Afraid with good reason. I think it's more likely that it would be seen as disrespectful to managment, product, bizdev, etc. who asked for it. That it's challenging their judgement.
wondering if this could pave the road for treating internet service as a utility too
it makes a huge difference.

e.g. some physical products will be disposed of when they have degraded to the extent that it does not make economic sense to repair them, or for someone else buy and reuse/repair them, given the costs of doing so compared to e.g. just buying a comparable new item or a comparable used item in better condition. so they cost a lot to buy in the first place, but now they roughly zero value, or perhaps a very low value as scrap.

That said, some other perfectly good stuff (with relatively high re-use value or scrap value) will be thrown away.

Why do you want to estimate this number? If you have a particular use in mind, it might be possible to come up with a more relevant and useful statistic.

Definitely feels like bandaid, over a more robust solution like sharding their main database by repository. Or splitting off some of their tables to another database. Their load of "millions of requests per hour", doesn't sound particularly high either.

At some point their primary is going to get overloaded again by the writes. And they'll have added all of this machinery for nothing. They've also made the replicas an essential part of their stack. Whereas their previous stack could probably tolerate a certain amount of replicas going down or replica lag. They now have a system that will grow and be dependent on all the replicas being available. Until a heavy write load or heavy table alter, causes the replicas to become lagged at which point a higher percentage of traffic will go to the master and potentially cause downtime.
It only occurred to me after reading this that with chicken pox, at least where I grew up we used to just "Get infected and done with".

There's plenty cash-only doctors and clinics out there. There's also companies that handle healthcare for their employees via personal accounts (they put more cash in your account each year, and you spend or don't as you see fit). People on such plans do a lot more shopping around.

And as the other poster said, you always have the right to refuse treatment, up to your death if you like (unless it is some kind of involuntary commitment where you are put there because you are supposedly dangerous). Many terminally ill people choose to go this way.
I just went through this as well. And I discovered that GitHub can import private bitbucket mercurial projects. That made it super easy.
I agree with the parent poster. I've spent 6+ years at FB and the whole time I've just worked on what I thought was important. No one was ever assigned a project to me. The process normally involves managers and PMs highlighting problems and potential solutions and then developers picking projects that interest them. It sounds crazy but it is a controlled chaos. We incent people to work on non-sexy work by aligning with performance reviews. So everyone is required to show some better engineering impact (like writing documentation, unit or integration tests, cleaning up deprecated code etc).

It's the longest I've stayed at a company (worked a decade at startups and web dev companies) because of the freedom to constantly work on things that are interesting. For example I've changed the type of developer I am twice since joining.

So if it's worth a look if that's a style that works for you.

But they already are. The crazy screamer on the street corner causes an actual harm to you. To avoid 8chan is trivial; just don't go there.

That people get radicalized going there seems like a poor argument. If I understand you correctly, the principle is the following:

1. Someone holds acceptable views.

2. They visit 8chan.

3. They now hold abhorrent views.

Why should 8chan be blamed for this, or rather, what did they do wrong here? Don't you agree that people have the right to hold opinions without interference, and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers?
Jailbreak for iOS 13.3 (A12-A13)
This is wrong. The only way to get 0.15 is by dividing dead over total cases - which is not the correct math since most people infected are still ongoing.

You have to divide dead over dead+recovered, and outside of China those numbers are still too small to get a reliable number.

In China it is 2% outside Wuhan, but inside Wuhan it is over 4% since the medical system has broken down.
>What is hate speech?

Absolutely anything that neoliberal Silicon Valley oligarchs and their fringe far-left San Francisco "social justice" activists disagree with.

Those two groups have, quite seriously, suggested that the nearly half of the country that voted for Donald Trump are "Nazis" controlled by "Putin's Russian propagand bots."

Considering how violent they are (see their allies in Antifa and the California and Chicago ethnic activists who constantly physically attacked white Trump supporters during the campaign) and how once mainstream media outlets like the New York Times openly call for ethnic genocide of unfavored groups, the fact these people are creating the totalitarian technocracy of the future is absolutely terrifying.

It's impossible to even have a conversation with these people as they are absolutely convinced of their moral self-righteousness, to the point it would make a Cotton Mather blush.

