99% of people don't understand the difference between money supply and currency in circulation so they'll draw the wrong conclusion, and the right conclusion is boring. This article shouldn't even exist.
You're missing my point.

The fact these CEOs are only concerned with profit, and the fact you drew a comparison between these ventures and colonialism .. is a very apt summary.

You used the word 'perfect'.

It's perfect in terms of achieving these aims, and as I mentioned in another comment .. the style is definitely indicative of the system it serves.

However, a lot of the factors involved are very suboptimal in my mind.
Yes, Yugabyte has been featured on Jepsen. It's basically in the class of "newsql" natively distributed relational databases.

Yugabyte uses actual Postgres code for the query parsing top layer and then translates that into to operates on it's key/value store which handles replication and distributed. CockroachDB is similar but has built everything from scratch in Go. There are similar examples like TiDB and Vitesse for MySQL as well.
I was under the impression that this new system changed where the liability lies. With a credit card I can dispute fraudulent charges. My bank's and my interests don't conflict. With the new system it seems like there's a conflict between my interests and the bank's when fraudulent charges happen.

I think it's because if you get a wildly viral post you quickly realize that it doesn't mean anything, you just got lucky.

You need to go viral multiple times for it to make a significant impact, and I think people also realize that they just don't give a shit about growing an audience and wonder why they're wasting their time.
That would certainly be the day I go "what the heck, Apple/Google." They could certainly try and prohibit it, but I don't think the backlash would bode well for them, and we'd only see people obfuscating their traffic even more.

(EDIT: side-effect data for 12-15yo are pages 25-27 in this: https://www.fda.gov/media/144413/download)

I have to be honest...this strikes me as poor risk analysis by the FDA. This approval is based on a study of ~1100 children over two months, of which the absolute risk reduction was ~1.6% (16 cases -> 0). However, about 2% of kids had severe reactions to the vaccine itself.

(EDIT 2: a further 0.4% had life-threatening reactions, which are labeled as "severe adverse events")

They don't report the number of severe infections, but I'm guessing that the number is zero, based on what we know about Covid in children.

AWS gives you access to a lot of footguns, and they expect you to implement proper security practices, access controls, monitoring, billing alerts, etc.

Why? Because they serve just about every use case and scenario. I've myself spun up $5k/day resources on accounts that did four magnitudes less / day before that. There are some limits by default which you can get raised, but they're not going to prevent a $50k bill - at best, they're here to prevent a $500k one.

Anyway I agree they could make it clearer that you have to do all this crap yourself but it makes for a poor sales pitch.
> A recent example that boiled my blood is that the new Windows Terminal emulates the incorrect "Clear-Host" behaviour of ancient Linux terminals.

Hi! I run the team who made this decision, and I flatly reject the characterization that these changes were made by "recent hires" who are "copying Linuxisms into Windows bug-for-bug."

The discussion you're referring to spans multiple threads, so I'm not certain the exact one you're referring to. I can, however, give some of my input:

1. We worked pretty hard to make sure that PowerShell's Clear-Host and CMD's "CLS", which operate on the entire scrollback buffer in the traditional console, are properly translated into a full buffer clear over SSH/in Terminal/etc.

2. Terminal fully supports CSI 3 J, a non-standard extension to the Erase in Display control sequence that clears the scrollback buffer. The handful of tools I am using that support "clear" actually seem to emit both "clear viewport" and "clear buffer." If you're using a version of clear that has been configured to NOT emit ED 3 (clear scrollback history) by default, that's simply not my team's fault. I've heard that you can use "clear -x" to affect your desired behavior.

It turns out that there being no true standard here plays to our advantage: we can support requests for all manner of clear, and trust that an application can be made to do the right thing. If you're using an application that can't be made to do the right thing per at least thirty other terminal emulators' designs--spanning more than just Windows and Linux, mind you--I apologize.

If you'd like to reopen that discussion here instead of on GitHub, you are more than welcome to.

Sorry. But this will never ever happen in our lifetime. Not a single member of SCOTUS supports rescinding first amendment protections for “hate speech”.

And good luck trying to get 3/4 of state legislatures to sign off on a Constitutional amendment.

Forget long-term effects. One only needs to point out that more kids had "severe" reactions to the vaccine (>2%) than had Covid in the trial (1.6%). This approval was based on a tiny sample (1100 kids) over 2 months.

