Is the problem that you can be let go at any time or that if that happens at an inopportune moment you can lose everything? With better social safety nets we (in the USA) wouldn't have to tie our well-being to a Lovecraftian body of law entangling employment with every other aspect of our lives, and it wouldn't be a big deal in the first place if employment ended.
You need to integrate transaction coordination with replication to ensure that the replication respects transaction atomicity (so that cross-shard queries get all their reads and writes isolated from each other, and rolled back atomically when a txn is aborted).

So separating the layers like you do is only possible if there is an XA protocol between the layers. Neither K8s nor Ceph support that.

Hard agree. If you're the kind of person using a tiling WM, you will definitely find the deep customization that Qutebrowser exposes to be liberating. I like the experience so much that I'll start selling it for the rest of this comment:

Do you use vim-like extensions, but hate how surface-level they become due to hard WebExtension limitations? Pining to recapture the days of Pentadactyl? Qutebrowser is built for vim-like navigation from the ground up:

* Hate getting stuck on about//:* / chrome://* pages? Every single page in qutebrowser works with your keybindings!

* Hate PDFs for the same reason? Qutebrowser will read PDFs and keeps your keybindings there, too!

* Wish you could have a dotfile configuration for your browser? Qutebrowser (optionally) does dotfiles (and they're Python!)

* Wish you had a real EX mode? Qutebrowser has one and it does not disappoint in terms of customization/functionality. It's actually the linchpin of the the entire UX, much like the Omnibar is for Chrome.

* Wish you had a keyboard-driven text selection mode? Qutebrowser has one!

* Hate file pickers forcing you to reach for the mouse? Qutebrowser implements its own keyboard-driven file picker (and it's actually really good!)

Have you considered other browsers in the past, but passed them up due to a lack of extension support? Well... Qutebrowser can't handle WebExtensions, but it does provide most features you would miss:

* Dark Mode? It exposes the same performant, engine-level dark mode that Chrome does

* Adblock? Qutebrowser supports hostlist-based adblocking (with auto-update) OR, if you want real Adblock, you can install jblock for qutebrowser, which is comparable functionality-wise to "uBlock"-type extensions (yes, including Youtube)

* Userscripts? Qutebrowser supports loading userscripts and is mostly compatible with the GreaseMonkey 3/4 APIs. This covers what most "minor" extensions (e.g. HTTPS Everywhere / Old Reddit redirectors / UI tweaks) can do

* Custom CSS? Most "userstyle"-type websites package a "Greasemonkey" version that will work just fine with the previously remarked userscript functionality

* Password management? Qutebrowser comes with scripting support that will allow you to interface with your desktop-side password manager. Out of the box, it comes pre-packaged with scripts for connecting to GNU pass, bitwarden, keepass, and lastpass.
I would not put it out of the realm of possibility of facebook and others working with Congress on a privacy protection act which basically handcuffs Apple and others.

It will come with some protection sounding name and in effect make it easier for companies to get users back into the reflex habit of clicking away any protections they may have had
It would be great to have a website with details and a forum for discussion, questions can be very specific to post here. E.g. what tools do you use to write code? How do you control temporal properties of the code? How do you process orientation information, do you use floating point of the microcontroller?

"There's a difference between supporting nazism and choosing to honor a nazi, sure, but we shouldn't do either."

But if employees are well-represented on the board then such actions might not be necessary in the first place. In this case, they might have determined that they have no other recourse to change the company's behaviour.

Both firing them or dealing with them are expressions of management's political power, and making their demands public is an expression of the political power of those employees, and it's up to both sides to figure out what result is best for them, a result that will likely be determined by the relative political power of the sides. I see no moral prerogative that says that management's exertion of political power is good, but workers' is bad.

Regulatory Capture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

If it's not connected to the Internet, okay.

If it is connected to the Internet, then I guess the kernel needs to be hot-patched need to be applied to avoid security issues.

Were hot kernel patches available ten years ago? I remember some company who did this (for Linux), and it was quite a while back, so it's possible. But I doubt it was mainstream.

I recall long ago that SunOS boxes had to be rebooted for kernel patches.

I don't remember about Solaris.

The absolute beginner technical guide may be the most difficult kind of writing there is. You have to know what's already in the head of the absolute beginner. If it's garbage, you need to set that straight before anything else can happen.

