If you need microservice architecture, it's likely because either the size or the rate of change of your data prevent you from using a single RDBMS with synchronous transactions. So your microservices talk to something like Cassandra.

You might want some of the advantages of microservices without yet reaching this scale. Then you likely have most microservices stateless, and can admit you have a single database where you can do joins (but not updates) across microservice borders.
I'm impressed with the rate of progress in the Linux distros for smartphones due to these devices, especially the Pinephone as it's more accessible.

But I honestly expected few major phone manufacturers to join these development effort in some manner after seeing the fate of Huawei with Android or specifically Google Play Services/OHA(Open Handset Alliance), I'm surprised it didn't happen yet or perhaps it's because of OHA it's not happening.

Tizen didn't work out for smartphones although it seems to be gaining market share in wearables, why not direct the smartphone investment part of it to PostmarketOS, UBPorts etc. I presume Linux Foundation has to play a role in it.

What's a "DNS prop"?
It does beg the question, if the developer authors a GraphQL server to do joins, why didn't the application just do that in the first place? Is it always a symptom of a dead piece of engineering?

> You're the one who said "integration test".

Yes, I was. And that's the problem, because it seems you didn't realize that tests that involve checking how 15 APIs interact are indeed tests that check how different services are integrated.

Do you disagree with anything?

> A single DB query is normally something that _can_ be trivially unit-tested.

Well, not really. You unit test the call to the repository, not the call to the DB. Calls to the DB are tested in integration tests. Think about it.

> But if the DB query is split across half a dozen complex services,

Aren't you trying to tests how half a dozen complex services integrate?

I mean, take a step back and read your own description of the problem. As soon as you talk about interacting "complex services" is already a clear tell that you're way beyond unit testing territory.

> Which usually means slow iteration and no local testing.

No, not really. It still means you have to add unit tests that cover how your individual clients and repositories and business logic works under the expected scenarios of a distributed system, and after you pass all of those you check how your service interacts with other services in integration tests.

You had ISOs or NSOs either granted or vested or both while in CA and those count as income earned in CA. CA will tax that income, even if you don't realize the gains until after you leave the state.

There’s no proof of this. And what possible reason would macOS have for not checking the checksum? Although the checksum is weak it presumably catches at least some corrupt traffic. Do you really think Apple would just skip the TCP checksum and make its network performance less reliable when they have already implemented (or maintained if it came from BSD) the rest of a TCP/IP stack, which is vastly more complex, just because its developers are lazy?
There is a reason it is called "Scarepoint," even internally.
They are people, and I feel for the trouble they are in, but no amount of compassion or empathy could convince me to take a stroll through a majority of SF downtown after dark. Likewise with many of the South Bay trails and parks. I don't even go to SF downtown during the day anymore because of the number of times I've almost stepped in human feces, and the needles strewn about.

8 years of liberal politicians claiming to care, and 8 years later it is significantly worse. I could excuse the lack of progress if the city government wasn't rolling in money the entire time. If they can't solve the problem with the way things were, they are going to have a hell of time doing it with the way they are headed.

Edit: I'd also like to point out society does not exist to gift every person peace, safety, and health. A just society offers opportunities, not guarantees.

This is the most apt analogy I've yet seen. I went "back" to Microsoft in the mid 2010s right around the time they started gaining a reputation for sucking less. Big mistake. But at least it gave me enough perspective to realize that the competing non-microsoft products and OSes (even the FOSS ones!) really aren't lacking as much as you'd expect.

> Both phones can run fairly hot. I think given how I hold the phone (closer to the base of the phone) I tend to notice the Librem 5 more often than I notice the Pinephone getting hotter. This is mostly because the frame / chassis for the Librem 5 is metal, and conducts the heat around the sides of the phone. So you’ll notice it getting hot after you’ve used your phone for a good bit.

Power management is complex these days. You'll often get a minimal implementation from the chip vendor, and it is a fair amount of work to really polish the lower level support. On top of that, you have to integrate this with the rest of the OS, so that active apps can increase the clocks, which then get automatically scaled back as system load decreases. So there's a lot to do on the userspace side as well.

> Depending on isopro fuel in freezing temperatures will at best leave you with canisters that perform poorly, at worst they will leave you without any fuel at all. These are not recommended for winter camping.

