But sometimes VACUUM FULL is necessary for tables as fragmentation will otherwise never be resolved. A common scenario are tables that store some kind of time series events that are updated while active. Older partitions have no write activity but remain heavily fragmented unless VACUUM FULL is issued. For that you need space at least as big as the table. I don't really understand why as page rewrites could happen partly in place.

Overall I love PostgreSQL but the vacuum/MVCC system of MSSQL and Oracle is much better suited for heavy writes, PostgreSQL needs a lot of tweaking in table structures to handle those.

Another technique is to use multiple camera sources spread out over an area. The angle between the cameras is known, so differences in the images caused by diffraction and atmospheric aberrations can be computed out to some degree.
You could make your documentation generator detect if any functions are completely missing documentation. Then in addition to printing "No overview available" in the docs, it could also flag a warning -- and in Release mode, an error. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Communicating in writing is THE core skill for a systems architect, just like drawings are the core skill for construction architects.

Review, carefully, stuff written by other people on your team. Do it promptly, and avoid developing a backlog of stuff to review.

Work on writing clearly. It's like coding; you can improve your writing by reading good writers (and bad ones). Becoming a good writer takes a lifetime.

Don't use the passive voice unless you must. It almost always reflects sloppy thinking.

Always answer the question "why?" in your written work.

If you can help from a technical editor, use it. Pretty much all writers except university students have editors.

To go all Yoda on you, in a job like yours "the only way you can do enough is by doing nothing." Avoid getting bogged down if you can.

I "saved up" for The Glass Bead Game - reading about 7 Hesse books before going for his magnum opus. I was severely let down by it. It's all over the place, sloppy. I thought perhaps it was because of the loss in German-->English, but a few German friends (including a few on HN) have suggested the original isn't much better.

IMO Narcissus and Goldmund and Steppenwolf are his best.

> The "default language register" in German is typically "one register more formal" than the "default language register" in English.

Fun offtopic fact: The default register in English is actually more formal than most people realise. English had "thou" as the informal second person, and "you" as the more formal variant, but "thou" died out, leaving only the formal register. Curiously enough, Brazilian Portuguese underwent the exact same phenomenon, so they use "você" informally, whereas European Portuguese uses it as the formal second person.

> because the other kind of self-driving (user drives a short-term rental) works just as well

User drives short term rental gave me all kinds worries which I don't have driving my own car. Being responsible for checking damage when picking it up, worrying about minor (as in accidentally kerbing a wheel) damage while I'm driving, having someone hit it while it is parked somewhere, getting caught in traffic while returning it and being fined for going over the allotted time.

Writing this down has just made me realise how nice it would be if there was a car rental company which worked on a first come first served basis with rental charged per minute. If they also had some kind of automatic photo booth to take detailed before and after photos that would be almost perfect.
I don't understand the excitement about Black Swan but I genuinely would like to. If a "Black swan event" is an "event with small probability but massive impact", why would it be surprising that they exist or that they have disproportionate impact?

I'd argue that defining "impact" is also problematic because we conflate things that are surprising with things that are impactful all the time. We don't count all the trains and planes that run on time as "impactful" exactly because they're not surprising, but they do have a large impact on the progression of the future. So part of Taleb's argument just seems like a semantic debate over what counts as "impactful".
Have they accounted for biases often found learned by the machines from our imperfect history?
> On that note, keep in mind that you will likely also be a project manager and responsible for hiring and / or indicating that your company needs to hire people. You have been empowered, it's up to you to push to your management to make investments in e.g. hiring, training, etc.

+1 for this. We've been struggling for a while with backfilling roles, and it's killing projects. But only one person was clamoring for more bodies and specific skilsets -- and they didn't have the budget for it. Once another PM and an Architect started on the "we need new blood" chorus we finally got some extra hires and contractors (that is, 1 hire, and 3 contractors -- but that was enough).

As an architect you're going to have to foresee that kind of stuff, and then advocate for it. "We might be able to get by without [X]" means we don't need that to accountants, so you're going to have to pick battles.
Yes, and in my case, it's still hard to read text off a backlit screen, even with the right prescription. I have to use e-ink or paper if I'm going to be reading for a while.