> For me PHP sits in the middle as a poor language, and still slow compared to any compiled languages.

After switching jobs and ending up in a PHP-based company, I can say that such thing is not entirely true.

Poor language?

Not really, it does a lot of stuff and solves a lot of problems.

Still slow?

Kinda true but not really: php 7.x saw a huge improvements and rumors have it that php 8.x will be getting a JIT-compiler.

Also, from my own observation, most of php slowness derives from the fact that the usual approach to deploying a php web application means using php fpm, that starts a whole new php interpreter for each request.

This in turn derives from the fact that php was born to create "dynamic websites" as in websites that were mostly static but with some occasional dynamic page.

IMHO some framework (Laravel? Symfony? some new player?) should try and start a single php process to handle request and persist between a request and the next one.

Starting a new php process is SUPER expensive: there's the whole fork+exe overhead, I/O to load data from disk, parsing and byte-compiling. every single time. even with opcache, you might skip some of the last steps, but you'll have to re-load cache in the next execution.
That's how me and my mates started off in the UK.

We three were working for a firm in the UK in various capacities in 1999. The firm decided to FM their IT function to Synstar which became part of HP(E). We formed a company and resold ourselves back through Synstar (they took 17%, we were still cheap and still made a living)

Nowadays, 20 years later, we are still going. We will never set the world on fire and that is the way I like it. We turn over £1.5M at the moment and have 20 employees, we grow gradually as needed. I sleep very well at night.

I'll quite happily stick two fingers up at any fantastically wealthy fuckwit who managed to make themselves wealthy beyond compare who might describe my little company as an underachiever (and have done so.)

I'm not advocating that our approach is the best. It works for us. It wont put you on the cover of a magazine. Be absolutely certain that you are the dog's nadgers when you think you are the dog's nadgers. If you are not the dog's then be prepared for disappointment and worse.
I always wipe down my mac and a clean reinstall... Never had any issue with Catalina and with previous releases. macOS is great... Honestly when do you upgrade your Win or other type of machine... clean install, that's the key. ;)
I think this is a balanced appraisal of the situation.

Historically, US free speech has been "crazy rant" = okay, "fire!" (in a crowded room) = not okay.

And that worked, when distribution was relatively centralized with respect to network size.

However, now I think we have a third category, somewhere between the previous two: "fire!" (on a widely- and easily-disseminated medium).

The sheer scale of social networks makes the effect fundamentally unlike prior scenarios.

'SPARK-minus-Ada' would be 'constraint programming' [0]. I agree with Wikipedia's taxonomy: constraint programming isn't functional programming. In functional programming, we can't just describe the problem, we still have to implement an algorithm. Not so with constraint programming. That's a bright line between the two.

I don't agree that functional programming is uniquely difficult to define. Again, I agree with Wikipedia, which offers a definition that seems fine: [Functional programming] treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. [1]

It's true that we can disagree on whether immutability, or function composition, should be considered the true crux of functional programming. This isn't unique to FP though. In the object-oriented world, some consider inheritance to be the heart of OOP, and some consider dynamic-dispatch to be what really counts. [3]

> SPARK-minus-Ada is no longer a programming language

I think I agree, but I think we're in a minority (we seem to disagree with Wikipedia here). If you're working at a level of abstraction so high that you no longer think about algorithms, you aren't really 'programming'.

'Constraint programming'... isn't. The 'programmer' isn't really programming, they're writing a formal problem-description.

Formal specification languages like B-Method [4] aren't considered programming languages, for the same reason.

> Hunger is certainly a human universal.

Superficially, like breathing, having a heart beat, etc. Saying hunger is a human universal isn't interesting because it is well understood to be true. Also, it's instinctual/physiological/etc rather than behavioral or intellectual.

> People exhibit typical behavior patterns when they are hungry.

Yes, that's why cooking is on the list.

> So I think this wants to be a list of human universals over other animals.

Then why would you claim "It's a weird mix of human universals and animal universals."
Why would you claim "but "males more aggressive" and "females do more direct childcare" are true for most animals." If what you say were true, the list wouldn't contain it?

> While not all animals specialize child rearing and aggression, most mammals and all primates do.

So not animal universal?

