It takes a big change and breaking your pattern to get out of that.
Naples. And English is the odd one, not Italian. Most languages use exonyms. Germans call Venice Venedig and Estonia Estland, the French call Spain l’Espagne. The same process of translation for names was completely normal across Europe well into the 1800s.

Problem is what use cases are strictly OLTP? At this point, I’d consider Scylla/C* to usable for a write-only workload with single-row lookups, or a single-column range lookup.

Same question has to be raised: do you have enough rows to justify a distributed Scylla/C* or could you have used MySQL or Postgres on a giant box?
You like what you like, but I just want to point out that as a Firefox-first user, when I switch to Chrome to check that whatever I'm working on is cross-browser functional, I am struck with how bad Chrome looks. So I think some of what you perceive as "modern" is just what you're used to, and a short time after switching it will not bother you.

But, of course, you like whatever you like.
Other popular languages are not "getting" async. Asynchronous communication (just as synchronous) have been around since the dawn of computing.

The choice of synchronous or asynchronous communication have their own set of tradeoffs, but in most cases the additional complexity introduced by async is IMO not really work it.

Why Customers Are Not Purchasing Your Product
I would suggest looking into the history of the organisation.

And the operations of the organisation.

Who do they target? How do they target them? etc.

I've noticed on this forum that anything tangentially connected to a "right-wing" or "alt-right" organisation or figure should be considered suspicious...So it is worth noting that the founders of buzzfeed, also founded huffpost, alongside Andrew Breitbart. You know, of brietbart fame.
Have you or any of your friends ever worked in a non-tech, non-finance business?

Many of them are incredibly poorly run. Bad hiring practices, little/no investment in operations or process, etc.

All I'm saying is, you have to look case by case at what's going on. Sometimes the PE firm does basically loot the business. In others, entrenched management has been there decades with little board or investor oversight, is performing way below the rest of the industry, and really does need a swift kick in the ass.

Don't rush to blame the PE guys here anyway. Everyone knows Americans are drinking much less milk, they probably bought it at a deep discount knowing they might not be able to turn it into a successful business, and that bet failed.
Probably because nobody's gotten sued for using the same banner yet. At the end of the day, this law has added a burden very few web site admins wanted; they don't want to understand a law to provide content on the Internet (especially when that was unnecessary only a few years ago, and especially when it isn't perceived as adding value to the user experience). I'm not surprised if people try and do the minimum legally necessary to comply with its ambiguity and pray they don't become the test case to resolve that ambiguity.

I just upgraded my CPU and kept my GPU, an older Nvidia 960 GTX. My CPU was a Q6600 and now I have a Ryzen 2700X. CPU matters so much it's amazing. Some games are heavy on the GPU and some are heavy on the CPU. Depends on what kind of things they have going on.
It's true that it has been this way for most of human history. That's why children usually perpetuate their parents' behaviors. But you can stop this. That's what the book says. It takes a lot of work, but you can gradually change your beliefs.

Isn't getting clicks manipulating people into clicking?

We might want to say it is categorically different than manipulating people in other ways such as getting them to buy certain products or vote certain ways, but if we go down that path then I think we can begin saying that about most forms of manipulating people and thus we would need to spend a bit more time working on a standard of how acceptable different forms of manipulation are.

There is also a question of how do you draw the line between manipulating someone, tricking someone, educating someone, and convincing someone. If scientists are trying to warn the public about the dangers of climate change are they trying to manipulate public opinion, educate the public, or convince the public?

For a lot of people, cooking and eating is something they have to do but don't particularly care for. Maybe homie just wanted to have spaghetti with meat in it like his mom made all of his life. And now you're telling him that he should just eat something else entirely because he doesn't use quinoa in his spaghetti.

I'd rather have a bit of ground beef in my spaghetti than anything you listed. I could do mushrooms but I just... Like meat more.

So, yeah I'm stoked on impossible meat.

Yes, and Linux has done it for years. The problem is whether or not RDRAND should be trusted in the absence of sufficient estimated entropy that it should be used to unblock the CRNG during the boot process. This is what CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU or the random.trust_cpu=on on the boot command is all about. Should RDRAND be trusted in isolation? And I'm not going to answer that for you; a cypherpunk and someone working at the NSA might have different answers to that question. And it's fundamentally a social, not a technical question.
Reminds me of this:

Not answering directly your question, but I remember seeing a benchmark recently where there was more difference in performances for a program compiled with gcc and clang, than between the C++ clang and Rust performances.

