I use cut instead of awk, at least for logs like apache or ones with fixed amount of spaces between fields, because it means less parsing/work, specially for summarizing long log files. Also use cat of the log as input, because is the same pattern for zcat/grep/zgrep if the input is compressed or I did some selection of records before.

Some of the records you may have to search could have the port attached (i.e. output of netstat, haproxy logs or others) so for stripping them I add

rev | cut -d ":" -f 2- | rev

on the list of IPs to not get messed up with IPv6 records.

The irony is real erasers, sometimes even UL and OSHA approved, have cost less than ten eprom chips since the 80s, and have always cost a quarter to a tenth what an eprom programmer costs, so all the effort and danger is not saving very much.

Ten eproms seems like a lot to people born after the eprom era, but when every build and test cycle requires at least one (or maybe 2 for a 16 bit system, etc) then you can see why people tended to accumulate a hoard of eproms so they'd always have clean erased ready to use ones while actively programming, and erase was done in bulk either because the eraser held 16 chips at once or the erase process could be done in parallel with downtime (while watching TV or something).

Also in some cases during the transition era of UV to EEPROM hardware I remember some EEPROMs were pin for pin compatible with some EPROMs and nobody likes waiting for UV, EEPROMs are simply faster. Obviously not all EPROMs have an identical or faster EEPROM twin, but "many" do.

The set of patent applicants and actual innovators overlaps a little but not much.

You can try to defend many different kinds of monopolies using the jobs argument. A lot of things, like eg shoes, would be more expensive, and have higher paid positions for the employees, if their production was artificially constrained.

I don't believe we have to choose between "act like a corporation" and "run up impossible debts for future generations". You are right that pre-funding benefits is good, but the sabotage I'm referring to is pretending the postal service is a business, changing its financial obligations without changing its service obligations, and then complaining that it's "losing money". A government service does not need to make a profit, and talking about "profits" at all is nonsensical. How many billions do public libraries lose every year? How many trillions does the military? If it makes a profit, it's probably not doing its job.

The difference is that Amazon said they don't use third party data to boost their own sales.

In traditional retailers like Costco, if you are a product maker and supply Costco, you don't own any data from the sale of the product--Costco owns that data. In fact, you will have to pay for that data from data brokers (Retail Solutions Inc for example) if you want it.

I remember learning about this concept first hand years ago working in a grocery store. I was in charge of stocking the freezer at the time. We had a sale on for breyer's ice cream. the 500ml tubs. they used to come in packs of 5 on the pallet. Then one day they dropped the size to 473ml and started shipping 4 in a pack for the same price. I remember this vividly because i had to completely rearrange the shelves so the new containers fit properly.

Also, somewhat related, the same year dairyland stopped putting handles on their 4 litre ice cream pails. The little old ladies freaked out. Turns out, nobody likes the ice cream, they just wanted the bucket with the handle. I remember asking the dairyland driver why they took the handles off. He said someone figured out the company would save 1¢ per bucket if they removed the handles saving them over a million dollars a year or something. I still wonder whether the drop in sales from people annoyed at the loss of the handle countered the savings of removing the handle.

As a Linux person, I have to say my iPad almost got me into becoming also an Apple person. Let's be real, Apple would not lose a single penny to inviting the Linux crowd directly, however, some of those Linux people will become Apple people. There are two reasons to not open up, for the future outlook:

1. Why tho?

2. MacOS increasing lock-down makes even Linux attractive to a wider customer base, and therefore threatening their huge, carefree software extortion business.

Personally I think, they do number 2 on their customer base. I think not opening up to Linux is an indirect admission to their unfair competition game. I think Linux support would very much limit how much they can push their DRM, subscription, software extortion and expropriation mischief. It would allow for consumer choices.
The time it takes to integrate ( and switch) many of these services may not be much less than spinning up something comparable yourself between docker, k8, lxc containers, etc.

Prematurely building scaling into every single layer of a test project might be a bit much, especially when it might not be known where the bottlenecks may occur.

