Stock appreciation isn't really "compensation". When Bezos for example gets billions of dollars richer, that's an artificial number from multiplying a NASDAQ price by his holdings - there's no actual flow of billions of dollars which could be redirected to employee salaries. The only way for employees to get a piece of the pie would be to give them stock. And most large companies do try to give their employees stock; even Walmart part-timers have an ESPP.
I haven't seen this particular issue but I've seen very similar bugs in my own work where GPU and CPU are not properly sync'd when using glyph or small image cache textures.

E.g. gpu has a frame pending, CPU updates glyph cache, GPU renders pending frame using incorrect cache data.
You can still do a redis or memcached, or even an rdbms table for that matter on revoked tokens... and do a lookup for critical systems... You don't need to do that on EVERY request though. It's really not less difficult than a session server/service/database, and more likely to scale better.

> The 33-year-old single mother and third-year anthropology graduate student says she makes around $2,200 a month after taxes as a part-time teaching assistant at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She also pays around $1,700 a month for the two-bedroom she shares with her 10-year-old son in student housing. After that, there’s little money to spare.

Spending 80% of your income on housing is just poor budgeting no matter how you look at it.

If someone decides that accepting a ~5 year position that pays close to minimum wage in one of the highest COL areas in the country is the right choice for them... then what?

Academia is kind of like the video game industry - plenty of young people with a dream who want to get in, get abused and spat out by the system. Because guess what, it gets even harder after your PhD. You’ll be paid barely more, except with even less job stability (you’re now looking for a post doc every 1-2 years, or jumping from adjunct contract to adjunct contract) and more stress and responsibility. And of course by that point the sunk cost fallacy has fully set in, you now think of yourself as an Anthropology Professor and there’s no way you’re going to go back and pick up plumbing or programming.

Ideally grad students would stop pouring in, free labor would dry up at universities, and they’ll have to raise grad student salaries to acceptable wages again. Seems unlikely given how badly people want to do anthropology PhDs, and that there’ll always be people who can afford to take a poorly paid position like that because their partner or parents are paying the bills. Maybe unions are the right call, but seems like a strong uphill battle.

I think it would be helpful if you could dive deeper why you think " Refreshing the data every five minutes in batches" is "sufficient".

From my perspective: batching is more complicated, than batching. (Batching requires you to define parameters like batch size and interval, while streaming does not for example). But may be batching tools are simpler than streaming tools, but i am not so sure.

Batching in general has also high(er) latency. That's why I usually don't prefer it unless:

That said batching has an advantage over streaming, it can ammortise a cost that you only pay once per batch process.
With streaming you would pay the cost for each items as it arrives.

Further, the mindset requirements for engineers that work with batching is different than for streaming.

Each of these items can be valid concern for batching vs streaming. However, I find it difficult to value statements like "Batching" is the default because the industry has been doing this for years by default.

I think the industry as a whole benefits when engineers in these kind of discussions repeat why certain conditions lead to a choice like batching.

My question was about whether unionization constitutes an increased incentive (and I would think that it would for the same reasons that unionization gives a collection of individuals more power than they would have as individuals); I don't think that depends on whether or not existing institutions are good or bad at preventing vital cogs, etc.

I might be wrong, but I don't think it's because of the efficacy of existing institutions.
Indeed. They can also choose to unionize.

> I think you're underestimating the harsh nature of the ocean. Few things last for a decade on the ocean without frequent maintenance, high up-front costs, or both - and often not even then.

A solar powered GPS beacon may be an exception to that rule.

Couldn't you just encase the beacon electronics and the solar panel in a hunk of clear epoxy potting [1], and then secure the thing to the deck with stainless steel screws? For an application like this, it's probably sufficient that the beacon only operate during daylight hours, so you probably don't even need a battery.

I don't imagine the electronics would cost much more than that for a PLB [2], so we're talking somewhere in the ballpark of $500. The main expense would be the receiving satellite and sending a helicopter to the ship for installation.

Democracy is efficient at getting shit done. As uncareful as this metric is defined.

But I would say even more importantly, democracy is very efficient at limiting internal bloodshed. It provides a well-defined, peaceful process for people to grab power. The power is limited, but you don't have to kill people to gain it, and in turn you don't risk getting killed yourself by the next upstart.

Where can I find a good resource to learn these patterns well for web use?

