> multi level marketing

This phrase has a specific meaning I’m quite sure you did not intend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing

Perhaps “requires a multi-pronged approach” captures your meaning clearly?
I find NFC infinitely easier to use - tap and done vs. open camera app, point, wait for it to focus, then go.
Just like white/male privilege in America that is made up by people who like to blame others for their failures in life. Tons of victim complex in America.

It is a metaphor for disposable product culture and that corps would focus on profits and only profits, if it doesn't make money throw it out / destroy it. (A fear that has arguably come to pass). Triggering the self-destruct is stand in for tossing in waste dump.
> However, when pinning, when one of your static dependencies is broken due to a change outside your control (e.g. hardware, operating system, security issue making it unusable, or something else), the user's only recourse is to call the developer to fix the software.

In practice, this happens so infrequently it can be ignored as a risk. (When it does happen, users generally don't expect the software to continue to work.)

> dynamic linking has at least one extra advantage...

You don't seem to be acknowledging the downside risk to dynamic linking which motivates the discussion in the first place. An update to a dynamically linked dependency which breaks my delivered artifact is an extremely common event in practice.
The rules of the game encourage a winnowing over time. Honesty is a useful strategy much of the time. The fact that it is a strategy, not a life code, bothers people.

But this is a game of geopolitics and power. Many people aren't comfortable with the implications.

Good point. That's a second-order effect I had not considered. However, orbital mechanics being what it is, that would not result in the Earth "sinking into the sun," which is the claim I was responding to.

You joke (I think), but given what happened to the "master" branch on GitHub, it seems likely that some people will try to push the point, and, if they make enough noise, it's likely that the organizations involved will eventually cave (not the chess grandmasters (!), but the administrator types).

Distros are great for off-the-shelf software especially if you don't care which version you get too much. When versions matter, you quickly get into dependency-hell. So long-lived software tend to stabilize, and then remain unchanged.

K8s, go and even ruby, tend to change and evolve. It's usually a bad idea to pull such software from distros then, even if available.

The means to get software is simply too different, and it's a non-problem for everyone but completist distro maintainers.

For interactive use, sqlite queries are snappier than pandas at the ~4gb dataset size. I’ve switched over for some logfile analysis tasks and both memory usage and speed are a bit better.

They’re not massive differences but i definitely appreciate the snappiness. Interactive work is just nicer that way.

Nobody was under any impression that decarbonizing the energy sector would cost more than continuing to emit carbon.

The reality is that renewables have no plan to eliminate carbon emissions that isn't contingent on a massive breakthrough in energy storage. The US currently had under 10 minutes of energy storage. Renewables offer better carbon emissions reductions on a dollar by dollar basis until they saturate the market during peak production. Then they don't help.

Sure, nuclear is more expensive but it is the only existing solution that aims to actually eliminate carbon emissions. Not just supplement fossil fuels.
> Correct me if I'm wrong (really) but isn't static linking mostly a problem for packagers? The less a package maintainer modifies the application the better IMO.

IMHO that's precisely why dependencies should be unpinned.

Let's say application A relies on dependencies B, C, and D, and dependencies B, C, and D depend on dependency E. Let's say dependency E has a critical security vulnerability and needs to be updated today to E'.

Let's say you have unpinned versions:

The packager for E updates E to E'. The end.

Let's say you have pinned versions:

The developer for B updates package B to depend on E', the developer for C updates C to depend on E', the developer for D updates D to depend on E', the developer for A updates A to depend on B', C', and D'. The packager for B updates the package for B, the packager for C updates the package for C, the packager for D updates the package for D, and the packager for A updates the package for A.

You'll notice that there's a timing issue here. The packager for C cannot move until the developer for C has done the work, the developer for A cannot move until the developer for B, C, and D have done their work, and the packager for A cannot do anything until everyone has completed their work. If, for instance, the developers for C all live in Texas and their power's been out for a few days, and when they get power back they're busy with other stuff for a while, it might take quite some time for C's developers to get an official package posted. But it's that important that A gets updated, because A is a network service with a port open to the internet and E is openssl or whatever. So now what?

In a perfect world, all software dependencies would have active, attentive, prompt maintainers, but it tends to not be that way. Lots of critical internet infrastructure packages have a maintainer who's just some random person in Nebraska, and they go on vacation, or lose interest, go to sleep at night, go to little league games on the weekend, some of them have day jobs. If we lived in a world where Apache can't be updated to use the latest dynamic library for openssl because the developer for leftpad is watching a movie and has their phone turned off, that's a very serious problem, and it's a crazy world I would not want to be a sysadmin in.

Certainly, maybe the packager for E is gonna be off this week, but a distro's packaging team tends to have a much easier time filling in for a maintainer who's away if the package is loosely coupled with the application's build process. 90% of the time, if a package in Gentoo requires an update, all you need to do is `mv foo-1.2.3.ebuild foo-1.2.4.ebuild`, `repoman manifest` and git commit+push. (I can't speak for other distros.)

The system isn't perfect, but IMHO it's much more robust to the unfortunate realities of the ugly, soft underbelly of the world than static linking is.
To be fair you need to go to the hypervisor level (like Firecracker) to get any decent level of sandboxing.

