There might be something wrong with your phone, my S10 with Chrome is working well.

Edit: Actually, I remembered now there are two versions of the S10, the Snapdragon and the Exynos variants. I have the Snapdragon one, might be a difference.

I'm not sure if desktop graphics are any better. It's a reason why a lot of people choose consoles, no chance of incompatibility. But even then you have ports and games that are poorly made!
To be fair though, for people developing for iOS it's a disproportionately huge point in the "huge M:N matrix".

My experience is that grand solutions can be attractive in theory but awful in reality.
I had a client who had prod database access due to it being hosted internally. They called up saying "their system is no longer working".

After about an hour of investigation, I find one of the primary database tables is empty - completely blank.

I then spend the next hour looking through code to see if there's any chance of a bug that would wipe their data and couldn't find anything that would do that.

I then had to make "the phone call" to the client saying that their primary data table had been wiped and I didn't know what we did wrong.

Their response: "Oh I wrote a query and accidentally did that, but thought I stopped it".
First, bravo for being a maker! You shared two projects below, one of which only works if there is a community. The other one is arguable. If you like to build, but aren’t good on the community side (which is totally fine) then maybe focus on products and projects which are useful just to one person. You could also try things like some type of SEO play, or selling things via advertising, etc.

> It's hard for me to see how "Java" and "cloud" go together.

Why? From its release, Java has been used for SaaS. SAP runs its cloud services using Java and this includes subsidiaries Ariba, Concur, and SuccessFactors.
If target customers are not aware of a problem and think excel is the way to go, how, even with a product do you get as far as to show it to them? And then what?
His quote was:

> Is there any evidence that the vast amounts of clicks and user interactions companies have been collecting are worth anything at all?

And for the huge majority of companies, it is not. Even many 1B+ dollar companies. Most value produced by businesses still could exist with boring ETL or BI concepts that have been around forever, because the hardware powering it is so fast. Many if not most of those businesses probably would be better off.

So yes, companies blow a lot of money on stuff with questionable ROI. I don't discount your experiences and that there are cases where the complexity might have a payoff. But honestly, we've seen periods of excess complexity and waste in software before: it's the norm.
Carter Page really ought to have sued Yahoo and that Isikoff fellow over how they misrepresented him!
This attention to differences in textures and materials has a substantial genealogy. It is precisely what the Dutch and Spanish still life artists concerned themselves with. Helluva challenge for a painter, and a real chance to show off. Google those terms and you will see paintings depicting glass, bread, fish, wax, copper etc etc.

Speaking of which, I would have preferred 'the artist who paints...' to 'the artist who does.. '. Less ambiguous.

“Unsliced” or just sliced into larger pieces than in the US?
> You claim that those low-efficiency jobs would still have workers if we were allowed to pay them a low enough price.

I think you misunderstood "If you could pay someone $4/hour..." It's not a statement about minimum wage or anything like that; GP isn't claiming that there's a potential market of $4/hr labor that would exist without regulation. Instead I interpreted the sentence as "Consumers value certain tasks at e.g. $4/hr but due to the Baumol effect nobody is willing to work for that amount."
Why is it happening? Because they can. And we are making it increasingly easier for them by building these centralized, mostly open platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

There has been no collapse in the intellectual life of Americans. If anything maybe a peak then moderate decline. The only difference is these platforms.

A French girl once asked me, "Why is there no salt in your Norwegian butter?" This really got to me. It forced me to ask existential questions like, "Should there really be salt in butter?" But the fact is, putting salt in stuff is an old conservation method. Because of it, unsalted butter was looked upon as fresher, and thus of higher value when used as spread or in cooking. As far as I know, the idea of unsalted butter was actually popularized by French gourmands! But as newer and cleaner dairy production methods came about, the production of unsalted butter became more common. On top of that, the colder climate in Scandinavia means that unsalted butter keeps for longer than in warmer countries. So that's why Norwegian butter isn't salted. But yeah, as for the "grater knife;" I think it just made it to the top of my wish-list for Christmas!
When I was not yet a teetotaler, each time I was hitting my maths textbooks after a few drinks, I could not believe my level of focus, and everything was clear and obvious. Textbook pages were flying at a speed never seen.

Of course the next day, when re-reading the same pages, I was always discovering that the previous day I had everything wrong, nothing was obvious, and all my reasoning when with alcohol was false because simplistic and oblivious of any mathematical rigor.
It's doesn't appear to have an entry on ProtonDB:

Looking at that WineHQ list, it's kind of interesting. Didn't know that existed.

The info on ProtonDB - for other games anyway - seems fairly accurate.
NDB is a specialized cluster database where all secondary indexes have to fit in the cluster's RAM(!).

That’s not that wild of a design principle: It’s been longstanding best practice to scale OLTP databases (and limit indexing) as to keep secondary indexes buffered in memory.

