(IMHO) White men get away with being authoritarian jerks in much larger numbers than other categories.

This is not to say that all white men are jerks or that some who are are not also called out as such. Nor is this a suggestion that being an authoritarian jerk and being respected for it or getting away with it or given a pass for it is exclusive to white men.
Author of `pgx` here.

We developed pgx so that we could rewrite "ZomboDB" (https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb) in Rust. ZDB is a custom "Index Access Method" for Postgres. Think btree index, but stored in Elasticsearch.

So that's definitely a thing.

Other ideas might be custom data analytics/transformation/processing engines that you'd prefer to run in the database instead of externally.

Custom data types to represent, for example, street addresses or genetic information.

The only limit is yourself! ;)

Depends on the country of course.

Last time I made heavy use of Digikey was in Australia and it worked really well. I'd order on Thursday and it would arrive by ~Monday, which was pretty awesome. You're right shipping, I remember correctly, was $20-$30, but on $200 of parts it was a small cost.

But as I said, this was done in my professional life, so I didn't blink an eye at it. Hobby world I get is different, but also the cost is frustration as opposed to 1000s, 10,000s of badly built boards.

b) I have wondered this... you know those letters some ISPs send to people telling them what they downloaded illegally? Do they send that stuff to VPN providers? Because it seems like they would just get flooded. I connected to my VPN service and there are thousands on that IP range.

>If returns over a long period are below the assumed rate, then the employer simply needs to increase contributions.

It's seductive to type out the word "simply" to describe a proposed solution but that doesn't mean it's simple in reality. (My previous comment about supposedly "simple" fixes:

E.g. The employer (the state government) that pays into pension funds for teachers won't simply pay more. The taxpayers aren't sympathetic to raising taxes on themselves to pay for fully funded pensions (even if the pension is underfunded) when they perceive the teachers already getting better benefits than they do. A lot of citizen taxpayers who are not teachers also suffer from underfunded pensions themselves!

This kind of thing is already done heavily by content rights-holders. If you torrent movies or games in Canada without a VPN, you will get nastygrams in your email from the rights-holders via your ISP. They're legally required to do so AFAIK, because even consumer-oriented ISPs that are very privacy driven also forward on those letters.

Apparently if you don't reply to those emails you're fine, because they can't escalate the process unless you reply - I've heard stories of people receiving dozens of these "we saw you downloading pirate stuff, stop doing that" emails.
Any chance they documented that setup publicly?
Would be interested to dive in to how all that works and gain any new insights
Luckily my router only supports IPV4 and I'm assigned a vague IPv4 CGNAT IP every time I switch it on. I used this site to do some OSINT on my IP and you guessed it: It looks like I'm sharing my IP with 1000s of other subscribers so doing attribution to 'me' would be hard and also wouldn't hold up in court.

Inconsistent naming of concepts is not ideal
Well, first of all I disagree that her defense of trans women is disingenuous. Her points are well thought out. She points to specific situations where trans women are vulnerable. Just because she has another concern doesn't invalidate her concern for trans women being vulnerable.

So her heinous viewpoint is she has concern for girls in restrooms and locker rooms? Why is she not allowed to have this concern? The rest of the country/world is not San Francisco. Where I live I've never seen anything other than Men and Women restrooms. Sure adding a gender neutral bathroom could help with the issue but they don't exist in the vast majority of locations in the US. I have two high school daughters - one with autism. I'm sorry if its a dangerous trope from half a century ago - but my wife and I would be concerned with a trans woman sharing the locker room with them. Certainly my non-autistic daughter would feel uncomfortable. My daughter with autism wouldn't care because she has trouble with boundaries and being appropriate which makes it more concerning.

