> rr does not monitor processes outside the children of what it is recording, and misses any communication through shared memory to an outside process.

The current tendency seems to be moving towards communication through ring buffers in shared memory, not only with outside processes but also with the kernel (io_uring), so unless they find a workaround, rr is going to become less useful as time goes on.

"The pattern is that utility services are prefixed with AWS, while standalone services are prefixed by "Amazon". Services prefixed with AWS typically use other services" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33125790/why-some-servic...

but there's exceptions so I'm not sure if the decision makers see it very strict. Or maybe products changed over time or for some like EC2 it might be historical naming they no longer want to change.
I dunno, it seems like those that deem it purely personal and therefore uninteresting fail to appreciate the broader impact this can have. This kind of announcement isn’t for individual nobodies interested in gossip, it was an even-handed announcement designed to calm global markets, healthcare companies, and developing countries. The Gates Foundation has issued over 55 billion dollars in grants itself, and that doesn’t even cover all the other knock on effects. Not to mention the countless lives that have been saved by their direct help. This isn’t just gossip. But I realize that my thoughts have more to do with the substance/impact of the story, and you are doing a great job of explaining why the community has repeatedly flagged it. Thanks for the explanation.
Is the extra 64 bits simply used to lower the risk of collision?

It has not, and the type of design they show in the paper has a lot of room to improve (FIFOs everywhere, inefficient blocks, etc). However, video transcoding is suited to that approach since the operations you do are so wide that you can't avoid a speedup compared to software.

Same reaction. I've anecdotally asked this same question: "man-made or natural diamonds?" to my friends in the past – mostly because I can't get past the ethical concerns, but wanted to understand the other side.

I found majority of my men friends argued it's the same diamond without the ethical concerns if you go man-made, while majority of my women friends chose natural (reasons included social pressure, the story, and so on).

Anecdotes aren't proof. But perhaps there is something to looking at this from a gendered (proxy for giving vs. receiving?) lens.

The reason why we want ids to be purely random is so we don't have to do the work of coordinating distributed id generation. But if you don't mind coordinating, then none of this matters.

Surely if it was a great chore for YouTube to have random-looking int64 ids, they would switch to int128. But they haven't.

I'm a big fan of the "works 99.99999999% of the time" mentality, but if anything happens to your PRNGs, you risk countless collisions to slip up by you in production before you realize what happened. It's good to design your identity system in a way that'd catch that, regardless of how unlikely it seems in the abstract.

The concept of hierarchical ids is undervalued. You can have a machine give "namespaces" to others, and they can generate locally and check for collisions locally in a very basic way.
I'd advice you stop charging and just place Amazon ads on your page. Besides being safer as people said, it'd easily generate more money for you.

Ads are not "worse", and it's going to be safer for you, and you could've made a lot more money from it because people would go to your website and many would download it, even if they feel they don't need it... Also, many people are interested in noise canceling headphones, and this would likely be how you'd make money out of Amazon's affiliate program :)

I myself have a Bose QC35 headphone, but use it on wired mode (to my Blue Yeti X mic), so I'd be one of the people who downloads it... but I wouldn't pay for it. However, if you had an ad there maybe I'd click on it if it showed the newer and greater 700 headphone with a nice price.

https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/

* I speak this from experience, as I made about ~500 USD with this post here https://henvic.dev/posts/homelab/ even though I added ads on it just when it was not hot anymore (had a few dozen thousands views, but mostly on the first days when I still didn't have ads).

Processing parentheses is still parsing. It's kindergarten-level parsing, but it's still parsing.

I've written thousands of lines of scheme code preprocessed to eliminate most parenthesis. I'm convinced Lisp self-asphyxiated by fighting a last stand on parentheses, which is so far from the point of Lisp. With modern editor "language server" support and syntax coloring, languages can shape-shift to any appearance they want, separate from meaning.

While I love the poetic look of parenthesis-spare Lisp, Bill Joy got it right when he said that code density on a screen affects programmer productivity. I love Haskell, both for this and because one reasons about the activity of programming as if one is doing algebra.

