This is one of the main benefits of Pulsar is that because state is split between brokers and bookkeeper and bookkeeper doesn't need re-balanced (due to it's segment based architecture where you choose new bookies with each new segment), we really don't have to worry about re-balancing (in general, not just in case of failover) of storage. It is true that topics map to a single broker, but generally, Pulsar has really good limits on memory so we don't see nodes getting killed by limits and we only really see re-scheduling for real issues.

While there certainly is some aspects you need to be aware of, generally, Pulsar is much more "cloud native" and maps quiet well to k8s primitives.

If I recall correctly, Strava had precisely this unintended consequence -- if you saw someone using the app to run laps in the middle of nowhere, it was likely a military base.
I can't tell you how they do it, but Telegram is lightning fast with push notifications across all kinds of devices, including Android. Been rocking it as my primary messenger for years.

Whenever a few of us are sitting around in real life, and someone sends something to a group chat, all the phones on the table will buzz instantly together (iOS and Android).

And on top of that, battery usage is really low on Android. I use it a TON, and it's never in the top n apps of battery usage. Meanwhile, I can just open Snapchat once, and I lose a few percent.
You can also click the Finder icon in the Dock and then ⌘N.

I understand why this bothers you but I do think the current behavior is better than the alternative. I often click the Finder icon to bring my existing Finder windows to the front.

The alternative is to risk creating extra Finder windows the user didn't want, and that's a bad outcome. Too many windows get hard to manage, especially when you're not sure where some of them came from.

That food delivery thing is an interesting idea. Delivery place switches to reusable sturdy containers. When delivering the delivery guy asks if the people have old containers to return and takes them. They're washed back at the restaurant.

It's a tough sell though. A lot more work for the restaurant and almost certainly higher costs. There will be constant shrinkage of the reusable containers to deal with as well as having to pay someone to wash them.

It would probably work best if the containers were generic and everybody used the same ones, so no matter who you ordered from this time you could return your containers from last time. But that's an even harder sell: why pass up the opportunity for advertising?

I still like the idea, but acknowledge that it would probably struggle to gain traction in the real world.

The people running "vision zero" are spending large chunks of their money buying facebook ads telling the public about the ads they are buying at city-owned bus stops. Mayor Ed Lee of SF introduced the "Vision Zero" initiative years ago, but unfortunately died in office and the department he left behind is in zombie mode with no leadership or direction so they're buying bus stop ads reminding bus riders to look for pedestrians when driving their car. Preaching to the choir.
NYC already has enough going on underground (in the form of basements, cellars, subways, infrastructure) that the idea of underground dumpsters here is pretty ridiculous.

Exactly. Obviously, it's still VR. However, because the gap between say an Oculus Quest and a Google Cardboard is so massive, calling both VR without further specifying is not very sensible to me. It's almost like a completely different technology, the only similarity being that optical lenses are used between the screen and the user's eyes.
The running joke among the last few years of MIT grads, as far as I've heard from our hires, is that only the bottom of the class goes to work at Google.

Cmd-N will open a new Window once Finder is in the foreground.

If you are in Terminal then "open ." will open the current directory in Finder.

Critically, if you have hard evidence that could screw the company, they fire the person that would minimize the damage if you were to sue.

Finder lets you copy and paste with a right mouse click. You can't cut, which is occasionally annoying, although I understand why.

> You can create new files with right click.

Ah, but you can add that to Finder! Make an automator service that will run the touch command in the front Finder window. It will appear in the right click menu. Or download the one I already made: https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/Automator-Quick-Actions/blob/...

Who Has Chronic Back or Neck Pain?
This is nore realistic than a number of people realize I think:

I happen to be known as a nice sysadmin and therefore people call me so I got a number of stories.

Many of my older friends and relatives are somewhat immune as their technical English just isn't good enough.

I find the persons who call are mostly 25-35 year olds (I had one older acquaintance who taught highly technical subjects at university level who installed various cleaners that were clearly scams to me but I'll leave him out and focus on the telephone tech support scams.)

Most of the cases we've managed to stop somehow. The one were I didn't manage to stop it in time or get the money back was actually a young accountant who got his personal checkings account emptied.

