The point of the hash is a marker to force yourself to come to terms with your idea.
You make it public and then act on it.

The author has a visa to stay in Japan, a country with strict rules on the disruption of public order. Spreading unfounded speculation on a pandemic might rule afoul of such rules.
But that is precisely the point. You're complaining that people don't meet some arbitrary level of expertise in their tooling, which is your personal metric.

Not everyone shares your concerns. They may well be concentrating on posture, because _that is a very important thing to concentrate on_ if one has certain issues. Or they may just not consider their job taking them 5 more minutes to perform to be a problem, and they'd rather think about what they're building in their garage, or their kids.

"Why doesn't everyone care about the things that I care about" is a very good, very difficult, question to try to answer for yourself.
I assume that by 'men' you mean 'cores'? If so, the host has two 6-core/12-thread CPU's (X5675@3.07GHz) and 128GB of memory, the internal array is populated with 8x146GB, the machine is hooked up to a NetApp DS4243 with 24x600GB (20 of which are in use, 4 cold spares). The machine has plenty of spare capacity, both CPU-wise as well as memory-wise. Storage is getting a bit short, eventually I'll start swapping drives in the DS4243 with higher-capacity versions. The whole contraption is housed in a sound-proofed cabinet with equipment in top, produce drying racks in the bottom. A forced draft fan all the way in the bottom of the rack draws in air through a large truck air filter in the top. This was the spare heat is used for a productive purpose instead of just wasted.

Resources are used as needed, when a container seems to be running close to capacity I add cores, memory or storage. In the current configuration I assigned 2 cores/1GB to mail, 2 cores/1GB to auth, 8 cores/8GB to build, 6 cores/16GB to (data)base, 8 cores/16GB to serve (which runs a host of web services), 6 cores/8GB to session (which runs remote desktop/single app sessions through X2go), 4 cores/1GB to panopticon (CCTV), 2 cores/1GB to p2p, 4 cores/4GB to comms and 4 cores/512MB to router. Total load on the machine is negligible, memory pressure is... absent (currently ~8GB in use, ~84GB buffer/cache, ~36GB free).

A machine like this one can be had for not that much ex-lease. As long as you get a G7 or newer power usage is acceptable, G6 and under are power hogs.

As a cyclist, is there an app I can install that simply has “start recording” and “stop recording” and lets me trim my off the start and end, so that I can contribute my cycling path data to OSM without having to curate it further?

The set of people who would happily upload cycling data minus their precise start/endpoint is probably 1000x larger than the set of people who enjoy map curation in their free time, but I’m not sure what solution I can present to bicyclist friends that would let them contribute.
Yep. I've enjoyed both, but I think it comes down to:

If your draw to the game is is your sense of connection with the place you're in, Satisfactory probably does a better job of that, with the pretty scenery and ability to build in 3D. Factorio's world feels very flat in comparison. I wrote a bit about that and possible ways to make it less so in https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-309

If your draw is wanting to build very large, complex factories, constantly pushing production to new limits, that is what Factorio excels at.

Most fonts will include some combinations (generally Latin-1), but not all that are encoded in Unicode. A proper shaping library such as Harfbuzz will navigate all possibilities, including composed and decomposed Unicode input, and fonts with both precomposed characters and separate glyphs for combining marks. Getting all this right would be highly challenging for a small, simple library, as it requires fine-grained knowledge of both Unicode and OpenType.

I'm working with an event sourced system and we did some mistakes in the process of the design, so some areas that didn't need event sourcing do have it.

The biggest downside has been the UI: events are not real time and these objects are just CRUD stuff, so the user wants to see that you saved what he has just written. You might not have this information yet, so you need to mitigate it, for example updating the UI through sockets (lot of additional work).

On the upside, we are acquiring a lot more insights in what business processes bring value and are meaningful, versus what I call "just configuration".

We figured out quite a few rules of thumb over time that are helpful though.

One thing I noticed over time is that on average there is no need for "created" and "updated" event, usually there is one meaningful business event that would encompass both (not always the case), e. g. "product listed", or something along those lines. This not only saves lines, but some code reacting to this event has a reduced interaction surface (less bugs and coupling), as well as being more expressive.

If you might be interested, we chat a lot about event sourcing in the Eventide Slack channel:

Given that hardware encrypting/decrypting is omnipresent, is it really that much more expensive to stream content securely? I'd like to see the numbers, but I just don't think it's actually a meaningful increase in cost. Network traffic itself tends to be the dominating factor in cost, with encryption just upping your electric bill slightly.

It seems like the benefits of transmitting your streaming securely (e.g. defeating interloping ISPs) more than exceed the costs, hence why they're doing it.

