If you want to shift gears using the carbon drive you have to use an internal gear hub, which has a lot less range than a traditional derailleur and is less efficient. So if you are riding a racing or mountain bike a chain system is probably a better way to go.

Also it looks like you can't shift under load with the internal hubs which is a problem if you are trying to climb hills quickly.
I am increasingly feeling that computers just aren't "for" me anymore. Maybe they never were, and sheer novelty combined with youthful neuroplasticity helped me push through. (I am willing to chalk-up a significant amount of my dissatisfaction to being an "oldster".)

Using computers is significantly less enjoyable for me now than it used to me. Updates being installed without my consent, telemetry and surveillance being forced upon me, loss of functionality when features I use aren't popular enough to warrant continued inclusion in products, and software developers who are actively hostile toward allowing "power users" configuration options all detract from the enjoyment I used to have.
Does K6 deal with the coordinated omission problem?

Gil Tene (Azul Systems) has argued convincingly [1] (slides [2]) that monitoring tools get latency measurement wrong because sudden spikes aren't represented correctly in timings because of averaging and the wrong use of percentiles.

He argues that percentiles simply aren't useful, because, statistically, most requests will experience >= 99.99-percentile response times. All percentiles lie; the only truly useful and realistic number is, in fact, the 100th percentile.

He also argues that the most revealing way to show latency is with a complete histogram.

I haven't used K6 yet, but I've been looking for a good load-testing tool, and intend to try it out.

> We should spend our efforts working to fix that

How?
So the cause of outage boils down to not having a metric on total file descriptors with an alarm if usage gets within 10% of the Max and a faulty scaling plan that should of said "for every N backend hosts we add we must add X frontend hosts". One metric and a couple of lines in a wiki could have saved Amazon what is probably millions in outage related costs. One wonders if Amazon retail will start hedging its bets and go multicloud to prevent impacts on the retail customers from AWS LSE's.
> very Intel MacBook back to 2016 has broken thermals. They're all running at maybe half their rated clock speed.

Are you saying it's an unfair comparison? The Intel Macs are operating in the same environment as the M1 Macs. It doesn't matter if the Intel parts could be faster in theory, because you're still dealing with battery and size constraints. If you want unthrottled Intel CPU in a laptop, your only options are 6 pound, 2 inch thick gaming laptops with 30 minutes of battery life. Now comparing that (or worse, a desktop) to M1 is unfair.
That's sort of funny because in the US, I'd have said the more common issue would be an excess of sugar and salt over the what's really required for preservation and taste.
Unless I'm mistaken, the efficiency gain is from shortening the length of the pivoting pins to just what's required for connecting the conventional outside chain links to the saddles.

In a conventional chain the pins cross the sprocket teeth and must rotate across that entire width; more frictional loss.

In this design the saddle seats on the tooth, and just the relatively short pins linking the saddle to the outside chain must pivot.
Funny how this gets brought up every time there's bread-lines in Capitalist America.

Meanwhile, this word was invented by actual Nazis, to justify their abuses Eastward. It spun out of control into crazed conspiracy theories of "Russian Jews looting Ukraine of Food".

Well. I was expected to be able to do my homework, get good grades, and not get in trouble in school. I was “smart but didn’t apply myself”.

ADHD wasn’t an excuse to “not try”.

At school I got told I could do these things and just needed to “believe in myself” and I wasn’t trying to do that either.
I have seen maybe one driveshaft based bike, and I’m European, and that was at the school of mechanical engineering.

I have the new MBP and I can tell you its a remarkable machine. Of course you need to check which SW you need to run and if it works (I assume it will). I guess everything else, native versions, will come with time.
I always assumed they were sequential per-region rather than per-stream, but that’s just a guess.
All the more reason to invent something that improves upon it, since love it or not, it's a must have tool.
Fair enough, though I’m still not convinced everyone who posts a Twitter link should be banned. There are plenty of interesting on topic things I’ve Twitter I’ve found on here that I enjoyed learning from far from any off topic or political content. I can’t speak to Parler, but even 4chan is known to have its intelligent content, just the culture over there doesn’t really lead to things being discussed in a way that HN would appreciate (nor do I appreciate it all the time)

FWIW I’m less convinced this is a troll account now, I’ve just become weary of brand new throw aways sharing their “hot takes” and not much else.
Purposely believing in something that you know is most likely to be incorrect is difficult to me. In this case you have to think illogically on purpose in order to have any chance at succeeding.