So now you'll say I don't care about the fate of trans people. Nope. It's possible to have concern for them and concern for non-trans people.
Glass bottles in the ocean get chemical and mechanical weathering pretty quickly, being ground away to sand on the order of decades. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_glass)

You can also simply put them through a crusher/pulverize two or three times to turn them back into sand. I'm not really sure intact glass is a big environmental problem though. Animals could get stuck in intact bottles or cut themselves on sharp glass, but otherwise I believe glass is nontoxic, generally quite inert, and as far as nature is concerned indistinguishable from other naturally occurring minerals (obsidian in particular comes to mind.)
This is going to be a tough claim to prove

Like some people mentioned - you could Patroni for HA. It is a template that could be configured with etcd like distributed consensus key value stores for leader election using the world famous RAFT algorithm.
Could use Watchdog/Softdog for avoiding split-brain.
Now, we could also do some actions before and after failover which can be scripted.
Regarding HA on other pieces such as Blob store, you could use CRR using the AWS S3. You could just mount the S3 via NFS Gateway to DB servers and let the job be done in a more simpler way.
Similarly, all the problems you mentioned are solved, however, anything you feel is still challenging after going through the webinar recording, please reply back here.

Usenet has its own issues though. The past couple years there’s been a massive jump in DMCA takedowns.

On certain things you now have download as it becomes available, in a week it’ll be gone. For things that no one cares to pay for monitoring of, you can go back years.

So, pros and cons to torrents that don’t get taken down specially but torrents “die” of old age when no one seeds them.

It’s odd to me that file sharing seems to have hit a wall after torrents got popular. Doesn’t it seem like Usenet shouldn’t be the best option considering it’s age?
When customers switch over to torrenting Netflix can keep their 'watched' list updated in case they come back.
Hypothetical Example: I would tell my dad that I'll give a missed call and let it ring just thrice once I got safely to University from home.

Actual Example from my life: My dad had a cellular plan that had lots of free minutes of calling. So, I would just give him a missed call and he would call back. This was the early 2000s I think.

It is already, and the logic is something like: talent is largely a function of practice and access to education. Having the means and opportunity to practice and be properly educated is a privilege.

Reading this really reminded me of some of the fascinating/crazy things Tcl is capable of, all based on a simple programming model focused on strings. Like, want to pass a reference to a variable? Simply pass the name of the variable to the function and then do

proc f {varname} {
upvar 1 $varname var
set var ...somevalue...
}

The upvar “links” the local variable var to the variable named $varname in the scope of the calling function. Or maybe you are in dire need of a control construct that loops thrice? No problem:

proc do_thrice {code} {
foreach _ {1 2 3} {
uplevel 1 $code
}
}

Okay, this does not handle break, continue or error propagation (you can do that also, but it would be a bit longer). You can use this like so:

set text Go!
do_thrice {puts $text}

The variable text is not visible inside of do_thrice; but the uplevel executes the code in the scope of its caller, so it can read and write to the local variables just like an ordinary loop.

Of course, in ordinary code you should mostly avoid this kind of stuff. Though apparently uplevel is used by NASA, of all people, so I guess it is fine!

More fun stuff: You use the built-in proc to define a new procedure, but you can replace it by your own, e.g. to insert profiling code at beginning and end. (Hint: If you try this, use uplevel when calling the built-in proc, to avoid namespace problems.) You can parse and rewrite code at runtime (of course) which I once used to insert “breakpoints” at runtime for my program to debug itself.

Gcached version: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:...

In terms of the content, I was hoping for more concrete data rather than speculation. I myself come from a worldview where this is somewhat alien, in that, in my understanding of Christianity I am not trying to be this big achiever that the article wants to be. Likeability however is not directly a virtue in itself for us, and indeed our other virtues like being present in the moment and authentic with others sometimes require unlikeable conversation, for example “hey, I noticed that you have been on your phone composing this post to tell someone on the internet that they are wrong for about an hour, and I don't think you are getting as much out of that as maybe you seem to think... maybe let it go and let them be wrong and have the last word and trust that onlookers will judge properly without trying to sway their judgment?” rarely goes over well until sometime gets some more distance from the addiction.

So, like, I would have been really interested in the precise deployment of unlikability to further wisdom, but this article is about the shotgun deployment of unlikability to further personal achievement.
This is a good point. There probably is a market for a Pihole book.
That, and you should know that there is almost certainly history of who had which IP address when; it's not going to be the same DHCP server running on your small router.

