maybe not what the above commenter meant but some euro speed camera systems compare pictures and the time they were taken from multiple cameras to get average speed. so imagine a camera that logs every on and off ramp of i-80 and if you the times you enter and exit indicate an average speed above the speed limit, you get a ticket.
In that case, I would omit webpages from the past year.
The index rebalance trade is as old as time... Nothing new. Arbitrageurs take risk to provide liquidity on the rebalance day. You need to get paid for that risk. So they do the market a service.

It's good and important to have a proper function healthcare system. However, we shouldn't fall into the false dichotomy fallacy. We don't have to pay 50% of our pay checks in taxes in order to provide good healthcare for all. It's just that some greedy people at the top will have to give up some of what they're making now.
Kafka's fine, it's got a lot of market share and existing orgs with large deployments aren't going to go through the pain of switching needlessly.

Pulsar is great, I love how it combines message queue and pub-sub semantics. Tiered storage etc. The built-in cluster replication is brilliant, although it has some limitations - you can't replicate from cluster A to cluster B to cluster C due to how Pulsar avoids the active/active infinite replication circle of doom.

But, it's early days for it. Anyone adopting it will need to invest more time in learning the innards compared to Kafka.
What do you want to optimize for?

If you have tools that use git to pull metrics to see who your "best" developers are, don't be surprised if developers create or use tools to optimize their changes for the metrics rather than add value to the codebase.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect
The technical reason is the inherently distributed and shared nature of Kafka setups makes writing an ACID-compliant frontend (basically?) impossible.

If your application assumes ACID compliance, it will fail. Also, I haven’t looked into this one as directly, but I imagine that query latency compared to an RDBMS would be quite poor.

IMO, most people reach for Kafka too soon, where an RDBMS with a proper schema that includes transaction and valid history would better suit the domain. It’s possible to write very efficient and ergonomic “append-only”, temporal data schemas in Postgres schemas.

I think there is an advantage to being an island state when it comes to handling Covid-19 as both New Zealand and Australia have show.

However, the UK which is smaller than both, lost that advantage only because of their botched response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The POS systems need this natively. So an order from any system is ingested the same as any other ticket typed by an employee on prem.

It needs to be a protocol like email or http, not another company with a proprietary aggregator.
The piece makes the point that the features presented have negligible to no downsides in the context of gamedev (and other contexts as well), and your argument doesn't refute that other than by assertion. It instead tries to disqualify the relevant points based on the credentials of the author.

While making big assumptions about the author's experience in the process. It's plausible he has experience in complex, performance-sensitive, highly collaborative C++ as well. The whole argument hinges on partial information and disbelief, really.
Isn't this exactly what lead to Hashicorp's memberlist library being used all over in random projects?
Kafka has exactly-once semantics that mostly work. They also have "idempotent producer" which ostensibly provides atomic transactions as well.

Sounds awesome, but the implementation pretty much breaks kafka in that one can no longer scale. Topic and partition are all constrained to a single broker. Hot spots abound!

So there's a problem with thrashing... Where deeply down companies may drop out of the index on this rebalance but come back in sometime down the road, in a quarter or 2. The CRSP indices, for example, solve this problem by buffering between the market cap segments. The S&P should introduce a similar mechanism to it's methodology. This would also reduce index rebalance trade aheads and thus reduce costs.
Nobody is arguing against feeding families.

Business taking insufficient safety measures pose a risk to their employees and the wider community. Due to the broad and delayed nature of the risk and the effort required to deal with it, it's not clear that business will voluntarily take the best course of action.

For the sake of protecting employees from unsafe conditions and protecting the wider community from secondary effects in a timely manner it's better to implement broad measures first and deal with the details later.

The cost of temporary unemployment is nothing compared to the cost of surpassing the capacity of healthcare services.

I found (possibly) this guy's blog by googling 'passthejoe blog'. I don't think it was the Blogger blog they were talking about, though so I made another search with (presumably) their real name and word blog. Bang,there it is.