You also have to know what's not in the head of an absolute beginner. Then you need to fill the gaps with background material. Not too much or your audience will tune out. Not too little or you'll lose your audience in a puff of confusion. There needs to be just enough instant gratification to keep the reader with you.

Many concepts you've mastered are tangled together in your head, and you'll realize this the minute you start trying to write about them. Before you started writing, you never noticed what a hairball of concepts you'd mastered, and if you don't expend some serious effort and energy unpacking it all, your absolute beginner guide will read more like a dissertation. You'll need to untangle each and every concept for the beginner audience. That means getting creative with how information is presented. With what information you reveal, and what information you simplify - but not too much. You should start thinking about ways to convey ideas graphically, which could excite you as much as it horrifies you. A good image can take as much effort as 2,000 edited words.

You start off thinking that it will be easy. And then you realize you've vastly underestimated how much material there will be to get where you wanted to be. If you haven't given up in complete frustration at the size of the undertaking in front of you, scale back your vision for the guide and repeat. It may take a few iterations before you know what you're doing.
I don't think this is due to the use of computers per say. Rather I think this is the influence of the 'Anglosphere' online both in term of culture and of tech (for example in Spanish autocompletion could insert the opening marks but it's probably often not even considered by the devs).

Perhaps the software culture has also changed. When people were mostly typing "seriously" in Word or email all the correct typography was implemented. For example Word selects the correct quotation marks automatically based on locale.

Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc. do not care. Just ship fast.
No, they are expression of the fact that employees are employed and paid by the company to work for the company.

You can agitate against companies all you want, it's a free country. But you can't expect to be paid by them while you do it.

Not sure what "morality" has to do with it.

EDIT (Since parent added the bit about boards): No, having employee representatives on the board changes nothing about this. The board is legally (and ethically) obligated to work for the benefit of the company.
These are the exact same things and versions listed on the Red Hat managed and curated Operator Hub.

I've used Stripe through three of these APIs (v1, then sources / charges, and now PaymentIntents). Since the Stripe docs began recommending intents, I've used them 2-3 times; I found them to be more complicated (the flow now starts on the server which means exposing more endpoints on my project) and I misunderstood their purpose. I thought they were meant to be more end-user friendly since you have to basically declare on the server what a charge is for prior to taking their payment details. That might have been a foil against "we have your card and can charge any amount we want now!". However, from reading this well-written article, I see that intents were actually the resolution to a crisis of abstractions. Stripe wants payments to feel unified and hence has brainstormed the best model to fit different types of synchronous and asynchronous methods. I'm curious as to what percent of Stripe usage is American credit card charges and subscriptions vs ACH, Bitcoin, OXXO and the rest.

What would be a really good law.

Anytime a company is fined by the SEC it has to post that at the top of their home page similar to how restaurants have t display health scores. Of course it would need to have a plain English requirement.

I disagree that your sentence fragment is all the press release says. I believe the press release says a lot more, such as Robinhood making substantial amounts of money from pay for order flow and Robinhood executing orders at prices that are not only worse than what is available on the market, but also worse than competing brokers, and this in spite of the fact that Robinhood advertises this to the contrary.

These facts taken together can not be used to "mean pretty much anything". These facts, along with the additional fact that the SEC is charging Robinhood of engaging in illegal activity, strongly suggest illegal activity involving pay for order flow that resulted in worse price execution to the customer.

If you think that means "pretty much anything" then we can simply agree to disagree on this matter.
The question is how geographically localized that "well defined group" is. Are Eritreans in the same well defined group as Ghanans or as Lebanese? Are Cypriots the same as Lebanese or Italians? Are Italians in the same well defined group as Greeks or as Germans? Are Germans like Slovaks or like the Sami?

You can surely say that the overlap in a Ghanan and a Sami person's ancestry is quite small regarding recent millennia. But I don't see well defined groups at all. The reason it seems so in the US is because of the huge Western European (German/British) immigration early on and the large population of descendants of West African slaves. These two are sharply distinguishable (discounting for intermixing effects) but there are no "well defined groups" such as "black" and "white" when looking at it globally, not just in America. They are linked continuously via North/East Africans/Arabs/Turks and Mediterraneans.

