> You’re dealing with survivorship bias - those companies whose products were successful enough that they needed your services

In fairness, Redis has only been available for 12 years so someone who has been in the industry longer has probably encountered systems using DBs as queues for no better reason than an alternative was not available when the system was made. (Rabbit just a couple years older I think.)

But in this day and age, you have better options to start with c'mon.

> they spent too much time fiddling with RabbitMQ, when Postgres would have been fine.

Rather ironic claim in a thread full of tips, tricks, and gotchas just to make PG behave like a queue no?

I can't speak for RabbitMQ personally but Redis has got to be among the simplest drop-in dependencies I've ever encountered. For a simple queue, the defaults do out-of-the-box.

Gut feel also says, Redis defaults for queuing would also serve more than PG defaults for queuing so you could leave it untouched for far longer to focus on your product, get to profitability, etc. Feel free to debunk with data.

Someone said the current generation replaced the religions of Gods with the religion of Government: they put a lot of faith and trust into Governments and then play amazed when they fail.

Governments (and cities are local governments, for the matter) have huge powers in what they can do and what they can do to the citizens. For example in Romania, my country, government entities are practically exempted from GDPR; they also exempt banks and other regulated entities from GDPR rules on collecting data in weird ways, for example there is a national bank rule that the banks need to collect personal data about account holders, no matter the age or amount, that does not apply to the account holder but allows the bank to freeze all your accounts if you don't comply. They really don't need to know your mother's name, but they get it this way and GDPR protection agency never takes action on these situations.

Lisbon city giving such data to embassies is not a mistake or stupidity, it is abuse of power. They have a power that is just transferred at elections to different masters, but they act like they own, in a feudal way, the people. As someone recently said (about taxes): "where are they going to go? We put a minimum everywhere, so there is no escape"
>>>> You still don't have an infinite population and you still do not have an repeteable way to measure "life span".

I genuinely dont understand youe point here. Are you saying that 7B people arent enough to test every medical claim. Are you saying that because we cant determine with precision life span that we cant precisely understand medical results ?

>>>> the claim that there is a "natural" and "un natural" order of things is as unscientific as it gets.

The fallacy of misusing the naturalistic fallacy

According to the critique made, we should not claim that natural things are better than scientific experimentation. Yet, my original claim was not to use nature to derive a notion of how things "ought" to be organized.
Rather, as scientists, we respect nature for the extent of its experimentation. The high level of statistical significance given by a very large sample cannot be ignored.

Nature may not have arrived at the best solution to a problem we consider important, but there is reason to believe that it is smarter than our technology based only
on statistical significance.

The question about what kinds of systems work (as demonstrated by nature) is different than the question about what working systems ought to do.

We can take a lesson from nature —and time— about what kinds of
organizations (such as human vaccines, or viruses) are robust against, or even benefit from, shocks, and in that sense systems should be structured in ways that allow them to function.

Conversely, we cannot derive the structure of a functioning system from what we believe the outcomes ought to be.

Yeah, but how precise it is? Even the old WW2-style radars can see all stealth planes, but can't really guide a missile towards them. There was also Czechoslovak Tamara radar in the '80s that was supposed to detect them as well. And Russians are supposed to have a mesh of mobile radars that can detect small anomalies in their plane and combining them together should show some imprecise location of a target. The question is how useful any of these are?

“It is a good sign in a nation when things are done badly. It shows that all the people are doing them. And it is bad sign in a nation when such things are done very well, for it shows that only a few experts and eccentrics are doing them, and that the nation is merely looking on.” -GK Chestertong

I was taking your claims somewhat seriously until you massively misrepresented the very case for which you even provide an article. Now I guess all of what you are saying is either massive misrepresentation or plain false.

The guy was passing info about German agents to the US, not about foreigners/dissidents, and is facing life in prison for it. Embarrassing to betray your country and job for €1600/month. But it would be pretty odd if the German intelligence had a strategy of passing info about its own agents to the US.

I conclude that PT is likely an exception and the rest above probably made up conspiracy theories.
That’s essentially what they were doing, roles reversed us being the private charter. Our captain said something to the effect of “if I did that they’d report me” but I didn’t understand why he wouldn’t report them. It seemed to me those bigger boats were actually a threat to harming the whale. Our boat I think not so much (~39’) and we always jumped to the side of the whale whereas the bigger boats cut it off which in my mind increased the odds of a collision.

>Once you get into the union, it's kinda a cake walk.

Knowing people in the highly unionized film biz, getting your next job always seems to be the order of the day so it seems to depend. It actually sounds pretty tough compared to a 'normal' gig at a company, but you do end up with good stories to tell.
That's sort of the entire point of the paradox. Every room is full at the start. Not "somehow at least one is not", but every single room is full. Then, by having guests move to different rooms, you can rearrange such that there is an empty room.

The guests are markers to indicate a bijective function between room numbers. Each guest represents a (before, after) tuple.
I know it sounds like I want to be spoonfed, but do you have a walkthrough of this flow?

I'm no Mac user but the value of a Mac to its users has more to do with its seamless integration with all other Apple products and services rather than a purely utilitarian perspective in raw specs/performance per dollar.