But that kind of belief doesn't foster the mindset of "if I fail, that's just life and I will move forward." Having that much confidence in accomplishing something means staking my self-worth on it, because this is a test of my own effort and nobody else's. The results begin and end with my actions only, and the things I want are too important to me to not take seriously. If those things are what I ultimately want to spend my time on Earth succeeding in before I die, then not succeeding is devastating to my mental health.

I don't understand how not to think like this, because every real success I've fought for and won came as a result of believing my life was over if I didn't succeed. In some cases I really would become poor or have no future if I didn't succeed, so it grants too much legitimacy to the method.
There are currently about 5 billion internet users.

For each 12 TB they purchase for logging DNS queries per day, they could store a bit over 2KB per user. Assuming reasonable compression, they shouldn’t be spending more than 2-4B to log each request, so they can store 500-1000 queries per user.

My guess is they could store everything, but choose to apply some aggregation.
People concerned with dirt do not concern themselves with chain efficiency but rather stuff that removes dirt.
It's possible that M1 has enabled the use of better memory compression algorithms.
So the marketing company out of Utah is greedy, wonder what terms they would offer if you paid upfront something ?

I have a friend selling his house and land in Montana for $4.5 million, he got connected with some "internet / social media" marketing company who did a similar deal, we take nothing upfront, but if you sell your house for the listed price - - - you owe us $100,000. Deal went South, house and land did not sell, so no money changed hands.

You should have cut a deal for like only 10%, plus possibly an extra 2 or 3% for anything over $100,000 to motivate them, otherwise walk out the door, they probably have enough fools caving into their deals.

We wanted something like Blaze (Google's system); at the time we were using Buck which didn't satisfy us (e.g. only one output per genrule, no directories; and it was more or less impossible to write first-class support for a new language without modifying the core system). Subsequently Bazel got released but we still find that a bit lacking in some areas; e.g. the CLI, the JVM reliance and some of Starlark (e.g. it maintains Python 2 syntax compatibility so can't have type annotations).

We'd also tried Gradle previously but that was pretty awful for anything non-Java which made it a non-starter.

To be clear, I'm one of the original implementors, although I imagine that was obvious already...
Internal hubs are amazing and so great to use, until you get a puncture. It’s such a nightmare and I went through so many of those dumb proprietary nuts that strip so easily.
Bikes like the Cannondale Bad Boy have got me thinking, what if the single fork was at the rear? Then you could have an internal hub and change the tube without the extra suffering. Yes, the loading at the read would be significantly greater, but if it were possible it would make internal hubs much better.
Bazel has its JRE built in its self contained binary. Not sure what you’re referring to.

How will Apple take away your options? That's what's difficult to understand. Either the FOSS/DIY approach has merit and will continue to thrive, or it'll die because it becomes impractical, neither of those courses have anything to do with Apple trying to prevent Joe Bloggs becoming a node in a botnet.

> isn't so difficult to understand, really

You may be confusing "understand" with "imagine"
Close. AIUI, Google was annoyed at people meddling with DNS results, and with ISPs providing terrible DNS performance for their customers.

Google wins when the Internet is fast. Google's goals here are that you can use Websearch quickly and without hotspots etc meddling with traffic. The story is simple: If companies meddle with DNS results, or provide poor performance, then users don't use the Internet as much, and Google doesn't get to sell ads. Google wants you to have the fastest, most reliable Internet it can, because that means you don't get frustrated and go do something else. Google doesn't need to scrape the logs for whatever people think google might be scraping the logs for.

Google _does_ log some data for dealing with abuse (as you can probably imagine 8.8.8.8 gets a _lot_ of intentional and unintentional abuse), but tries to be as clear as it can be about what gets logged, what it's used for, and how long it's kept. Google treats these logs very very carefully, carefully limiting who has access, and when you need to use the logs to debug something, it's very carefully audited.

