Yes, and I object to that goal being either achievable or reasonable.

I'm sure some therapists believe it is both, and that they are some kind of universal therapists.

I assume these are the therapists I hear about from friends and online acquaintances when they describe a therapist as friendly, approachable, but ultimately both clueless and hopeless.

I have mostly heard this kind of feedback from non-white and LGBT friends, for what it's worth.
You can start by taking value provided and dividing by number of people involved. I can almost promise the number you get is higher than people’s existing salary. Even after accounting for overhead.
> But the main point is that you have to really think about how to re-architect your software to take advantage of huge multi-processor machines.

I appreciate the response but it doesn't address my question: given that Let's Encrypt's MySQL-family RDBMS does not implement any of the multi-core/multi-socket/cpu-affinity/lock-free/asyncIO techniques used by databases like ScyllaDB, MemSQL, and VoltDB, why were they seeing 90% CPU utilization on their old Intel servers while the upgraded AMD servers were 25% (the expected range)?

I think mike_d's suggestion is most plausible: they probably included custom functions/procedures that invoke CPU-expensive code. I also thought this was a single-node scale-up architecture but since they are using a three-or-more node master/slave architecture, network I/O could somehow be involved.
> I think the bottom line is that if a business is based on an open source product then that business should be looking at it as something with a life, and a coming natural death (of being able to be the only/main support company for it at least), and plan accordingly. It might not happen, but you can't count on it being exclusive forever, especially if it's actually lucrative.

Amazing. I think capitalism wouldn't be hurt if occasionally companies made the choice to end themselves "get out while you're no top" and distribute their wealth to the stakeholders, ideally with some sort of bonus to the terminal employees. Of course, the employees might not like that, but it is an attitude of entitlement (if an understandable one) to think that you should have a job for life.
It happened so gradually I wasn't sure if I was imagining it.

Then I gave a shot using DuckDuckGo for a few days and boy was it apparent how far Google search has fallen.

And to think I resisted DDG for so long based on the silly name, thinking it can't be a serious search engine with that name. But now I realize, "Google" is just as dumb a name, so part of the blame lies with myself.
What is NVMe and why is it important
> the majority of software developers here don't like digital locks on creative work so write digital keys to circumvent them

That probably explains why they never use DRM-based app stores like those from Apple, Valve, Epic, Sony, etc..
> ES and other companies have a business that sells a managed version of their product. This is how they sustain developers to continue working on Elastic Search. This model has worked for companies long before cloud providers were a thing. What AWS and others basically did is create identical services, keep all the profits, and exploit gaps in Open Source licensing to this end.

First, Elastic sells a buckload of licenses for on-premises ELK, which is a vastly bigger market than managed services. And second, how is Amazon different from "other companies" you mention? Just because they're bigger and have a ton of experience with managed services they should be forbidden from offering managed ELK?

> they could have chosen AGPL if they wanted someone hosting a service to publish their changes, for example.

So... you admit that the people who created the GPL decided their license wasn't sufficient to cover a certain usecase and revised it to cover it. But you think it's unfair to call this a "gap" that ES is now trying to close?

EDIT: I do think it's fair to point out ways in which the new license for ES is worse than the AGPL, but I do think it's important to point out that it's possible to believe in open source licenses and to think that the way AWS uses software violates the spirit of open source. The people who work on GNU seem to think that!
I hear you. I agree that there's the incentive for platforms to serve content you want to see and will engage with but is it Facebook's responsibility to stop you from becoming more extreme? How do you even define extreme? There's obvious answers but I'm sure there's a lot less obvious ones too that are impossible to police.
This is exactly the confusion I'm talking about.

Stallman and the OSI do _not_ agree on "Libre software" and "Open Source" - in a quite fundamental way.

"The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different values. The free software movement campaigns for freedom for the users of computing; it is a movement for freedom and justice. By contrast, the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles. This is why we do not agree with open source, and do not use that term."

