A news site seems like a weird example for an auto-scaling database use case, since, asked to design a news site from scratch, I would aim for 0% of public requests to touch the DB.
Sad to say this, but if you have to ask, it's likely part of the reason you're not a member. The societies certainly still exist, and the relationships that are built there continue from higher education pedigree-ing to drive high-level capital allocation. You'll most closely see this in the management and leadership structure at large companies and venture capital firms.

Folks try with varying attempts to create powerful secret societies in today's highly digital age, but they continue to be successful for the same reasons they always were -- the patronage of the wealthy and powerful. The highly stratified economic classes in the tech scene ensure this would remain the case.

If you're not part of this class but want to look into collective action, what you're looking for may not be a masonic society but a union.

Agreed. While I believe the article points out the gruesomeness, it also carefully notes how much less collateral damage is likely.

I came away from the article a bit sickened by the concept, yes, but also proud we have a weapon whose purpose is to avoid accidental civilian deaths. And I have to admit, as gory as this weapon sounds, it's no worse than explosives.

I don't like war. I figure no one in their right mind should. I do acknowledge there's a time for it, and even a time for assassination (i.e. al Qaeda and similar).

I pray our leaders are able to make the right decisions regarding when these things are needed, and I'm nervous that some of our leaders don't fit that bill (moreso, that a future crop of leaders might abuse these powers to terrible ends).
I am mostly in agreement with this article; releasing a tarball is a necessary and
sufficient mechanism for distributing your software. If it is valuable enough,
maintainers can use that tarball to package it. I strongly believe that my software
isn't somehow "more special" than anybody elses'; users shouln't have to install my
software any differently than others', or expect a different release cadence.

For those unfamiliar with the packaging process, check out Fedora's `.spec` file to
generate the RPM for rsync [0]. It contains instructions for downloading the
tarball, installing dependencies from Fedora's repositories, build commands, and
metadata. Tarballs can also be used to generate Flatpaks in much the same way; see
the manifest file for qBittorrent [1] for an example.

It is okay to distribute your own software, but only for development. End-users
should not be expected to get your software from npm, PyPI, etc. when distro
packages exist.

That being said, it is possible for developers to optionally go above and beyond by:

- setting up repositories for the latest stable release or prerelease, for those
interested

- Providing their own binaries/artifacts (if applicable) for anybody who wants to
test software out before installing.

These are not replacements for distributing a tarball that can be used for
packaging; they are optional additional steps.

Nonviolent communication is rather weird and robotic - you can just talk normally, I like to think I'm quite a good communicator in terms of both listening and explaining.

I wouldn't worry about me - it doesn't make it difficult to heal, and my therapist is already well aware of it (and obviously the fact that I have a therapist means I'm pursuing conventional means of working on my anxiety, if you were worried I was trying to "hack" mental health).

If you're mostly ignorant about modafinil, what reason do you have to be worried? Are you assuming I haven't done my research, or that perhaps I'm willing to take risks with my health to pursue productivity while not directly dealing with my anxiety? Because that isn't the case - modafinil is extremely safe, and I am pursuing long-term improvements while using it to fill the gap.

If you're interested in nonviolent communication then I would assume you are wanting to empathise better with others, and communicate more equitably. I would suggest that rather than working from your initial judgement, you could use Socratic questioning to better understand the other person's perspective and decision-making before jumping to conclusions. I use this technique all the time to navigate such situations.

For example: your initial judgement of "I still feel a little uneasy about it and worry that it's making it difficult for you to heal from whatever trauma has brought about your anxiety" hinges on presumptions that:

1. Modafinil impedes my ability to make longer-term progress

2. I am using modafinil instead of a longer-term approach, as opposed to supplementing a longer-term approach with a short-term stopgap

Rather than assuming these presumptions are true, you can probe using questions like "are you not concerned that modafinil might make focusing more difficult in the long term?" or "have you considered seeking more traditional help with focus, such as a doctor or therapist?". This usually leads to either learning on your part, or at least a direction in the conversation where you can identify where the disconnect between your thinking and mine is.

