I think it's more about how you handle stress.

Some people handle stress in positive ways - for example, I find I work much better under some degree of stress (e.g. deadlines) - without stress, I would just procrastinate indefinitely. Under emotional stress, I typically go hard in the gym.

Other people seem to breakdown under stress though, and I can't imagine that's healthy.

I theorize that a big component of many people's relaxing on vacation is because they have fewer objects to tend to and care about. It's temporal minimalism.

IMO "Things that will change your life for $100 on amazon" lists are dumb and most people's lives would be improved by the opposite - renting a dumpster!
It doesn't matter. "White male" is a slur now.
I'd interpret it to stop using the pthreads model of the parallel coding, in general. Because the pthreads model exists and is used in many programming languages.

But stopping to use C is a good start (for whoever has the choice)!
I think you're missing the problem for the consumer.

If I bought that game, because it means I could play multiplayer with my friends and now they are removing that feature <3 months after I bought the game, then I would not be a happy camper.

I don't think anyone truly expects a game's multiplayer should last forever, but it should last while the game is still popular and releasing updates.
This is far less interesting than either a demo or some code we could play with! (But still very interesting)

Hershey's chocolate is pretty bad, and American cheese is barely cheese. But both have functional properties that make them desirable for some applications: it's difficult to make a truly good cheeseburger without American cheese because of its melting properties, for instance. That's also why people use it in grilled cheeses, although it's less essential there (swiss melts just fine on a sandwich, for instance), and you should at the very least probably add some shredded cheddar or something to your American in a grilled cheese.

You can add American's functional properties to almost any cheese with sodium citrate powder (we make and slice up baking sheets worth of "Americanized" aged cheddars, gruyere, and even blue).

I would not confuse these useful properties with goodness. Grapeseed oil is also extremely useful. But California olive oil is a better oil. American cheese is like the grapeseed of cheese.

Yeah, that is completely understandable. I was just curious why they wouldn't invest in developing for a different but more cross-platform library so that maintaining Rocket League on platforms such as the Switch and Playstation 4 (as well as the future consoles from both manufacturers) would be easier. They have stated no plans to remove support from those consoles, and I don't imagine they are much easier to maintain compatibility with than macOS or Linux.
If immutability is a language level guarantee and not just a convention, you can use structure sharing to address this problem pretty effectively. Just about any functional language with immutable datastructures does it.

> Honestly, I think being "tech savvy" is a liability. Someone who doesn't think they're tech savvy knows they don't know. It takes a certain level of expertise to talk yourself into something extremely dumb. They might not fall for this particular pitch deck (or the one I overheard), but there are scams for every skill level. And the more confident you are in your understanding, the larger the "investment" you will being willing to make.

Blockchain's probably the prime example of that. Understand a potential real world use case and you can probably identify the extent to which mutability of records loses value, and pay someone to audit the code if the real problem is that centralisation is impractical and stakeholders can benefit from manipulating the records without having any incentive to modify the physical product. If your fundamental understanding of a business model convinces you the real business problem is mutability of records, you can hire someone skilled to evaluate whether the codebase is likely to fix that. More difficult if your starting point is that the code and team certainly deliver on promises and the only problem that needs due diligence is everything else about why people would ever use it.

On the other hand, outside the VC world there are a lot of people in corporates who broadly understand use cases but don't have an in-depth knowledge of the tech whose job depends on saying yes to enough innovation initiatives
A lot of this matches what I have read, although a lot of the nutrients are available from non-animal sources. You can find vegan supplements with taurine, creatine, carnitine, choline, B12, and most other "carninutrients."

But, alas, almost no vegans seriously pursue this type of thing, and ensuring kids are given these substances would be even harder.

Although, I personally would love if some organization took this cause seriously. I imagine the Soylent company could and should be doing this type of thing, but my understanding is that their current formulations do not include carninutrients.