So I believe that when you are that close in term of performances, you can assume that they all have the same performance, and that it should not be a decision driver whatsoever.
That is how disinformation can be protected from exposure. If you fill the channels with enough disinformation, then even true information exposing disinformation is treated as disinformation. It’s very corrosive of society.

> And yet, the vast majority of transactions on the LN proceed without a problem, and further improvements like AMP will further reduce the number of failed fees. Another option is to make an on-chain transaction.

Oh that's funny. While you're right that payments failing for not finding a route is a big problem, it's not even the real problem with routing.

The problem is for LN to function at scale, it have to centralize around a few big hubs. Because otherwise routing is impossible, and transactions will fail.

Decentralized routing is an intractable problem, and LN have to choose between centralization and scaling.
oh can’t they. don’t be so naive.

Adam Grant Picks 20 Leadership Books to Read in 2020
From David Brooks:

"I’ve been thinking about the difference between the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues. The résumé virtues are the ones you list on your résumé, the skills that you bring to the job market and that contribute to external success. The eulogy virtues are deeper. They’re the virtues that get talked about at your funeral, the ones that exist at the core of your being — whether you are kind, brave, honest or faithful; what kind of relationships you formed.

Most of us would say that the eulogy virtues are more important than the résumé virtues, but I confess that for long stretches of my life I’ve spent more time thinking about the latter than the former. Our education system is certainly oriented around the résumé virtues more than the eulogy ones. Public conversation is, too — the self-help tips in magazines, the nonfiction bestsellers. Most of us have clearer strategies for how to achieve career success than we do for how to develop a profound character."

Maybe we'd all do better to be focused on those 'eulogy virtues' rather than obsessing over our external success. For me at least, it's a constant battle to hold back the pull of the weasel trying to measure myself against external validation.
I've seen sites that refuse to show you their content at all until you've enabled notifications. I like this lying idea.
Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Intel literally has a more power-efficient SoC? I wouldn't be surprised to see more 13" AMD laptops with the 7nm die shrink next generation but even then I don't see AMD being more efficient than Intel 10nm.
Something that’s perhaps only clear with time and perspective is that no matter how much success people attain, they still find plenty of ways to be miserable. Some of the happiest people I’ve met in my life aren’t necessarily the luckiest or most successful - they’re the most grateful and compassionate. For those of us lucky to find “success”, the real question is: why did we want it so bad, and what are we going to make of it?
As an anesthesiologist working with EEG to monitor anesthesia, thank you for this comment.

I wouldn't say you can't do anything significant, it's a bit like listening on a computer with a stethoscope. You can certainly deduce something from fans and psu noise etc, but it's VERY crude.
The downside is that small communities become echo chambers and cause people to further polarize themselves. It is vitally important to engaged with a diversity of opinion if you don't want to become radicalized, especially with viewpoints that you don't agree with.
Sure would be nice to have a way to mark a block as "compile for arches x, y" and have the binary check on entry which you have and select a different code path. This way you could do it only for your hot sections and not need to have the entire binary duplicated.

AFAIK the main way to manage this right now is throwing the optimized stuff into a plugin and then loading it at runtime— but that ends up having huge implications on your project structure, source layout, etc.
> but you can't verify that it's truly random.

Even if you cannot be 100% sure that something is not really random, there are plenty of statistical measurements that can be used to assess the quality of the output (in terms of entropy).

> Let's say I generate a list of one million random numbers through a trustworthy source. Now I build a random number generator that does nothing but just return numbers from the list.

In less than a second your generator would be stalled which is a pretty obvious flaw to see.

The real issue is cryptographic algorithms because they are designed to simulate randomness, and they are adversarially improving when statistic methods of studies become more powerful. At every single point in time, state of the art cryptography is going to be able to produce fake random that the current state of the art cryptanalysis cannot prove as not random.
I'm not sure I'd classify it as "needlessly" emotive; the topic is very serious and deserves engagement from people, and emotions are one of many ways to engage people.

In the spirit of the founder of Y Combinator, I'd suggest that perhaps the emotive response signals that there is a sacred cow worth exploring here.

Cosmologists are behaving like real scientists. There is a gap in our knowledge of physics which appears to be dark matter and dark energy. That's something that needs to be resolved, one way or the other. Currently they are expending a lot of effort looking for dark matter and energy. If it ends up being wasted effort, that would be embarrassing, but it wouldn't have been wrong to look.
The last two times that I've cried were both at a funeral of close family members. That was 2 years and ~10 years ago, I believe. I don't remember any other instances (maybe when I was a little kid, but I don't remember). When I say 'cried', I mean.. there were tears on my face. I wasn't screaming and crying manically etc.