This has no value to me as their pricing is out of my budget and I don't like the idea of being locked into a proprietary ecosystem, which is of course down to everyone's personal preference, but judging by sales numbers, it looks like Apple's ecosystem has gotten some things really on point.
> Animals may be able to exhibit more complex behaviour, but it is still mostly just a response to stimuli. An ant doesn't know why it cooperates, it does not have a purpose in a human sense. It has genes that have survived because they encourage social behaviour. It behaves socially in response to stimuli and helps the genes to spread.

Fun thought experiment: what if humans are the same?

When was the last time you did something that didn’t help genes to spread, or wasn’t part of a longer strategy with that as eventual purpose?

I played Descent in the 90's and there was missile lock. It would trigger when a homing missile had a line of sight to your ship, and the frequency of the beeps indicated proximity. It's not the aiming reticle, cause bots could get you around corners with homing missiles.

The homing is probably done exactly like graphics, with ray tracing.

>You should never login to the shell of a container for config

I absolutely do this and think it works great. Fedora has built a tool called "toolbox" which is basically a wrapper on podman which can create and enter containers where you can install development tools without touching your actual OS.

I basically do all of my development inside a container where the source code is volume mounted in but git/ruby/etc only exist in the container.

This has the benefit of letting me very quickly create a fresh env to test something out. Recently I wanted to try doing a git pull using project access tokens on gitlab and containers let me have a copy of git which does not have my ssh keys in it.

This is somewhat of an edge case though, for a server deployment, yes you shouldn't rely on anything changed inside the container and should use volume mounts or modify the image.

No, you are trying to use your intuition for finite sets on infinite sets. Subsets of infinite sets can have the same size as the entire set. There are as many odd natural numbers as there are natural numbers even if your intuition tries to tell you that this can not be true because the natural numbers additionally contain all the even natural numbers.
It appears to be strong enough that it is expressed in genetics.

> I disagree. I optimize for myself AND the people around me. That is because I don't feel good when I have everything and others have nothing.

How much do you optimize for the people around you? Do you spread things between yourself and others equally, or optimize that everyone still get some, but you still get most?

I don't mean that as a challenge or attack. It's a genuine question.
Progressive formats still require the device and network to allocate the bandwidth appropriately, so you'd want required traffic reaching the device first, and then images. The problem is that in most cases everything is just thrown more or less at once towards the device and then latency and packet loss goes through the roof and nothing loads.

What technicalities with the definition of an infinite set can't be grasped by the mind? The definition is quite simple and easy to understand (for a mathematician).
Most of mathematics is abstractions invented by humans to make math more comprehensible by humans. E.g. you can do differential equations without complex numbers, but they make life so much easier.

> Are you saying that 7B people arent enough to test every medical claim

There are conditions where there are currently single-digit known sufferers among thar 7B, far fron sufficient to adequately test even one claim about that condition or its treatment, so, yes, 7B people isn’t enough to test every medical claim.

Since one of the questions about medical results is about effect on lifespan, the former would certainly imply the latter.

> many uses of containers are ... statically linked binaries in a more complicated form

I have found that to be true in at least one case—I had built a custom DNS server in Go (statically linked), and originally planned to run it in a container, but on further reflection realized the container brought no added value, and it was much simpler to write a systemd service control script than to bring in the extra baggage of a container ecosystem to run the DNS server.

It would be interesting to know the mix of degrees produced over time by those schools. My guess is that 100 years ago you largely saw the children of the elite receiving general educations centered around classics, the post-war period would have seen an engineering emphasis, and (perhaps) now a push for finance and law.

It's hard to have an opinion without knowing the product of the system.

No, look at the “services and construction” line. That measures output per worker in that sector (2/3 of the economy) since 1947. That’s a measure of productivity per worker. It’s grown at only 0.9% over that time. A big chunk of even that tepid growth is in a handful of areas like finance. In vast swaths of the economy, workers aren’t any more productive today than in 1947. Everything from building houses to caring for kids and old people to serving diners at restaurants, etc. We can make iPhones with fewer workers than ever but the post-scarcity economy is very far away.

You can only believe this if you've fallen for the spin perpetrated by media outlets.

The only reason you think there is (or was) an epidemic of police shootings of unarmed Black people [...]

This is unfair - note that the comment you are referring to didn't specially mention police unarmed shootings of blacks, the comment was about disportionate policing and killings (which presumably includes, but is not exclusive to shootings of unarmed citizens). I mention this because police shootings are not the only manifestation of institutional racism. There are also unjust arrests, accusations, beatings (remember, Rodney King wasn't shot), convictions, and general mistreatment. You might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride.

As a relatively well-off, straight-laced black man, I'm not overly afraid of getting shot by police (although I think I got close to catching a bullet once), but I am terrified of a stop going bad in some way, not because of what I observed in the media, but because of my own personal experiences.

I live in a high-crime city in the northeast and as big component of my job is spending time in high-crime parts of cities all over the US (most recently, Chicago South Side, including Altgeld-Murray projects). The only times in my life where I thought my life or safety was in serious jeopardy involved interactions with police.

Furthermore, Black communities are often strong advocates of retaining or even increasing police presence

Absolutely true, and that reflects my feelings as well. But that is not the same as saying black communities trust police.