However, infant formulas are usually quite good on this. Especially the top end ones. They include taurine, carnitine, choline, and other stuff like nucleotides, lactoferrin, MFGM, and special prebiotics.
Developers are responsible for fair benchmarks.
I find Go's approach to be in the Goldilocks zone. Its not intrusive enough to slow me down (or guarantee correctness for that matter...) but its enough that I no longer need to save the multi-threading something I know needs to be multi-threaded for a second pass and very rarely have multi-threading issues or trouble debugging.

That being said, developers often have a bit of learning to get there, but that can greatly be accelerated by good team/mentor code review and discussion.
Err, free software does not mean "zero dollars."

They're not exploiting the model to charge money for it.

I know Octopus Deploy uses proprietary code.

But if you're going to complain about the model, at least know what the model is. It's not about the amount of money you must pay to obtain a copy.
"For smaller devices, the Yocto project is popular. While it's good for building custom Linux installations, it has downsides for delivering applications. It's hard to understand, can take hours to compile, and solves only a portion of the problems present in device management."

This hits home. I work at a company that builds sensor systems. We started using Yocto before my time in the company but we lived the above sentence for the last couple years before migrating to Ubuntu. We also happen to be scoping out a configuration management tool for this year. I will definitely be checking out Deviceplane in the coming days.

I used thunderbird for years, gave up, and then tried it again a couple years ago. I think the UI/UX is really bad and was the reason I had forgotten why I left, and it was the reason I gave up the second time.

I unfortunately can't remember my complaints to make them more specific for a lively discussion, but I guess I am an anecdotal counter-point for thinking the UX was actually not a success.
> secure local* depot where I can pick it up.

This was such a terrible experience the 2 times in my life that I've been forced to do it, that I still remember both of them vividly almost 15 years later. You can be sure I'll never do that again regardless of the purchase or price. There is nothing for sale anywhere on this earth that would be worth it.

> If they decide to leave it outside my door and it gets stolen, I fully expect (and will get) another one delivered at no cost to me, other than the time penalty.

That's exactly what happened the one and only time I've had a package stolen from my porch. It was an external hard drive worth around $100. Amazon sent me a new one immediately. I even tried getting the serial number out of them (at the request of the police) and they were like "haha, no. Here's free one day shipping on your replacement, and we consider this matter closed."
> That depends how you define "work".

I don't disagree with what you've said, I just wanted to chime in that in the context of the conversation to this point the definition is something in the ballpark of "are available cross-platform without jumping through hoops".
I’m not sure which country you’re in, but I would argue a significant part of our socioeconomic structure is aimed at that, and has been since whenever schooling became mandatory.

It’s not perfect, and I don’t think “fix poverty” is necessarily main reason for the plans, but the effect has been to reduce it greatly compared to bygone times.

Sorry, but this is an anecdata.

Down there, 2/3 of this hackersnews discussion (if you are patient to get there) you can see questions about production deployment of btrfs, with some VERY interesting answers of BIG deployments of btrfs. Read success confirmed with data.
My takeaway from reading whole discussion:

* lot of people (individuals) praise of btrfs

* lot of people (ind.) tell about problems

* quite nice features/btrfs usage patterns, not matched even by zfs mentioned

* still for VM/DB you shall consider different approach (thin LVM + xfs or ext4) and slave machine WITH btrfs and snapshots on it

* quite many problems/deficienses of ZFS mentioned (apart fomr typical license/kernel inclusion)

* lot of new features on the way in recent kernels for btrfs

* btrfs is not dead

p.s. worth to comment that kernel 5.6 just received another huge new features batch for btrfs (async discard!)
Explain to me how sterilizing someone would reduce poverty? The children of said sterilized person is still living in abysmal conditions and has minute chance of climbing out of it. Do we continue to sterilize or do we educated and push for better social programs for these people?

This also doesn't help the population decline we are facing and so it is complete nonsense.
How early do you go to bed? If I woke up 1.5 hours before I need to (6:50 AM, to get kids ready for school), that would mean I'd be getting up at 5:20. Do you seriously start heading to bed at 8:30pm? That doesn't seem realistic to me at all.