A dishwasher in the normal cycle uses about as much water as an efficient person uses in washing a single large pot without the tap running (reusing this water for washing all dishes is the most efficient way to hand wash)

In addition, a dishwasher has high pressure pumps, a centrifugal grinder, and its own water heater (to heat hotter and more localized than a central water heater, above sanitizing levels)
It's hard to be nice and fluffy in a market where there's a lot of competition, but there's degrees. When you deliberately attempt to sabotage other people's software that has to run on your OS, but competes with an MS Product (e.g. Lotus vs Excel) then it's stepping over a line.

Thanks goodness for Linux and the web (and later mobile computing which MS failed to dominate) to pull us away from the brink of an MS monoculture.
I'm a regular at my local gun club. It's full of older folks - which is OK, but I think one needs to occasionally be around people of one's age group

> Identification of critical API calls and respective timings would be integral to continue building the GUI elements. But we all know how waterfall is poo-pooed these days.

If you've worked out which API calls are happening and how often, you've already written most of the application. It's just that it might be on paper or in pseudocode.

Waterfall was abandoned because getting to that level of detail takes far too long for management to accept and it's easier - sometimes orders of magnitude faster - to write the thing as actual code, try it, and then see what needs improving. And see what was wrong with the requirements.
What do you think are the monetary losses by unmaintainable software, resulting in bad and extremely unsafe practices (not related to memory, but...) like in my link? What do you think are the monetary losses from developers going mentally ill because they don't understand and don't like the shit they're doing?
Maybe if Elon Musk had published a diary detailing his experiences we could talk about how psychadelics have affected him, however in the absence of such a record, I don't think anyone else other than his close friends or family could really light up the dark of that relationship.

Wait. Wikipedia says Elon Musk skipped out on his mandatory South African military service. Is he still allowed back in South Africa? Does he still have their citizenship?

Yeah, it's not explained at all in the article how they are getting that kind of data out of google and linking it to a phone number/address. I've certainly never seen anyones browsing history on the analytics I have set up on my blog.
I believe there are some flaws in your thinking, or at least the way you have articulated it in your comments. Hopefully this is received less as criticism, but more so as fine tuning or improvement of your ideas...

> Almost everyone that I meet who has done considerable, or even moderate, amounts of psychedelics has clear and obvious personality changes. Personality is a poor word to use, but something like their disposition, "hippy" attitude is extremely common.

How many samples have you based your conclusion on? Did all/most members belong to one common group of people (your subsequent comment suggests yes). Is it safe to assume all individuals will adopt this style of thinking, and to a similar degree that you've experienced?

> So much so that I think these drugs cause long term physical damage to peoples cognitive faculties.

May cause (I suspect you know this, but just making note of it).

> The most productive and successful people I meet almost always have been mostly sober their whole life, exhibiting balance and clear headedness.

How do you know they have been mostly sober their whole life?

> If psychedelics are doing any good, it is because those who are taking them are already so broken, any kind of change could be construed as positive.

This is a theory, with little if any supporting evidence (I suspect you know this, but just making note of it). My point is, stating theories as facts can alter the mental models of those who read your comments (which is likely the sort of thing going on with the group of friends you observed)

> Society tells us that anecdotal evidence is false, but that's brainwashing.

Here I very much agree.

> I can see with my own two my eyes what drugs do.

What drugs can do, as you've interpreted, in a very small set.

> Most likely certain areas of people brains are dampened or flattened by these drugs, and so if youre and anxious person, maybe you experience "relief", but that comes at a cost.

It comes at a cost sometimes. How frequent this is, and to what degree, is unknown. (I suspect you may know this, but here I am less confident).

> its very common for people on hacker news and elsewhere on the internet to argue against being able to extrapolate truth from subjective experiences.

Very much agree, and this thinking is so clearly incorrect that is frustrates me to encounter it so frequently among rational people.

> But like I was saying, what I have seen has been that psychedelic effects on peoples brains are often deterministic, many people who have taken too many end up with very similar psychological profiles and dispositions. Clearly there is something going on there. In some ways, part of the angst in my post arises from all of these different news articles popping up that talk about the positives of psychedelics, when neither the people writing the articles, nor those reading them probably know very many people with any experience.

