Telegraf and collectd do roughly the same thing. They run some plugins to get data and push the results to a given metrics sink. I asked because TICK (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf and Kapacitor) is a known solution and a fairly standard way to add elements of monitoring to your system.

Yes, these techniques have been used to find bases and destroy them. Along with the texture rotation trick, there's also the position of bedrock whose distribution is fixed in every Minecraft world, so if you show exposed bedrock during a base tour you are at risk of leaking coordinates. Natural terrain is also another factor, so share enough images of the area surrounding the base and it can be leaked similarly.

The field of mental health says something is a disorder if it causes a noticeable and real problem. It's a beautifully simple idea: "Is it causing a problem? If yes, let's help. If no, leave well enough alone."

Quoting Wikipedia's summary (can't find my DSM-IV):

>According to DSM-IV, a mental disorder is a psychological syndrome or pattern which is associated with distress (e.g. via a painful symptom), disability (impairment in one or more important areas of functioning), increased risk of death, or causes a significant loss of autonomy; however it excludes normal responses such as grief from loss of a loved one, and also excludes deviant behavior for political, religious, or societal reasons not arising from a dysfunction in the individual.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder

We can argue about where to draw the line for distress or disability, but I just wanted to counter the myth that shrinks are totally subjective.
Yes, you're right. I got my election timeline wrong.
You mean all the Python programs started before 2008, right? Because that's when it was announced that they were sunsetting Py2.

Early 2000s (so about a decade earlier). Here's a quote from then-MIT president on introducing OCW.

MIT President Charles Vest said that “We are not providing an MIT education on the Web. We are providing our core materials that are the infrastructure that undergirds an MIT education. Real education requires interaction, the interaction that is part of American teaching. We think that OpenCourseWare will make it possible for faculty here and elsewhere to concentrate even more on the actual process of teaching, on the interactions between faculty and students that are the real core of learning.”

ADDED: Video was not nearly as democratized at the time. YouTube wasn't founded until 2005.

This is a little disingenuous. There exist locks that he cannot pick, but the vast majority of his uploads are three minutes or fewer and include a successful picking attempt. More on-topic for this thread, a common LPL theme is that bike lock chains are made of high-quality hard-to-cut material, but the lock cores are still often commodity parts which are picked open by standard techniques and tools.

I would say that much more important for discussing LPL is that he has immense real-world experience, equivalent to a master locksmith, and he builds his own picks. I am not the best lockpicker, but I bet that even I could open bike locks as quickly as he does, if only I had "the tool that [he] and BosnianBill made" in my fingers. Indeed, the community has talked quite a bit about the tool, and perhaps we'll get a 2020 gift in either a commercially-available version or public specifications for building them at home [0].

The European Council is made of the democratically elected Heads of State of each Member State. The European Council nominates the president of the European Comission, which again has one member per Member State. The European Parliament, which is composed of MEPs directly elected by the citizens of each member state, must ratify all nominations. The directly elected European Parliament has veto power on European Comission decisions, and so has every Member State.

A state can only join the EU by virtue of a democratic decision according to the constitution of the Member State itself, and there are strong requirements on prospective Member States to be themselves proper democracies with separation of powers in order to be allowed to join.

Granted, these requirements have been slightly overlooked when it came to the UK: the House of Lords is undemocratic, one could say outdated, and would almost certainly not be tolerated in any other candidate state.

So, the EU might be complex, but in what sense exactly is it undemocratic?

Why is cancer pathological?

Because cancerous cells prioritize their own growth over the health of the wider system in which they exist.

Companies with this mindset do not reach a point at which they say "ok, we're big enough now". There is no target size they're trying to reach, there is only a target year-over-year multiplicative growth rate. They prioritize growth over providing value to the users they have. They grow without regard for the effect it has on social dynamics within the system (changing what the product is good for and what it's bad for), or the effect it has on social dynamics beyond the system.

It's the Paperclip Maximizer approach to business. And, of course, it's the stock market approach to business too.

Can Proteus be cut by Proteus?
Yes, there is. They hypothesize that this material works because the ceramic spheres vibrate inside the flexible matrix of the aluminum foam, damaging the grinding wheel. A thinner foam will have less ability to flex, and smaller spheres will be have less momentum to use against the wheel.

Plus, if you watch the video of them grinding the material (https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs415...), you can see that the grinding wheel penetrates over half an inch before it begins to be destroyed.

What’s amusing to me is how few suggestions around highlighting ignores the vast amounts of whitespace that surrounds every character. Borders (partial and full), underlines, strikethrough, background colors, font faces... so many options, yet are we’re constantly limiting ourselves to the color of a letter and the occasional red squiggle.

The one valid excuse I can think of is “my editor doesn’t support it”, to which I say BS. VIM, in a terminal, can do most of those.
The vast majority of software developers don't have leverage over their employer. There are some in high demand tech hubs that do.