Amateur Shakespearean here. I've often wondered why these statistical approaches don't look for stylistic signatures. For instance, several plays are linked by their use of doubles (in Hamlet, this scales from "too, too solid flesh," up to the running joke on the interchangeability of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). Shakespeare also seems to be especially fond of puns on "bear" and "born" -- the "to be or not to be" monologue has three or four of these. There are also ways in which scenes repeat their designs -- 1.2 of Hamlet is similar in some ways to 3.2 of Julius Caesar, etc.
Not unique, Gocycle GX has this configuration too.
The difference, of course, is that the hotel owner likely has a car (or three) as well, and even if you don't drive for Uber you'll still need the car to get to/from your new job.

Most Uber drivers own a car before starting to drive for Uber. I haven't met a hotel operator who just had a hotel laying around before they decided to start operating it, though.
Alternative explanation - they've been deploying big new features with some regular cadence lately. New features carry risk and I think we're seeing that.
I doubt it. Distributed work forces being successful is more of a top-down way of management than anything.

Also, COVID-19 remote work is not normal remote work. Lots of other stressors and distractions. So the taste might not be a good one.
I spent most of my career in Silicon Valley, where employers routinely take the position that they own every thought their employees have, and every work they create. That position, legally enforceable or otherwise, has always rankled me.

I've recently moved to the UK to start a tech business here (https://www.hackworthltd.uk), and now that I'm on the other side of the table, I very much wanted to create a personal projects policy that was as employee-friendly as possible, while still protecting the interests of the business. I hired a UK IP lawyer to help me draft an acceptable policy, and I'm happy to share that with you, if it helps.

The intellectual property section of our employment contract is mostly standard boilerplate, as I understand it, except that it refers to our personal projects policy, which is contained in our staff handbook. I've copied the relevant sections of both and put them here:

Yeah, I've been hearing that the ZGC work is promising! What an exciting development! It's interesting that you cite observability--I've always been of the impression that observing the inner workings of the JVM is tremendously difficult and requires a high degree of expertise? I'm tremendously impressed with the JVM as a runtime (JIT and ZGC); I just hope they're (you're?) able to really make the developer experience seamless so things Just Work.

You gotta CI/CD from somewhere. Whatever that somewhere is, it can go down.

You can, of course, override your CI/CD and do a manual deploy. It's not a matter of "can." It's a matter of not fully understanding all the checks the CI/CD system does to the code, and all the build steps for prod builds, and therefore not having the confidence to deploy to prod without CI/CD holding your hand. (Which I don't at-all blame devs in bigcorps for not knowing; release management is its whole own thing, and division of labor means that at sufficient scale it doesn't make sense to learn about it.)

What I would like, but cannot set Anki to do is the following:

Max 100 cards per day (I can set the number of reviews, but seeing a card twice counts as 2 reviews)

Max 10 new cards per day (restricted by the above limit)

I’ve found this to be a good pace when manually juggling this, but the thing is, I don’t want to manually do it, especially not on a piece of software like anki.

This forum probably isn't the best place to ask for help, but I'll try:

Suicide isn't the answer. As long as you're breathing there's hope.

And yeah, 99% of everything is crap, including, unfortunately, most people. But the stuff and people that aren't crap are worth the slog, even if it doesn't seem like it now.

Also, you're going to die anyway, it's the one thing the Universe gives you for free, the moment you're born. In the meantime, you've got an entire human life to use: you can think, talk, move around a little (I'm guessing), eh? Sure, it's painful and dirty and there's always some kind of snot or ooze involved in everything, goddamnit, but it's still a crazy cool thing to be. hang in there! You're worth it!
The cutaway view of the shifter shows what look like plastic gears. Is that typical?
These lower level interventions don't make all that much of a difference. As the disease progresses your lung capacity reduces. If we put some made up numbers to it, it would look like:

0-50%: Can breathe on their own with increasing difficulty

50-55%: Can survive with O2, BiPap, CPAP, etc.

55-80%: Can survive with intubation

80%+: Dead

Each individual patient will progress to a certain point and then either recover or die. The number that will progress to the O2, BiPap, CPAP, etc. level and then recover is relatively small since it's a pretty narrow band where it is effective.

AFAIK, most places are skipping the O2, BiPap, CPAP stuff because they use pressurized air. That generates a lot of droplets/aerosols and poses a significant transmission risk. Since there's a relatively small chance that the patient will recover on those interventions they skip them and go straight to intubation.
Today marks the 3rd time I've broached the topic w/ management of getting the self-host enterprise option... Compared to (public) GitHub's problems this year so far, our AWS EC2 instances are orders of magnitude more reliable.
Sure, the internet can still go down, but my VPN into us-east-1 from Texas has been unbroken for weeks now.

At this point I'd almost prefer to pull it all in-house and manage it myself so the entire team doesn't have to lose a whole day of productivity over all this. I am so glad we moved away from using GH Actions for builds because we would be absolutely hosed right now on supporting our customers.
That custom gear box with those plastic gears gives me pause.
I'm planning to buy an ebike sometime, but I think I'd go with something like a RADCity that uses off-the-shelf components. The RadPower bikes definitely don't look as cool, but the batteries are removable, the components are readily available and the price is even lower.
> Is there any reason to believe we get can it through 60-80% of our society within 12 months?