If you download something, get a new IP, and the ISP gets a complaint for your old IP, they have that data and may be obligated legally to do something about it.
Why is step 7 wrong? If all groups of k people had the same age, then everyone in G except P would have had the same age. That is a true proposition ('false => true' is true).

The greater point of the excersise is to show a failure mode of an inductive proof. If the property hadn't been so clearly false, it may have been harder to spot the actual mistake ; the excersise is meant to prepare you for those other cases.
> instead of parking it safely while this global crisis plays out.

parking isn't safe. Parking is guaranteed to lose 20-30% because of the newly printed money and the resulting asset prices rise across the board. Yes, some assets may experience the swings during that money tsunami, yet on average across the board the assets would still rise 20-30% - ie. the amount of the newly printed money.

Economy and market didn't part ways. The stock market is just like speedometer that got "upgraded" from mph to kmh - the number is higher while the car and the speed are still the same.

TBB is based on the use of nested threads. We rely on much of what TBB has to offer, which includes concurrent containers and flowgraphs.

I author the half dozen base linux AMI images that our middleware and end customers use, so we have amazon linux, amazon linux 2, ubuntu 1604, ubuntu 1804, centos/rhel/oracle 7, and some alpine stuff for container spaces. (author, ok, all I mean is I write a manifest that adds some extra crud into a cis level 1 pre-hardened image the industry sells us)

Desktop, I'm always running a mac. It's pretty, and I can run all my dev stuff from here - terraform, packer, vagrant are my daily drivers. It helps me keep all my runtime code decoupled from the pipeline so that the other devs are able to stay running in whatever they use for local work. It's always too easy to tack weld pipeline constructs in that break the local build model and my mac gives me slightly better results by keeping me on my toes.

Servers, which are always build servers, it's always either Ubuntu LTS, 18.04 right now, or Red Hat 7. They say we're not supposed to name our livestock, but our build servers are Bessie and Clarabelle, 4 years old and banging products out left and right. Having an OS that isn't distracted by its own bling has been a source of confidence to us - the more boring, the better.

I'm kidding, Bessie and Clarabelle are only for our on-prem builds. Everything happening in the cloud exists for about 90 seconds longer than the build process, and then evaporates. And as you might guess, those are nearly always 100% successful builds and the onprem stuff has its own dedicated triage team to try and salvage bad builds (because it's cheaper than starting a new one, sigh)

I agree a statement that Pulsar and RabbitMQ are two different products. I understand Pulsar could be missing key based binding, exchanging, and routing in RabbitMQ. (to certain extend, Pulsar Function and key based routing might be able to provide routing features but it is not baked as first class citizen as RabbitMQ.) Do you care to elaborate what are a lot of missing features for event driven from Pulsar?

(Another clarification - Technically Pulsar client is a thick client. It allows both client and broker to co-manage the flow control. It is more than a push based queue. It does data streaming.)

I've been using FTDI for, I don't know, twenty years. No problems at all. Also using USB solutions from other vendors (not FTDI clones).

> The original FT232R chips have a clocking bug that makes bitbang mode unusable for many applications, with no workaround

One of the problems with this situation is that if clones are allowed to permeate the market unencumbered the manufacturer of the genuine device might not have the financial capability to address problems and continue to innovate. Every single fake chip takes revenue away from the legitimate supplier.

Not arguing that your technical point isn't valid. It is. My point is that causing damage to the legitimate manufacturer by substituting their chips with clones has a non-zero non-trivial effect. Clone chip makers have zero interest and expend zero effort, time and money supporting the ecosystem they infect. All they care about is pushing their hardware and nothing else.

This also causes damage to consumers because it is impossible to know what issues fake chips might bring to the table across a wide range of vectors, safety and reliability being just two of them.

The better path is to take design wins away from FTDI and adopt hardware from legitimate part suppliers with solutions that meet your requirements. That's fine and that's how a healthy market works. Choosing fakes over legitimate parts hurts everyone. Today it's FTDI, tomorrow it could be your own products. Having experienced the "attack of the clones" myself, I can tell you this is not pleasant at all and it can, quite literally, destroy your company, costing jobs and your future.

Not a simple problem.