They both have replies, so better not to delete - but I wouldn't worry about it. As long as it's truly relevant and not a habit, you should be fine.
Sounds like you can't have multiple processes concurrently access it while it's being updated, even if the updates are small and infrequent (you'd have to load the whole database into memory and write it back out again if I've understood your comment correctly?).

With SQLite you can have multiple processes access the same database and they can make changes to it that are immediately seen by the other processes. The nature of SQLite locks means this doesn't scale well if you have lots of processes all wanting to make heavy updates, but so long as you're not in that situation it works very well.
This is a privileged take.

You should ask a censored Belarusian, a national currency deprived Venezuelan, or a Nigerian receiving a remittance from a family member about btc.

You should ask an Argentinian, a Turk, or a Zimbabwean about currency debasement.

As most people do, you are severely underestimating how much data sqlite can quickly work with. I doubt that any csv based solution could compete.

CAD doesn't really use GPU power, only a basic viewport that any integrated potato can render. Related simulation stuff (CFD, FEM) can be done with GPU compute but it seems that CPU is usually good enough.

Probably the most critical usage of GPUs is scientific simulations for biology/medicine, climate, space, etc.

There's an important part in that definition: "commercial radio station" - the general premise of telecommunications regulation has been that using a finite resource (radio spectrum) comes with obligations (FCC licensing, content restrictions, etc).

Internet streaming doesn't fit into that "finite resource" model.

> I'm from Germany and our power is around 35 cents per khw.

I don't know if this is a typo or just a slightly different way of writing it in German, but now I'm trying to work out exactly what a "kilohour watt" would be. I think it's just a millionth of a kilowatt hour? Definitely wouldn't want to be paying those prices!

I can't find anywhere genuinely using that unit, although it is mentioned in this 1979 9th grade Electrics curriculum as part of a True-or-False quiz at page 370: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED182438.pdf

History of fair use and lack of precedent says it's not as definitive as you assert.
It's a good question. It did not have to be designed this way, and indeed there have existed for some decades now DNS content server softwares that hide this indirection from administrators as a convenience, and synthesize the intermediate domain names if necessary. For example, the back-end database for tinydns has "@" records in its source data files, and an administrator can (optionally) just enter:

@example.net:192.0.2.0::10

tinydns synthesizes "mx.example.net." for the intermediate domain name.

* http://jdebp.uk./Softwares/djbwares/guide/commands/tinydns-d...

That said, the SMTP Relay server needs to know that "mx.example.net." is one of its names, if it is a fallback server.

One can envision a world where records in the DNS database map a (domain,service,transport) tuple directly to a set of (address,port,preference,weight) tuples, where that is what administrators consistently deal with for everything, where that is how the on-the-wire protocol actually works, and where SMTP Relay loop prevention works by comparing IP addresses; but SMTP doesn't work like that, the DNS did not start out like that, the DNS has gone through at least two iterations to even get to where it is now with SRV and MX records, and the DNS has grown through fitting new mechanisms against existing ones.

One point about "mx.example.net.": If the intermediate domain names are in-bailiwick like that, and the MX response contains "glue", then it is not actually "one additional request".
The problem with this hypothetical is that there is a non zero chance that generator will cause problems. Worse, if it is profitable, expect cheating and corners to be cut.

Is especially odd, in that a well regulated power market seems to handle this better. Yes, other places had outages. Not comparable in scale, though.

There is also the oddity that similar arguments could be made that you could get medication on the street market. Why would anyone cut corners there? :). Surely, if you are in need, you should be allowed to buy someone else's medication from them at stupid high prices?

Edit: so to directly answer what I would rather do if I was in Texas. I would rather have had risk of failure properly priced into the market such that they were more ready to deal with it.
I've played face to face games of this three times. Twice with seven players once with two. The two-player game is interesting but a very different experience. I came across a variant set of rules for two players some years ago that I ended up putting on my personal website sometime in the 90s.

What are things that are actually bad about SQLite compared to the alternative you're suggesting?

Atlantic Canada was able to wipe out the virus completely early in the pandemic. But travel keeps bringing it in, causing outbreaks here and there, but each time so far they have gotten The outbreaks under control. Cases per capita are about a tenth of the rest of Canada, which in turn is half of what it is in the us. And ironically, restrictions here are less than in many hard hit areas.

It’s true that companies don’t like that. It’s also true that common advice to people experiencing some kind of workplace harassment or abuse or bullying is to follow up to verbal conversations in writing, and to keep your own copies of those documents in case the company decides to accidentally delete them before they get a subpoena or whatever.

So a question is then whether it’s morally sufficient for someone to be fired for this sort of behaviour. It feels to me like the reason for the firing was not really at all related to breaking the written policies in the company handbook and a lot more related to breaking the unwritten policies about stirring up trouble and dissent.

One of the reasons is simply that human hands are densely covered with mechanoreceptors that transmit a lot of information and are better than sensors for robotic hands.
This is the reason we have consumer regulation. Markets are volatile. Markets are complicated.
