I added integration for Zipkin in via Opencensus some time ago into a project I work on. This has been running in production for a while now:
https://github.com/Netflix/titus-executor/tree/master/vpc/se...

You need to:

1. Have an Opencensus tracing context

2. Have query logging setup on your PG server. There are a bunch of ways to do this with minimal overhead. You can log slow queries (say queries >5ms), or log queries that fail, or sample queries.

Your query / log ends up getting something like:

2020-11-11 21:00:00 UTC:titusvpcservice@titusvpcservice:
[60294]:HINT: The transaction might succeed if retried.
2020-11-11 21:00:00 UTC:titusvpcservice@titusvpcservice:
[60294]:STATEMENT: /* md: {"spanID":"34c1a9f38fb44cad"} */
INSERT INTO assignments(branch_eni_association, assignment_id) VALUES ($1, $2) RETURNING id

You can then look at a Zipkin, and use the value within MD (spanID) to get the trace. I did this originally, because I wanted to transparently wrap the PG SQL Driver for Zipkin. Postgres can be oblivious to the fact there's "Zipkin Inside", because it's a terminal node. You can get the span ID from the BEGIN TRANSACTION / first query, and then tie that to the pid and timestamp, and then use that to go back and look through things with standard(ish) postgres introspection, since almost all of it has the pg_backend_pid + timestamp in it.

A while ago when I was single I tried using online dating apps for a while but ultimately I met someone in real life and it's going well. Previous relationships were also people I met in real life. Don't get discouraged if online dating doesn't work for you either. It didn't work for me. I know it's hard during COVID, but work on yourself in the meantime, and COVID will be over sooner or later.

Online dating just never worked for me, for the same reasons you describe. I think part of it is a combination of paradox of choice and part of it is people just not having faith in technology finding them something human. I went on dates where the other person sooner or later doubted the possibility of marrying someone they met online, and it usually degenerated from there into either friendship or nothing.

There's also the weird social expectation on many apps that males should message first, which results in females getting spammed, which then further results in females not messaging first, and the cycle perpetuates.

As a technology lover I really want online dating to work in bringing more compatible people together and increase overall societal happiness by increasing the average quality of marriage, but time and time again it seems to me that the best way to bring compatible people together is with offline events. Compatible people tend to want to go to similar places and do similar things, and any successful online dating app really should exploit that fact.

In fact, the most successful organizations I have seen at bringing together singles into stable marriages were not even explicitly about dating. I've seen far more stable couples form at mixed-gender sports teams, hiking groups, volunteer organizations, conference organizing teams, and other professional organizations where participants largely cared about the same causes.
Very relevant point. The end result of any individual sound is entirely dependant upon the other sounds accompanying it within the same physical space.

Just as a file isn't only a file, but an entity in a filesystem, a sound is not just a sound, but an entity in a sound environment.
I just note their names in the file name. If there are too many, I make a copy of the photo, bring it up in an image editor, and type the names of the people next to their heads. It works like a champ.
If you delete from Google Photos on the web from your desktop, the iPhone client will prompt you to allow deletion of those same photos from your iPhone’s Photos app (and hence iCloud, I think).

So, just do your deletion on the Google Photos web client on desktop. The culled photos will be culled from Apple Photos as well.

As an outsider I'm puzzled how any TS library repo keeps up with the pace of change in TS. With JS you can more or less write it once.

Oh, there's a lot more stuff that can be done to guns:

1) improve aim: embed wind and angle sensors, possibly even battlefield intel (position, weather, land layout) to account for any drift that might impact the bullet. Also, auto-fire if a designated target is in the crosshair (train the AI on human faces, combine with the previous sensoring). I would not be surprised if this technology will be developed rather sooner than later with armed robots, and then made smaller until it fits in a gun or at least a rifle.

2) improve/rethink propulsion. Right now almost all guns operate by some form of bullet in a casing with explosive propellant (excluding the rare caseless guns and co2/pressured gas sports guns). Railguns are already a thing at "ship scale", it will be only a matter of time until it gets scaled down to hand-held guns.

3) improve projectiles. Right now bullets are dumb pieces of metal. Why not have active bullets (e.g. subminiature rockets) or bullets laced with poisons so that even a scrape kills in the end?

4) improve... guns themselves, as a concept - think laser guns a la Star Trek, highly focused microwave, sound or other energy.

In the end humanity will always improve ways to kill each other, and all the concepts are already there in sci-fi (and in the case of poison bullets, the Russians made it a reality with the Markov murder).
The actual representation you want wouldn't be a regular graph, but a graph distinguishing theorems and proofs, where the antecedents of theorems are proofs of those theorems, and the antecedents of proofs are theorems they rely on. This kind of graph seems like it should come up regularly enough to have a special name, but I haven't been able to find one.

One important property to note is that a fair number of theorems exist where you can prove A with B or prove B with A, so the underlying directed graph is definitely very cyclic.

Kind of. HTTP was designed with caching in mind, so the idea was that if you GET a page it should more or less not change and you could add headers and stuff to instruct proxy servers about whether to cache or not and for how long. I think you could use HEAD then to check if a page had changed ...