While Lisp more easily modifies itself than any other language, macros are bolted on. No one can tell me with a straight face that with a thousand runs of the civilization simulation, our Lisp macros would be the best run. I'd love to see a language where manipulating the language is the core strength, and all ease with data structures follows as a consequence. Lisp is not that language; peek into some of the other simulation runs.
> I can't find any mention in the help about selection of two devices, only iteration of previously paired devices.

When a new device is selected, the least recently selected device is disconnected. So once your first device is selected, start cycling again and select your second device. It's just a FIFO (First in first out) queue of devices.

Ehm... They are still selling diamonds, just lab-grown. Optically identically to the ugly and boring ones.

Solar roadways were always a terrible idea. Solar railways would have the same problem.

Putting solar above parking lots and parking decks is a much more viable way to use vehicle-related infrastructure for solar.

Using desert habitats are probably superior since we are in a climate emergency and need to build as much solar and wind as possible as fast as possible. Ground solar is cheaper than elevated solar as I understand it.
The diamond industry managed to convince consumers that diamonds are rare, highly desirable, and something that traditionally one gives as an engagement ring. None of those are particularly true.

They’re nice gems but true traditionalists generally prefer other gemstones. It’s about time the world moves on from the mined diamond charade.

But the rarity leads to intensive mining and human rights abuses. There's a good kind of rare (like say, an original painting, bought from the artist) and a bad kind of rare.

Sentiments can change. Diamonds will not become unemotional, but the emotional reaction will likely go into reverse soon.

Jewelers provide certifications when buying diamonds. They'd be a) on the hook if they sold counterfeit products, and b) they wouldn't be able to sell anymore because of a tarnished brand.
Let’s do the math.

IDs are 64-bit integers. The number of tries before an event with probability P occurs is a geometric distribution. If V is the number of valid IDs (that have a video), the number of tries is 2^64÷V. Assuming 1 megatries per second, since we can parallelize it, we would find the first video in 20 seconds on average, with a conservative estimate of V = 10^12 (a hundred billion videos).

To have a sample of ~100 videos, it’d take about half an hour.

Yeah, in fact the basic result is that there's about a .05-.20 ish correlation between social media and various mental health problems, broadly defined (not depression though, it's a zero). And this correlation doesn't change.

Correlation is not causation and this study makes no attempt to solve that problem.

Note also that if the association is causal, and the size of the association remains the same, but the level of the independent variable goes up - i.e. people spend more time on their phones/TVs/computers - then the size of the resulting problem will go up too.
Yes maybe. but there are some reasons why I am not writing on deno: I am not as experienced in Deno as nodejs. Deno is not popular as nodejs. but maybe later I wrote on deno.
The economics behind diamonds are better explained by an sociologist, not a geologist- the high cost and useless-ness of the gift are a feature not a bug! The burning of significant amount of wealth is a costly signal of commitment to the receiver. I heard from a friend who worked at a diamond company (and as such could purchase stones with significant discount to market price) that his fiancée had specifically rejected the idea of receiving a stone from his company on the grounds that it being 'discounted' devalued the gesture.

We bought an antique one, containing two diamonds and a nice large amethyst. Because the diamond secondhand market trades at such a detriment to new ones this was very affordable.
Still, we do not know if these studies were manipulated by the industry or how much. We have no evidence except them. Cynicism is not a substitute for actual evidence.
They’re actually not all that rare. Big Hope Diamond stones yes, but your run of the mill variety that 99.9% of people have are not all that rare. The “rarity” comes mostly from the the tight grip a small number of companies have over mining and production of raw stones. You can make tap water “rare” if you run the waterworks.
> By the way, Mensa would also send you to a regular psychologist, or would rather ask one to come and administer the test at their location, and would definitely not accept an online test.

You are correct they do not take online IQ test results seriously but Mensa do not send people to psychologists for IQ tests. They have testing centres anyone can book an appointment at for like $30. It’s like a normal test environment. The advantage being you pay for a real in person supervised IQ test.

That’s the best way to do it even if you don’t care about Mensa. They’re still the easiest way to get a real IQ test.

The exception is American Mensa which uses some test they made up instead of a standardised IQ test like the rest of the world’s Mensa chapters do.
What I see very commonly(and what I experienced growing up) is that kids nowadays are given very, very little autonomy nowadays. Kids are confined to a very small amount of space where they aren't allowed to play, explore, or be out of sight of a caregiver. At school, they are expected to behave like little adults. Rambunctiousness and energy are shamed. Socialization is relegated to a small period of recess or extracurriculars, both of which are monitored. Exercise isn't done on a regular basis. In this environment, it's natural for them to escape to a digital world where they can actually do what they want.