You mean continuously variable transmissions? Those could work in an EV I suppose. I don't know much about CVTs but I think the general complaints against them are that they tend to have a narrower highest-to-lowest gear ratio range than a traditional geared transmission, and it's hard to build them to handle large amounts of power.
You make a good point. I appreciate the discussion.

This has been an interesting rabbit hole. I just took a look at democracy ratings, comparing different countries over time. I'm still reading about Switzerland, how it works, the pros and cons, etc.

Back to the original post in this thread, implying that governments were being totalitarian with lockdowns, and the reply saying that these governments were democracies... I would now say that being a democracy doesn't mean leaders couldn't implement totalitarian measures (using the term loosely), but it should be easier for a population to change course in a democracy than otherwise.
Well, I first checked /etc/resolv.conf which told me to change the dns settings in systemd. So I read up on the systemd documentation and tried to change the dns setting using systemd-resolved but got a permissions error. So I did a bunch of reading online and found out that netplan is actually used to configure the dns so I spent some time reading the netplan documentation on how to change the dns server. This process took me about an hour.
Yeah, but like your example, the company keeps the money.

> Most people are about as smart as you.

You're introducing fuzzy language/approximations, which I was avoiding: one can say - in absolute terms - that any person above the median is smarter than most of the population.

An IQ band of 85 to 115 has 68% of the population, but are those at the lower end "as smart" as the upper end? The accuracy of your statement depends entirely on how wide your histogram bands are.

I think the fact that you've been downvoted only validates your point. I agree that I think the idea of "open source" has veered so far away now from Free Software ideals that this is the only reasonable outcome, even if it was not desired. The Open Source vs. Free Software people kept saying they were fundamentally the same but one was more palatable to commercial entities, but the (granted, not the most pleasant) "free software fundamentalists" called this outcome a mile away.
Because rent has a tendency to always increase, as supply is necessarily limited. Even the very highest density cities like Hong Kong have extraordinarily high rents.

The reality is that the demand for housing is inelastic. We as a society don't want people to move out from city to city constantly, so we strongly inelastic demand.

Empirically, rent increases 6-7% every year on average. According to the statistics in the article, to counteract this, supply would have to increase 60%/year on top of the current rate, every year. This is impossible. Thus, market solutions are not enough.

This bears out in the real world, where all big cities that are affordable have a combination of sane zoning, rent control, and public housing, whereas simply increasing supply does not work, with HK as an example.
Yes, similar idea, except a change in a dependency in nix triggers a rebuild of all dependents, whereas it does not in ostree.

In Docker...it depends.
I addressed those claims in my last paragraph.
I'm very interested about the aliases, but I'm not sure that I understand it correctly. I have a example00@fastmail.com address, does this mean that I can also register example01@fastmail.com and example02@fastmail.com as an alias on my account, and it will seem like I have three accounts and recipients will never known about example00@fastmail.com if I send from one of the two aliases? Do I then also "own" example01@fastmail.com and example02@fastmail.com in the same way I "own" example00@fastmail.com while a customer?. If understood correctly, I could register an alias for mailing lists, and disable it if too much spam is received without ruining my main address.
It's been a while, but I can't say I recall calls to violence, much less ones that were acted on, back then. Of course, I wasn't paying as much attention. Birtherism (which was trump led for a while) was lighter weight than q and the more recent stuff.
> The proper solution would be to publish the code along with the paper so that others could directly review it. Ideally, the raw data would also be published,

Definitely. Some journals and conferences have badging for papers that also submit their digital artifacts, and also for experiments that have been independently reproduced.

Personally I'd like to see entire journals or conference sessions where the code and experimental data for every paper are available for review.