Sad to say some manufacturers, and thus camping magazines and web sites, do recommend canister stoves for winter camping (cough looking at you, snow peak, though you are not alone). I'm surprised they haven't killed anyone -- perhaps they are used by people who stay close to their vehicles. Those canisters are heavy and have to be packed out and discarded.

Liquid stoves have other tradeoffs but are much more reliable at all inhabitable altitudes. They are good at temperatures I can deal with at least as I try never to travel overland below -10 F -- I know some do but I simply don't believe I have the skills.

Another problem with the inexpensive canister stoves is, surprisingly, their tolerances. We had a jetboil fail in the Australian desert -- some grit simply got where it shouldn't. Bit of a crisis. A dragonfly or something like that is more tolerant of expanding, contracting, getting unfortunate bits in it (and being cleanable).
Uhm, there's some of the most diverse produce farmland in the country close to the bay. You get a much wider variety of farm-fresh bproduce there then in much of the rural south, for example (and yes I've lived in both).

Sure. So far you've claimed that (1) the smile at the end of rfonseca's comment should be viewed as good-natured and not mocking. This is not true of such expressions in general, but you've also claimed that (2) you have special knowledge, external to the thread, indicating that (1) is true.

You haven't bothered to support either claim, except to the extent that (2) supports (1); (1) is far from certain and (2) seems extremely unlikely, so unlikely that I surmise you didn't realize what you were saying.

I had a similar, local fiber ISP in a high density midwest apartment. Truly fantastic support. The network engineer came out to set me up, and we got to talking about our backgrounds (I worked in IT support while attending a nearby tech-focused university), he invites me to check out their building-wide switch closet down the hall with all the cool gear, then says "yeah we limit everyone to 100/100, but I'll flag your account for 250, just don't go overboard eh"

Marcin at InstaDeep here, I am one of the people behind DeepChain, and very eager to answer all questions.

I am glad to see you noticed our work on protein design for Covid (https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.01736), that is currently presented at NeurIPS. It has been a lot of hard work, but we think it turned out well.

You are partially right - the coronavirus work we did earlier this year to a large extent influenced DeepChain development, but - despite overlapping quite a bit - both have slightly different focus. The work you refer to was very result driven, aiming at providing the best result possible, with lesser focus on the underlying computational resources. We conducted a lot of experiments, developed a large amount of novel science processes, and protocols. Some of these worked well, others... well, we learned a lot too :-)

DeepChain builds on the coronavirus project, as well as other work performed at InstaDeep and outside. Its focus lies on making quite involved computational biology tasks approachable, usable, and useful to a non-expert user. The AI Designer module does what we did in Covid paper, but does it in an optimised way, delivering actionable results in a reasonable amount of time. It is thought as an exploratory tool, and we are happy to work with you to help you explore your DeepChain findings further.

DeepChain performs also one-click, short, reasonable Molecular Dynamics simulations to validate newly designed proteins, These too are very similar to the validations we did for the Covid paper, but contrary to the paper here it is the user, who gets to decide how involved the simulation needs to be. It is not a platform to run half-a-year worth of simulation in one go, but it works great for quick (and painless) evaluation of multiple poses in a uniform, reproducible manner.

Finally, the Sequence Playground is a way to tap into the fascinating (for me, coming from very structure-oriented background) world of very large AI models of protein sequences, parameterised on pretty much all that we know about proteins (both these annotated and these coming from metagenomic sequencing!). Here, within seconds, one can get an objective estimate of evolutionary pressures onto your protein. As these come from global models, you can (for example) see that a single mutation may make another position more susceptible to adopt a different amino acid, which in turn may potentially turn your entire protein topsy-turvy. What we see is that protein regions being very stable (structurally and evolutionarily) also have a very "tight" probabilities. The Playground allows you to explore any sort of variation in sequence and see how well it works out, given out knowledge on billions of years of evolution. Then you can feed the most intriguing designs into Site-directed mutagenesis tool in AI Designer and see how the mutation works out from the structure and interaction point of view.

As you see, I am rather excited about the platform, so if you want to know anything else, ask away!

I've tried GeForce Now also, the client told me everything was fine over Wifi (but it wasn't). Switched to wired, and again everything worked perfectly. I'm in the same room as my router.

