I understand the desire to "reel in" more readers than a post might otherwise warrant, but in my experience you're better off not promising general advice if you're not providing it.

For example, you might say, "How we configure TiDB on AWS to handle XXX transactions per second for XXX/month", or "Squeezing the highest TiDB performance from AWS m5 instances". There are definitely interesting ways to title posts in a way that's supported by the content.

For Docker, virtualization framework is fine and provides everything we need. There is no framebuffer on hypervisor framework. There will be an arm qemu port for hypervisor framework fairly soon. I have Docker running on M1 with VF see https://twitter.com/justincormack/status/1331965304273047553
Using the phase "bcash" is unfortunately more than enough for me to understand that you are just another troll who doesn't care about Bitcoin.

Thats fine, most people don't care.
I agree with your point. That being said, something to be said about the decreasing ROI of R&D - There is evidence that the rate of return of all capital investment is going down slowly since the 50s, in the US.
This seems to not really be about Java and more be that C++ is complex and error prone. If you reframe it as "C++ may not be the best choice for high speed trading systems" instead, then you can evaluate other languages, like Rust, or Erlang, or OCaml, or any of the newfangled C++ "replacements" like Zig.
Yes, using PCIe expansion cards. I know of an AMD board that ships with 5 (3 on the board, 2 with a PCIe card). Could easily add more.
I think the problem with nuclear energy is that it requires prior investment and return on investment is a little bit long(more than 4 years) and doesn't create enough jobs to be a sexy political option.

"PHP was serverless before there was serverless"

However there is a difference: PHP has no deployment system included. But if you build that (not too hard) the difference isn't big ... (But with Lambda&others you outsource the management)
"easily" as in "an average user can do this (and discover instructions how to) without too much difficulty"?
Put succinctly, that's precisely what it is. I like to expound a bit for context, so that part might be cultural :)
Yes, stacked reviews absolutely are a game-changer for a sane commit history and iterating patches over a few rounds of review.
I feel that if you're an island like Japan, Singapore, or New Zealand, or effectively isolated like Korea (3 sea borders + 1 land border which is permanently closed, and land-mined) then maybe the amount of power your government has isn't the key factor in keeping your country safe from a pandemic.

The procedures used in NYC aren't drastically different from Singapores', but the key difference is that Manhattan cannot close its borders to the rest of the 50 US States.

When people ask for a strong government in the US, its' within that context. They want a government that could enforce quarantines between different states, locking people into one state or another till the virus burns itself out. That's the way it worked in China, but is legally impossible to do in the US.

The US can have minor quarantines (an apartment, a city block, etc.) but we can't legally quarantine a whole city, much less states.
In an odd way I’m not really surprised. We Europeans tend to like European cars and especially German. Tesla has gained positive traction as it filled a technology vacuum (that they helped create), but it is illusionary to believe that it is the superior choice for most customers once the mainstream manufacturers enter the market full throttle.
I recently decided to buy a BMW 330e (PEV) at a similar price point of a Tesla model 3 here in Denmark. That surprised even myself as I intended to go for the 3 after many years of wanting a pure electric. I simply couldn’t make the price point match the overall quality of the vehicle. Purely anecdotally, but I believe that many less-fanatic with new tech may choose similarly.
Surprisingly php these days is actually pretty fast even on forking webserver such as apache. This annoy me to no end because I prefer to use python and django and it can't match php performance on apache even though it handles http requests directly.
Right now it's a bit more specialized to storage oriented server platforms that can run in the 10-40 NVMe devices. You get this sort of imbalance where any one or two high performance NVMe devices at full throughput can push more I/O than a single high end network link
Oh right ^^ that’s actually one really cool thing about php web apps, no easy denial of service attacks
Byteshift Elements – A VueJS-like reactive zero-dependency micro-framework
There's a very niche conference called eBPF Summit* that has presentations from people at companies with first class engineering orgs talking about what they are doing with eBPF. The problems they are solving and the breadth of problems being solved are very impressive.

The article is not even remotely suggesting removing type information. On the contrary, it's talking about some ways to augment a type checker with different grammar or ways of constructing APIs.
The way the D compiler does it is by parsing until it finds an error, marking the node as "poisoned" then walking back up until it can keep going.

