Assuming fifty percent efficiency, that’s ten hours a week. Or basically a part time job without considering the time it can take to eat a healthier diet. And fifty percent efficiency is probably high considering clothes and showers and travel and equipment acquisition and maintenance and distribution of these throughout a week. Plus recovery time after working out.

Yes, it’s possible and people do it. But it’s got a whole host of dependencies that are ordinarily subject to breaking changes.
Have you ever struggled with weight loss? I mean serious 60-80 pounds overweight and done it successfully?

I've spent 30 years bouncing between 260 and 185 pounds. Every single time I've successfully lost weight it started with exercise. Diet alone has absolutely never worked for me.
> Also, your boss has a hard time fighting for a raise for you every year because his boss just says 'oh that guy just fixes bugs, no growth'"

You've spent a lot of time in senior roles, huh? Then you ought to know how valuable someone who can fix bugs, especially arcane ones, can be.

> I am kidding

No you weren't, you just don't want to be perceived as an asshole. This is one of the most basic and overused psychological tactics in history. Just say what you have to say and let the chips fall where they may. If you're wrong and the other person has a spine, they'll tell you you're wrong. If you're right and you're actually dealing with adults, they'll recognize it and accept it.
> usually has a No. 1 player which takes more than 50% of the market share

> It is a very crowded field and very difficult to catch up to current leaders.

With more than 50% market share it's the least crowded field there is, basically a monopoly formed by a very high barrier of entry, because not everyone has billions to risk on complex long term projects, private investors prefer shorter term returns. But it doesn't mean it's difficult to catch up or that the leader produces something good, on the contrary, monopoly means low quality, slow innovation, high price, easy to catch up by just throwing money at it, it just takes government involvement to do it.

My failures in dieting have always been from losing sight of my goal, and my successes in dieting have always been from making a proper decision.

My current target is feeling hungry most of the day, usually eating a ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast and lean meats/vegetables for other meals, and if I'm still very hungry by the end of the day I may indulge in a protein or granola bar and possibly a small glass of milk. I feel like my target of feeling hungry helps put the hunger pangs into perspective, and helps me stay on track.
Interesting coincidence. ElasticSearch was inspired by Shay Banon trying to build a recipe site.

1. I'm not sure what is your point, I'm sure there are representatives/lobbyist speak for Ant financial in the government, and there are stakeholders of Ant that have political influence.

2. No one claimed ownership is the same as control, but so it happens most of the time in the business world ownership implies control.

3. Like you said, ownership is different from control. Ant is not state owned, literally.

My understanding is that citizens pays their government, and the governments in turn use (some of) that money to pay for the functioning of Europe (generally approx 1% of it's GNP). The European budget is mostly an "investment budget", and represents 2% of public spending in Europe.

For 2019, Europe operated with a budget of 165 G$

I have not seen crashes, but I often saw corrupted DPKG databases. This is very rare if you stick to upstream repositories, but it gets more serious when you start mixing third-party repositories in (i.e. I saw people replacing GCC with newer versions from outside repositories, and due to the sheer amount of stuff depending from it, doing a dist-upgrade required purging an immense amount of packages). I must admit it's not usually an issue on servers, though.
Yes, Inmos disappeared but their legacy totally lives on.
It’s nearly impossible to fight defamation like this. Only defense against it is to be as careful choosing your employer as possible. The amount of power they have over your future is insane and in certain situations, like the one in the article, you basically have no recourse.

It's $130 for an 8TB USB drive at Best Buy. If you don't mirror your backup, that's $16/TB cost, which is quite reasonable.
Forced constraints are definitely a great training tool. I think constraints in general also bring about great creativity in the artist. Having little to work with forces the artist to look at the essence of what they're trying to create/communicate and "do more with less", which leads to a sort of innovation.

One of my favorite drawing exercises I have done in a drawing class is speed drawing. You're asked to sketch a model in different poses, but at first you are given 1 minute per pose, and then 30 seconds per pose, then 10 seconds per pose, then 5 seconds per pose. It really forces you to look at the core shapes you see and translate them into as few lines as needed.
Perfect counterexample for the person who was telling me that single-threaded performance isn't visible to users any more. On the M1 mac mini the Google Cloud console is fully loaded in 5.1s (2.6s when cached), not 8.1s. As an enthusiast of software efficiency I don't think either of these is great, and there's obviously a lot they can do to make it faster, but it just shows how users still greatly benefit from throwing hardware at the problem.
That story is disputed. Musk himself denies it, and it seems to come from his father, Errol, with whom he has a strained relationship. AFAIK no-one has properly established it it's true or false.

The little things which are left, but here's a throwback to "Cauchy's residue theorem"[0] to make this more fun.

You can also think of power spectrum analysis, not all frequencies have the same "power".