Sometimes authors can't submit their code for corporate IP reasons and data for privacy or other reasons, but the more digital artifacts that can be submitted, reviewed, and built upon, the better.
Beware when piping awk | gnuplot or especially awk | awk: when printing numbers, awk by default prints them with something like %.6g, which can lose important amounts of precision. There are two ways this can happen. Firstly when numbers are implicitly converted to strings, eg for concatenation; and secondly when they are printed directly. These conversations are controlled by two different variables which may be set to printf directives to get higher precision.
+1. I must admit I find it a bit rich that people are raising free speech issues around this situation. I find myself wondering where these people were in 2014 when all the major social media platforms systematically removed ISIS accounts and content from their systems. I don't recall anyone lamenting that move and the chilling effects it had on free speech. In fact, iirc the response was quite the opposite.
Well, just to cite one factor, it might work better under conditions where we aren't literally putting people's lives at risk by asking them to shop instead of us shopping for ourselves.

In other words, conditions in which the pool of labor is less heinously and obviously exploited and better workers are easier to recruit for the job in question.
Sounds like an extremely elegant approach as described, would be delighted to see. Wonder if it can be leveraged in other contexts like phones/tools.
I've been told by CPU engineers at Apple that they're not paid very well, especially compared to software, but that competitors just pay slightly less.

Twitter just removed the top Antifa accounts after the last fews days of major violence in Seattle and Oregon, why not the last 4+ years? The capitol hill mob was planned on facebook, facebook didnt get deplatformed.

Deplatforming new startups that try to compete by the largest tech companies shouldn't depend if the startups are in the opposite political party as the tech monopolies. Let law enforcement, courts, deal with it. Deplatforming your competing political party seems to be too praised by people today. If its illegal content, we have law enforcement and courts for that.

I personally think this deteriorated the in-store shopping experience. There were too many folks running around - it's a different vibe. Never felt that even when stores were packed with regular customers. In addition, some stores blocked out quite a big area within the store for fulling these orders as staging area.

I wonder if they could have that staging area in the back (warehouse or what ever it is called), which wouldn't directly impact the in-store shoppers.
It seems like the same cheesy play though. Pick one mystical toxin, which supposedly only Russia knows how to make although everybody knows how to identify it, and blame it on Putin! I am not a fan of Putin, but some people really think we're idiots - and, obviously, many are!
“Democrat” is the singular noun form, “Democrats” is the plural noun form, “Democratic” is the adjective form, and “Democrat”-as-adjective is the “signal that the speaker is a hostile partisan" form. They are all useful distinctions.
"Left-NIMBYs" are not opposed to increases in density. What they are opposed to is short-sighted pure free market solutions, which is what would happen if they gave way.

Strategically, the current situation is preferable to deregulation of housing, which will not only not fix the rent problem, but also reduce quality of life and displace existing communities.

The solution here is to make an alliance with the progressive left for an actually effective solution that implies increasing density, while building public housing and having well-tuned rent control systems in place.
AWS has known all along what they are doing with this OSS strategy. They are the only provider that doesn't lose by having heavily commoditized, open source backend software - they can support profitable operations at a much lower cost point than these mid-sized companies like Elastic/Mongo

Elastic, and the "open source business model" companies certainly should have seen this coming. But the attitude in the early 2010s was 'lol open source fun, figure out business model later' and somehow VCs bit and a company like Elastic could take off. They shouldn't have been surprised.

I would rather live in a world where a mid-sized company like Elastic could thrive than an AWS monoculture. Most things Amazon make me feel icky... but I also feel like this is the reality of open source... its not really open source if it's entirely associated with one company..

"Rehiring retired people to me signals the new CEO has no trust in people that already are there. And that is usually bad news."

That's right. Any time an organization goes with "let's bring back the band," I become a little more skeptical than before. Not just because of what it implies on the quality of the bench, but I'm also wary of this halo effect of the good old days masking what's really needed today instead of living in yesteryear.

Gelsinger seems like a pretty good pick for Intel given how disastrous their last CEO search went, but in the earnings call today, there was a lot of invoking the Old Gods and Intel history. I get why they're doing it, but it's a different competitive landscape and Intel today.

If you redirect this output to a file, that file contains the ANSI escape sequences. If you then use the cat command on the file, you see the coloring as the ANSI escape sequences are rendered by the terminal."

