I saw these first-hand armies of cheap contractors that cannot deliver anything. In the meantime your neglected supporting software/infrastructure slow you down. Intel had enough money to get the best engineers on every level. Lower turnover and better and cheaper to maintain software. Instead, they choose to save money QA they got spectre saga. Intel saved on latest process and not used EUV and could not deliver 10nm at all.
Wow, I don't mean to issue an ad-hominem attack... but I do not consider anything from NY Post legitimate, I'd even venture to say NY Post is a tabloid owned by News Corporation, and surprised that this is on HackerNews.

But the cryptographic bottleneck is in HSMs, not in database servers (database servers don't generate the digital signatures, they just have to store them after they've been generated).
It could very well be Option<&mut T>, though. Personally I think having a 1:1 mapping to the C API is reasonable enough as a first target. It should make porting code easy and referencing the official documentation is probably easiest this way.

No matter how many heuristics they apply to make a somewhat more idiomatic mapping, it'll never feel right until it's manually designed to fit with Rust conventions. So I'm okay with it as it is now and can hope for a much thicker abstraction in the future.
Aha, good luck with that. Entire human history is full of such social differentiation, where a particular group, caste, nation, etc. think that they are better and deserve more than the others.

MBAs, in my experience, is the worst example of it. They treat themselves as some higher order creatures, without actual skills or understanding of things.

It is like you're looking at my pitch deck. We have zero interest in providing professional services but know that some of our customers will need CFO like help and so a natural partnership for us is outsourced accounting firms. Later this year we will open up reviews for bookkeepers so that our customers can interact to make those qualified recommendations to each other.

I miss the walnut creek days of ftp.cdrom.com. Many an id demo and FreeBSD isos downloaded. Before that I knew of them from actually buying their CD's in the mid 90's before we had the internet.
> We can clearly see how our old CPUs were reaching their limit. In the week before we upgraded our primary database server, its CPU usage (from /proc/stat) averaged over 90%

This strikes me as odd. In my experience, traditional OLTP row stores are I/O bound due to contention (locking and latching). Does anyone have an explanation for this?

> Once you have a server full of NVMe drives, you have to decide how to manage them. Our previous generation of database servers used hardware RAID in a RAID-10 configuration, but there is no effective hardware RAID for NVMe, so we needed another solution... we got several recommendations for OpenZFS and decided to give it a shot.

Again, traditional OLTP row stores have included a mechanism for recovering from media failure: place the WAL log on separate device from the DB. Early MySQL used a proprietary backup add-on as a revenue model so maybe this technique is now obfuscated and/or missing. You may still need/want a mechanism to federate the DB devices and incremental volume snapshots are far superior to full DB backup but placing the WAL log on a separate device is a fantastic technique for both performance and availability.

The Let's Encrypt post does not describe how they implement off-machine and off-site backup-and-recovery. I'd like to know if and how they do this.
I read that. They're only speculating that this could impact vaccines that rely on the spike protein. They didn't actually test for that.

The links I posted show that testing with current mRNA vaccines against this exact variant are under way. Pfizer's (very small) initial tests results seem positive.
To other answers here: the phrase in the poem "we're not trying to be perfect" seems contradicting the goal "to form a more perfect Union", unless you think that "let's be perfect" and "less be more perfect" are different enough. I think the road to perfection shares parts with the road to more perfection - often.

Yes, because these social medias can't have it both ways, I already addressed that. If you make money at scale, well you are responsible for moderation at scale, period.

Your argument is just apologizing for Twitter's bad behaviour when it comes to illegal content moderation.
>But for normal usage-as-a-currency, I am a huge believer in XMR (monero), which masks who you're sending money to

There was a talk[1] a few years ago that basically argued that this property only really holds if you look at individual transactions in isolation. It basically boils down to: if you make one transaction to a darknet market, it's impossible to know whether you were actually sending to a darknet market, or whether that was just a decoy transaction. However, if you make repeated transactions to a darknet market, the chances that all of your transactions had a darknet market decoy approaches zero, and you'll be considered suspicious. At that point the police can get a warrant to search your house, or put surveillance on you so they can catch you slipping up irl.

We need effective regulation of these platforms.

The regulation must be forward-looking. Trying to respond after a social media company has harmed the public, say by hosting illegal content, is not good enough. Social media companies cannot be allowed to say "Oh, sorry Congress, we made a mistake. We have now fixed it and it won't happen again."

It might be that we need an agency like the FCC to regulate the internal operations of these companies and bring about true shared decision making.

Attempts to exclude regulatory authorities from meetings should result in criminal charges and prison time for repeat offenders.

The title does a bad job of this, though, as it's extremely ambiguous who is doing the "rehiring." The way it's worded, the best assumption is the "New Intel CEO" is doing the "rehiring" - but Pat did not do this.
Bummer that they didn't catch it until years after it was published, but it is heartwarming to hear that the process went smoothly at least.

I had a near miss publishing a paper in grad school, where buried in the ~10k LOC data analysis script there was a bug in my data processing pipeline. In summary, I had meant to evaluate B=sqrt(f(A^2)) but what I actually evaluated was B=sqrt(f(A)^2), which caused the resulting output to slightly off.
In the review process, one of the reviewers looked at the output, and said wait a second this seems fishy, can you explain why it has such and such artifact. Their comments quickly allowed me to pinpoint what was going wrong, and correct the analysis script appropriately -- which actually ended up improving the result significantly!