If you know where those are, you just don't let them read your plate.

There are products out there that can turn your license plate "off" with the flick of a switch. But if you are modifying car for a cannonball run you can build one yourself. Google "smart glass". Remember too that many US states do not require front plates. So it is not unusual for a car to be seen without one, leaving only the rear plate to worry about.

The fact that many people are scared away from Kafka simply because they don't want to run zookeeper should be telling.
If you're losing machines like that, why not set replicas higher? I'm assuming you're running a rather large cluster if 3 machines failing is fairly routine.

Also, did you look into Cruise Control at all?

But I agree that having to fit any entire replica of a partition on one machine is a weakness of Kafka, and something that Pulsar improves on by using Bookkeeper which only needs to be able to store a segment of a ledger - BK's autorecovery daemon is nice too.
Thanks for the wonderfully insightful comment. I need to save this so I can periodically look at it for motivation!
afaik sync can call async if the language allows you to make an executor/event-loop. e.g. with python's asyncio it'd be something like

def sync_foo():
task = async_bar()
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
return loop.run_until_complete(task)

after all, unless the loop is built into the language (like JS), you need bootstrap the async code somehow

I think the "this" in the text refers to the paragraph before your excerpt, i.e. the pandemic caused a lot of regular people to eat their food outside instead of in rastaurants.

"Getting to that point, where _a global pandemic_ was kind of an annoying blip in my life, was a long strange journey. It included nearly six years of homelessness.

While homeless, my sons and I routinely tried to find out-of-the-way public tables. For purposes of germ control, we didn't want to eat in restaurants and homeless people aren't welcome in restaurants anyway. So we would get takeout and go find a table somewhere outdoors.

Much to our annoyance, _this_ popularized some of our favorite out-of-the-way eating places."

And not a word about machine learning. Sounds like density functional theory is the numerical model here. I don’t have access to the full article, but if you tell me it’s numerical optimization on a DFT objective, then that makes sense, but it’s not ML. If you tell me it’s machine learning, then I’ll be confused and ask you how you measured all those millions/billions of quantum states to get the training data. And, like, why are you using a ML model when the physical model (DFT) is known? Are you saying that you used ML to speed up simulation? Is this an ML paper or a materials science paper or maybe something about global warming? I’m confused.

Nope, it also stores topic metadata in ZK - it's not exactly going to store that in the (near) stateless brokers, or in Bookkeeper - and BK also relies on ZK, but it's common to reuse the ZK quorum between the brokers and the bookies.

It also needs an additional ZK for cluster replication.
No, I am not talking about small businesses necessarily. I am talking about the reality of non-VC businesses. That doesn't mean bootstrapped either.

I do realize private data is hard to come by, but this is known to people in the business world. It's very, very hard to sell a company for more than about 5x. I am talking from personal experience as well a from knowledge of friends who have sold non-VC tech businesses.

One way to look at it is that in the real world the buyer has an expectation of ROI that has to align with reality. Buy the business, run it, make money, pay for your investment and make money beyond that. People paying 123 times P/E for stocks have no connection to reality whatsoever, it's pure speculation.

BTW, I am not using "in the real world" as a pejorative. It simply means "non VC, non public".

US government healthcare spend is huge, it is not tiny compared to military. $1.1T according to this source in fiscal year 2018:

https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-much-does-...

This website states in 2018, the federal government spent $582B on Medicare, and $389B on Medicaid, plus all the tax exemption for employer sponsored health insurance and ACA subsidies to individual buyers, etc.

https://www.thebalance.com/fy-2018-trump-federal-budget-requ...

Defense and Homeland Security was only ~$630B or so.
This matches my experience as well.
This a Node limitation, though. E.g. .NET has had asynchronous call contexts, which encapsulate stuff such as "async thread locals", for a very long time.

