Also, many of us are painfully aware of the ongoing hassles that tend to come with diverging from default core components, and this is especially true with systemd as more projects come to depend on it. We therefore grit our teeth and accept the installer's unwelcome default. We have effectively been coerced.
I'm assuming that's due to the mental framing of the relationship. When a Junior Developer identifies the student/teacher relationship, you can encourage their growth in a way that you can't with a peer-to-peer relationship. The questions asker needs to understand that they're getting help LEARNING and not just an answer.
Keto definitely does not. I craved me some pizza pretty hard for a long time, even after getting over the initial adjustment.
TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA): Speculation-Based Vulnerability in Intel CPUs
How do you suspect that CrashPlan is making it sustainable?
Is that saying that you are comparing Cockroach running on 81 c5d.9xls vs Aurora running on 2 r3.8xls? I get that part of what you are trying to show is that Cockroach will scale far past what any single-master system can, but it feels pretty lame to run a test comparing transaction throughput on 2900 cores vs 64 cores and a data set size comparison on 81 hosts vs 2.

The sysbench metrics seems like a much fairer comparison, and CockroachDB looks great in those metrics as well, so I don't really get why you are leading with a comparison that looks really sketchy at first glance.
Added a rough translation which doesn't really add anything to what the parent comment said.
> To give you an idea of the scale, I have two examples. The first is MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. They used to have 200+ engineers working on their sophisticated home-grown EMR. It was a huge undertaking. But even with MDACC revenue, that development was unsustainable, and they moved to a 3rd party EMR vendor.

I'm not certain what aspect you are trying to highlight with this example, but readers should know that the MD Anderson implementation of the EPIC EMR system led to a 77% drop in income and layoffs approaching 1,000 people (2016-2017 time frame)[1][2]. I'm not up to date enough to know whether they have ever recovered.

Yep, sure is possible. But all it takes is one unstable leader, or the failing of governmental structures designed to promote stability, or a few flaky sensors erroneously claiming a nuclear attack, and the meta-stability of MAD can tunnel to the true potential minimum, where nobody can wage war because we're all dead.

The modern world is unaware of how terrible major wars and nuclear weapons can be, because we are now generations removed from the experience. I fear that we are poised to re-learn some of those lessons.

Circling back: Yep, sure is possible, but I'm not going to work on weapons systems unless we are at war. I'd rather work on the education and science needed to help everyone respect one another and lead healthier lives. I've only got one life and don't want to spend it building systems that might end others' lives more-efficiently.
I think I'm a lot more benefit-of-the-doubt than you, but I agree completely with what you said.

Red Hat is very committed to putting the necessary infrastructure and organization in place around projects before they open source to make sure that the code isn't just available but can actually use community contributions. I don't have any inside info on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if OpenShift 4 is just waiting for that, or possibly to be in a stable enough state that the community can contribute.

Of course it's possible also that RH is keeping it closed for other reasons as well such as avoiding tipping their hand to competitors until their end goal is realized or something like that. I guess the point is I don't know, but given Red Hat's history of open sourcing even valuable acquisitions, I have faith that they will with OpenShift 4 as well.
It's my impression that Germany and Japan are leaders in producing the capital equipment needed to set up manufacturing, although the US is fairly capable in some areas. I think that China imports a lot of equipment from them and then integrates it into factory systems.

You 5 statements are probably right with some qualification. For example, software mass production is basically free (actually just low cost) for apps distributed via the app stores. However, if you are selling software as a service at scale, setting up a cloud service with five 9s availability is complex and expensive.

If a border agent is giving me shit, the last thing I'm worried about is whether or not any evidence they gather is going to be used against me in court.

99.9% of the time, the most negative outcome of this kind of interaction will be losing my stuff, being arrested and held for anywhere up to 24 hours, or being denied entry. For most people, these are a compelling enough reasons to comply with a power-tripping border agent. Despite this ruling, your recourse in such a situation will remain quite limited.
>The disclosed documents include highly confidential outlines of Project Nightingale, laying out the four stages or “pillars” of the secret project.

The whole article is written like they are trying to tell a spy story which brings into question the credibility that there's any wrong doing.
> I think they should not teach that.

I agree that the practical side of things is quite a different specialism - computer architecture and compilers are different topics than the 'pure' study of algorithms. Today's emphasis on concurrency and parallelism does impact the theory, though; the worlds aren't entirely isolated.

I suppose my point is a semantic one: I consider the practical aspects to be a part of the study of algorithms.

> The real world performance issues area is heavily dependent on technology being used and changes over time, algorithm course is about basic platform neutral algorithms.

Well, the Coppersmith-Winograd algorithm will never be practical.

> algorithm course is about basic platform neutral algorithms

There's no such thing. That's why I mentioned Coppersmith-Winograd.

Looking only at the complexity properties of the Coppersmith-Winograd algorithm, you're unlikely to reach the (correct) conclusion that it's entirely useless for any practical application.