The browser cache used to actually be quite dependable as an offline way to view pages but this seems to have fallen out of favour in the mid naughties. I remember how disgusted I was when I realised Safari was no longer me letting see a page unless it could contact the server and download the latest version.

I used to have a caching proxy server that would basically MITM my browsing and be more vigilant than even the cache and it really worked quite well. This was back in the 90s when every bit of your max 54kbs counted, or when you wanted to read something while your Dad or sister wanted to also use the phone.

Anyway, you can no longer take this approach because bad people broke the Internet and now you have to have a great honking opaque TLS layer between you and the caching servers so there's no way for this optimisation to work any more.

Of course it isn't really as important these days because we've got faster connections and interactions with the server are far less transactional and richer. But I still would like to have a way of tracking my own webusage and being able to go back in time without having to actually revisit each and every site.

These days you have to hack the browser because that's where your TLS endpoint emerges. Kaspersky tried this for their HTTP firewall application and there was ructions over that.

I'll defo take a look at this. Sounds just like what I've been looking for.

> Isn't this how the internet was supposed to work in the first place? I remember Netscape navigator having a 'go offline' icon in the corner.

Thinking back actually, if you forget about "the web"/HTTP - then yes actually - this is exactly how usenet worked and now I'm remembering that the "go offline" button used to download all your newsgroups along with your email and stuff so you could look at it all offline :-)

If you want something that's like Usenet these days check out Scuttlebut.

I've been waiting for their apps to be snappier and have better offline support for almost 2 years. I'm so glad to have found Joplin. It also supports E2E encryption so damn well. Support for plugins was also recently added and that's a big plus.
Ohh... I get it, because Apple, and bugs like apples, where as with Android they wouldn't really have anything to eat, just electronics, metal and wires... Very smart, very smart indeed!
Honda ‘Traffic Jam Pilot’ Offers Standby Self-Driving by March 2021
aka "1/3 will use Baidu and 2/3 will use Bing"
While true, I feel this is more conducive in unforced, organic encounters. i.e. if you and the other person meet and interact in some other group or activity that has nothing to do with dating.

In an online dating situation, you have extremely little to determine what the other person is like, so appearances (photo) becomes significantly more weighted. You look at the photo, find him/her unattractive, and move on.

Whereas in a more organic situation, you may find the person unattractive at first meet, but as you interact with them, decide otherwise.
No way right now. I do think that self hosting takes away most benefits we provide.

Hopefully open source soon!

Ahhh gotcha! Yes, that's actually one, decent sized pro for doing an event driven monolith haha

With that said, in a monolith - there is still a chance of missed events - deploy, bugs, etc. and at that point, you'd still want to employ replay to get your system back into a good state.

Your initial question was about missed events - replay is still the answer and if you design your system with idempotency - you will be able to reingest events (even if they're dupes).
Not sure how this is different from something like Dropbox (which stores stuff on S3 iirc). So technically, you can have Dropbox people looking through your stuff, and you can also have Amazon people looking through your stuff. Obviously, if this ever happens without a good reason, employees that do this can get fired and/or sued (and the company itself might also be held liable). Everything is also logged, so there's a paper trail. I skimmed over both the T&C and the Privacy Policy and it doesn't really seem that Notion breaks from this norm.

Why would you need any "server side" logic in PG?
> I think offering something for free and unlimited for 10 years and suddenly charging for it seems like bait and switch.

Wouldn't it be 'bait and switch' if they did that after less time, say 1 year? 10 years is more than reasonable. And if you disagree, that's fine, but I'm curious to hear what number of years would you consider reasonable then? I'm not excited about the news either but I think it's _fair_.
Zettlr.
The compute-intensive part of that task is the hashing function, for which common CPU extensions are cheaply available.
It works quite well, you can forget about src/ lib/ directories, just structure package as you want (ie files at the root), generate js files along ts in the same directory (relative paths to assets stay the same, import paths are the same in js/ts, very useful), add in vscode rule to auto hide .js file if .ts with the same name exists `{"files.exclude":{"/*.js":{"when":"$(basename).ts"}}}` - coding is pleasure, you just see and work with ts, no need to generate js files most of the time (on prepublish yes) etc.
That's vulnerable to a different sort of hijacking -- SEO spammers recreating blogs with URLs of deleted sites that previously had a lot of incoming links. It'd also risk destroying historically important content that was published in "one-off" Blogspot sites.

I met my wife on a dating app. I had met several women through dating apps and was pretty burnt out on all the dates and messaging. People are pretty fake via msg and you can figure it out quickly in person. After awhile I decided I'd just go back to the normal way of meeting people and it would be more sincere. I figured I'd meet someone when out with my friends or co workers, at a wedding, whatever.