Though in a time-frequency representation, not all frequencies have the same energy at every moment.

Honestly that sounds like not simple at all. I just want a webapp up and running, with a database and cache server, and I have again and again launched Elastic Beanstalk + Elasticache + RDS (or the GCP version) in half a day following basic tutorials, and this system runs very well (and scales very well) with zero need to "dive into documentation" for various things. I can then focus on my app instead of infra. It's still not clear why such simple architectures need kubernetes.
How to Clean Your Office Chair
"Private" communication exists using the Internet. Sometimes your device is in custody because you are in custody for suspicions they already have. In which case, good luck. Other times your device is in custody just because you happen to be crossing a border, for example. In that case, having the device be actually locked might prevent you from being turned away at the border or even ending up in custody yourself.

I found that the psychological impacts of only creating a deficit via diet are over long term not negligible, and this gets worse as you get leaner. At low body fat percents (low teens and below) you'll start to feel hungry all the time and it will impact moods/productivity. So I find myself forced to eat more but claw it back with exercise, which is great anyway because of all the other benefits of exercise. The degree to which you do this is the big question mark. In addition, the net achievable deficit while remaining happy as a function of exercise ratio is in my experience a U shape - if I exercise too much (e.g. a few ~2K cal hikes) I become ravenous, to the point that eating large amount of food barely makes me any less hungry, and almost always net out in the wrong direction. So this is a great kind of study, though my current happy setting all things considered is hovering around 150min/week.
>- labor laws (very hard to fire people in many European countries)

That's just not true now and hasn't been the case anymore since like the 2009 financial crisis. In most of Europe it's trivial to fire an underperforming non-unionized employee as the countries have adapted more business friendly laws to remain competitive after the financial crisis. Sure, there may still be some grey beards somewhere with old bulletproof contracts but for anyone entering the tech workforce now, getting fired is a rubber stamp basically especially since tech workers are not unionized and sometimes benefit from less protection than even some blue-collar professions which are unionized.

For example, in Austria you can fire anyone for no reason at all as long as you give them their notice period(usually 1 to 3 months) without them being entitled to any other financial compensation from their employer. Moreover, non-competes are legal here without any form of compensation and you can even fire employees while they're on sick leave. All this legally!

The whole you can't get fired in Europe maybe only applies to Scandinavia or France but it's mostly a meme nowadays.

Actually, contrary to popular belief, tech workers in California might enjoy better protection than tech workers in some European countries. Let that sink in for a bit.

> Similarly, if you try to reduce your "in", your body will lower its metabolism to try to reduce your "out".

...as well as torturing you and trying to trick you into gorging.

The "calories in / calories out" people make me angry too. There's an old joke that goes: "Q. How do you carve a statue of an elephant? A. Take a big stone, and chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant." Technically true, completely useless in practice.

What people need is methods which take into account these regulatory mechanisms. Fasting one day a week (dinner until breakfast the day after) may give you the same calorie deficit as eating 300 less calories per day than you're burning, but it's a heck of a lot more pleasant to have 1 day of complete abstinence and then 6 days of homeostasis, than spending 7 days a week wrestling millions of years of evolution, and being blamed as having "no willpower" when you inevitably fail.
I can't explain how incredibly satisfying it was to fully grasp KE=1/2mv2.

People act like resilvers on parity are vastly different than on mirrored. They are not, its just reads and writes, granted in a different pattern. My RAIDZ2 resilvers at about what I expect the old drives in it to write at, ~100MB/sec. In a mirrored setup it all depends on the one drive doing the reading to survive the process. The drive that is most likely the same age as the one that just failed.

A resilver isnt more likely to kill an existing drive than a scrub. And the general advice is to do those semi regularly.

A blanket statement equating parity RAID to "more risky" is absurd and leads to people thinking they need a massive pool of mirrors just for their home files. ZFS has numerous options to prioritize different IO higher or lower (priority to resilvers or end user data).

Hey, thank you very much for the reply.

Either a "link reset at" or even just a note on the share link page saying "this link stays permanent between runs unless you choose to reset it" would be OK I guess. The only reason I realised it didn't change is because on arranging a meeting with friends recently, they said "oh yeah, i've already got that link, you sent it to me last time".

Entirely my own fault and own assumption... Maybe even a settings option to "preserve tracking URL between launches" or an option for "URL times out after xxx hours/days".

A togglable "show my location" would work fantastically for my use case. Even better if it were to show me a distance (20 miles away as the crow flies is still useful information if you're waiting for someone to arrive, though obviously doesn't take into account distance or time by road).

Multiple users on the map would be fantastic (I really do miss lattitude). I can't quite imagine how that would work without an immense amount of extra work. At the moment we tend to just share the URL via a facebook message, me having to paste multiple links in would work fine for me, but I can see less technical users having problems.