I agree. These are powerful substances, are often taken far more lightly than they deserve, and opinions expressed on forums often lack epistemic humility.
Wow. My experience is that Java got it spectacularly wrong, with different tools stepping on each other constantly.

FWIW, London is an incredible, vibrant city and one of my personal favorite places on Earth. Something you might like if you are feeling dread from being in such a dense city is how close it is to the country. A short train ride will take you far outside of the city and there are plenty of places to go that give you that 'small town' feel.

Also, go to Terry's for breakfast in the city.

>All these academics and journalists are under watch from cultural police. If any of them ever wrote something that indicated men were better in any way or context, or were victimized by women in any way, they'd be subjects to a brutal and likely cryptic personal destruction campaign by feminist activists

While this sentiment is true in extreme cases, I think the problem is more subtle. What we are seeing is the momentum of decades of institutional bias in soft science academia. The current status quo is propped up by activist researchers who believe in what they're doing and are either unaware of the bias in their research or believe it is acceptable in consideration of the greater good.

So if you attempt to publish a paper against the political grain of your discipline, you may not be attacked by Twitter feminists, but you will likely see support from colleagues in your department wane, and your academic career could suffer as a result. This implicitly keeps people "in line".
Why Electronic Voting Is Still a Bad Idea
This would be to misunderstand what those organizations are and the purposes they serve.

I heartily recommend checking out one of those organizations in your area. By design it is quite difficult for dishonest men to get into them. Quite possibly, this is why they are dying out.

> When you value raising kids at or above office work, then it doesn't look like "discrimination" that women chose to stay at home to raise a family, it looks like a personal choice that's highly valued by many.

Yeah exactly, the problem goes away. You don't make money being a stay at home mom though, so maybe that's why we consider it a problem, IDK.

I was just offering a couple of ways to look at it where it's still discriminatory. Not saying I agree with either. There has to be a reason somewhere that women aren't as represented in upper management, and when you find that reason you can call it discriminatory, if you think that being upper management is a desirable thing. If you don't then the discrimination isn't bad or you don't consider it discrimination, as you pointed out. Economically, being upper management is certainly good though. That's basically objective.

How quaint. Let me describe a lesson patently obvious to anyone who has sat in on enterprise sales at a scaling B2B startup.

An economy "here market participants are free to choose among products offered and must bear the cost of their own market purchases" is certainly not the one that exists in the USA or the other largest nation-states by GDP. Here, as is there, a complex interplay of central and state-level government ensures monopolistic or monopsonistic consolidation occurs, drives, and many would say manipulates market motions. This isn't to say that efficiency doesn't mediate resource accumulation or allocation; far from it. But it's certainly not a rule for how contracts are decided and resources allocated.
I think this is helpful and will give it a try.

Greedy content producers will not stop including sponsors in their videos. "This video could not have been made without $sponsor..." Yeah, yeah, what a BS: Lots (like several 100k) of subscribers, Patreons, ads on the videos, affiliate links in the description and sometimes sponsored hardware with a well visible brand logo and you still come around and tell me you couldn't make ends meet without even more sponsorships?

Especially with all the more-or-less shady VPN providers, "JLCPCB" on electronics videos or Skillshare on the rest of the videos, YouTube feels more and more like linear television.

Hilarious pictures prove how cats can squeeze into the most awkward spaces
Totally agree people benefit from understanding the why - it allows them to bring their own capabilities to the problem, not just follow instructions.

Not so sure it needs to be in the form of a narrative though...

Why isn't the 'why' a just a fact?

By building a story to try to get emotional engagement, aren't you guilty of trying to over-control people's emotional response?

If you give them the facts they can make their own personal connections to the mission - again bringing their own story to it, rather than top down.