Da Nang also had small road leaks at first. Then those who were diverting via those roads were caught and punished. Roads were closed.

I don’t think Mixpanel fits here. Mixpanel it’s just one end-to-end suite, mostly behavioral data that is captured from user sessions or user derived events/sub-events. Basically web analytics.

The whole point of data infrastructure is that sometimes you’re collecting data from the most random places. Many of that data is not necessarily user behavior.
Sometimes it’s things like temperatures, latencies, CPU usage or instrument tallies. Sometimes it’s a stream
of minute to minute weather data or timings or anything, really. Besides many companies have been collecting data for decades but it all live in silos where it can’t be used for anything.

Mixpanel can’t capture all that data, or query it, or analyze it.
Mixpanel is just capturing a super small subset of web event data and it happens to provide an analysis suite on top that data they collect.

That’s why Segment shows up in this list instead. They help to move a lot of siloed data into a common systems.
Mixpanel is just another source of data. You need something like Snowflake to put everything together and be able to do queries across multiple datasets.
This looks really cool and fairly unique! Thanks for posting.
I'm in the exact same phase - been doing hosting/ops/sysadmin for most of my life but only starting to pay serious attention to the networking since recently.

Something I've yet come up with a good solution for that I feel should be much more common and simple, maybe you can point me to the right direction for (and maybe the answer is iptables, urgh):

(Containerized) P2P software that should be routed through some other endpoint before reaching/beaing reachable from the network.

Example: Bitcoin full node or Bittorrent node running in a Docker container on one of my home servers (where the host runs other software too). For all intents and purposes I want the nodes to route traffic through a VPS in some other DC (in this case bridged via wireguard). Incoming's easy enough with reverse proxies/load balancers, but with all the UDP traffic on random ports, outgoing TCP connections, etc, I haven't figured out a way to make it not leak my IP in some way.

Feels this should be dead easy but I'm stumped. Oh, and assume no support of SOCKS proxies in the software itself.

I'm aware of hidden onion services but talking clearnet here.
Your comment made me realize this is true now. Through the 80s it was the other way around. You counted as having a language with a spec, even if there was no implementation, but an implementation without a spec was a "toy"
> I do eshew all RGB though, maybe that makes me a filthy casual by some arbitrary standard

I’d say what makes you a “casual” is that you didn’t list a multiplayer game. If you’re not sweating against other players, then you probably prefer to keep it casual. That’s fine!

But if I can’t play Overwatch, the latest Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov, etc on Linux, then I wouldn’t bother. I think it’s more about multiplayer when talking about casual vs more serious.
This is what nightmares are made of.

> We’ve learned that having a function that deletes your database is too dangerous to have lying around.

Indeed, anything that might compromise the data, anything that might involve deletion anyway, should require manual confirmation whether you manage the database or it's a service provided.

Sadly, I learned this the hard way too, but at least it was a single column with a non-critical date and not the entire database.
I'm onboard with Haidt's description of the problem.

I was much less impressed with his prescription for mitigating it. Apparently if we all just clap louder, Tinkerbell will fly.

Maintenance and Care: Fixing a Broken World
This is exactly the content I’m looking for. Thank you.
They're referring to testing people who aren't sick. I don't know how much it's done in studies in order to get asymptomatic estimates, but we definitely don't try to test everyone who was only exposed, like we are with SARS-CoV-2.
How about protestors using it to exchange information while avoiding any observable electronic transmission?
You can look at Smalltalk, which is a great example where names parameters without parens works great. But that doesn't mean that named parameters with parens are bad, yet that's what GP is suggesting. (For context, he's the designer/implementor of Obj-Smalltalk that runs on the Obj-C runtime.)
On the topic of WireGuard, I just thought I’d share wgcf that discovered recently. It generates the configs and keys you need to connect to CloudFlare’s Warp+ from any WireGuard client. I used it on my router so I can use Warp+ with my entire network.

...but why would excess lockdown deaths happen in a uniformly distributed way? Lockdown itself wasn't applied in a uniform fashion: hospitals figured out pretty quickly that lack of care was killing people and modified policies to mitigate that damage. My own advice to friends and family was "probably best not to go to the hospital for that" in March, and back to normal in April when I realized that the numbers weren't as bad as portrayed. Anecdotally, all of the deaths I mentioned happened close to the beginning of lockdown in their respective countries.

Again, this isn't idle speculation: genuine mainstream health authorities believe lockdown has killed significant numbers of people. This is not a controversial position.
You have to put a lot of thought into protecting and backing up production databases, and backups are not good enough without regular testing of recovery.

I have been running Postgres in production supporting $millions in business for years. Here's how it's set up. These days I use RDS in AWS, but the same is doable anywhere.

First, the primary server is configured to send write ahead logs (WAL) to a secondary server. What this means is that before a transaction completes on the master, she slave has written it too. This is a hot spare in case something happens to the master.