The North American Smart was larger than that, wasn't classified as a motorcycle and as of last year has been entirely discontinued:

The main use of these cars was the Car2Go service, which was owned by Mercedes themselves, and that service has also shut down in North America.

They were cute cars, decent for a short trip certainly, but we never saw an all-electric model
I really like the idea of learning this. Using a unixy system, sqlite, and plain old CGI sounds like such a good idea to cut through the mountains on mountains of abstractions we've got today for React-based SPAs.

But C is insecure. For all intents and purposes for me, a hobbyist, it is impossibly so. Security experts and C professionals the world over work hard to make things secure, yet there are (virtually) always vulnerabilities discovered (or worse, not), and in the briny seas of the internet, I don't want any code I wrote to compromise my or anyone else's computer systems.

Can I write insecure code in other languages? Yes. Are other languages going to provide more guard rails against failure than C? Yes.

Bottom line: yes C is the one ring, I will probably end up using it plenty in other non-internet-facing capacities. But I don't want to use it for internet-facing things, too many ways for me to foot gun myself.

If this stack existed with a memory-managed language, even if it is otherwise unchanged, I would look into it seriously. As it stands, I don't feel qualified to try to write anything with the beaches stack since I can't reasonably determine with a hobbyist's skillset whether the application is 99.xx% secure from a vulnerability skillset for any non-trivial use.
If the CIA was driving down US streets photographing, scanning and sniffing everything, I think we'd have a different reaction. At least with Google we know all the data is in good hands.
Hans-Hermann Hoppe - Democracy: The God That Failed

This is a seriously mind bending book. You will never again see the world the same way. Not an easy book to read though. You will need to follow the references (and they are many), as otherwise you will refuse to believe what you are reading. Also, it is not a "pleasant" book to read. The author is not a great writer, only a great scholar.
I remember the outrage that this revelation generated and I am still stumped by it. First, the probability that a Google car happens to capture sensitive information as it drives past your residence once per year is basically zero. Even if it did, it would still require detective work to correlate it to you specifically. Second, if you are worried about people recording data broadcast by your WiFi router, it's up to you to secure your network. I would be much more concerned about a neighbor snooping on my traffic. What did people imagine that Google was doing with these random snippets of data?
Don't stop building. You won't have as much time to write code so pick your battles wisely. I would focus on making sure that the code you write makes everyone else on the team more productive. Focus on tooling and frameworks that remove boilerplate and make writing systems that are correct by construction easier.

Learn to write then learn to write well. You will need to communicate complex ideas in ways that even the newest member of your team can understand. Aim to be concise and precise.

A bonus would be to learn formal methods. Being able to model a complex system with many moving parts in an abstract way and check that your requirements and every invariant holds will help you manage complexity. Pick up TLA+ or Alloy. It pays for itself in dividends.
I agree and couldn't have put it nearly as well.
> Maybe, maybe not, either way Musk's isn't qualified to determine that and there is a very obvious conflict of interest for him to say that it is unconstitutional.

By the same token, the Alameda County Health Department isn't qualified to determine what are allowed constitutional civil rights violations.

> why don't we listen to Americans ?

Because the courts are what determine what is or isn't constitutional, not the people. And definitely not a local government health department.

Edit: And besides that, what part of the US Bill of Rights says "In the event of emergency, all these governmental limitations are suspended"? What part in any state's bill of rights says that?

Not the person you’re replying to (and I don’t speak Dutch) but I hadn’t realized the painting’s name rhymed in Dutch. Since I assume Rembrandt chose the title of the piece deliberately it does feel like a certain je ne sais quoi is lost in the non-rhyming English translation.

Personally, it's trash chicken that's usually poorly fried that comes with awful sides, with the best spice blend of any chicken I have ever had that wasn't coated in a sauce. The corporate suits have found a way to basically destroy the product by doing everything as cheaply as possible yet there is still a glimmer of what must have been an amazing product.

It taste better in other countries but not because they do a better job replicating the original, but because it just taste like a completely different chicken place with the same logo. It's like getting Fanta in a different country.

Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault fundamentally changed the way I look at things like school and work. Essentially, they're systems of discipline and control masquerading as something very different. Skip all the Malcom Gladwell crap and read some real philosophy. It's hard but rewarding.
That is really something which rubs me the wrong way. There is no (to my knowledge) comprehensive public place/site where one could see this price devolopment over time, visualize it, show the regional differences, by vendor, product, package size/amount/volume/weight/per piece, and so on. No transparency at all. IMO this should exist. But it doesn't.

Yes! It also solves one of my pet peeves, really a first world problem. Watching 16:9, 1080p videos full-screen on my 32:9 screen lags my PC hard, on basically every video streaming site. The big black bars on either side of the video are apparently very expensive to render (firefox, ubuntu 20.04, ymmv). Theater mode exists on a few of these websites, but I would really like a more general solution. For now, with the help of @boriselec's plug-in, I am satisfied with the /embed trick for youtube.
> The American Edge Project is dedicated to the bipartisan proposition that American innovators are an essential part of U.S. economic health, national security and individual freedoms

This will be interesting. On one hand, I definitely agree with that quote in the article. On the other hand, you often see highly tech-invested commenters on this website argue that it no longer makes sense to work for a startup because the FAANGs have amassed so much wealth and power that they can always be a better deal, even when the startup succeeds. So at the very least in seems the tech giants are stifling innovation in some way. It's also important to note that all of the tech giants amassed their power through acquisitions, not just organic growth (e.g. Facebook and Instagram/WhatsApp, Google and Android/YouTube).

Sounds like they played with their model too much, which definitely leads to untrusted models, and likely was an effort to create "interesting results."

WTF? Ads on hacker news now?
This article is a textbook example of "news stacking" from the book "Trust Me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holiday [1]. Step 1, post some outlandish stories to random blog posts. These blog posts are usually niche, and are run by some "experts" with a core audience. They are trusted to be right.

Then that gets picked up by intermediary news sites like this *.co.uk domain. Then it gets floated to social media, where it gets popular and noticed by the big guns (NYT, Business Insider, Tech Crunch, etc) and then they just post the same stuff. Then suddenly what was once a rumor becomes true.

How exactly is having more lanes going to help with the conveyor belt being small?

So the implication here is that it's my fault for buying too much stuff?

I was buying enough for at least a handful of days for a family of 3 that's stuck at home. I was trying to buy more at once during this pandemic so I don't have to visit the stores as often, but the grocery stores don't make it easy.

I can't imagine what it's like if you have 3+ kids. I mean, I guess if you're going to one of the suburban stores that are more like American ones, it might be fine then.

I think these are good examples, but to me "linear algebra thinking" lies in it's generality. For example, the derivative is a linear operator, so how do you write it down as a matrix? Google's PageRank is a solution of a matrix equation, what does that matrix represent? Etc.
One of the best books I've read about software architecture is Designing Data-Intensive Applications:

https://dataintensive.net/

Almost no fluff, very concrete explanations of various algorithms and system properties, how various real world systems embody them, and how to put those systems together to get effective real world solutions.
There are steps here:

1. Collect data.

2. Apply models to that data.

3. Change both the models and the data collection methods in response to changing understanding of the problem.

4. Loop through 1-3 until the data collection methods and models stabilize.

5. Draw conclusions.

You're looking at a process very much at step 1, and concluding that no models can be drawn from the data, and concluding that we should abandon the process. I think that's a very premature conclusion.

Convincing bullshit is often a single truth stretched thin in a logically consistent manner.

A bullshitter, for instance, might know nothing about Picasso or cubism or even art. But if he knows about continental Europe in the 1900s, he can bullshit his way into convincing someone similarly ignorant that Picasso's Blue Period was, indeed, a reflection of Europe in the wake of WW1 (never mind that the Blue Period was years older).

It's not true, but it takes a truth and stretches it in a logical direction to be convincing.

> Disagree. That is a violent act, but one without violent intent.

intent is in the dictionary definition of the term violence, which is my point. How do you know it is intent? It is beeing communicated (be it verbal, nonverbal or otherwise).

Defining acts like these as communication has a long tradition in system theory, which among other things is used in therapy of families and relationships, so this is not really a creative act on my side.

That people at times use actions (including violent ones) to communicate is nothing new, everybody who has a child knows this.