What I take away from this all is that for every article about academic misconduct and p hacking there are 100 more where the peer review process (both before and during submission to a journal) caught the issues in time.

But... also probably a decent number where the errors is still in the wild to this day...

Yeah, Python would really benefit from multi-line anonymous functions.

There was a limitation in Python where spacing and indentation gets ignored between parentheses, which makes it impossible to pass a multi-line lambda as an argument to a method or function. However, given the new parser, that limitation might be able to be mitigated.

This is a very high level overview and ideally I would have liked to have seen more application level profiling, e.g. where time is being spent (be it on CPU or IO) within the DB rather than high level system stats. For example the following.

> CPU usage (from /proc/stat) averaged over 90%

Leaves me wondering exactly which metric from /proc/stat they are refering to. I mean it's presumably its user time, but I just dislike attempts to distill systems performance into a few graph comparisons. In reality the realized performance of a system is often better described given a narrative describing what bottlenecks the system.
The article is from the NY Post. This makes me question it right out the gate. And I just find it hard to believe that Twitter would want to keep something like this up, since it is illegal content. There is no incentive for them to do so, and the NY Post isn't the publication to dive into this at all.
I, ahem, had to look into this as a matter of intellectual curiosity -- there is an archive file in the "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" section which holds the .scr Windows screensaver file: https://archive.org/download/tucows_71077_Sung_Hi_Lee_2

(On another note, .scr-s are just renamed .exe-s, and it was a highly questionable choice to download and run those in their heyday as well.)

Alas, my app listing for ButtonWiz is gone (maybe I removed it years ago). It was listed in Windows Magazine as one of the top 10 shareware programs sometime around 1998.

Many works in museums are still under copyright. Art isn't equivalent with "ancient".

For photographs of out-of-copyright works, the question if the photo is itself a creative work protected by copyright is answered differently depending on jurisdiction. In the US and, by extension, for Wikimedia Commons, it generally isn't. In some European countries, it is.

I would generally subscribe to the idea that such photos are not protected. But it isn't quite as obvious as one might think. Taking high-quality photos of these artworks does involve a lot of work and, on occasion, maybe even creativity. What if I edit the photo afterwards to bring out the details? What if I chose special lighting conditions that interact with the pigments of the specific materials used?

> Watching videos and doing general exercises ... may actually make them worse.

That’s what you said, and I stand by my paraphrased assessment. Essentially watching a workout tape is bad for you is what you said whether that is what was intended.
The NY Post has a well known conservative bias, but that doesn't make their reporting illegitimate. You can disagree with their opinion pieces, but the factual reporting (in this case - that there's a lawsuit against Twitter) can be objectively checked.

Also as NYC'er, my take is that a lot of their opinions are quite accurate and correct.
Am I reading this right that "every employee who voted to unionize" refers to a total of 10 people, out of 2,000 who are being laid off? Or are those 10 just one example of a local union, but many others are among the 2,000?

He’s stated his reasoning many, many times. Legally speaking, keys do not prove identity. They prove access to keys which can be stolen.

Quite the opposite, it was created as a system to provide immutable evidentiary trails.

That may be median for your area and you may be happy with it.

To be fair, there were only TEN unionized employees at Instacart who were let go (out of 1900 jobs cut). With such a small percentage of the workforce unionized, it's highly unlikely those employees enjoyed any additional bargaining power or job security that could result from having a significant fraction of the workforce unionized.

With such a small fraction I don't think you can draw conclusions in either direction.

[edit] In other words: these employees would have lost their job regardless of their union status [/edit]

So 10 are unionized and they are laying off 2000?
So is the story that 10 people voted to unionize, and they are part of layoffs that affect 2000 people?

The title makes it sound like they were targeted.

Was Instacart so scared of unions that they burned 1990 good employees to get rid of 10 trouble makers? Or is this just standard operations?
And yet, all is still better than most. The IA's entire point of existence is to preserve that long tail stuff that doesn't get preserved otherwise, and they certainly currently hold on to things that are far less useful than literally anything on tucows was (for eg. a website I worked on in 1995 that probably only had a few hundred visitors even then).

I believe it reflects reality, or is at least a strong approximation of reality.

I think the cause to first order is economics. Second and third order terms with much less but still contributing importance are political (decades of policy failures like the War on Drugs and welfare expansion, for-profit prisons, etc), and cultural (there is far too much celebration of crime culture, gang culture, and respect culture that normalizes the state of things in the black community).

Can’t read the article as it is behind a paywall :|
Consider it this way: for most of history, men married women with "unstable prospects". They had no job opportunities, not even low-paid ones. Why?

Women don't require men to support them. But many still want life partners -- and for most women, they want those life partners to be men. Many would be thrilled with one who stayed home to care for children. Many would be happy with one who created art, not to support them but because it made for a rich life. Many women, all through history, have made satisfying lives while just scraping by.

Don't think of your dating life as a search for the best woman who will have you at your salary. Search out somebody who is kind, compassionate, funny, or whatever else it is that will make you smile when you come home, or when she comes home to you. You'll need money, and the money you each make is precisely the same shade of green, neither pink nor blue. If you make enough together to get by, you can lead a perfectly happy life.

If some men are unable to adapt to that fact of life, that is surely a problem with those men, not with women. Fixing it starts with not presenting modernity as a conspiracy against them.
Am I missing something? 10 unionized employees out of 2,000 total being laid off?