I was about to delete my OK Cupid account and she msg'd first, sending me something kind of clever and we met up for a beer. Before the date I decided it would be my last dating app date. Friday is our 2nd anniversary.
My wife has been pretty accommodating for any nerdery I want to engage in for taking care of the kids. The only project she really put her foot down on (and probably correctly so) was about building a crib myself. She figured there were a lot of safety standards about materials, size, bar spacing, etc. that were best left to the professionals.
It is a sad reflection on HN that comments like this are so aggressively downvoted.
Back in the nineties the web was fairly new and people still used a thing called usenet quite a bit. You interacted with it kind of like email (Google groups is actually the final vestiges of it) - and the go offline button would just download all your emails and newsgroups and you got peruse them offline at your pleasure. It might seem strange also that back in those days you downloaded your emails from a server using POP3 rather than looking at them remotely (e.g. Web or IMAP), and you viewed them offline.
I have all the photos in a single folder, i would not like to change that, especially because some photos should appear in multiple albums. How do you manage that?

“IBM says it is 3X more expensive to manage PCs than Macs - Saving up to $535 per Mac per four years in comparison to PCs”

This was in 2015 I think. Anyway, large businesses will look at TCO rather than purchase price. If Apple can perform better in that metric, they will be preferred, and vice versa.

These days, 15GB of photos is pretty close to nothing. If I go on a trip for a week to take pictures, I can easily shoot 50-100GB of images. (Using my full-frame DSLR, shooting in raw, average image size is over 50MB, meaning < 20 images per GB).
Living in a hurricane zone makes prepping a once a year event if you’re just a bit smart, we stock water, canned food, snacks, dry groceries (pasta, beans) alternate cooking fuel (propane), batteries, a few gas cans, rope, tarp. Not hard to do, just rotate the food once the season is over, the rest can last forever. The idea is not to survive a zombie apocalypse but just a few weeks without power or a light flood.

Yeah, exactly, even though it might be terribly inefficient, I still trust scientific code more when it's written by scientists than when it's written by non-scientists, in terms of getting the right answer.
Hello,

I did appreciate reading your article. However I’m not sure on the quality of the feedback given by the reddit crowd regarding your previous home lab setup.

Reason:

1. Using pre loved (= second hand) rack servers in the living room with redundant PSUs will cause a lot of trouble with every female living in the same household. It is too noisy....

2. Consumer grade hardware is pretty reliable nowadays. I had no failure for quite some years despite the fact that I’m operating my machines on the upper limit of their thermal specifications. (I have a GPU cluster and a cluster of RPis)

3. Ryzens or Even a ThreadRipper is much more power efficient than the good old Xeon E5s. Thus you may have a lower operating cost.
You get a few months of lead time to get the house ready. Don’t waste it.
This looks like an excellent resource. Thank you.

The rendering of some of the Latex code does seem to be bit of a challenge; I see some intermingled code/text (on latest Mozilla on Ubuntu 18). The CPU usage also shoots up.

Hello, I doubt the OP ever met me but I started a PhD to study what I'm really interested in.

I have a stipend from my scholarship which is about half of the money I was making as a software developer before I started my PhD. So I took a big salary cut. It was (is) totally worth it. Not for any prospect of securing tenure but for the freedom to follow my intellectual curiosity.

> likely just their indices and metadata

notes.txt will work just fine, then, even for several thousand photos. I don't see a need for a database until you've got far more than that. The tree file system works tolerably well as a "database".

As for searching, I know how to use "grep" and "locate".
For me, the longer iOS animations makes iPhones feel slower than many Android phones. Not caching apps for long periods also affects the app loading speed.
As someone who wants to replace a bunch of stuff in Jira with Notion I have never really perceived performance problems, but I guess it isn't the snappiest.

Please don't misunderstand, with your 45 years of computing experience. :) (which I highly respect) I never said the files are stored in sqlite. They are just indexed in sqlite. The files are stored on disk like normal.
But then your proxy would need to do the TLS termination. Which is both kinda cumbersome to set up probably, and also it means you can no longer look at the certificates for your connections.

For me GDPR was a make or break. I know I'm putting faith in Notion staff to follow GDPR guidelines because if they accessed my information without an extremely good reason it would be a breach.

The only other option would be for me to create my own solution, and while I could do that, I don't have the time or the desire to do it.

I think you got to be careful and read the TOS and know what you're in for. For example, I stopped using the free version of Grammarly after I found out they weren't GDPR compliant and their support wouldn't confirm if they were going to be GDPR compliant. A year later I evaluated Grammarly again and they were, so I subscribed to Grammarly premium.

However some companies are so egregious in their lack of respect of privacy that I will never trust them again, for example Facebook. Others are so impossible to get away from, like Google, that I limit my exposure as much as possible.

Bottom line is be aware of how your privacy will be handled and make sure you're conscious of the trade off decisions you're making.
The ground they run through certainly is
Empirically, gun accidents are very rare. They are scary, but it's often the less-scary stuff that gets you.

Obviously you should be careful, and of you're not, I'm sure the odds are a lot worse. But empirically, it seems most people handle guns somewhat safely. Perhaps because they are scary.

That being said, if you don't feel comfortable being safe with a gun, don't get one. Or maybe you just don't want one more thing to worry about.
You don't need the other software on a system to be audited for security compliance. You just need to know that it is not actively malicious. So any run of the mill Linux or BSD not running proprietary software.
Yeah lots of different options here, mostly surprised they didn't talk about why they didn't choose any of the alternatives.
