Thanks for the question, I have similar concerns. If you enable 2FA on a website it mainly asks you to scan a QR code and confirm it with a OTP value. This works fine until you lose you phone and have no full backup accessible without 2FA. This could be a time bomb for security oriented users.

I know, when activating 2FA the website also shows some recovery codes etc. But I can imagine that most non-tech users don't know what to do with them and ignore them.

I fully agree that you should understand how 2FA basically works and how you can recover. For me it works like this:

- KeePassXC / KeePassDX file synced on several devices + backup

- andOPT App with an encrypted backup of the exported JSON data, accessible without 2FA

This setup is easy to understand for me und I know how to recover if I lose my phone or my PC SSD gets damaged. I do not trust Google or other cloud services with fancy sync features.

Filesystem.

Linux has VFS cache which is very robust and efficient.

Remember that it is typical for programs to read /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolve.conf and tons of others at startup time - the filesystem is the datasource in Unix tradition, so the machinery is very well optimized.
Not really.

There are "I know that there is not a god" atheists, those are the insufferable unholier-than-thou types like Richard Dawkins, who seem mostly interested in provoking religious people.

And there are "there is no falsifiable proof at all to support the existence of a god" atheists, which are the ordinary sensible ones, who don't hate religious people, they just don't share their beliefs.

Calling me after finding me on LinkedIn, telling me they have one or more very interested companies, then after wasting as many minutes as they get asking me to give them a CV.

In fact that is my acid test now.

If they insist on me sending anything more it is game over.
> Isn't the main feature of nosql supposed to be easy horizontal scalability

There's no strict definition of nosql so everyone can choose their own. My personal take (in broad terms) follows:

No, that's not a feature of nosql. Nosql means not relational, which in turn means no guarantees about the relationship between two objects, i.e. no atomicity of access across multiple objects (for either read or write operations). A consequence of this lack of atomicity is that it's easy to store different objects in different places, thus opening up opportunities for horizontal scalability. Caveat: those opportunities can be taken away by other choices you make. If you decide to offer and enforce transactions, you are bringing atomicity back into the system, and thus making horizontal scalability hard again. Or you may decide you want a nosql-in-a-file.
I'm surprised they're adding private fields when symbols already exist? Is it just for improved convenience?

+1 for LMDB, ended up there researching simple local key-value stores for my own use.

GDBM and BerkeleyDB are the "grey beard" references, but their 80's & 90's heritage shows.
I think the reason for this could be to prevent you cancelling other people's destinations. I can only imagine the public freakout that could unfold, even if it was accidental.
As others have mentioned you have lots of options: LMDB, LevelDB/RocksDB, BerkeleyDB. For what it's worth, I spent a long time looking for an embedded key-value store for my current native project since I didn't need the full complexity of SQL. In the end I chose... SQLite.

All of these embedded NoSQL databases seem to be missing critical features. One such feature for my use case is database compaction. Last I checked, an LMDB database file can never shrink. Full compaction of LevelDB is slow and complicated (as I understand it essentially breaks the levels optimization which is the whole point of the thing.) SQLite meanwhile supports fast incremental vacuum, and it can be triggered manually or automatically.

SQLite just has everything. Plus the reliability is unmatched. Even if you just need a single table that maps blob keys to blob values, I would still recommend SQLite over any NoSQL database today.
Even my parents in their 60s living their entire lifes in now post-Communist country have opinion about Trump's (non) reelection. They're not even actively participating in social media - their smartphones are sucking in toxic content and public TV is broadcasting "news from the greatest ally country". It's so sad watching them bathing in this cesspool, it's like watching your daugther in GirlsDoPorn. Americans you've gone far too far with your brainwashing cultural and political expansiveness.

That is fine. Doing "practical" meditation and "real" meditation per se is not far-fetched.

All we need to be is with awareness. When you start feeling that - then that is what I would say meditation.

I walk, I do slow walking every night reflecting on things that had happened in the day or just walk in silence. That helps me to ease my pain and have more space to think what is important at the moment and make decisions.

In other words, this is also related to the original comment which says about "patience". It doesn't happen all at once, practicing with patience is the key for progress.
It might have been what the article said, "You should be able to switch." but more likely it was that Microsoft products don't scale financially - a cluster of 1,000 nodes is 1,000 times more expensive than 1 node, unlike Open Source.
I don't understand why people are so hyped about OOP syntactic sugar when JavaScript could already do those ages ago. For example: the class keyword. JavaScript could already do classes via factory functions (return an object with associated methods), and factory functions are strictly more powerful than classes because you can declare freestanding variables inside.

And here's the kicker: The freestanding variables that you do declare inside a factory function, those are naturally private fields. You can expose it to the outside world via method closures, but no one else can reach in and modify it directly. Classes can't do that. Functions could. But the general sentiment is to embrace classes and throw factory functions to the wayside, and as a result you need extra effort like implementing private fields for classes when JavaScript functions can already do the same thing.
That would be terrible for anyone living there, as would the environment, and the environment of every country around that country, etc.

Regulation = Civilization, Taxes = Civilization, Safety Net = Civilization

Now that doesn't mean you want a regulatory nightmare, the USA has real problems with license monopolies and city regs in some areas, but you also don't want unrestricted capitalism like the USA has that destroys people, society, and the common environment. Europe has a lot of work to do as well but at least they grasp this fundamental concept. The middle ground between these two is always hard to nail perfectly.

