Here's a list of some of my favorite books dealing with crisis:

- In Thin Air - About a mountaineering expedition that turned into disaster on Mount Everest.

- Black Hawk Down - The story of hundreds of US special forces trapped in Mogadishu overnight after a mission went completely sideways

- Leadership in Turbulent Times - About different US presidents leading through crisis and how there is no one singular type of leadership

- The Hard Thing about Hard Things - Leading a startup on the verge of failure to an eventual massive acquisition

- The Sledge Patrol - How a small group, outgunned and out manned fought back Nazi invaders in Greenland

I appreciate the more nuanced view of the way his entourage both enabled and tried to help him. Earlier coverage (that I saw) just focused on the fact that all his friends were on his payroll and were forbidden from trying to get him to rehab or an intervention. But it sounds like many were trying to help in ways they could come up with that Tony would tolerate - hiring the doctor, for example. And it sounds like his family had started considering a conservatorship, as well.

I'm glad to have the impression that he wasn't surrounded only by sycophants - it sounds like he was a fundamentally good person trying to do good in the world, and it's a more positive thought that many of his friends were trying to meet him where he was and get him back on track, rather than only enabling his downward spiral - though certainly it sounds like there was plenty of that, too.
As someone who has routinely ran into CSS quirks and unsupported features with Safari, I don't really see a problem with "the web" == Chromium, especially if the major web players (Apple, Firefox, Google, Microsoft) having an equal stake in the project.
It's probably a technique that has been slowly refined and perfected over the centuries. Selectively breeding grapes that preserve well, finding the correct mud and how much water to mix, working out that saucer shape and how many you can do at once. There are many years of gradual improvements baked into those grapes.
I dump all my stuff in a tool I made called Cras. Trello, Evernote, Calendar etc all feed it, I share into it from a browser-SPA-thing and all notes get one or more #tags - so all those tools I tried before are going away (where possible)

Search is powered by PostgreSQL tsvector.

Another feature is to resurface old items to be culled, reorg or just resaved. And it has some agenda rules like Anydo.

I tried loads of different tools and didn't find one that "clicked" so finally did this roll-your-own
I'm left saddened by this dogpile on the person you're replying to: this is a site for programmers, if Electron/having multiple copies of V8 is awful, they genuinely have a market opportunity. Google and Microsoft are pitching in on Flutter, for example.
Imagine losing all your work because a stray pointer in your word processor mistakenly pointed to a hardware register. Imagine not being able to upgrade the hardware or even the software, because programs access hardware directly and directly interact with internal OS data structures. Imagine having to essentially restart the computer and go through minutes of loading time to look something up in another piece of software.

I'm a big retro computing enthusiast, and I'm not happy about the current state of abstractions (especially with web stuff), but there's definitely been advancements also.

A house is consumption and it’s not a good investment. The value is in the land. Land in popular areas is extremely valuable and increasing in value all the time.

Yes, homeowners collude to restrict housing supply via regional politics. But the real problem is the centralization of jobs within big cities. This is bound up in the history of manufacturing in the west and the forces of globalization.

Remote work has the chance to reverse or at least slow this trend. In the short term it may lead to an explosion in real estate prices in areas within commuting distance of the big cities. In the long term I hope it leads to people spreading out a lot more and making housing affordable again.

"Electron sucks" is such repeated and dramatized trope, it's getting old.

Nobody runs 20+ Electron apps. Really, nobody runs 20+ apps.

The only people who need to buy a laptop with more than 8GB of RAM in 2021 have a specific workflow that they already know they need the RAM for - and that workflow never involves Electron, instead it involves something like video/photo editing, 3D graphics work, CAD, virtual machines and/or containers.

Heck, even gamers get away with 8GB easily, with nearly zero games from the PS4 era hitting performance limitations at that level. And really, does your MacBook Air have the graphical capability to run anything that could take advantage of more?

Slack using 300MB of RAM to send GIFs around isn't your problem, and end users don't stare at the Activity Monitor all day counting their bytes.

If the impact stopped at "large cloud providers" being unhappy, I think that you're correct. But I think we've seen considerably downstream "difficulty" for the rest of society from search essentially being consolidated into one private actor.
I've used this and it's invaluable for all types of things but a feeder for Google killers it is not.