It seems to work although I would include a "fail early" flag just to help with enormous error messages (if you apply the principle to sema as well)
There's a great book, The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt, that covers a lot of this. From what I remember, experiments have been done that show your body can react to stimuli before there is actual neurological activity, seeming to indicate that a lot of our rational thinking about reacting to things is an illusion, and is actually outside of our conscious control. We only justify our actions after the fact. I highly recommend the book; it was quite eye-opening to me when I read it.

I cannot find the specific articles, but there were security researchers who would find some sort of apple problem and would be contacted by apple and go dark. This was probably the era when osx was getting off the ground. I assume they were protecting their brand, but I always thought it was a little ingenuine (on the other hand, security researchers are not all college professors with good intentions)

I think apple finally had to cave when there problems too large to ignore.

œ works fine with mb_strlen(). What might have been tripping you up is combining character sequences:

https://3v4l.org/DM4pC

Handling those "correctly" with a string length function gets complicated in any language, as there isn't a 1-to-1 mapping between Unicode codepoints and visible glyphs.
> And investment banking does?

Whataboutism.
io_uring is no more specialized than an SSD is today, our storage interfaces went from handling between 1 and 4 requests in parallel for the past 50 years to suddenly handling literally hundreds on consumer grade hardware (IIRC NVMe is specced either for up to 64k queue depth or unlimited queue depth). Of course the software environment must change to keep up, is it really reasonable to continue feeding such devices one IO at a time because that's how it was done in 1970?

It is not fun to program against io_uring just as BPF can be a nightmare, but that's a problem for userspace to solve with libraries and better abstractions, much in the same way userspace usually doesn't have to deal with parsing the shared ELF segment exported by the kernel (glibc does that) or writing complex routines for fetching the system time (the ELF segment does that), both of which are implementation details necessary for extracting the full performance from modern hardware.

We'll catch up eventually, but first the lower level interfaces must exist. In meantime, I cringe Every. Single. Time. I run UNIX find or du over my home directory, realizing it could have completed in a fraction of the time for almost 10 years now if only our traditional software environment was awakened to the reality of the hardware it has long since run on.
Was a specialized real-time JVM used for this? I know real time isn't necessarily low latency, but it sounds like both are desired properties in this sort of situation.
The thing is, NYT has had its own reputation damaged to the point where such preemptive posts may work.
Yes, that range looked odd to me at first glance. But your explanation made me realize that I actually use it all over the place. Except on a 1-5 scale. Starting with good enough at 3 (or 0 in this case):

1 = WTF?

2 = Needs Improvement

3 = Good Enough

4 = Better than Good Enough

5 = Almost Perfect

Daniel Kahneman recommends a scale like this for evaluating job candidates across core competencies. It's a surprisingly powerful little heuristic.
> I'm pretty sure Leopoldo Galtieri wanted the war

100%. The ERP (People's Revolutionary Army) and Montoneros were fighting in the streets of Buenos Aires, so Galtieri and the Military Junta needed a distraction. A big one.

> he started it, after all

This is probably a myth created by the media. A bunch of people, probably fisherman or metallurgic workers raised a flag, and hell broke loose. Things escalated very quickly after that. All we know is that a small group of people raised a flag in one of the island and then Galtieri was at war with the UK, US and NATO. The Military junta killing Argentine people, and going to war with a powerful country, a country that defeated the German Empire. It's crazy! Was the war inevitable? I don't know. Did England over reacted? Who knows. All I know is that Galtieri was a sociopath, and that he died while incarcerated in a Correctional Facility.

> negotiating with dictators doesn't always end well.

This is true, ex: Saddam Hussein, Hitler, etc. But you know what, this was a conflict that could have been resolved by Lady Di in probably 1 day. People in Argentine loved her. She was seen as the Evita of Europe. On the other hand, people in Argentina didn't like Galtieri, and people in England didn't like Tatcher. Unfortunately, no one tried to diffuse the situation in any way. This is sad. Argentina and England were allies from 1810 to 1939, until WWII started and Perón took over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_during_World_War_II The fact that during WWII 4,000 Argentines served with British armed services shows how many British descendants were living in Buenos Aires in the 1900s.
You can opt out by not reporting users. You can already block someone for any reason whatsoever. Nothing requires you to report them.