One thing I've noticed is that several of the people who fall for it are surprisingly smart.

In the last case I interviewed the victim for 20 minutes afterwards and what shook me was how she had no recollection of anything between the start of the call and when she was pulling out her second credit card.

This suggests to me that the best scammers are kind of good with something NLP-line or something.

(FTR: I do also pretend to be a victim everytime they call me both to annoy them for my own entertainment and to learn what they do so I have a fair idea of the first part of the scam.)

>The problem is 'begs the question' is not an intuitive phrase to describe the formal definition

it does if you look at the etymology; beg comes begging off i.e. asking for exemption from something. it's archaic at this point of course but still fairly intelligible in that use; "he begged off doing his chores".

His son's reaction reminds me of the first time I quit social media. I remember just walking about, living my life, and then a thought would occur--a clever remark or an interested photo I could take. And then I had to grapple with not sharing that thought with anyone. The thought would just linger in my head for a bit, then disappear, and there would be no record of it at all. That's been default for 99.9999% of human existence, and in a few short years of social media usage, it became a strange and foreign sensation.

I'm glad I went through that to readjust and see just how much my mind had been warped. I use social media much less than I used to and I'm happier for it.

Same happened to weed. Before the recent burst of weed legalization (i.e. before California, MA, etc legalized it in 2016) the only "high shelf" weed you could find in dealers or dispensers were >30% THC weed that was practically impossible for me to smoke as a light weight. Today we have more options e.g. 1:1 THC:CBD flowers with ~10% THC which is a lot easier to smoke for people like me who don't want to get very high.

I'm really curious about the benefits of their implementation. It's far beyond my grasp to make any serious criticisms and I don't really want to doubt them, it just seems a pretty radical departure from even the direction of innovation.

The way they paint it sounds like they're putting in redundant cores to account for failure of what seems like what I would call the 'first line' cores, i.e. there's cores that are only used if some primary ones aren't working?

But sort of intuitively that doesn't make a whole lot of sense given the parallel nature. Maybe they are just putting in 101% of specified cores, and if there's a ~1% hopefully uniform-ish core failure rate then it's all gucci?

I guess my question is probably similar to yours, what are you giving up with yield-enhancing redundancy of a behemoth die vs integrating a bunch of confirmed working chiplets together?

I've seen a similar thing happen. It all started with good intentions, like only having simple endpoints that do "one and only one thing".

In the end the backend was pure and beautiful, but the the frontend devs had to perform joins in the the client and make 21 API calls in a 20-item list and then everything goes to hell.

Our stack is built in Java/Python with a React frontend. The initial focus would be to improve our indexing engine with the opportunity to expand into other challenging computer science topics (e.g., horizontal scaling of applications, integrating and working with new data structures based on client demand, etc.).

To find out more about the opportunity, please check out https://www.ohalo.co/jobs Look forward to hearing from you!
It isn't incumbent upon me to solve a public health crisis for the city before I comment on its existence and the official attitude of neglect towards the problem.

To your points, most brownstones in, say, Park Slope, do have bins in their yard, and the trash collectors remove waste from that bin. This is at least marginal rat resistance. Midrise buildings that are further out than that will have room for dumpsters if they are required.

(Multi-family apartment buildings are a form of commercial real estate, though they are neither office nor retail.)

@OP sorry for lame question:

Honestly, the intent there seems easy: it's hard to tell at a glance that library A version 230 is compatible with library B version 1.2.4

However, if they both used date-based versioning, then the compatible versions would in theory have the same-ish version of 2019.12.* when compatible with each other.

For the same reasons as in tons of other comments, I also don't think this theory would work out.
It wouldn't help your case since that's a paraphrasing of this quote from Max Planck:

Bluetooth on Linux is an unprecedented abomination.

You’d think most of it would be similar to network interfaces, handled by the kernel with commands such as ip, iptables, etc to configure it?

Wrong! Instead it’s mostly done in userspace and the tools to talk to it are using D-Bus which is an opaque, inconsistent, hard to understand mess which you can’t easily interact with programmatically.

As horrible as BT itself is I’d give the protocol itself a break in this case and focus on the terrible implementation.
