But I mostly disagree with that math also ;) Mostly, because that math is subject to other parameters that are not easy to know statically --otherwise, why aren't them Postgres defaults?

For example: shared_buffers is 1/4 of RAM and effective_cache_size 3/4. Well, several benchmarks have already pointed out that 1/4 is not necessarily a good number, and you need to benchmark your own workload. Similarly, effective_cache_size is slightly over dimensioned for dedicated servers and definitely too big for shared servers.

Even more clearly, the max_connections recommendation may even become a significant problem for your database. You should almost always have a connection pooler in front of Postgres and have max_connections a small multiple of your cores. PgTune's recommendation is probably an order of magnitude higher than usual good values, which may lead to much worse performance.

Another example: min_wal_size should be always a higher value than what is recommended if you have enough disk, and max_wal_size should definitely be something like significantly higher than what is recommended.
That one showed up as a pop-up box for me and asked me if I wanted to turn on suggestions. I don't think they changed that.
This, and especially the first point, is key to good reviews. It is also why good code reviews take time - sometimes (almost) as long as actually writing the code.

Except my friend's gf could never really see when messages were using data or SMS. And my friend put a stop to the experiment because the linux client was leaking RAM like a dam and we both had sync problems between the phone and the desktop client (we are both huge telegram users for the smooth experience when connecting to your account and for syncing. We both despise the privacy risks though).
By definition, one can always know their own naturally-produced neural net is self aware (cogito, ergo sum). The open question for solipsists is whether, should someone report to you their neural net is also self-aware, you should believe them.

The python leadership commitee has always been explicitly anti "functional programming". They only allow a few functional things that serve Python's overall goal of making basic problems simple to solve.
Yep. Was trying to point out that there are so many random things (including those that are mind-blowing wrt abilities at a given early age) happening with kids, only few are actually to be used as reasoning or any sort of long-term predictions.

Also, completely side note: you tend to give more weight to random things happening with first kid than with the next ones. Raising more than one atm.

Did not intend to mock, though could keep from adding some color.
We were giving imperative programs formal semantics well before we started using monads. See Pneulli's "The Temporal Logic of Programs" (http://dimap.ufrn.br/~richard/pubs/dim0436/papers/pnueli_tem...) and Hoare's "An Axiomatic Basis for Computer Programming" (http://extras.springer.com/2002/978-3-642-63970-8/DVD3/rom/p...).

Monads are just one of many ways of formalizing notions of state. All of them have their tradeoffs. For example, in temporal logic it's much more obvious that "state does not compose" due to the frame problem.
Free Software Foundation Asks Microsoft to Open Source Windows 7
There's another option I don't see used often for things like this and that's infinite standby.

Batteries self-discharge. If you have a power source that is greater than the self-discharge rate of a battery, then standby time can exceed the useful life of the device. That's a different problem, but it's also a useful one, and has a much bigger power budget than devices powered solely by the new power source.

I could see wide applications for emergency equipment, for instance.

Please don't say "referntial transparency" because it doesn't mean what some Haskellers think it does. It means the following: an expression e is referentially transparent if any sub-term in it can be replaced with any other having the same reference (aka denotation) without changing e's reference. This is true for Java, and most programming languages, really, but, incidentally, not true for Template Haskell (or any language with macros). Referential opacity or opaqueness increases the expressiveness of the language, which is why Lisp, which is not transparent because of macros, is more expressive than the lambda calculus (which is), and why modal logic is so expressive. It's an interesting property, but it's not what pure-FP fans think it means. What they mean is that the language is referentially transparent (like most language) and a term's reference (denotation) is an object value in the language -- this is not true in imperative language where terms refer to something called "predicate transformers". This quality is also called "value semantics" which is pretty much a synonym for "pure functional." In other words, some FP fans have redefined referential transparency to mean pure functional, and then use "referential transparency" incorrectly as some more general thing, when they actually just mean "pure functional."

And yes, monads are a way to express some non-deterministic computations in lambda-calculus-based languages, as are linear types.

> Haskell's greatest success

Success in what sense? In expressing what amounts to side-effects in a language based on a lambda calculus as monads? Sure.
I think it's pretty clear from my posts that I'm not accepting this dichotomy - the "S" is science. Most sciences and math are firmly in the realm of liberal arts. I believe the argument is over how much T & E there needs to be in school and college education.