They don't approach the scale of what Google crawls, they state as much. Nor do they do it on the same timeline as Google. This is really nice for research or kick starting a project but this isn't a long term viable solution for alternative search engines. Between breadth, depth, timeline/speed, priority, and information captured it falls well short.

> Factorio isn't a game about shooting things.

Thank you for providing additional information, but I already had a good idea of what Factorio is; that is how I know I would be addicted if I were to ever try it.

I was specifically criticizing the idea that a senior developer should automatically be more proficient than an intern at navigating the UI of a game - even when that game is Factorio. It's seems preposterous to me, even though it's a tiny detail in a larger essay.

typically rehashing is done during insert. if you were going to do it while not doing anything else with the hash table you'd have to use a background thread, and then you'd have to do some form of synchronization, so there would be significant additional complexity and overhead.
The advantage is that you have some control over your destiny independent of your job. If you piss off your boss, you don't lose your house.

All of these ideas to make workers more dependent on their benevolent overlords is basically creating a subservient population.
Not yet. Many people will move from the country to the city still. Many people in the city will also want more space as they gain wealth. Population won’t top out until the end of the century according to estimates I’ve seen.
They’re probably incredibly profitable in some places, and incredibly losing in others to kill off competition.

Those promos for restaurants, couriers and consumers don’t pay for themselves.
Ah, you're a docker zealot. I misread the joke.

You had a flash of self-awareness. Docker containers take massive amounts of disk space, and you need arcane knowledge just to use them. I'd rather focus on doing ML, not learning docker. In other words, "I'm getting to old for this." (33 is up there.)

It bugged me in the game industry when some old programmer said "shaders are a young person's game," implying that they wouldn't even look into how they worked. Now that I am that older programmer, or getting there, I see what they mean. Docker arcana is a young person’s game.

If Docker solved the reproducibility crisis, you might have a point. But it doesn't. Most of the crisis is the fact that (a) datasets are trapped behind institutions that won't make them available, (b) the models themselves aren't made available (OpenAI), and (c) the code itself isn't available (also OpenAI).

Those three things are the main problem. Forcing everyone to use a 30GB docker container just to do basic ML isn't going to do anything but waste time and turn newbies away from ML.

You're a fine debator though. It was an enjoyable read; have an upvote.
>Will the published caches be 99% crap

Yes. It will be exactly as crap as whatever's published on the web.

And the utility of google's search engine would be to perform their proprietary processing on top of the publicly-available crawl results. Analogous to how their search is already preforming proprietary processing on top of a crawl cache.

>If you don't then you fail to appreciate the amount of labor it takes to thwart bad actors from ruining indexes.

Did you miss the part where I said "Assuming this hypothetical shared crawl cache were to exist, it does not preclude google (and all consumers of that cache) doing their own processing downstream of that cache. Does it?"
I have yet to run in to any bugs. The speed difference between anything else and Safari is shocking. My Ryzen 3700 with 32GB of ram cannot come close to matching the performance of Safari even on an Ipad 4.
Buses/light rail can increase the frequency during peak hours, a bus full of riders will pay for itself pretty easily. Restaurants are about to have access to their outdoor dining parklets they have built + their existing indoor capacity, which will likely make it much easier to find a spot for brunch. Cheaper prices will allow people to live closer to work and reduce traffic.

Homeless is a tough one. I'd say that reduced housing prices would help, but I think that will just reduce the rate of new homeless. I personally thing that we need to aggressively force them to seek help or get out of the most expensive city in the world. Saving up enough to find a place in SF in near impossible, and hacks like homeless shelters are often full of crime and reduce the housing supply for low income families.

We already fucked up the housing market with prop 13 throwing off the supply, we need to build a huge supply to counter that (unfortunately repealing prop 13 remains the 3rd rail in CA politics).
Rent to buy is a good strategy because you can justify to yourself living in a crappier place than you would want to own outright. Over time that allows you to purchase a house at a lower total outlay, including the rent you paid. During that saving period you also had the additional hard to quantify benefit of being able to move quickly and cheaply.