> Those real time considerations should be taught, but in more courses that are focused on coding itself and by people who are focused on that area, are good at it and can explain it in depth.

Agree, except to nitpick that it's necessary to develop a solid understanding of computer architecture, which may or may not fall under 'coding'. (That sort of expertise is beyond the knowledge of most coders.) Again, that's just semantics.

> A single prof does not need to be good everything and every course does not need to teach everything.

Agree completely, but it's important not to oversell the theory.
had my doubts, but it really seems to be a solid business model. shady, sure. despicable too. but still solid.

I've always wondered: what's the purpose of company values?

We'll have to agree to disagree about the invasiveness. In the case of the lawsuit in the original post, it's the search of all your electronic devices. I consider that to be quite invasive.

Furthermore, CBP and ICE both claimed their authority to search electronic devices at the border extended to US citizens, so much of the profiling was not just of people from certain countries, but from people whose ancestry was from certain countries.

Lastly, I can't and won't try to convince you that it's wrong to subject people of various backgrounds to different, worse treatment, whether it's "cruel and unusual" or unfair, or invasive, or even simply inconvenient. It sounds like you aren't usually subject to such treatment or else you would probably have a different outlook on it. I recommend talking or listening to some people who do, and what their experiences are like.
You might have to give specific examples with wasm in mind instead of talking about ' combinatorial exoplosions in the state space of the amplified meta system '
>So why are we not heavily investing in biofuel infrastructure?

I think the problems are more economics than physics. There was a huge investment in algal biofuels but it never proved economic. (eg https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/lessons-from-th...)

I was a fan of Algenol for a while who were supposed to have algae that gave off ethanol cheaper than normal fossil fuel but it never worked out. Maybe something like that in the future will work.

As an American I'm very confused why clear constitutional violations don't warrant any repercussions on the perpetrating individuals.

So I work for a company that deals with medical data, if I violate HIPAA, I don't get to just keep doing it until a federal court says stop and then walk away as if nothing happened. I'm personally held responsible for those violations. Not just my company, me.

Why aren't each of these agents that obviously and egregiously violated the constitution subject to imprisonment or fines for each violation?
That's an awesome tip; thank you!
This or simply more vacation( I would prefer more vacation but it's probably harder to implement).

My controversial opinion is that half of the work is unnecessary (there's surplus of labor that has many negative consequenes for society at large - in short a lot of effort is pointless/missdirected as competition due to surplus locks many people in slavery(serving others more than themselves)).

It could be easily solved by people working simply half of a year. Lack of monopoly(all year round) on certain roles would benefit most enterprises and people would have time for exploration/education.

My hope is that external pressure such as rising asia will give some room for such progresive ideas in the west. They might even end up more competitive in a world that rewards creativity(derivarive of leisure) and education.

Can only hope as we will get war instead.

That interpretation is farcical and was rightly overturned. How can a right be held by the collective if it is not protected for the individual? Are we to believe that individual journalists may be hauled off to jail without violating the freedom of "the press"?

Collective rights are held by the States. "The people" are individuals and the prefatory militia clause is not a limit.
And us old folk didn't have social media, only newspapers. So just imagine the youth of today with their smart gadgets and they're constantly comparing themselves to everyone on social media.

I thought that these wars would have significantly impacted those part of Gen X and before, since the uncertainty of war was physically and mentally exhausting for a civilian solider due to traumatic illnesses like PTSD.

Fast forward today, now we have so called 'problems' such as 'anxiety' over clapping, not getting the perfect photo for that 'selfie' or reacting to 'trolls' on social media which sound far more ridiculous to be depressed or anxious about when compared to the events 75 years ago.

What on earth would the veterans think of what they are seeing today?
Openshift 4.x is open-source. I'm guessing what your speaking towards is the fact that there is no prebuilt distribution of it that doesn't require a subscription, ie: OKD, which is something being worked on. Clayon started off the conversation on this back in June: https://lists.openshift.redhat.com/openshift-archives/users/...

But everything it's being built with is entirely FOSS. Making OKD happen is a high priority and is being worked on.

From my understanding, most of it's been blocked on Fedora CoreOS being at a state that it can be used for OKD and just putting resources onto setting up the automation for building everything for OKD.

Remember that Openshift 4.x fundamentally changed how Openshift does updates and that affects OKD a lot. Claytons email touches on this quite a bit.

Disclosure: I work at Red Hat, on projects related to Openshift.
It is essential that we find a way to stop humans from getting better at killing one another. If killing-technology advances to the point that one person can kill seven billion, we will have a major problem on our hands.

What is necessary is to have sufficient distributed killing-capacity to prevent any one actor from gaining outsized power over everyone else. If people collectively agree that WMD are bad, and are willing to go to conventional war to stop everyone else from developing WMD, there may be a WMD-free equilibrium.
The metric the agent's boss's boss's boss cares about is convictions because that's how they justify their budget "look at all these criminals we're catching". If they can't use the illegal searches in order to convict people of crimes they're much less likely to spend the man hours doing them as routine procedure.