Disclaimer: I used to be one of the SREs oncall for Google Public DNS (but not any more – I now work for a different SRE team at Google).
> a lot less range

Maybe in the more popular implementations like from Shimano. But there's internal hubs with greater ratio spread than chained: The Rohloff:

Bazel has a lot of things "missing" that had to be cut out from the OSS release. Things like grpc rule sets are extremely fragmented right now. It's a bit of A saying "the B team should maintain the rules" and B saying "the A team should maintain the rules". As such almost every single language has inconsistent support for everything: code coverage, protobuf, grpc, external dependency management, IDE integration. Also because there's no stubby, sponge, or other cool internal tools a lot of the benefits from blaze as a system are not externalized.

Also, the docker support in Bazel is pretty "different". It's not bad, but it's not immediately obvious to newcomers how this is meant to work.

It's getting better every day though.

I don't think they are claiming any power is transferred by the other side, just that it forces a more uniform fit and distributed the power transfer over more teeth.
Bazel doesn’t need the JVM as it’s built into its self contained binary.

This is very false. Least squares regression fitting, Chebychev polynomial approximation, and maximum likelihhod estimators all existed at the time and those are all classic examples of standard machine learning. The term “machine learning” essentially encompasses any type of algorithm that expresses inductive statistical reasoning. Even just elementary school descriptive statistics is machine learning. “Machine learning” is a super old subfield of applied mathematics. The fact that the terminology “machine learning” didn’t exist until things like perceptron and SVMs came along is utterly irrelevant semantic hairsplitting.
Different ebikes land in different regulatory classifications. Your buddy's "ebike" is legally a moped (US). Class 3 ebikes can only assist up to 28 mph. The people riding that model on bike paths that do not permit mopeds are breaking the law, just as if they rode any other moped on that path.
For every key stroke a new immutable string is created with the content of the file/state. Plus data structure for AST/static analysis of every file in the project including dependencies. Plus another copy of the file for rendering with syntax highlight. One would think all this copying of data is very inefficient, but computers are good at moving data around. The most costly is rendering the glyphs.
And I would have considered that to be large 20 years ago, because it would have filled an entire CD-ROM disc, and it would have taken over five hours to download.

However, I still have somewhere over 100 GB free on my seven-year-old laptop, and the download will take me ~40 seconds.

But even if the 600MB were a problem, Bazel doesn’t need an external version of the JVM. It bundles its own, and fits the whole thing in under 50MB. Some people are under the mistaken impression that you have to install the JVM first and then install Bazel, which is simply not true.
My relatives, two and three generations later, flatly refuse to throw away bread. This results in a refrigerator that has a plastic bag of miniscule sliced bread heel bits of indeterminate age in it, but I honestly can't fault them. Some memories die hard.

I’m not sure you can “swing too far” toward emphasizing grit and perseverance. We need to realize that we are actually talking about two different things here: (1) what is true as a matter of sociological and economic fact; and (2) what is the most useful and beneficial world view in which to socialize children.

The two things aren’t necessarily the same. I think about this a lot in the context of the culture of former colonies. I’m from Bangladesh, which was colonized by the British for several centuries (not to mention Islamic empires before that). As a matter of historical fact, the British Empire imposed many capital- and wealth-destroying and transferring policies on the Indian subcontinent. It’s fair to say that development in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh runs into barriers that are the result of that history—that the world is “hard and unfair” as a result.

How should that shape culture on the Indian subcontinent going forward? In my view, almost not at all. The UK is a shadow of its former self and isn’t going to write a multi-trillion check any time soon. What’s true or not historically doesn’t really have any bearing on how Bangladeshis should see the world. The legacy of colonialism is just another thing to be overcome through grit and perseverance, no different than natural phenomenon like flooding or drought. When it comes to socializing children to view the world a certain way, what other view could possibly be more helpful?

So... don't buy it? Unless you think it's the best hardware on the market at the best price point.