I'm just saying that my guess is that this probably has nothing to do with your ISP or net neutrality, and more with technical limits of wireless connections. But I could of course be wrong... Try it with ethernet and see how it goes, I just have a long cable I temporarily run through the room when I wanna play :-)

(And yeah, I think it's kinda fishy that they don't make it clearer if/that wired connections can make big improvements. Look around the subreddits about these services, or their support pages and you'll see that people recommend ethernet, and the vendors first recommendation when having trouble is to use wired ethernet [0], [1])

Not to mention that Rust is a ML based language and not a C based one. I am an OCaml programmer, and was writing significant Rust code in less than a month. It makes me wonder if the author has actually used Rust at all.

In fact, I picked up Rust because the original Rust compiler was written in OCaml!
You are probably thinking of On the Origin of “Oops!”: The Language and Literature of Animal Disease by Ray Malewitz claiming it came a gradual shortening of the word “ooperzootics” (epizooty, a disease affecting many animals at the same time) to “oops” between 1872 and 1921.

Yes, just to add:

Raft is essentially Multi-Paxos under the hood, with some overstrict invariants that can impact availability and latency. If you need a consensus algorithm, then it's worth doing a survey of the literature beyond Raft.

Other Multi-Paxos variants are Viewstamped Replication Revisited, which has deterministic leader election for lower latency in the common case and thus no issue of split votes, and which I personally find easier to understand than Raft, also making less demands of the underlying hardware (i.e. VRR can do in-memory leader election, so you're safe in the event of disk failure, corruption, lost writes, and misdirected writes, which Raft does not deal with).

For all these Multi-Paxos variants, you can also look at Flexible Paxos, which is a simple technique for making leader election quorums slightly more expensive (since leader elections are infrequent) in order to make replication quorums much cheaper (since they are the common case critical path). You can use Flexible Paxos to save 20% in the number of hardware nodes for the same common case failure tolerance. Flexible Paxos is a game changer.

That's when you append "this is not a drill".
I don't know enough Clojure to really understand this argument. I am a bit confused by the example. It appears that the only difference between "semantic" and "fixed" indentation is that the former allows "hanging indentation" of the arguments, i.e. aligning everything to match the indentation of the first argument when that was not preceded by a newline but placed immediately after the identifier of the function being called. I don't understand how that has anything to do with macros as it is claimed in the article, but that is probably due to my lack of Clojure knowledge.

I think there is an important - but often ignored - argument against "hanging indentation", and that is that it makes the indentation of a possibly large number of lines depend on the length of the identifier or expression that the arguments are applied to. This can result in larger than necessary diffs when refactoring, leading to unnecessary conflicts during integration. Furthermore, unless you have tooling that is aware of this indentation style, code modifications may require a lot of manual and tedious re-indentation.

You're gaining component isolation and separation of concerns, and the ability to scale services horizontally without bothering about shared state.

Also, you gain the ability to develop each system without having any constraint imposed by third parties.

In other words, you're making your service not only simpler but also more robust, easier to operate and maintain.

This guy is fascinating and has such a rich history. As with many people with decorated history, though, he had some blind spots. One of these was that he was thoroughly enamoured with his own skill at training an air force:

> Q: Of all the pilots you've flown iwth, which do you respect the most and why?A: In 1971-73, I flew with the Pakistan Air Force in the war with India. They were the best in the world because they had the most experience - over 75 hours/month.

In 1971, the PAF was decisively routed after attempting a pre-emptive strike, leaving their navy (and soon they were gone too) and their ground forces with no air cover. The outcome was that Pakistan was split in two and lost half her territory despite the US dispatching the USS Enterprise (with Task Force 74) and the UK dispatching the HMS Eagle in support.
If you held the preferred shares while you were a resident of California, why shouldn't you be subject to California CGT when you realize the gain in proportion to the length of your residency, just like if it were deferred employment compensation (taxed by CA in proportion to workdays in CA vs workdays elsewhere) or real estate (taxed in full by CA)?

Checksums are also often recomputed on transit if the packet is intercepted, e.g. to limit TTL, unflag odd/unused TCP features, that kind of ISP-ish preening. So if it was a software error or even a hardware problem in the right (wrong) spot it’s possible to get this kind of corruption without retransmits.