I've gotta say, I don't read conservative papers, but I follow news closely, and up to this day I didn't know about the bugs. The media landscape is crazy.

However, it looks like they've been updating the model (and are at version 10 on github). I have no idea what their results look like now.
Same here. I manage a handful of projects (10+ websites) and won't touch Elastic with a 10 foot pole now that they aren't Apache anymore. It actually doesn't matter how much they yell about their "intent." – It's an unproven license with some restrictions and I don't even want the headache and cost of having to talk to lawyers about why "it'll be fine!!" or even waste a minute during a meeting about the license impacts of solving any of the problems we face.

The ambiguity is just simply not worth the cognitive overhead. I have enough to worry about without this silly game Elastic's playing where we (customers, users) are left having to figure out the legal ambiguities and wink-winks of their new license.

And right now, we're actively searching/researching a self-hosted log analysis solution. And we've been looking at Elastic's offering and comparing it to self-hosting. Not anymore.
Ask HN: Why does this ad window in macOS Catalina have no close/dismiss option?
I don't know where to submit screen captures to be viewable by anyone without creating accounts and such but here is a URL to the app the ad in this window is advertising for: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1525556960?mt=12

The first screenshot is what I see on my screen, except with a message at the top saying "Mirror My Screen (formerly MKMirror) - Free Download expires soon"
and a "Download on the Mac App Store" button at the bottom.

Why isn't there any way to close this window without having to click this button in particular? And to be more clear, I cannot close it with Activity Monitor or Force Quit it in any way.

At first, I wasn't sure if it was a browser popup window and clicking anywhere in the window doesn't show me what macOS app this belongs to. For all I knew, it could've been malicious in nature and I wouldn't have known until clicking the button.

Finally, this window appeared after installing updates for macOS Catalina, I've mostly avoided going to Big Sur for now.

Not everything is a cloud-based VC-backed startup. As big as AWS is, they still miss out on a giant chunk of companies who don't want or are not allowed to go into the cloud, which is why AWS-on-premise exists.
I checked out Newton’s Principia in graduate school. It’s incomprehensible because it heavily uses geometric arguments that basically no one uses these days. It’s hard stuff and looks nothing like modern calculus. I think it was L’Hospital’s book that actually looks very similar to modern-day calculus.

Leibniz’ work, from what little I’ve seen is a bit more readable, mainly because he was concerned with the conceptual-ness of it all.

Feynman, for a challenge, decided to do things the old-school geometric way, and he reported it was “damn hard”.

They might average that, but we all know averages only work on paper. For example, AWS has tutorials that provide instructions on how to setup TLS in a LAMP stack running on Linux 2 EC2s. As part of the Let's Encrypt setup, they provide a crontab entry that runs twice a day with a copy option to paste. How many EC2s all hit the Let's Encrypt server at that exact time? Since EC2s default to UTC time, that means that servers are not offsetting those requests by timezones, so that means an even bigger spike.

Well I assume the set of natural numbers exist, by the axiom of infinity. From there you can construct the set of rationals. And you can construct the power set of the set of rationals, by the axiom of the power set. And the set of all Dedekind cuts is a subset of the power set of rationals satisfying those properties listed above, which we can construct by the axiom schema of separation. All of this is Zermelo-Frankel set theory, don't even need the axiom of choice.
We tried similar service in concept, called Teamflow. I manage a team of 12 people and thought it would be great to create serendipitous connections. It was fun the first couple of days. Lot of improptu conversations happened. Within 4 days, novelty effect wore off and I was all alone there.

I think the main problem around adopting such tech is that, existing workflows and habit loops are pretty mature (though not ideal). Zoom / hangout meetings, chat on slack etc. Because of that, it's hard to 'remember' to login to such virtual office spaces that would enable those convos.

I want to hear if there are teams that were able to adopt successfully and what level of early enforcement was required to create that habit loop (i personally hate such enforcement, but might not avoidable).