AWS Route53 user chiming in here. I have IAM accounts and soft-token 2FA, and I like how minimal the R53 panel is.

Hm. Well, I view the current extradition process as evidence the UK isn’t going to try very hard to stop him going to the USA: If the UK authorities did have that intent, I would’ve expected them to inform Sweden about the end of Assange’s asylum and given them a chance to reopen their case before the USA got to start a new one, but the complainants were reportedly surprised by the events.

Then again, I left the UK because I no longer trust the UK government to do good, so naturally I must be unusual in my belief about the UK…

>This is a bit harsh and naive.

I would call it more fatalistic than naive. Even if we completely ignore cases related to technology we will find an overwhelming number of instances of children being harmed by neglectful parenting. Even if we ignored neglect and focused on active forms of child abuse, the numbers are horrendous.

This is not a problem caused by technology nor one that can be fixed by limits placed on technology. I fear too strong a focus on specific issues like kids having access to an unfiltered google when the harms of neglectful parents are far greater, and when we have decided that parental freedoms are worth the trade off.
The other half isn't random, it's mostly "non-shared environment", in other words the environment outside the home, whether that be school or play with friends or whatever.

My source for this is the book The Nurture Assumption by Judith Rich Harris. IIRC she concludes the most likely reality is that personality is shaped 50% by genetics, 45% by non-shared environment and 5% shared environment (i.e. parenting). Big caveat to all this: this is personality as in how one relates to the outside world, not how one relates to their parents, which is indeed strongly determined by parenting and one of the reasons what so many studies that studied the link between parenting and kids' personality characteristics (almost invariably measured in the presence of mommy or daddy) found such a link.
Wasn't trying to make a negative comment (though could help adding a bit extra color). I know the excitement and wanting to read too much from random things happening with kids at early age. Especially if it's your first kid ;)
Interesting. Actually most of the dependencies come from the embedded presentation on speakerdeck. Something to consider.

Amazon (AWS) is where the site is hosted (S3 + CloudFront, mostly) so that's understandable.
Yeah, CloudFlare is one that offers it, but it seems firmly in "Request Quote/Call Sales" territory for pricing. It dates from when they first intro'd their original registrar offering [1] a few years ago, and they said right out:

>"CloudFlare Registrar is not designed for the masses. There are plenty of great mass-market registrars. However, if you’re an organization where losing your domains would be a front-page story, then CloudFlare Registrar is for you."

Of course, they later did introduce a mass market offering as well, but not with that set of features! :)

You say that as though people aren't susceptible to influence form malicious actors spouting propaganda. It's pretty clear that the current state of affairs allows a greater degree of emotional and psychological manipulation than has been possible in the past. That rather undercuts your idea that rational people can bring their critical thinking skills to bear on it and cut through it. It's simply not how human psychology works.

All of which is somewhat besides the point and off topic from this particular issue: When Amazon Video started out, it was not an open forum-- it was not YouTube. Part of its appeal was that it was a somewhat curated selection of content. Watering that down with content that takes more time & mental effort to sift through the crap isn't really a great experience or what drew people to the platform. Believing Amazon shouldn't do that is hardly a blow against free speech or something.

I also fail to see how curated content somehow goes against the values of the constitution. Every news paper, book publisher, TV channel or other media outlet, ever, has exerted editorial discretion over the content they choose to make available. Believing that model to be superior to a "fire hose" approach is not inherently anti-constitutional.
You know, that is some talented truth there, Mr. Mattocks!

You have to understand that "Lowest deaths per terawatt-hour" is not the sole stat to look at to determine something's danger.

I think the flat amount of direct and indirect death, as well as considering the amount of people who's quality of life has diminished, but not enough to kill them.