> ...there are lots of ways to build app layer protocols once you have tailscale making the connection itself easier.

True. My previous employer built an internal service similar to tailscale but it worked over bluetooth, wifi-direct in addition to ICEing NATs out. It made device discovery, cross-app, cross-device, cross-service communication super easy.

Thanks again.
It sounds like we agree, then? 90 years ago, the US sentenced a man to 3 months in prison for being atheist. Yes, we don't do that today. I know that. I am not at any point trying to say that the US has worse religious or gender laws than Pakistan. I agree that we have better laws.

I think also, that we had really horrible laws in our recent past, and it's a bit silly to wonder why the rest of the world hasn't caught up to our 'modern' view of things when the last 100 years of American media dominance in the world espoused much of the hatred of minorities and restrictive laws that we see in other countries today.

The US is better with our laws, but we have a recent history of having horrible laws that were actively enforced against religious minorities and others. Systematic racism is still prevalent in the US today, despite our progress.

We have a lot of inward looking to do to improve as well. I don't think it's much of a surprise that other countries have backwards gender laws when the United States has a rich and recent history of similar laws.
No it basically is. Nor does it have multiple definitions. The only people who claim it does are those trying to smuggle censorship in while calling it "freedom of speech".
"Yet people in most of Western Europe (discounting Switzerland and Luxembourg and maybe Norway) are objectively poorer than even the poorest American states.
"

This is utter nonsense, how are you getting that?

Imagine that I offered you two deals:

1. You make $45k a year, but all your costs are 50% of the base rate. Plus health care is included that covers everything with no expenses, childcare is included, and college education is included.

2. You make $60k a year, but all your costs are 200% of the base rate. Health care isn't covered and covers nothing when you really get sick, childcare is $1500 a month per kid, and college is going to cost you half a million dollars.

Holistically Western Europe as a whole is doing way better for it's people.

I would actually argue that Netflix, tinder, Hollywood, including other western media, do more to confirm that “underwear should titillate”. Also in adverts here it almost always the titillating kind instead of plain comfortable. Point is that for us it is probably a choice what to buy/wear and that we don’t have to deal with bad quality underwear, regardless of style/form/function.

Monastic life is a sacrifice, in part because those who follow it do want to see their family etc. She felt that following Christ in a life of prayer separate from the world was what her heart most wanted, it was what God was calling her to do, and it was important for her salvation. You do not understand that but any faithful Catholic child would even though it is bittersweet for them too.

GDP per capita is lower, but household wealth is higher and when you add in all the benefits received (e.g. healthcare, pensions) you would get a pretty big difference between median household wealth in most of Western Europe and median HH wealth in the U.S., with western europe holding the advantage.

Comparing Europe and the U.S. is a complex business, and I find myself offending cheerleaders on both sides.
>Me maybe not, my peers would surely be forced when the big apps move away from the AppStore not because of the commission but because they can get away with shit that Apple doesn’t allow.

Yeah, because that is what totally happened with Android which has 72% market share. Or is it? In actuality there were some alternative stores like Opera or Yandex store and all of them die out on some point. Amazon has an android store but you can't find a lot of apps there. There are vendor stores like samsung's or huawei's stores and my favorite f-droid, for OSS apps. But you can find EVEERYTHING in google play store and you'll have a hard time to live without it, like on Chinese devices or if you want to have de-googled android you'll need to find APKs on some weird mirrors. So no I don't buy it.

>You do not have to believe anything.

I think part of the confusion is there are multiple definitions of "atheist". One definition is someone who believes there is no god. That itself is a belief, so in that case your description doesn't match atheist. But another definition of atheist is someone who lacks a belief in god. So then your description would match atheist.

Also there are multiple definition of "agnostic" making the situation even more confusing.
They are into analytics and looks like they're using CosmosDb for the heavy lifting. I wonder why the focus on language. They could do the application layer in PHP for all that matters.

Object properties defined as Symbols (even through classes) are still accessible by e.g.

I'd nominate TDB (the trivial database). It's small, robust, effective
One of those I've tried is LiteDB - https://github.com/mbdavid/LiteDB. I liked it.

It's small yet capable. If you are familiar with MongoDB, you will feel right at home.

It's great for .NET developers as it's written in C# but since it's Netstandard 1.3 compatible, you can presumably run it under Ubuntu or Mac OS or wherever else the new .NET 5 runtime works. I've got a C# app running on ARM64 the other day - just saying.

I wrote about my experience playing with LiteDB here - https://tomaskohl.com/code/2020-04-07/trying-out-litedb/. It's not an in-depth look at all, just a few notes from the field, so to speak.
Your first example is illegal in most places. The second is perfectly normal practice - it's in most contracts and stands to reason - if you're introduced to a client by your employer and you jump ship to work for them, it represents a breach of trust.
All the "soul" in the world doesn't make up for it being toy software verging on unusability because the devs were so OPINIONATED that you don't need that feature.

I do think this letter had an unusual and somewhat refreshing honesty.
I've also learned it's a classic under-specified problem. To solve it completely you need, for example:

1) distribution of arrival times and destinations of passengers;

(For example, if late evening people usually go up, it's best to idle on ground floor)

2) a "satisfaction function", giving a measure of performance of your system:

You can get low average waiting times and diverging maximum wait time for a busy elevator, simply trade time from a single passenger for others (by e.g. never going to a floor). As long as utilization is significant at all times, this phenomenon exists.

Clearly it's not only average we care about, but also maximum and minima of transit times.