Why cry, anyway? Unless someone dies or is extremely ill, everything else seems tolerable to me.

As someone that have extensively studied history and evolutionary biology, I know exactly how good life is for me (and for many people, really). There's absolutely no reason to cry or feel sad about anything, especially things beyond my control.

Right now, we are connected through an online forum from our homes. It's just amazing! We got transportation, we can visit other countries, we have freedom (of some sort), some of us are in great physical shape, financially free, etc., we got running water, we got all possible foods from each corner of the world, we got infinite entertainment, etc. etc.

I don't want to offend anyone, but when I see a person that's not satisfied based on these things alone (sanitary, water, food, not that many active wars), that's a person that has no idea about the history of our species. This is life on the easiest mode ever recorded. Cherish it.
In that sense, it is not a very good version of the future. https://egpu.io is a good resource to get started on this. The 4-lane (sometimes only 2-lane) configuration of Thunderbolt 3 controllers, the overhead of the protocol and Intel’s insistence to reserve DisplayPort and USB bandwidth has made TB3 slower — 22Gbps maximum in a 32Gbps port hosting graphic cards that are usually electrically connected at 128Gbps (PCIe 3.0 x16).

I am going back the other way now, after having used an external enclosure for years.
It's a historical accident. IP registration information has been public for decades. The 80's internet was a friendlier place. Spam was unheard of.

But a web3 built on a the idea that to use a site (post, read) required even trivial thousandths of a cent would be unlikely to harm users but would at least dramatically increase the costs of this sort of thing. And moves the net to rely less on an advertising funding model.

If someone's being generous and cooperative merely as a contextual strategy, I can only cooperate with them to a very limited extent, since I can't trust that they will reciprocate beyond the short term.
Is the final code readable/maintainable?
Well, it's delightfully stupid.

In a webapp where you present user a button to activate notifiactions, when the user clicks the button seemingly nothing happens in FF72 (user is focussed on a big enable notifiactions button in the web app and may not notice that some tiny gray icon wiggled a little in the address bar).

On a big screen a button in the middle of the screen is so far away from the address bar, that you don't see any change in the address bar at all in the peripheral vision.

So yeah, web apps that don't try to force the user to enable notifications are now punished for good behavior again.

EDIT: So it's not so stupid, see below.
I'll forever be baffled at people treating one of the biggest semiconductor companies in the world which has historically released products which easily outlast the rest of the components in the system as some fly-by-night alternative to Intel.

This sentiment also caused my family to get a Pentium4 over the superior Athlon64 years back and I'm still salty.
> But actually, defined benefit schemes are less risky and far more appropriate for the average dummy than defined contribution schemes.

Well, yeah because defined benefit actually makes some kind of commitment on what you're going to get, whereas defined contribution just tells you what you'll give, right?

I mean it's all in the name. DC is just "give us yer money and sure we'll do our best for you, as long as our fees are paid"....

> It's not about it being the same length, but the length of the data being part of the hashed data

As I tried to point out, the length is already part of what the SHA-1 function hashes:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3174#section-4

As a summary, a "1" followed by m "0"s followed by a 64-
bit integer are appended to the end of the message to produce a
padded message of length 512 * n. The 64-bit integer is the length
of the original message. The padded message is then processed by the
SHA-1 as n 512-bit blocks.

Now, storing the length as a prefix does give you advantages: you can't mount a length extension attack, which limits your ability to exploit one shattered attack, e.g. the pdfs released by google, for different files/types of files. But it doesn't make mounting a novel shattered attack "much harder" as Linus claims.
> I see no reason git needs to be changed in order to cater to people who refuse to read basic documentation or learn from their mistakes.

In my opinion, solving problems and making improvements involves reducing complexity, not defending it. Many people, including myself, have read the Git docs and learnt about the underlying data structures etc etc and still we can make the claim that it could be better, in numerous ways.

Calling everyone feckless won't invalidate that.
There's an example of the output and a discussion of this elsewhere in this thread. TL;DR: not as much as it could be, yet. This is a work in progress.
Don't forget the 64-bit unix time epoch, that'll be a big one. 584 billion years from now, 2^64 seconds will roll over and just cause all sorts of mess.