In many cases, early prototypes/mvps should be semi throwaway anyways.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I think the greatest issue is when there's an overlap between two things:

- the fact that systems like Django actually make it difficult to switch branches from a feature branch with one migration to another on a different migration tree, without fully rolling back everything (including the test data you may be deep in the weeds experimenting on, that may not yet be in fixtures), and

- being in an environment where you require same-day turnaround on things that aren't really bugs but would be seen that way by high-profile clients, and the priority is high enough to disrupt flow and run the risk of those "raft of bugs"

For instance, if User A is highly influential and it would be meaningful to the business to have rapid turnaround on ensuring that Asset B that they're looking at has a specific fix to some data that you know you should make fully customizable at users' discretion, but don't yet have the right spec in place to build a customization on a per-Asset basis, and every team member is deeply working on debugging a feature... you just do asset.config.foo = bar, ensure it's extremely well documented at the site where a column definition would be in your model file, make a simple commit that you know won't affect anything else, and you take that as technical debt, and you keep yourself from getting too far out of flow.

The "data cleanse" you speak of comes in the form of a regular inventory of live config variables (select the set of keys and distinct values across all configurable tables), and the creation of user stories where necessary.

If there was a way to `git stash` all changes made to a dev database, and pop that afterwards, that would absolutely make it possible to do a more robust workflow. It's ironic that e.g. Postgres MVVC and transactional DDL is so robust, and yet I haven't found a tool that makes it feel nearly as seamless.

Unless I've grossly misread these articles, Amazon were using third-party seller data from sales on the Amazon.* websites.

The data was on their (Amazon.com) sales database (who sold how much of what, for how much). They weren't accessing (hacking) data hosted on AWS (a database hosted for an online shop not related to AWS)

Those two things are very different.

EDIT: To put this into perspective. Any store (online and offline) that has its own branded products, probably looks at sales of the existing non shop branded products and makes an own branded version when it looks like it will be successful ("Panasonic SD cards are selling well, and look like they have good margins so let's bring out our own version"). What Amazon is being accused of is using sales data from 3rd party sellers on Amazon.*

I agree with that, the USPS should be allowed to set prices (and service levels) if it’s supposed to break even.

I have a lot of respect for Leslie Lamport, and I've read quite a few of his papers, but I'm a little reluctant to take his advice to heart here. I think his Paxos paper is a good read, but at the end of it you understand his thinking but are no closer to writing a valid paxos system. In contrast, take Diego Ongaro's raft paper and you leave with a deep understanding of the thinking and a way to start your journey into making the thoughts concrete.

A slightly upgraded bash/zsh function for displaying a notification:

noti() {
osascript -e \
'on run argv
display notification (item 1 of argv) with title "Notification"

# Example:
noti 'Hello world!'

This fixes any escaping issues by passing the notification string to osascript as an argument instead of embedding it in the text of the program (which makes things like quotation marks not work correctly).

Well, if you really want that thing delivered you have other options, right? FedEx, DHL, other private companies.

The whole problem is that USPS has a lot of obligations that those other courier services don't, and it has to amortize costs.
According to that article, they also snoop on the content of any files stored in Drive.

To further point out the ridiculousness of preventing local post offices from sorting mail: For 8 years, my landlord and I had PO Boxes at the same small town post office. You'd think one could just hand rent to the teller, who my landlord and I both knew by name, so she could walk the ~8 feet and put it in my landlord's box. But that wasn't allowed. Delivery to the same post office the letter was mailed from took a few days to a week because they had to send it off to a sorting center and wait for it to be sent back.
My friend, you are living in the past. My parents live in a golf community in Arizona (shocker :). It is not a gated community, just windy streets where all the houses were built by the same developer. It is not some unincorporated area, it's in Scottsdale, a major city, and the houses were built around 2000. There are no vicious dogs nor is there anything dangerous about delivering mail to people over the age of 50. It is not a rural area, it's suburbia. The USPS will not deliver mail to their door, they only deliver to a set of postboxes for the whole community about a mile away. My parents have to drive their car to the where the PO boxes are each day. Everyone in the community does. I worry what happens if they get too old to drive, as they wont be able to get mail. I asked my parents about it and they said this was common in this part of Arizona to cut costs -- like the USPS gave up on solving the last mile problem. When a housing development is built on, say, 100 acres, the USPS just picks one area and says "we'll only deliver here" and that's where they build the mailboxes for all the people that will live on that hundred acres, even if it's like 5000 people. If someone is foolish enough to send a package to them that doesn't fit in the small mailbox, my parents will get a slip to pick it up from the local post office, which of course requires a farther drive.

Meanwhile Fedex, Amazon, UPS deliver right to their door. The quality and level of service of USPS is atrocious, and all over America they are cutting back on their last mile commitments while private companies continue to deliver right to the door.