And what makes you so important that every hardware provider has to bend to your will? I can't run Shor's Algorithm on my Raspberry Pi, whose fault is that?
With sufficiently large population, someone will randomly win against unlikely odds. For example, if there is a 1% chance your startup will succeed, but one million people try it, statistically one of them will have 3 successful startups in a row even without being better than average.

Though, realistically, the chance should increase for the following attempts, because you can reuse some resources and contacts you gained with the first success. The first startup is like "I need to succeed within three years, or return to a regular job to pay my bills". But if it succeeds, the second startup is like "I can keep trying as long as I want to, no pressure".
just migrate to Linux.
Do you think it's really that odd that they wouldn't want someone publishing releases from beta OS/Libraries?

Given how everything else you talked about could be turned off. Do you think that would be a better default? to allow system libraries and such to be altered? and that the protection would need to be explicitly turned on instead?
I optimized my workflow by creating a supersimple Chrome Browser Extension that allows to synchronize issues automatically, so that they are available for future offline use.

I'm working a lot abroad or while not being connected to fast internet (2G slow), so it was kinda pain to wait for issues to load, just to get started with work.

This was my approach to fix this, and to be able to manage my work when being offline. I thought maybe someone else likes it, too - and has the same issues with github issues :)
I'm not sure that's true.

SRAM already went with their own non-compatible design with their latest road groups (AXS road). Bottom bracket "standards" have proliferated over the last 20 years (all 8 of the bikes in my garage use a different system). Hub spacing is non-standard too (100mm/130mm QR, 100/135 QR, 100/135 TA, 100/142 TA, 110/148 TA, Superboost, DH, and a few other niche standards). Even within a brand, there's no guarantee shifters and detailers are compatible.

Basically, the industry has "standards" but only keeps them long enough to develop the next. Gotta keep us buying $5000+ bicycles somehow.
It's not you, nor is it your age. We've given up on protecting our freedoms, and our devices aren't really our own anymore.

And you have people like the die hard Apple apologists / enablers that think it's fine you can't build stuff for iPhone without going through Apple.

We're about to enter a trusted computing dystopia. You won't be able to run software on your laptops or desktops, and everything will be tracked.

The web was the perfect platform and would have been utopia. Google sunk their claws in and neutered the browser, removing the concept of the URL, forced media companies to use AMP, and crippled ad/tracker blocking.

Silos like Facebook rank content that isn't hosted internally lower, so the open web has atrophied.

And iPhone has a shitty browser so it can favor apps.

I don't hate computers. I hate the grifters and gaslighters that have taken the good parts away and told us our way of thinking is the problem.

Almost nothing prevents them from retroactively applying a new policy to old data.

Even in cases where using the data would directly violate a contract, bankruptcy courts / acquisition agreements routinely sell the data off as an “asset” and nullify any restrictions from existing agreements.

A change in the law that kept the copyright of personal data with the individual the data was about would improve the situation somewhat, but it’s probably safer to just ban the collection of this sort of data set (unless there’s explicit opt-in, and people derive no benefit from opting in).
Maybe an implant of poison coated in a shell that degrades predictably with appropriate kinetics, and you just swap the implant every few months. Seems like quite the materials engineering challenge though - it would have to stay intact for a long time then degrade rapidly.

In the end nations are the quintessential form of human political organization and they rest upon the ideas of shared history, culture and patriotism. Your attempts at equating patriotism with chauvinism and aggressive nationalism don't provoke revulsion, they just cause confusion as to what could move you to assert such absurdities.

Words have clear meanings. You could save everyone some time by being precise instead of launching into pointless crusades.
The problem is the number of people who actually care.

Look at the number of people who continue to use Facebook despite a long history of sketchy behavior with people's information and shady security practices.

Nobody cares.

We now have two generations of people who grew up with no privacy and don't care about it. This is a growing trend that people who are in those generations are starting to believe we need MORE suppression of speech. MORE suppression of ideas THEY deem dangerous to the state. The number of people who really believe and promote privacy is shrinking. The amount of people who feel this is normal is outpacing those trying to fight for their privacy.

The old analogy of the frog in the boiling water is apt here. So many kids have grown up not expecting privacy so why care now? To them it doesn't matter. To other's its already too late.