Also, it's not exactly hard for a lawyer to argue that you were coerced into consenting to a search in your hypothetical example. Since the people crossing the border are mostly non-criminals if CPB does use those tactics routinely it will not take long at all for a suitably politically sympathetic victim to come along and precedent to be established saying that is also not ok.
Snopes doesn't de-platform anyone. Your beef is rightly with Google or Facebook.

Snopes labels things that are false as false. This includes many or most satirical articles. Given the number of times I've told someone that a thing is false and had to provide a scopes link before they would even start to believe me, I'm very grateful for snopes.

Facebook and Google can pound sand.

The solution to that then is to not pretend like PeerTube is centralized by hijacking the name for your URL. If you're hosting an instance, give it a unique name. If MyCoolVideos.com is a peertube instance with a bunch of child porn, then MyCoolVideos.com is going to get labeled as a bad site, and no one will know or care if the underlying technology is PeerTube.

This is a problem with federated services in general. People always seem to want to register on the "official" instance, when really there is none. I think there should be a solution to help people make the decision, or better yet not force them to make a decision at all. Maybe some OpenID-type login/account system should be used instead of having to make an account on a single instance. Or simply stop trying to market the underlying tech, like Mastodon or PeerTube, since that's not going to make a difference to the end-user and will just confuse them.
That's normal advice for any database or system that does it's own data replication. Having multiple distributed storage layers never works out well.
Saving, shared queries, easy link sharing, and basic charts with some intelligence. It also has excellent query UX (auto-complete, etc.).

Most of all, it's really fast. It fundamentally depends on your DB of course, but PopSQL doesn't add any extra bloat the way Mode does.

Company Values are generally a bunch of nice things and you look at them and think well yes thats nice.

A more interesting question, I think, is what other Values (that didn't make the list) the Company is prepared to let slide in order to achieve the official ones that did make the list. If you are optimising for some specific set of values, that must mean you are prepared to let other unnamed ones slide a little.

e.g. to achieve 'Kindness' you might need to let 'Consistency' slide, and so on.

So what Values is a company not prioritising? Thats a much more interesting discussion.

edit: Lets have a worked example, make this a bit more concrete.

Lets say Organisation X is a community interest company and has the following values:

* Leadership

* Excellence

* Collaboration

* Integrity

* Commitment

What a lovely bunch of values. Who wouldn't want to adopt those?

But whats more interesting to think about is "what are they prepared to compromise to achieve those values?":

e.g. if Commitment is an important value, does that mean Flexibility is not valued so much? Because surely if you are committed, you lose flexibility.
Or if Collaboration is an important value, does that mean 'Delivering things on time' is less valued? Because collaborating with everybody takes time to organise.
Eh. US Pop culture was a lot more unified before Netflix (and especially before VCRs, and before the number of channels got so big). I'm told there was a time when everyone watched whichever current sitcom, or the Simpsons, to a much greater degree than the article's "everybody watched the Game of Thrones finale". Even if we had another manned Moon mission, or even a manned Mars mission, I doubt it would have as many people watching as the later Apollo missions (much less viewed than 11).

> the only open sourcing in that space is AWX

AWX isn't a trivial or unimportant product. For deployments of scale it's very important. It would also have been very easy to hoard the code and not release it, so the fact that RH did is impressive to me.

Having not tried to use open source AWX I'll take your word for the state of it. That saddens me greatly, and RH should do better. RH normally works pretty hard to avoid exactly that, but nobody is perfect (not making an excuse, just acknowledging failure).

Have you tried to contribute to AWX and had a bad experience?

The article doesnt claim he does or doesn't. It just looks at the data. The conclusion explains there isnt any conclusive evidence either way. Did you read it?

While it may seem “obvious” to some of us that Trump isnt the man he used to be in terms of cognitive or speaking ability, sussing out proof of this decline is harder than one might imagine. Although there are some clues, they are far from conclusive. By comparing Trump with Sanders, we see similarities in changes over time, perhaps with Trump’s changes being mildly more pronounced. Whether this means both Trump and Sanders have declining cognitive abilities is an open question. For now, it appears there isn’t enough of a change over time to find anything resembling conclusive evidence for Trump having dementia, Alzheimer’s or other cognitive decline.

A tiny bit of sanity returns to the US borders.

Think I'll give it a miss for now though. The entire border crew seems like a law onto themselves.

e.g. last time - got hassled about being a dual citizen (neither US). But then while standing in a queue for a metal detector (as per agent instructions) another agent pulls me out of the queue and says I don't need to do this go around there. Rest of epic long queue proceeds towards detector/search as if nothing happened...just me.

Very much doubt there is any rhyme or reason behind what's happening at the borders beyond massive power trips.