When I was a kid in such an environment, I played video games for hours and hours. I once stayed up 40+ hours playing GTA. When I moved out and controlled my own life, the appeal disappeared overnight.

With that said, there's definitely something to the claims that social media is addictive. Reddit had me hooked for years. They are like skinner boxes. But it's only part of the story, and different technologies will probably cause different outcomes and levels of addiction. I don't mind my kid playing a Switch, but I don't plan on letting her have a social media account.
Can confirm. I made the first unofficial Dropbox client for Android years ago called "Droidbox". Different name, different logo, explicit labeling of "unofficial" and they still wanted to sue the pants off me.
Maybe Elon Musk suspects that effective algae biofuel production is a strong candidate for his 100M price, which would benefit SpaceX greatly. Maybe even feasible on Mars, in artificial atmosphere there.
I tried to do a startup based on an idea like this, but it’s difficult because you essentially have to have keyboard input into the device, which means you now have to trust the keyboard. And once you have a passphrase it is confusing as to whether you should make a 2FA device or a password manager. But it is possible, on a technical level, because embedded devices now have enough RAM to run “effective” versions of argon2 or scrypt or whatever may be preferable at this time.
And with some activities it is easier then with others. Because general toy makers have hard time to make the plastic cars addictive, it is much easier with video games and A/B testing. I do know multiple families who had issue with their kid (usually boy) being aggressive when told to give away tablet. I do not know family that would deal with similar issue around books. They did solved it eventually, but the process was frustrating and took quite a lot of effort.

You are also less likely to deal with someone raging while building legos, while having to deal with loud swearing teenage gamer is quite common. (Yes, in involved families, the issue is typically eventually solved. )
OTOH, growing plants, turning them into charcoal and sequestering that can be carbon-negative.
Not a valid comparison.

Alcohol and Tech can fuck people's brains up by fiddling with its reward mechanisms - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/issue/september-...

After the fiddling happens parents, bosses, teachers, friends etc are quite capable with good intentions and knowledge gaps of making things worse.

Ask a family member or a friend of alcoholic or a gambler or a druggie what success they have had just "listening". What does work is keeping a close eye on the kid when they are most susceptible. Not giving them access to drugs and leaving the drugs with them in their room the whole night.

Thats were parents fuck up.

First: discuss with your development team the issue, make sure you get buy-in on replying to management with one voice. A.K.A.: avoiding you saying "We can't do X" and someone else goes: "Of course we can!".

Second: talk to your manager. Don't send an e-mail. That would just turn in a long, and possibly bitter, battle of 're:re:re:re:' or be interpreted as a C.Y.A. fig leaf. Make sure you start by understanding where that timebox is coming from and how 'un-elastic' really is. Then proceed to explain that for your team it's hard to commit to a timeline when the - currently unknown - fix to the bug could be a line of code or rewriting a whole component of the software. Reach an understanding that - of course - your team will try an deliver in the gives timebox if at all possible, but that you will keep him informed of any findings that may indicate that it will take longer.

Third: proceed working on the analysis and fix keeping them in the loop; make the messaging short, meaningful and to the point. "We found the issue: X", "We're designing a fix: Y", "Current estimate for the fix is Y". Make sure that the communication is timely. One thing is to say at 10AM: "We think it's going to take two days", and another is to say the same thing at 5PM.

Ideally this should come from the Dev team lead - which is what I do for a living. We are there to take the fire.

If you get pushback, no answers and management doesn't respond well to this pattern - well, you want that career destroyed and to move to some other place.

To those with these kinds of rebuttals to the parent, please understand: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Unknown unknowns lie ahead, and you cannot predict the outcome with even a modicum of certainty.
The behavior you describe is validation-seeking, but that doesn't show that American culture is not individualistic.

You can turn around and resell a Banksy for something comparable to what you just paid.

Try doing that with a diamond. You walk out of the diamond showroom with it, and its resale value plummets to the value of the base metals, the work of the setting, plus a small fraction for what you had just paid for the diamond.