Some interesting things that could happen:

- We software developers create a hierarchy/training program much like trade workers (electrical for instance) where your title in the union is dependent on mentoring and peer reviews.

- Silly interview leet bullshit disappears. Union people interview and assess candidates/new union people. Titles are earned via a formal process.

- Specializations could emerge that have more stringent requirements to attain a title/modifier.

- A company wouldn't need recruiters, they would be part of the union. If unionized software devs work at company ABC, then the union rep would know the contract is being expanded and they need 10 more devs and at what levels.

- Union representatives would negotiate contracts for pay and benefits. They would be uniform across devs at that company, possibly that region.

- Union workers could go on strike if they determine they find the employer doing morally questionable business practices.

- A bunch of software nerds will make a lot of poor attempts at jokes and memes like they are union mobsters so it should be called a guild, it suits us better :)

IMO not a revolution, but I can see a solid evolution. My reading of the work on embedding ML into physical models so far is that the best strategy is to take it as far as possible with the standard physics approach of abstraction and reduction, and once you exhaust that, apply ML to solve the remaining (often crucial) complex behavior.

I've watched some of the lectures of CS50 in the past, and the one question that has always come into my mind is this: "How do these lectures help you learn at a deep level?" I already knew most of the material, so I found it to be an entertaining review, but that's different from a beginner needing to learn new material at a deep level. I kind of think it'd be a nightmare to take good notes while watching his lectures. I'm not bashing the lecture style, but if I were a student, I'd prefer a good textbook to those lectures.

In contrast, I watched all the lectures of Martin Odersky's functional programming MOOC. I learned a ton from that even when I'd already seen the material. His presentations were lower tech, with less razzle-dazzle, but my goal was to learn. His presentations are optimized (intentionally or not) to facilitate good note taking and later application.

Vaccines are important. They're so important that we want everyone to get them, even though we recognise a very small number of people may be harmed by them. We don't want to cause further harm to those families by forcing them to fight their case in court against a multi-billion dollar company, and so we've created funds to compensate the small number of families who are harmed by vaccines.

If you package it with your software, then that might be the case unless you had negotiated other licencing terms first.

Simply hosting it with your information in would not have any such effect, but many commercial entities avoid anything xGPL just-in-case. In this case perhaps because they see a time that they might later want to package and distribute documentation that is in the wiki without converting it to something else first.

There is an extra concern with AGPL that does not exist with GPL specifically because of its key difference. AGPL applies to hosting the software and making it available not just distributing a compiled form. Some interpret this as meaning that if it is hosted on the same server, or in the same site, as other software then that other software becomes AGPL licensed too. I doubt anyone would enforce this interpretation but the possibility is enough to put off those who create proprietary software.

> making it accessible to the public that the copyleft license would then apply to my proprietary software?

Not just the public. Anyone you give access to, so for non-public hosted proprietary software you could be beholden to giving them access to the code under the AGPL in situations where AGPL applies. This will be a complete blocked for many creators of proprietary, or other non-*GPL licensed, software.

[if the above makes me sound against AGPL rest assured that I am not - I in fact might end up using it at least initially (at least until I decide upon which of the more proprietary-friendly options to use) for some near-future projects]
I think that the thing about that talk that struck a chord is that he took a bunch of things that people had been talking about quite a bit - functional vs oop, mutability, data storage, various clean code-type debates, etc. - and extracted a clear mental framework for thinking about all of them.
+1 for vector. We moved from Logstash to Vector and we couldn't be happier. Logstash is awesome but its a memory hog.

An AST is directly representable via text - via the very syntax you use to write the ‘linear document’. What’s holding us back is not necessarily the text, it’s the editors which are (generally) only able to edit text, not an AST.

It should be possible (if not easy) to create a zoomable UI that lets you interact with code directly as well as zooming out to view and interact with the code structure in a meaningful way.

We can expect developers to think about accessibility during development. You would never see a building constructed today without a ramp or with insufficient handicapped parking. I realize that you can't change culture overnight either, but the fact is that technology like this, designed for use in large applications used by a huge portion of the population of the world, shouldn't need to be retrofitted to be accessible. It should have been baked in.

We had major issues with scaling InfluxDB. We use clickhouse (graphite table engine) now and it is more than order of magnitude more resource efficient.
I approached InfluxDB since it looked promising. It did actually served its purpose when it was simple and Telegraf was indeed handy.
Now that I have more mature requirements I can't wait to move away from it. It gets frozen frequently, it's UI Chronograph is really rubbish, functions are very limited and managing continuous queries is tiresome.

I'm now having better results and experience storing data in ClickHouse (yes, not a timeseries dB).

From time to time I also follow what's coming in InfluxDB 2.0 but I must confess that 16 betas in 8 months are not very promising.

It might just be me.

I appreciate this sentiment. We've been focused on a building a SaaS version of Influxdata and are committed to a paired open source version of that. The open source version has been lagging as we work on the SaaS side.