Other energy industries have these problems too, so I have no idea how they actually compare.
Looking back on historical GHC releases, the earliest one available on the web page is version 0.29, released in July 1995, and it already has the trace function. I would guess has been there for a long time.
That etymology for 'Britain' doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere else—the link in the post you've linked to hasn't worked since 2003 and doesn't cite its source either. Seems the name derives from Brythonic (British Celtic) and meant "the painted ones" or "the tattooed folk" rather than a reference to tin. The etymological path it took was (roughly): Brythonic -> Ancient Greek (by way of the Greek explorer Pytheas) -> Latin -> Old English/Middle English/Old French -> Modern English [0][1]

I'm not sure what you mean by "rational", but certainly there are consistent, "systematic" ethical theories that one could arrive at from first-principles. Think Kantianism, Utilitarianism, Egoism, etc. If you were to ask philosophers whether their pet theory of ethics was rational, I suspect many would answer yes. Any theory of ethics that subscribes to ethical naturalism would answer that with a definite yes.

If you are going to have a contractarian position on morality and you don't want to end up thinking that morality is nothing but Machiavellianism, I suggest you read some Rousseau or Rawls (basically anyone who isn't Hobbes).
I agree and even then I think it misses some major goals of code reviews. For example, encouraging thinking about good coding style (as opposed to just "standards"), making use of the language's syntax sugar where it makes things more readable, and the underlying performance.

To give a pretty trivial example of syntax sugar, if someone has written in C#:

var maxHeight = buildings.Select(b => b.Height).Max();

then I might point out that you can shorten it to

var maxHeight = buildings.Max(b => b.Height);

whilst keeping it just as readable. Well, more readable because you need to read less characters to easily understand it. It seems pretty nitpicky but it's the kind of thing I'm delighted to be shown myself.

"Haskell's trace function is a refreshing desert in the oasis of referential transparency." --Audrey Tang
What I'm struck with reading this post, and the comments, is that all we know is how our own brain works. None of us can share the thoughts and experiences of someone else.

As far as I know, my brain is "normal" (whatever that means.) But I still think I have plenty of problems concentrating, forget what I'm doing in the instant, get hyperfocused on some topic and get very aggravated if I'm interrupted, etc. How do we know whether my problems concentrating are worse than someone else's? Maybe everyone's brain has the same innate issues but some people have just happened to develop coping strategies that work better for them?

It just seems really difficult to have a rational discussion about something where literally no one has a shared experience with anyone else.

There's communication cables laid across the sea. There's no examples I know of High Voltage transmission with enough power to operate Europe. It's not only the instability of Sahara, but laying a cable across the sea for the transmission of enough energy to power Europe would require defense of the cables. A submarine could otherwise attack the grid and take Europe offline. This is unpractical on a lot of levels and hand-waving this as a reasonable solution is silly.
Im continually amazed at the way people think "write offs" work.

If a company spends X dollars on something, they don't pay X dollars less in taxes. They pay X dollars * their marginal tax rate less in taxes.

Now they may be able to apply for grants or other types of funding, but there is simply no way to "write things off" and then get them for free.
Singapore Prime Minister defends fake news law amid criticism
They weren't in use that entire time though and I'm guessing they were kept somewhat climate controlled too which helps a ton unlike other vintage electronics that get shoved in attics/garages and exposed to wide temperature ranges year after year. First thing I do when I buy a new vintage computer or computer accessory (I'm an 8-bit Atari guy) is change the caps (period) and then remove anything socketed and clean the leads.

You actually worked on restoring them? Do public images of the innards exist anywhere from that? I'd love to see that, the innards of old electronics and machines are just so beautiful in their simplicity. You can look at them and actually understand what is going on.

Edit: found your blog, getting lost in the images.

I'm also a huge fan of JetBrains products and how they work together. It's at the point where I'm thinking of slogans for them, like 'At JetBrains, the E in IDE stands for experience'... or maybe 'ecosystem' (needs work). Several times I've realized I could use a tool for X, and found it's already a feature they've already created.

One more great thing to add to the pile:

- Teamcity, the only CI/CD software doing actual 'configuration as code' using kotlin.
Others (that I know of: jenkins, github action, gitlab) use an arcane-DSL-backed yaml file and call that 'code'. I'm not sure why copy-pasting plaintext files that throw away most the benefits of using code and IDE's have taken the software world by storm. They've become the standard API, or even UI in some cases, and it's just slow/unabstractable/non-extensible. I'm glad JetBrains has not jumped on that bandwagon and continue to focus on making a streamlined end-to-end dev experience and cater to the coders within.
Some alternatives to FB and WhatsApp exist - I’ve been working on an alternative social network called Thread (https://get.thread-app.com). Check it out!