I've never gotten into any of these patterns in 20 years but can get the job done efficiently as I don't put codes all over the place but at where it's easy to find for easier debugging.

Usually average people try to put their codes into these patterns without truly understanding and their logic is also not efficient, turning codes into very unreadable state instead of just dropping the pattern and write as you please (with at least minimal separation of views and consolidate identical codes).

Have these patterns really helped you in the web?

Any mention of these things and death is pretty frightening. I've got two of the damn things in me. However, the article is baffling in the extreme. It sure appears to be written to alarm, and doesn't provide enough detail. I will definitely bring it up with the cardiologist in a few weeks and see what he says.
I think the main step forward is that it has an efficient means for calculating what views change when a new datum arrives. Which means that it could, in theory, hold a very large amount of views for relatively low overhead.

It's a surprisingly difficult problem. I wouldn't roll my own.
The possibilities do seem rather endless. This could very well be the backbone storage layer for may popular sites such as youtube or netflix, imgur etc. Decentralization eliminates a single point of failure.

> MVC does not comprise all layers of an application.

But the topic is MVC not some particular application. I think jerf's point is that it's weird to say that a service layer is an important part of working with MVC when it's not even part of the same idea. Your statement here confirms that.

One can be talking about an expansion of the idea of MVC as if it were MVC itself, but that just proves jerf's point, too, about MVC being meaningless.
I feel like anytime someone mentions "man it works in this place" someone has a specific gripe about a case where it doesn't work.

I really don't understand this mindset of a default behavior (e.g. use of cookies) is equivalent to _forcing_ something on someone. You have lots of choices around cookies because the program that stores and shares them is under your own control. Which sites you visit is under your control. Your Internet connection is under your control.

I regularly use errno, ts, and sponge; I've found them quite useful.

errno helps when you find yourself with a raw error number in a debugger, log, trace, or memory dump, or if you just want to figure out the most sensible errno code for your API to return.

"ts %.s" helps when debugging how long a program takes.

sponge solves the "read this file, process it, write the same file back out" problem.

The problem in Santa Cruz is that the city is bordered by greenbelt and the ocean. Student population when I first attended UCSC was sub(or maybe close to) 10k. It has grown to nearly 20k, counting part time, etc. In that time, the university has not built beds to keep up with enrollment. The city certainly hasn't added thousands of rooms to keep up.

UC housing apparently has to be paid through campus funds, not through what the state gives it.

When I lived there, I looked into adding an ADU. The city wanted north of 40k in fees and "improvements" like putting in a sidewalk where one didn't exist (and doesn't on the whole block).
I architected and implemented a true-realtime telemetry pipeline. The requirement was subsecond per-user aggregation and round-trip notification of thresholds exceeded. Took us a couple years, but when Halo 5 launched, we handled 2.5B events/hour without breaking a sweat (AMQP over Websockets). It's since been rolled out to multiple Microsoft 1st-party games.

The round-trip requirement was dropped before we launched, reducing the usage of the technology stack to pure telemetry gathering.

The analysts are all perfectly happy with 5-10 minute delays.

This is a reminder that without physical security, electronic security is pretty much worthless. The best encryption won't save you from rubberhose cryptanalysis where they beat you until you reveal your key. Clever circumvention technologies such as VPN won't save you when they arrest your for using circumvention technologies.

These are all good things, but we in tech, oftentimes think we can program our way out of bad physical governance. We can't! We need now more than ever to engage with everyone to make sure that we have good physical governments.

There's a middle ground where part of the bank wants to do things right, and the other half wants customers happy now.

As a pure hypothetical situation, if the old system was terrible and, say, stored things in plaintext and did case-insensitive password lookups, then the new system needs to emulate that if they don't want to piss off existing customers by making their old password suddenly not work. The security side is going say "just have customers make new passwords", the business side will say "we won't budge, this has to be seamless", and the developers will settle with the crappy middleground of uppercasing everything before hashing to emulate the old system. Maybe they even maintain naive hope of improving the system down the road and convincing the next set of execs that its ok to revoke everyones password to allow them to better the system.

About 5 years ago, I asked a politician about housing. The assemblyman told me that housing is largely controlled at the local level and driven by local city politics. He explained that voters tend to be home owners and property owners. The conundrum then is how to make housing affordable without impacting long term investment of majority of voters. A politician or city council which actually moved the needle on housing would be putting themselves at risk of losing many votes, and thus their political careers.