> So it’s still unclear to me what this is a list of.

Human universals. The list is a list of shared human traits. Just because some of those traits happen to be something other animals share doesn't change the fact that it is also shared amongst humans across societies and cultures. Like weaning and crying.
1. No, there should not. People should have the freedom to congregate and to discuss. If people are hurt by this, too bad. There is no solution.

3. Facebook and Google are natural monopolies, and they should be regulated like telecom carriers.

Having been on the internet since a young age, I've always found it strange the internet is, well, so "srs business" these days. The internet has never, and as you say, will never be a harmonious place where everyone will be nice to each other. We can't even achieve this in physical spaces which can actually enforce these kinds of rules!

Maybe I'm lucky, but I find it really easy to just disasociate with online comments. Whenever I read something hurtful or mean directed to me on the internet, I can very easily just shrug it off as "some internet person" and move on, although admittedly I've never been target harassed like some people have, which I'm sure is distressing. I think part of this was growing up I was always told: "Don't use your real name online! Don't give out your personal info!", and so for me, being online was always about being someone else, a different persona if you will. These days that seems completely out of the window, everyone uses their real names everywhere, uploads actual pictures of themselves and generally their real life seems directly integrated into their online life, which is just unthinkable for me. This probably makes online abuse just that much more personal for them?

I suppose another big change of course is that all the small forums that used to make up the internet are now exceedingly being consolidated into just one or two sites. Again, back when I was a child trawling the internet, if you didn't like one forum, you just hopped to another, and there were always plenty more (sidenot: remember the 'affiliate' tags on sites? I miss those. Made the internet feel more like a big group of communities, but I digress). Of course now, if someone is being harassed on twitter or facebook or something, well, they're not going to go somewhere else because a lot of the competition no longer exists anymore.

I don't really know where I'm going with this comment honestly, I'm just ranbling. What I do know is that regulating the internet is, and always has been, completely futile. So long as someone, somewhere, can spin up a forum on a VPS or on a computer at home, and people can connect to it, there's going to be sites hosting every kind of content imaginable. If they can't even bring down the Pirate Bay with the music industries power and money, they'll never stop people saying nasty things.

If you want to:

- Try out a different flavor of BSD derived from BSD 4.3 Reno before NetBSD forked to OpenBSD.

- Run a modern version of Xen as dom0 (the host). I found around the time of 6.1 that Xen on NetBSD worked better and was simpler than FreeBSD's installation. Maybe things have changed.

- Learn something new.

- Also, like FreeBSD, it supports ZFS.

It's often used by numerous small, independent ISPs for their core infrastructure when they need a little more flexibility than OpenBSD. OpenBSD is great for certain use-cases.

I tried to find something equivalent in Europe to compare, maybe Frankfurt to Berlin? Google Maps is showing that as 4h16 by ICE over 549 km, for an average speed of 128 km/h.

Ah, I took the ICE from Frankfurt to Berlin last year on a last minute ticket. A bunch of things come to mind. In no particular order:

- Tokyo - Kyoto is pretty much the premier Shinkansen line. Is Frankfurt - Berlin considered the same?

- I was pretty underwhelmed with the overall comfort on the ICE trip (slightly less than Amtrak's Acela). The Shinkansen (well, at least Tokyo - Kansai Region) is really on a whole other level.

- A last minute ICE ticket Frankfurt - Berlin was fairly expensive (> $100 if memory serves), I didn't price advance tickets. Berlin - Amsterdam tho got dramatically cheaper the further out you booked your ticket.

- Spain's Barcelona - Madrid train has regularly raised its peak speed (now at 310 kph) and if my calculations from the Wikipedia page are correct RENFE completes the 621 km trip in 2.5 hours (about 250 kph average).

- Amsterdam Centraal is perhaps one of the most obnoxious stations I've had to navigate. Every Dutch resident I've talked with has complained about the punctuality followed by complaining about how unnecessarily unintuitive the fares are.

Germany still has a fair amount of diesel service and a ton of legacy infrastructure. Spain is basically converting all of their non-standard gauge rail to a more common gauge and rolling out a ton of high speed service. I've only done relatively short trips (Madrid - Toledo) versus a variety of longer distance trips in Germany.