Exponential growth. Suppose the doubling time is 10 days (it's probably less) and there is one person loose who has it (there are probably more). One year would be 35 doublings (actually, slightly more) which would be enough time for 2^35 = 34 billion people to get it. Since this is well over four times the present world population, it's not unreasonable to suppose 60-80% of the people will have had it by then.
I would love to be able to confirm this. Unfortunately since moving away from NYC and starting to work remotely I can't even get 1/3 of the salaries they're offering back there.

eBikes outsell in the Netherlands.
You've missed my point. There's no working definition of "essential". The water plant depends on regular deliveries of components. The components come from factories which in turn need more components, and those components come from factories that depend for business on orders from some "non essential" industry. So they shut down to preserve cash, and that ripples through the supply chain until suddenly water pressure is falling because treatment works can't get the supplies they need.

The economy is one giant web. You say it's a strawman argument, but that would mean I was putting words in people's mouths. The problem is that this is the opposite of what's happening: people aren't talking about these kinds of problems because they seem to perceive the economy as this optional nice-to-have thing which governments can neatly and instant partition into "needed" and "frippery which shouldn't matter if anyone is sick". That's just not how economies work.

Finally, please don't engage in childish condescension like your last statement. Describing people concerned about the economy as irresponsible is exactly the kind of behaviour I am condemning. There's nothing naive or irresponsible about the people sounding the alarm right now.
WSL2 is certainly doing fewer kernel interactions as a subsystem than WSL1, but my impression is that it is still classified as a subsystem in the way that it launches and manages its more VM-like approach.

The comparison/analogy I've heard, and I'm not sure it is apocryphal but it certainly makes sense to me, is to the Xbox One's game subsystems, which while rarely described in great detail from an NT Kernel engineering standpoint, when they are briefly described as such they are often described as subsystems and that they are "VM-like" in operation.
It's survivorship bias. Unethical companies end up growing faster because they do things ethical companies would not, and make more money for it. For example treating their full-time employees as contractors, not paying them a fair wage, skirting local laws, etc.

Every successful business isn't evil, but most of them are, because it's much easier to be successful when you're evil. To compound that, in America we worship success more than we penalize evil, so you end up with a lot more successful evil companies.
All those deployments typically rely on:

1. Scripts available in the git repository.

2. Parameters that are either stored (possibly encrypted) in a filesystem, on a parameter server (like AWS SSM key manager), or in 1Password/LastPass.

It's only a pathology if a team couldn't, as a worst case, coordinate a deployment from a single machine over the phone.
”It's because everything has to be precomputed for fast lookups”

I don’t see how that can be true. With, conservatively, 50 million destinations, that would mean 25E14 different precomputed routes (edit, that’s exactly what the paper you reference argues: An extreme way to accelerate queries is to precompute all shortest path distances d(s, t). However, this is impractical for large graphs since it requires quadratic space and preprocessing time.)

Also, the average GPS without any internet connectivity can compute routes. Surely, those don’t store those precomputed routes.

What likely is true is that it may be a bit harder to do a bicycle route planner. Slightly simplifying, a planner for cars, given two places A and B relatively far apart, ‘just’ needs to find the best route from A to any on-ramp to a highway, from any highway to B, and a route only on highways between the on- and off-ramps.

On the other hand, bike routes that have to be planned typically will be a bit shorter.

Together, that means it isn’t that hard to compute routes on the fly. https://routeplanner.fietsersbond.nl/ does exactly that, giving you options such as “shortest route”, “fewest interruptions”, “racing”, “fewer cars”, or “recreational”.
Exponential growth means fully half of the present population occurred in the last growth cycle (presuming R0 ~ 2).

With a mean time to symptoms of 14 days, depending on what Japan is doing, 10 days is an age (though it's worth noting that severe respiratory symptoms set in in week 3).
this seems to be the underlying principle of creativity, and presumably intelligence and wisdom, as well. the brain makes wacky connections all the time and creativity emerges as a random subset of those that rise into the conscious mind.
I feel like for those Sr. Eng's who can negotiate a remote position, if they don't go remote their careers and pay would go even further. It's one reason why I don't go remote, it's hard to reach staff or sr management positions typically when you do that.

It's hard to tease that out in a survey although.

It's almost as if keeping a complex service like Github online and available to millions of users is hard.
No, I think it's more part of how to run a complex system with a lot of people changing stuff at once. Having good monitoring, kill switches, staged rollout, continuous deployment, and so on are all things that contribute more making a reliable service than how microserviced it is.
> Jokes aside, the article starts with the assumption that there's an absolute "best" result, and doesn't really consider that "best" is relative to your value system.

I'm pretty sure the article is grounded in a utilitarian framework where "best" means "the thing that gets you the most of what you personally want."
I agree that laws could / should approach software.

But we've been having bugs and exploits in software since the beginning. And law has to cover an even wider field of situations.