If you report them to any other place, like police, HR, etc, you'll likely have to show the discussion as well, or at least tell them about its contents.

This is not a slippery slope, at least not right now.
> Well you have an eye for objectivity.

The NYT is far from objective, so this may actually work.
i should say, retail fx trading is 100% garbage. there is absolutely no reason to do it. trading currency futures which are actually centralized, actually transparent and liquid, all while having drastically better market data and platform options make it a no brainer.

but sleezy advertising, low barrier to account creation, lower minimums, less stringent account verification and being able to fund on credit (lol) tends to make sure people who don't know yet what they're doing never get there
Neither ebpf or io_uring are "specialized", in fact they are specifically not specialized which is what makes them revolutionary (along with being better than currently specialized apis like aio).
Fair enough. Makes sense. Thanks for responding and for your article. I did enjoy the read. It's always good to see more stuff on FOSS music production and see how other people work.
Yeah. Languages like C# and Java offer you so much facilities and QOL features compared to C and C++, but in practice you have to give up most of those facilities in order to have it perform almost on par with lower level languages; Even then I think it's still acceptable since you still have the tooling, the facilitated debugging, etc. C# for example, is keeping up with this trend of using higher level languages to code things closer to the metal and with more memory management awareness, and offering more and more features to make that kind of code more performant and with less heap allocations, since C# 7.0 or so: Span<T> for example is a revolution; But I use things like stackalloc, ref, fixed, Unsafe.CopyBlockUnaligned, &MemoryMarshal.GetReference etc, on a daily basis to get that extra performance where it matters;
Interesting. What changes are you making to future Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL instances as a result?
So your comment misses two important points I'm trying to convey:

1) "It's a choice everyone makes for themselves."

You cannot make a choice

(According to Materialist Physics)

You are nothing but random noise.

A random equation cannot 'make' choices, it cannot 'make' anything there is nothing being 'made'.

There is no such thing as 'intelligence' in random noise.

So take a moment to grasp that for a second, because it reveals something about the first part of your statement:

2) "There is obviously no scientific basis in valuing life."

What you mean to say is maybe there is no 'Materialist Scientific Basis' for valuing life. Because according to physics, why should we?

But again from (1) there is no such thing as 'value' or 'emotion' or even 'choice' in random noise - you can see they hypocrisy of the statement.

You're caught in a 'Chinese Finger Trap' of Scientific Materialism.

You cannot on one hand talk about 'choice' 'values' because physics says those would be 'emotional' choices, when at the same time, materialist physics also tells us that there is no choice, emotion, intelligence, consciousness to begin with.

Physics is telling us that you and I are just rocks rolling down a hill. We hit a bump, we go one way or another. That's it. No choice, no intelligence, no science, no discoveries, nothing is 'evolving' - just pure random noise like the fuzzy screen on the old TV sets.

Remember that physics has not proven that the universe exists according to a certain set of rules.

Physics is postulating that. We assume the Universe can be described as a set of equations, so we go about trying to describe things using equations.

Because these equations have been very objectively helpful to us over the last few hundred years, and using them we can get rid of a bunch of fairy tales and ridiculous ideas ... we've come to believe that Physics itself is the search for truth.

But it's not - Physics is only the search for material truth within the constraints that it's set for itself.

By definition, physics may not be able to help us understand the meaning of life because they've resigned themselves to studying the lego blocks of life.

Now consider an alternative: the perspective of 'the observer' and that Science is merely a tool for understanding the Universe around is - that Science is not a 'Truth' but a 'Tool'.

That 'life' is the basis of our existence, and that it expresses itself via materialism, but is not entirely constructed of that materialism.

The only reason we take any real interest in Materialist Science, ironically, is because of our creative impulses.

Obviously - it's abstract, and not prone to equations, and can easily devolve into 'magical thinking' but that doesn't invalidate the ultimate premise of non-materialist thinking.

Below the 'tree trunk' of Physics is 'Metaphysics' and it's worth remember that physics at any given time is only one way of interpreting the universe.

> locked up bootloader is the problem.