You do need to tailor it to your workforce of course - I work in a high tech industry with lots of self-motivated PhD's.
The bar is so much lower for men than for women. For a man to be promoted by another man all you have to do is enjoy going out for a beer (or as the article mentions a smoke). This is not some societal male backlash, it is actually how things work. The level of incompetence that a man can exhibit and still get promoted is astounding. Probably the reason why women promote men less frequently is that women have higher standards, since they themselves are held to higher standards.
This had to happen, right?

It reminds me of Adblock Radio [1, 2], which blocks ads on radios using several techniques (it has nothing to do with the Adblock browser extension).

I wouldn't simplify it so much.

For example, I can basically guarantee that the few people I know with bodies that I'd classify as "pretty good" don't drink any Coca Cola.

They don't just drink a little bit. They drink none. And they have entire lifestyle patterns that conspire to keep them thin and fit, not just a few sliders tweaked.

I think acknowledging this is crucial to changing your health trajectory. The difference between a fit person and the average HN user isn't just a small twist of some variable knob. It's a whole collection of good practices beyond limiting portion size.
Doing so into the main container filesystem (which is usually an overlay/union stack) is probably bad for performance.

But a bind mount (which is usually the recommended way to do it so that data survives the container lifespan) will avoid that and just leave you with whatever "problems" the host filesystem has re: database files.
I like the idea of crowdsourced effort to build useful datasets. Nevertheless, with growing popularity, I can imagine a whole lot of potential abuse of the voting API, e.g: blacklisting competitors channels.
I’m not getting on that boat for sure
Such beliefs are obviously silly, but they may also be true (placebo effect, power of positive thinking, etc). We lack sufficient data to form a very strong conclusion one way or the other, but we certainly have some.
Also it's rather insulting to say that men progressing through their careers means they don't want to raise their children. I would say many, if not most, men rise strive for promotion for no other reason than to raise their children better...
No, but you do need to incorporate public features that bigger cities have, like parks. That doesn't happen magically, you need to plan for that.
Servers with GPU's are not going to be cheap :)
I think this is a terrible argument.

Talking about being "afraid of density" shifts the argument and action away from progress. The discussion should be that *we should try to avoid density" and we're failing at that.

We need:

1) Faster and more efficient travel to/from hubs.

2) Organizations to embrace remote work.
Your description is correct. You can match keyword bids -> calls -> sales, so it makes it very clear what keywords to spend your marketing budget on. (caveats everywhere of course)
New graphing tool for PipeWire debugging
I've spend 1 minute skimming some of the docs, but it's unclear whether these tools can do a better job than the docker-like tooling. The vmadm "build an image from scratch with a json file" doesn't help in building Hadoop any more than the oldest versions of docker did using a minimal image and a Dockerfile.

How does provide visibility into every dependency inside an image? Especially when using 3rd-party-maintained images that consist of significant hours of work per image to get the image to work.

(BTW., I built "live CD images" for use in physical and virtual machines since ~2001, using tools such as mklivecd, livecd-tools etc.).
It is disappointing that so many comments here dismiss the tool as useless. The heuristics provided are priceless and worth days of engineering.
I've used it a little bit for a Google App Engine app.

The built-in debugger is very impressive, you can print variables in production code without slowing down (at least on Google App Engine). The exception tracking view is nice although not as detailed as Sentry. That's about it for the good.

The bad:

The web UI regarding logging is absolutely awful. It's quite slow, the query language is IMO not very intuitive, but worst of all, linking to a particular log entry is horrible, and the current view isn't persisted in the URL so you quickly become scared of anything that would reload the page as you'd never find where you were before. I have never dreaded looking at logs as much before. Usually it would be the logs themselves that scare me, but in this case it's the tool for viewing the logs.

It's also Google, so there's some creepy telemetry to stalk your console behaviour. I couldn't believe it when I first saw a toggle for that somewhere deep in the user settings but looking back at it I should've expected it coming from such a company.
> You're essentially getting nothing out of make except indirection

The thing you're getting is some familiarity, I think (because of the indirection). It's sort of like using a `package.json` for the scripts section, but you get to have comments, and there's less other random stuff in there.

I definitely understand why many would think this is over-kill though. A proper readme is probably just as good/better.