If you are doing rent to buy but living in frothy areas where rents are always rising and apartments rent for 4k then obviously it's not going to be a winning strategy for you.
Lowers space and efficiency adds cost and now you have human waste you need to deal with. What does ups and fedex do?
Material costs are up right now from my understanding. I assume that is part of the issue.

In my area the issue was land to build on. The main undeveloped areas are either national forest or farmland the majority of which is owned by just a couple families who are not in a hurry to sell it off.
yeah grandpa, its the participation awards which are the problem, not the hopelessly rising prices with stagnant incomes /s

I saw this soon after they tweeted it. I personally found it to be utterly pathetic, even before Klippenstein exposed it as a lie later that day. Extremely condescending, but also tone deaf and ignorant. A lesson on what not to do in public relations.
1. Most valuable land have buildings or housing on it already so it’s kind of inseparable.

2. There’s plenty of reasons land can lose value: people moving away, economic, environmental (climate change), cultural changes. Population growth is projected to peak in 2070.

3. (Land appreciation - inflation) has to be higher then property taxes at least. There’s also opportunity cost of not using that money to buy another investment instead.

What a very thorough reply. Are you saying that right now, you would rather be in the EU? Frankly, I would rather be able to go to the pub. Have some nationalistic pride (assuming you are British) and please don't encourage the discarding of our currency.
In the US eggs sold retail are required to be pressure washed. This removes the waxy coating that makes the egg airtight. So in the US eggs absolutely do need to go in the fridge, unless you have your own chickens or such. At room temp they'll spoil within about 2 days.

It depends on the fruit but many of them will last longer in the fridge. Same goes for cured meat and jams. Especially with jam you may not eat it often enough to stop it from molding at room temps.

I get making fun of stupid American habits is an EU pastime, but this is some pretty dumb stereotyping. There's rational reasons behind what most people are doing, even if it's a little different from the habits where you live.
>Average home tenure is 8 - 10 years, most of the time when people sell a home they are turning around immediately and buying one. Suppose I buy a $100,000 house and it grows 5% per annum in value for 10 years. I sell for $162,889. I turn around and want to buy the house I could not afford initially that started at $200,000; well that costs $325,779. Suppose I collude with other voters and get a 10% annual increase in value through zoning. Okay, my house is now worth $259,374, but the house I want to buy is $518,748. To whit, it costs me $96,485 more to upgrade my house.

>Even with the leverage that comes from getting all the value increases for only a fraction of the initial cost, it is a pretty rare market where the average homeowner will be better off by raising home values.

>Frankly the only time this sort of argument makes any sense is if people are planning on moving to far less expensive areas (e.g. retiring to the country) or if they plan to never purchase a home again.

Why do people keep calling this ship the "Ever Given" When in all the photos i've seen so far of it clearly show the name "Evergreen" on the side in HUGE letters..
Nice detective work :)
Yup. Canada's F-18Cs (aka CF-18s) are ancient and were so bashed up that we ended up buying used Australian leftovers for parts and repair as a stopgap until we can decide what we're doing for our next-gen fighters.

Basically we're procrastinating on the decision because the F-35 is at once the best and worst option - our closest allies are heavily standardized on it. But it's also a boondoggle.

For a while Canada looked to be moving up to the modernized version of the F-18 platform, the F/A-18 Super Hornet. But then Boeing started a fight with Bombardier, a company that the Canadian Liberal government is very protective of. So the plans to invest in F/A-18 planes was scrapped.

So Canada is basically endlessly procrastinating on what new jet to buy because of the F-35 boondoggle.
I wonder if there’s some HTTP3 style transform we can do where requests that show up in clumps get sent to the backend together after the ones that have already been cached are culled.

Particularly with normalized data, I’ve found it quite common that 80% of my data for some workflows is highly predictable but that last 20% that makes the interaction unique either causes the request to become whole cloth or results in very complicated code, sometimes with very bad (worse than nothing) cold cache behavior.

As an extension to your comment, the disclaimer above the source [1] of the macrumors post, for context:

This got a lot more attention than it deserves. As I'm pointing out below, it's likely the case that the system tool I used for measuring memory footprint isn't giving the full picture. It's also not a very indicative test in terms of every day use. However, I do think the reason this resonated with so many people is that most of us have heard the fans cool down when they exit Chrome. I'll see if I can find a better way to measure that. Stay tuned on @mortenjust

So indeed, these statistics are unreliable at best and likely inaccurate or incomplete. They were recorded through psrecord[2] which doesn't record all the processes for Safari.