Apple has documentation up on how to self-sign your own binaries for installing whatever you want on M1 bare metal.

> proprietary MacOS only drivers

Drivers are specific to an OS, calling them proprietary is redundant. It would be a great service to the community if Apple were to release Linux drivers or at least specs so someone else could write them. But if you want unix running on Mac hardware, the best experience is almost always going to be running MacOS.

(Until of course Apple stops shipping MacOS for the current hardware)
I don't, but my website has an RSS feed you can subscribe to.
Since count is it's own opcodes in the VM and php hashtables keep the number of elements around and don't have to be counted there shouldn't be much difference between reading a variable and calling count.

(Since some time in PHP 7, before that count() went via function call overhead)

To those who wouldn't realize, this message is from the creator of Ardour. I suppose he's tired of hearing the same complaints again and again so he decided to pack them all in a single message.

I'm not going to talk about how much I like Ardour because I feel guilty for not having donated yet.
why? Those three come with the same amount of quirkiness and issues. There is a reason why you have Typescript or golang, for example.
I like flask and express, there are simpler than php franeworks like laravel so I can see why one would prefer using them, but django is weird and I could never get used to it. I always felt like there was too much magic.
> sometimes our thoughts may actually be the result of something happening in our gut, heart, lungs or skin.

Where else would they originate? I can't imagine a brain without any senses having any thoughts at all. I think it's more that a lot of us are secret dualists.
> I am earning my money outside Poland and I understand these car might be expensive for polish standards, but not in e.g. US.

They're expensive by US standards too. They'd only not be expensive by Silicon Valley standards. A Porsche Taycan is a $100k+ car. Very few people own that in the US. Most of the Teslas sold are also expensive cars by US standards too (very few are buying at base price).
Optane has been commercially available for five years already and it's not used in any device I'm aware of. Assuming it will find broad adoption at this point seems like a bad bet.
Brian makes a case about the side effects of self-hosted wallets and decentralized identity (DIDs). However, he doesn't talk about how a hosted wallets (ie, Coinbase) has side effects as well.. people are effectively locked out of Coinbase accounts due to automated verification failures and no support.

> Before you ask, I do think that they should be paying more rather than less.

Maybe the 99% should have more wealth and income so that they could pay more taxes instead?

The mantra about wealth and income being about merit/hard work/etc, is partially true. A lot of wealth and income has to do with laws/privileges/etc.

The 1% paying more in taxes really means that they'd taken more of the wealth/income. So I don't think that's the solution.
Indeed 6s plus. It was replaced under warranty because of the battery drain issue a while back.
For network storage some of his points are even stronger. Sure, the page cache becomes more useful as latency goes up but it also becomes more important to send more I/O at once, something that is hard to do with blocking APIs like read(2) and write(2). The page cache is pretty good at optimizing sequential I/O to do this, but not random I/O or workloads where you need to sync().
Yes, I think you nailed what my issue was.

There are approaches that would draw a distinction between the parts of your mind that are under your conscious control, and the other parts of your mind (which would likely include gut etc as described in this article but also a big part of "the mind-meat between your ears") which influence a lot of your behavior and decision making, clearly are part of the "whole you" but are not part of the "conscious-you".

I.e. the thesis of such approaches (or at least some of them) is that if you define "you" narrowly as the things exposed to and controlled by your consciousness, then "that you" does not include a lot of your behavior and there is a bunch "decision-making hardware and software" both in your brain and your gut that is less "you" (for that definition/understanding of "you").

I can recommend a pop-sci overview of some of these ideas in a book by R. Kurzban "Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind" - there's a bunch of speculation, and we don't have a consensus on many (most) consciousness-related things, but it raises some interesting ideas that seem reasonable from that perspective.
“Was this statistically significant, or are you conducting pseudoscience? Definitely pseudoscience.”

this is from observations of my own machines.

I would suggest you install little snitch, turn off everything, and then boot your machine. Maybe switch from ethernet to wifi and observe the kinds of popups you get.

Another method, though hard to associate with specific processes, would be to run tcpdump -i <interface>.

Sometimes it's more useful to run tcpdump and do a capture, then play it back later because DNS lookups by tcpdump itself make it more chatty than it should be. You could also run it with -n but you get less information.