Similarly, for the stacks, it's largely a tooling issue - if the debugger understands async, and the framework retains enough information about the origin of the promise, it can re-create the original stack trace, and combine it with the current one - .NET debuggers in VS and VSCode do this, as well, and WinRT even does this for C++.

Nah, Pulsar functions is nowhere near Kafka Streams - it's more like AWS lambda.

Example off the top of my head, is that you can't, in Pulsar Functions write the equivalent of "aggregate this stream across a 10 minute window and emit the results on window close".

But that's fine, it doesn't need to be like Kafka Streams, you can use Flink or Spark or Storm etc. to fill the same niche. In fact one of the founders of StreamNative (Pulsar's equivalent of Confluent) is a core committer on Flink.

The publish or perish nature of blogs is one of the many reasons why I feel they're generally inferior to the personal web pages that were popular during the early web. It seems that there has been a general trend towards a constant churning of output in order to keep up the dopamine hits for users. The quality of a lot of online content reflects this.
The music is still there and has an obvious effect.

I thought the demo was impressive, but these things do seem like an effort to distract from (or more accurately bolster the effect of) the core technology.

Though maybe the right call since this is less a strict technical demo and more a way to drive interest/marketing.

The 'high levels of expressivity' comment was more of a flag to me, it's a meaningless phrase alone but it's suggested as an obvious answer. It feels like a mysterious answer [0].

I recognize though this is a marketing video, the core tech demo is cool, and I'm probably being unfairly critical. Flags like that make me more skeptical than I would otherwise be by default.

Oh, thanks. That makes sense.
Since passive funds mostly weigh investment by market cap or some other indicator of size that’s already gotten smaller for these firms I’m not sure swapping out the smallest 30 would make up more than a few percent of allocated funds.. far from drastic for the passive investor. From the firm perspective it’s also hard to quantify the effect on stock prices from dropped firms when the reason they’re being dropped is their market cap shrunk— there’s a chicken vs egg quality to the situation. Obviously some institutions will be forced to sell but the market is generally efficient in the long run— it’s not like getting dropped affects the underlying business value. In the short term the businesses will have less access to newly issued equity capital however.

No idea what the right word for what you are saying is. But it’s not front-running. Using front-running here would be similar to if I described a social engineering hack as a “zero-day”. Except worse as front running is frequently legally defined by groups like the sec & finra.

> However, during that process you will eventually confront every single hard problem that relational database management systems have faced for decades. However, during that process you will eventually confront every single hard problem that relational database management systems have faced for decades. You will more or less have to write a full-fledged DBMS in your application code. And you will probably not do a great job, and will end up with dirty reads, phantoms, and all the other symptoms of a buggy database.

It's the same as moving from a framework to a library. At first, the framework seems great, it solves all your problems for you. But then as soon as you want to do something slightly different from the way your framework wanted you to do it, you're stuffed. Much better to use libraries that offer the same functionality that the framework had, but under your own control.

If you use the sledgehammer of a traditional RDBMS you are practically guaranteed to get either lost updates, deadlocks, or both. If you take the time to understand your dataflow and write the stream -> table transformation explicitly, you front-load more of the work, but you get to a database that works properly more quickly.

99% of webapps don't use database transactions properly. Indeed during the LAMP golden age the most popular database didn't even have them. The most well-designed systems I've seen built on traditional databases used them like Kafka - they didn't read-modify-write, they had append-only table structures and transformed one table to compute the next one. At which point what is the database infrastructure buying you?

If you're using a traditional database it's overwhelmingly likely that you're paying a significant performance and complexity cost for a bunch of functionality that you're not using. Given the limited state of true master-master HA in traditional databases, you're probably giving up a bunch of resilience for it as well. If Kafka had come first, everyone would see relational SQL databases as overengineered, overly-prescriptive, overhyped. There are niches where they're appropriate, but they're not a good general-purpose solution.