Secondly, WAL logs will happily contain a DROP DATABASE in them, they're just the transaction log, and don't prevent bad mistakes, so I also send the WAL logs to backup storage via WAL-E. In the tale of horror in the linked article, I'd be able to recover the DB by restoring from the last backup, and applying the WAL delta. If the WAL contains a "drop database", then some manual intervention is required to only play them back up to the statement before that drop.

Third is a question of access control for developers. Absolutely nobody should have write credentials for a prod DB except for the prod services. If a developer needs to work with data to develop something, I have all these wonderful DB backups lying around, so I bring up a new DB from the backups, giving the developer a sandbox to play in, and also testing my recovery procedure, double-win. Now, there are emergencies where this rule is broken, but it's an anomalous situation handled on a case by case basis, and I only let people who know what they're doing touch that live prod DB.
From the article, it sounds like our response to the pandemic has eroded democracy and respect for human rights.

The virus is not agentic, and what they describe are intentional acts by human beings.

> It's much harder to deceive 300 million people than it is to deceive a small agency responsible for "arbitrating truth".

In the US, you don't need to deceive 300M people. You just need to deceive enough people (voters, really) to get 270 electoral votes. In 2016, that turned out to be around 63M people.

I'm not arguing with your central point; I do agree that we don't want some central authority deciding what's true and what isn't. But 2016 showed that it was possible to deceive enough people with lies to elect someone who has not really delivered on any of his promises, and has actively hurt most of the people who voted for him. (I won't even get into the toxicity of his political platform as it's not necessary to do so.)

How do we actually combat this? "The solution to bad free speech is more free speech" did not work. I agree that "some non-negligible subset will figure out the truth"; in 2016 that was more than 65M people, but that was not enough. What other options do we have, that don't involve central fact-checking authorities, or, worse, active censorship? I really want to know what they are, because I agree that truth-arbiters and censors are unacceptable.
Not necessarily 15 mins as 0.25, the time can be express in any form.
> The biggest shift has been towards data lake (store everything) away from data cubes (store aggregates).

I don't think this is any shift. The "store everything" has always existed in my experience, that's how the aggregates were built in the first place. The aggregates were for speed and convenience, and you drill-down as necessary, including to the individual record level.

Maybe the shift is people thinking that it's cheaper to just analyze the entire corpus on-demand because we can throw a spark cluster at it?

That’s not what “objective” means.
This article has a large gap in the story: it ignores sensor data sources, which are both the highest velocity and highest volume data models by multiple orders of magnitude. They have become ubiquitous in diverse, medium-sized industrial enterprises and it has turned them into some of the largest customers of cloud providers due to the data intensity. Organizations routinely spend $100M/year to deal with this data, and the workloads are literally growing exponentially. Almost no one provides tooling and platforms that address it. (This is not idle speculation, I’ve run just about every platform you can name through lab tests in anger. They are uniformly inadequate for these data models, everyone relies on bespoke platforms designed by specialists if they can afford the tariff.)

If you add real-time sensor data sources to the mix, the rest of the architecture model kind of falls apart. Requirements upstream have cascading effects on architecture downstream. The deficiencies are both technical and economic.

First, you need a single ordinary server (like EC2) to be able to ingest, transform, and store about 10M events per second continuously, while making that data fully online for basic queries. You can’t afford the latency overhead and systems cost of these being separate systems. You need this efficiency because the raw source may be 1B events per second; even at that rate, you’ll need a fantastic cluster architecture. Most of the open source platforms tap out at 100k events per second per server for these kinds of mixed workloads and no one can afford to run 20k+ servers because the software architecture is throughput limited (never mind the cluster management aspects at that scale).

Second, storage cost and data motion are the primary culprits that make these data models uneconomical. Open source tends to be profligate in these dimensions, and when you routinely operate on endless petabytes of data, it makes the entire enterprise problematic. To be fair, this is not to blame open source platforms per se, they were never designed for workloads where storage and latency costs were critical for viability. It can be done, but it was never a priority and you would design the software very differently if it was.

I will make a prediction. When software that can address sensor data models becomes a platform instead of bespoke, it will eat the lunch of a lot of adjacent data platforms that aren’t targeted at sensor data for a simple reason: the extreme operational efficiency of data infrastructure required to handle sensor data models applies just as much to any other data model, there simply hasn’t been an existential economic incentive to build it for those other data models. I've seen this happen several times; someone pays for bespoke sensor data infrastructure and realizes they can adapt it to run their large-scale web analytics (or whatever) many times faster and at a fraction of the infrastructure cost, even though it wasn't designed for it. And it works.
FWIW, it's working on my S10/Chrome as well.
In 2006 Ubuntu showed me that Linux is easy to install and it looks great. That it breaks with dist upgrade, that I'd better to wait some time after release. Human theme was nice, it got worse with each release. I've never tried Fedora, at least its default theme is nice.