The Sesame Street creators weren't stoners who tripped balls while creating content. They were very meticulous about what they were doing. The colorful, abstract, "trippy" visuals engaged young minds so they were tuned in for the preschool lessons presented. They even layered social messages in a very subtle, non-preachy manner on top of the primary lessons. Here's one of my favorites:

A car appears to have trouble starting. Its driver, a Pam Grier-like woman, struts out, pops the hood, and drops a lowercase letter 'r' into the engine compartment. Now that the engine is capable of making appropriate 'rrrrrrr' noises, she drives off: https://youtu.be/L8AJATJoo5s

What a lovely little lesson! Its primary purpose being to teach a letter and its consonant sound, they didn't stop there, they built a narrative around that premise featuring a black female character oozing confidence (positive depictions of black and other minority characters being a Sesame Street priority since the early days). Sesame Street was full of stuff like this, engaging children of all backgrounds in a positive way in multiple dimensions.
Is it not a bigger problem that the majority of students cannot handle the math and science that currently exists?

One of the problems of lower socioeconomic class students is that a whole host of STEM fields are blocked because they lack the math and computer knowledge coming out of high school.

You need to hit calculus senior year or getting into STEM is gonna suck hard. I had friends in engineering school who first hit calculus in college, were failing so dropped the class, but kept attending the class. They understood it was the gate.

Without the math, the only jobs in reach are "softer" fields: social work, criminal justice, nursing, etc. This has an attendant depressing effect on the uppermost level of their salary.

Accelerating math will benefit a few high flyers, but actually devoting resource to better teaching the math that is there will benefit a broader section of students.
I think you're misinterpreting my point.

I'm only referring to the particular style of visual artwork and audio in those clips and others from that era of Sesame Street, which connects to psychadelic imagery and music.
well a good teacher could probably notice whether his colleagues are good teachers quite easily (at least if he had access to their classes etc.). Now that I think about it: colleagues probably are the best metric even for jobs like programmers (at least if they work on the same project/codebase) etc. However, it would be socially problematic if your colleagues were responsible for deciding your pay raises.

... the article doesn't have the word "Red Hat" or "RHEL" anywhere except the code blocks for output of commands, and uses the generic term "Linux" in the title.
Kids can spread it. Strength of vaccination program is having high vaccination rates to prevent spread and risk of mutations. There’s a bunch on immunocompromised people that can’t get vaccinated or the vaccine has little effect on them like people who had an organ transplant.
> Nazis lie.

True. Nazis are ready to use violence to gain dominion over others. Lying is a form of violence, so it just makes sense for them to use it. It is easier for them to lie than use physical violence and preferably they don't get caught. Just use their power to influence.

But I wonder if the paper perhaps did not consider this:: Even though correcting someone can make them defensive, the correction might be very helpful to all the other readers of the same discussion, so they don't get mislead.

Microsoft doesn't support XDP, do they?(And you can only use XDP on Linux in certain circumstances). The clsbpf stuff is all pretty heavily tied to skbs.

Also, even in an XDP program, you're still likely to use a bunch of perf stuff, which is again pretty Linux-specific.

> Strongly disagree. Conda, pipenv, pyenv, venv, poetry are all trying to solve the same problem (although conda tries to solve some other problems too).

Not really, some of these manage the issue of multiple system pythons (pyenv), while some manage isolated envs for particular projects (venv), and some try to be wholistic python project and dependency managers (pipenv, poetry, arguably venv + pip freeze, but that's not "wholistic"). Conda sort of tries to be all of the above as well as a bunch of other things (high performance options etc.)

Per the BigQuery docs, GCP charges $5 per TB of data read. Which works out to be $0.50 per query if said query reads 100 GB of data.

It feels expensive, but then again running and maintaining a big data platform is inherently very expensive. If you consider the fully loaded cost of a single big data engineer to maintain such a platform to be ~$250,000 (likely an underestimate if you want similar performance characteristics
to BigQuery [disclaimer: never used it myself, but I assume its performance is near-unbeatable]), that'd be ~500,000, 100 GB queries. Which makes a $0.50 query feel reasonable relatively speaking. GCP also sells dedicated "slots" (as they call it) which as I understand it is an abstraction over a CPU. If you buy said slots, the marginal cost of queries is $0, but you may be subject to queueing. No idea what a "slot" actually represents however.

So, interestingly, from being on the readers side and seeing how authors promote their works, and from actually brainstorming this with one of the above authors for a bit when they were first starting out, there's a clear path that can work if there's a ready audience to hook with your work for free.

1) Publish your work for free, either on a site dedicated to that genre like royalroad.com or some other way as long as you can get people invested and checking regularly for your work.

2) Be consistent and frequent in your output. More than once a week is good, but if you only publish something once a week, make sure you always have something to publish and don't skip ever. Buffered content is your friend.