I feel like reason you can move is because you haven't put all your eggs in their walled garden, not that they don't have one. I know people who either won't or have regretted switching from an iPhone because they have trouble talking to their friend who only use iMessage. I think Apple is only increasing their walled garden into more areas by expanding into music streaming, TV, etc. You can still use their hardware and OS without fully buying into their walled garden though and maintain more freedom, as you seem to do!

edit: I should mention that while I don't like their walled gardens in general, I don't mind them for other people except iMessage. iMessage makes me fairly angry because they're using & dividing people's social connections for profit.

The article has several paragraphs on the synagogues and how they operate today. Jews were wearing skullcaps in the streets and there were apparently several operating synagogues.

The article also mentioned that the buildings are unadorned from the outside, and that the website for the synagogue he attended had text on it condemning the Israeli government for the 2008 Gaza atrocities, so it's not completely unencumbered.

Definitely sounds like Google employees chatting anonymously with each other via some service for training the AI. Been reading a few and many conversations have pointers that make it seem they are IT professionals but from different areas in some global environment. Sounds like a internal Google experiment.

Maybe the author considers "IO bound" to include "Uses IO inefficiently". If a program uses unbuffered IO one character at a time, it does spend almost all its runtime waiting on IO syscalls.
Hello bithavoc,
I happen to be currently working on that area of CockroachDB and I would like to help.

To start with, any scenario that you find where a secure deployment without an Enterprise license makes you unable to operate your apps using the core features, would be a serious bug on our side and we'd give it high priority. There is no intent to do bait-and-switch here.

If I read between your lines I can see the following:

- you need an admin user to create databases;

- the only admin user is root;

- it appears that you cannot log in with root on a secure cluster (TLS enabled). Is that understanding correct?

I think I understand the following: your SQL client is attempting to connect using TLS but without presenting the root client cert to the server. The root client cert is a cert that you can generate using the cluster's CA key (using the `cockroach cert` command). Without a valid client cert, the connection is refused.

You may think this seems to work for other users than root. This is because for other users, when cert validation fails, the server allows the client to use a password instead. This choice to use a password is not available for the root user up to and including 19.2.

Here is your way forward:

- either you configure your SQL client that creates database to present the root client cert to the server. This will enable you to use the root account on a secure server and create databases (and other users, and then assign privileges to these users over the new database).

- or, you wait until crdb 20.1, where it will be possible to configure a password for the root user and let root clients use password authentication instead of presenting client TLS certs.

Does this help?

If it doesn't please create an issue on github and describe your situation in more details and cc me (@knz). Thank you
Or one could simply try very hard not to mutate any state that is available to another process and corral all such code that requires doing so (which most of the time ends up being only a small portion of the code; the rest can be designed functionally, just passing values in and back out with no other side-effects) into a thin I/O layer, which is (I believe) the Hexagonal Architecture and is explained quite well by Gary Bernhardt here: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries
There's a lot more lower-hanging fruit to be picked before you have to ditch actors with message inboxes for classic multithreading in order to gain some more oomph. And it has been my experience so far that the overhead of the other parallel coding techniques is peanuts compared to the I/O bottlenecks of the 99% of the apps out there.

I know there exist a group of programmers that really don't have a choice and have to use `pthreads`. But if you do have the choice then IMO sticking to multithreading programming is very backwards and invites a lot of suffering in your future (or that of your future colleagues).

Just use actors with message inboxes. Measure, profile, tweak. If you exhausted all other possibilities and you absolutely positively can't upgrade your server ever then sure, ditch actors and write multithreading code.
Improving chatbots today is like putting makeup on a face that doesn't exist. It's all just a game to see how long the user can go before realizing that they are being duped.
Note how nothing at your 'source' has any evidence that MEMRI tends to mistranslate quotes or provide them out of context.

When it comes down to it, it seems the complaint is that the people Sourcewatch quotes don't like MEMRI's alleged politics, and therefore we should ignore all evidence. IMHO, an ideological echo chamber is bad for the mind.