I live in the Vancouver area, where city councils are almost entirely populated by developers or candidates supported by developers. So by all appearances, it's friendly to developers.

What's wrong with this picture? Developers love building luxury condos. 3-bedroom apartments? Not sexy. Low income housing? Not sexy. Unoccupied luxury condos? No problem, refusing to sell keeps those valuations up, which you write off as a loss -- easy $0 tax bill!

And then the really juicy shit. We're expanding mass transit! Great, right? Stations are great place to put the high density, walkable neighborhoods! But who chose the locations of the stops? Developer-controlled city councils. It reeks of self-dealing, especially when it appears that the developers bought up the land before the station locations were announced...

So. Be careful what you wish for. It's not just "new developments" that we need, it's high density, affordable housing.
I'm a little confused by this take: editorializing doesn't happen anymore, which is sad. It doesn't happen anymore because editorializing occurs, which is good, because editorializing is bad?
Fascinating. I would love to know the income distribution of household size. Middle class people have the fewest kids now a days. Wealthy people and low-income people have more children.
Why do numbers always get removed from titles here? I think four years in solitary gives a significantly different vibe than this editorialized version.

> And I guess, for those super-critical builds, don't rely on anything but the distro repos or upstream downloads for tooling?

You can build more tooling by building it in the trusted build environment using trusted tools. Not everything has to be a distro package, but the provenance of each binary needs to be verifiable. That can include building your own custom tools from a particular commit hash that you trust.
The guy ran from an abusive home when he was 14. He couldn't find shelter and landed on the streets. He turned to drug trade as a way to feed himself. Then, at some point, he was shot 4 times. Someone called 911, but the ambulance never arrived. His acquaintance drove him to hospital, where he was treated for two days, then shoved back on the streets. With one bullet still in his body. Then, he decided to get a gun for himself. Then he actually used that gun on someone like him, and the other guy unfortunately died. This could have been manslaughter, but there were drugs involved, and you gotta be tough on drug crimes, so he got 19 years, even though people in your country, in similar cases, routinely leave prison after 5-6 years.

Your society failed him on so many levels, and so many times, that it would be a miracle if he didn't land in prison sooner or later.

Fast forward to today, he served his sentence in full and when he got out, he couldn't rent an apartament or find a job. The punishment was supposed to have ended, but it didn't: he has "criminal record", which makes him - in your society - somehow less than a human being.

He somehow lived through this, got a job, wrote a book, started advocating for better prison conditions, started helping inmates in prisons around him.

And now, there's a robdachshund who wants to deny all the good the guy did, want to have him carry a stigma for the rest of his life, and want to take his livelihood from him.

America - I won't ever understand you. I wouldn't want to be a part of a society of such robdachshunds ever, there's not enough money on the whole planet to convince me otherwise.
Americans keep eggs in the fridge because American farming regulations result in eggs covered in poo, which need to be washed. The washing process destroys the protective layer of the egg, which means that it will spoilt outside of the fridge.

In Europe our regulations mean that the chickens are kept in much cleaner conditions; our eggs don't need to be cleaned so keep their protective layer and can be kept outside of the fridge.
> Wikipedia isn't monetized.

No, but they often ask for donations when you visit the site, which people won't see if they just see the in-line blurb from Wikipedia on the Google results page.

> In 2019 - Google donated $2M [1]. In 2010, Google also donated $2m [2].

$2M is a pittance compared to what I expect Google believes is the value of their Wikipedia blurbs. If Wikipedia could charge for use of this data (which another commenter claims they are working on doing), they could easily make orders of magnitude more money from Google.

Of course, my expectation is that Google would rather drop the Wikipedia blurbs entirely, or source the data elsewhere, than pay significantly more.

In C# this would just be called a Repository pattern, and often you would handle caching externally, in a datatstore separate from your database or at the request layer (though there are obviously mature in-memory cache options).

I haven't used GraphQL much but things like this make it seem that it's not a great general use case framework- if you don't really need it, save yourself from a bunch of extra logic in your application code.