3) A lot of the free readers (or even Patreon subscribers) don't expect book publisher quality editing. In fact, many will jump at the option to help you by being a proof-reader and let you know of typos, or weird sounding phrases, etc. I suspect many would prefer more often releases/more content as a trade for slightly worse editing. Some of those I posted above release 5-6 chapters a week, and typos are common. Nobody seems to mind.

4) I'm convinced as a reader the biggest thing that gets people to subscribe/be a patron is advance chapters. From my experience, you get to a really exciting part of the story, and want to know what happens, and from author blurbs letting people know there at 10-20 future chapters available from subscribers, it's hard to resist dropping $5-$10 to know there's a significant chunk of story you immediately get. It's also very hard to stop paying knowing you have a few weeks to wait before the free chapters catch up to where you were just reading.

5) Some authors take chunks past chapters off free sites a while after so they can publish on Amazon as a book (after editing passes, etc, so usually there's at least a few weeks past the current chapter). This probably synergizes well with people that find the author from their books and subscribe to read the latest one as it's written (e.g. Matt Dinniman for me). I'm not sure if you lose a lot of organic free reader growth though, and whether it's better or worse probably depends on how well your books do on Amazon (whether traditional or Kindle Unlimited).

Finally, I'm pretty sure there's a subreddit for authors that covers a lot of this and you can mine people there for information. I'm not sure what fiction genre's this extends to well, but I imagine most pulpy things which people like to consume in large quantities qualify. For example, I'm not sure of a romance webnovel site like royalroad.com, but I bet it exists, and I bet there are people on Patreon making good money from patrons because of it.

Getting the virus and entering the risk pool for long term affects has a probability below 100%. Maybe you never get the virus.
Choosing to get the vaccine gives you 100% chance of getting in the risk pool for its side affects.
The third category is you already had the virus without long term issues, but getting the vaccine introduces new risks (allergies is the obvious easy one).

I don't know the compounded statistics here and I don't claim to know the "right choice" for everyone, including myself. In general, I never get the latest update in software. I never get the first model years in cars. Without a case of urgency, this seems like a good path forward for this too, but YMMV.

Fwiw this absolutely doesn't match my experience with pytype, both on my own work and, as I understand it, "at scale".
It's processors. x86 architecture is not as efficient as ARM based, which is why ARM is used in embedded low power devices.

Like the common adoption curve, Intel viewed ARM as a toy, that could never compete with their power capabilities. But ARM got better and better every year, and though x86 got marginally better, they weren't being driven by a market that demanded higher performance. ARM caught up, and due to some exceptionally clever engineering by Apple, has surpassed the capabilities of x86.

We've seen the same story many times before, electric cars will never be competitive, online shopping will never compete with the in store experience, solar/wind/etc will never compete with coal, digital cameras will never compete with film....etc etc

Add your own, there are plenty of examples, but I'm failing to remember others right now.

This situation is the same on Android, presuming you do not have a rooted device. On Android >7 third-party apps do not trust user certificates by default, and a non-root user cannot install new system certificates. And afaik there is nothing stopping them from using custom crypto libraries that do not use the system roots at all. And of course, even if you could decrypt the HTTPS traffic the actual API payloads and endpoints need not be in any kind of human readable format.
These discussions seem to revolve around "one hundred and one flavors of shortsightedness".

The aim of vaccinating everyone is so these kids can grow up in a world without Covid - so they don't die 5-10 too early when do get old. (You've heard kids get older, right?). And as people mention, kids not giving it to their parents, etc.
What happens is that apps don't work if their cert is issued by another CA, eg. "we only use digicert so any other CA issuing us is either attacking us or a enterprise/hobbyist MITM which we don't care about anyways".

I was a bit disappointed with the fourth book set in the The First Law universe. Possibly it was Best Served Cold but I'm not sure. It felt more like a rehash and it was missing whatever made the first books special. And it put me off trying his other books ever since.

I'm not assuming this actor must be doing this intentionally *because* these are a lot of stupid things, nor that it is indictive of the average, malicious Tor node operator. I'm arguing the opposite.

Not only did an actor commit a string of seemingly sloppy and unrelated "mistakes", where they had correctly executed that same things n times before for x amount of time, but they then brought their own existence to the attention of a technically empowered group to see how many of those seemingly unrelated and sloppy mistakes the system tolerates.

I'm not sure how this is an example of the "toupée fallacy", as I'm just positing as ti why this toupée would look so intentionally bad; to figure out the tolerance for a bad toupée and discover what about it made the toupée "bad".