I guess in an ideal world, viewing someone elses graticule link would open in the app rather than the webpage. At that point clicking multiple links for different people would just add them all into my copy off the app so I could see everyone moving around just by opening my copy of graticule rather than keeping track of other people's URLs. Combined with an ability to set a lifetime on the link we could all generate a 24h tracking URL in the morning, post them all into a group chat and then it's just a few clicks for me to correlate them all together into the app (and then have them auto-remove as the links time out).

Having multiple maps on screen on the computer is acceptable if I'm just tracking multiple people (eg different delivery drivers); eg their actual location only matters to me. The second I have more than one person trying to meet up (even if it's me and someone else), then having disparate maps is a pain. As one tends to want them rather zoomed in I'm having to expend a lot of mental effort in trying to work out where each location is relative to each other, rather than reality. If it's an area of the country where I don't recognise village names then I'm having to crossreference a whole lot of information and keep it all in my head (and I'm stupid with a bad memory).

Hope this feedback is useful. I feel quite guilty about the fact I've suggested a tonne of work for yourself for the sake of making something I use for free easier for me, which doesn' seem entirely fair :)
Angular has tons of things you can do to have great performance. I'm guessing the Google Cloud team just aren't prioritizing performance over features.
Perhaps. I’ve seen the chain-of-hashed-commits in version control software being described as an antecedent of the bitcoin style of blockchain, though I don’t know enough about the inner workings of any version control system well enough to compare, let alone the ones in use 20 years ago.

No thanks. I use raidz2.

With mirror vdevs if you lose the wrong 2 drives you lose everything. I can lose any 2 drives and be totally fine.

The probability of losing the wrong 2 drives at once is small, sure. But I would rather just not care about that probability. And I don't lose half my capacity, which for a home user (I don't have an unlimited budget!) matters a whole lot more than having the absolute best iops.

Seeing that website and its picks it reminded me of the acerbic comment of a Swedish academic:

"Permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy Horace Engdahl told the Associated Press that US writers were "too sensitive to trends in their own mass culture", which he said dragged down the quality of their work. "The US is too isolated, too insular. They don't translate enough and don't really participate in the big dialogue of literature," Engdahl said. "That ignorance is restraining."

> You can't control urges to eat, you can only do your best to resist them.

This is going to depend from person to person. Like most things, you can train yourself to control your hunger/appetite. Some people will have no real issue, others it will be an uphill battle.

That conversation can always be reserved elsewhere, right now the greater issue is the incentives of the organization and deployment process.

This article doesn't mention routine at all, and the only focus is on weight loss. This is extremely short sighted as a novice sticking to a routine of increasingly heavy compound lifts 2-3 times a week (~120-180 minutes) can expect improvements in body composition and coordination that will be a much bigger improvement in overall physical ability than just losing some arbitrary amount of weight. Even if weight loss is the end goal, having a solid foundation will help immensely.
I use this UI all day, every day on a Ryzen 3900 with 12 cores, 24 threads, 32GB RAM, 300Mbps connection. It's always extremely slow, takes up obscene amounts of CPU and RAM. It's mind-boggling how they think, "this is ok".

The move to, "let's show them a pretty G spinner to compensate, because research shows that'll make them think it's fast" irks me to no end.
Law enforcement is not a monolithic entity. Your municipal police department or county sheriff’s office can barely check its email, let alone backdoor a tech company. However it might be able to get technical assistance from the FBI or a private digital forensics consultancy on an important case.

Recon InfoSec switched from AWS Cognito to FusionAuth
That same issues exists with docker containers. You can also build a pipeline to deploy very barebones VMs that contain the kernel, a barebones userland and the application. Use KSM to minimise memory usage. What you get with containers is a shared page cache and reduced context switching.

Once upon a time in tech, the thinking was hardware is cheap, technical staff is expensive, hence we moved on to systems and programming languages that saved us time at the expense of efficiency on the hardware.

20 years on, the cost equation hasn't changed. In fact, its probably shifted drastically towards the extremes. We'd likely save more energy by eliminating crypto mining than moving all VMs onto containers.
The server response on clicking the link lacks a "Content-Type" header. I just thought I'd mention that in case the admin would be here and interested.

It's causing a download extension in my browser to show a download dialog on clicking the link. I don't think it's a bug in the extension, but rather a required behavior because of the limitations of extensions. The extension has no sure way to know what my browser's treatment of the response will be after it inspects the body content to guess the type, so the safer thing to do in its case is to show the dialog.

I don't think Content-Type is required by HTTP, but it's pretty rare for servers to not include it. Might be good to add it if only in interest of the Robustness Principle[1].