> ...the activity levels (radiation levels) of the steam moving through the main steam lines momentarily rose to about 3 to 4 times higher compared with the normal activity level. The momentary increase of the activity level in the main steam lines caused the automatic isolation of the containment, the so-called i-isolation. This is one of the safety functions of the plant, and it's job is to isolate the reactor's containment and the reactor so that no radiation can reach the environment. The i-isolation is designed to operate in the case of an internal pipe leakage or significant fuel damage. In this case, the cause was neither. The i-isolation automatically initiates water spraying in the containment and a reactor trip, among other things. As a result of a reactor trip, all the control rods automatically go inside the reactor, and the chain reaction stops.

The way I read this is--there was a very brief rise in the radioactivity of the steam in the pipeline, which kicked off the shut down of the plant. There was no indication of a larger issue, no indication that lives were in danger. In other words, the professionals on the scene had reason to believe it was nothing--and they were correct.

While the public certainly have a right to know if they are at risk, plant operators in this situation have an obligation to communicate in very careful manner. After all, in the era of social media, one hysterical politician could set off a mass panic via twitter. Far better, if the situation is in hand, to get things into an easily explainable safe state before communicating with the excitable non-experts.
Even performance specification gets harder. How does one benchmark the latest AMD and Intel processors if performance is different for each unit (and completely changes for each workload)?

Obviously not the coupe.

I’m not sure about ISOFIX anchors, but here in the US the LATCH anchor system actually has a relatively low weight limit, typically 40-65 lbs (including weight of seat) depending on how it’s installed. Beyond that weight limit, you’re supposed to skip the anchors and just use the regular seatbelt.

This would be an issue if you have 3 children that need rear facing seats. But given that we typically transition kids into forward facing seats between 1-4 years old, realistically you’d need twins or triplets before this is a necessity. A parent with 3 kids could attach a seat in the middle via seatbelts for the oldest child, and use the anchors on the outside seats for the younger child.

Not as convenient as a 3 row SUV, I’ll agree. But far from impossible.

I'm not sure what did or did happen in this case, but I've reviewed enough papers and seen enough of my own reviewed that I know "failed to take into account relevant recent papers" is one of many ways a reviewer who wants to shoot a paper down for BS reasons can use.

To be clear, reading that reason in a negative review can mean at least two things, and I'm not judging which of the two happened here:

1. The paper did fail to take into account the results in some highly relevant and widely cited papers. (I've rejected papers claiming new results myself before now with "this problem was in fact already solved by X, published in Y".)

2. The paper was fine, but it didn't cite every paper published recently on the topic ever, and someone used that to shoot it down for whatever BS reason. Matt Might calls these reviewers snipers: http://matt.might.net/articles/peer-fortress/

There is something to the notion of one man having enough money to start large projects that would be out of the reach of most. However, the benefits stop there. There is absolutely no reason we can’t have huge capitalists that pay their fair share of taxes at the same time.
`latest` is applied to the most recent image built without an explicit tag (or one explicitly tagged as `latest`); it does not necessarily mean that image is the most "up to date" in any sense. For example, you could have a very old `latest` image, which was built before many explicitly tagged images.

Whoever came up with this heuristic probably did not really understand `latest`. To be fair, though, it is a fairly misleading and confusing "feature".
I guess this article sums up why we've had a rather bad experience with stripe so far: the API constantly changes, and the documentation or even Googling for a solution seems to be more confusing than ever since most articles you'll find are about some older API.

It initially took us much more engineering hours to integrate Stripe into our processes then expected. Granted, we do worldwide sales, with multiple tax-flows and we accept multiple payment methods in both euros and USD. This was during the Charges/Sources days.

Then this year we had to go through all that again to migrate from the Charges/Sources model to the PaymentIntent model. This was a pain as the popular payment method in our own country was still very much in beta for the PaymentIntent flow. Documentation was all over the place and customer service often did not know answers to implementation questions (though I must say, they always followed up eventually with some good pointers).

Now we are receiving scary emails about how much money we'll lose if we are not SCA compliant. But following the link in that email shows we are SCA compliant... Confusing stuff. Let's just hope we don't have to go through a migration again.

Disclaimer: I don't have any meaningful experience with other payment providers, so a can't really tell if Stripe is better or worse than others. I guess accepting payments is just really hard if you want to do anything beyond the 'hello world' (which is: credit cards in the US only).
