This was very similar to my experience. I had a new manager ask me why I was lying to him about the timelines for promotion I had worked out with my previous manager, my skip level, and discussed with my skip skip.

I had optimistically reached out internally and started a process with a team prior to all of this happening. I think my manager focused me then.

Hi there,
I agree that traditionally (and even now) that's how cache works. But the system like Redis that provides that service has gotten much more powerful over the years and so you can use it as a traditional Db.

The car efficiency numbers came from Inside EVs as the article points out. I think they did a pretty thorough job. https://insideevs.com/features/392202/ice-vs-ev-inefficient-...
This is really pedantic, but Eureka isn't really directly on the coast either, it sits on the far side of Humboldt Bay and is shielded by an isthmus that is mostly empty land. That said the coast is a 10 minute drive (and maybe 25-30 minute drive for Arcata)

As for the populace... they don't call it Eutweaka for nothin

I have a suspicion that this is the direction surviving movie theatre chains will move toward.

Something that hasn't been remarked on too much but that I think might be significant is that a long-standing antitrust regulation that prevented movie studios (the "Paramount Decree") from owning their own theatre chains was sunsetted in August 2020, which means that starting in August 2022 studios can start running their own theatres again -- and I think that's very likely to happen. Disney won't just tie their blockbusters to Disney+, they'll tie them Disney-owned theatres that provide theme park like experiences. Other studios will join in on this.

> It makes me feel like a grouch to complain about the uber-popular, widely loved thing but this intertwined superhero universe exhausts me. I don't want to have to watch three previous movies and two TV shows to fully enjoy the movie that's in front of me.

Despite mostly really enjoying said superhero universe, I've been feeling that recently, too. I can't help but suspect this has a point of diminishing returns; next year we're going to be entering a "phase" of the MCU that's going to build not only on the past twenty-odd movies but now the past Disney+ streaming shows.
For Manhattan only travel, I think the yellow cabs are a superior solution to Uber/Lyft. It is non-trivial sometimes to track down your particular car. So, Manhattan is the exception where I don't use rideshare. One exception is when it rains... then, finding a free taxi is pretty rough .. so ridesharing wins that one.
Hi, think this looks really cool, although I am a little confused what I, a propsective consumer, should be doing. If I want to give this try, should I buy the current version? Is there a separate purchase for the new version? Does the license carry over?

>I agree! Absolutely!

No, you're not agreeing with me. You're talking about a family unit as if the net balance matters. That's exactly what I was saying makes no sense.

Nothing has to balance except the whole world. Not people, or families, or industries, or companies, or countries.

I don't know if there is a name for the fallacy, but there's this mental short circuit I think I observe, where people want to compose the parts of something to get a quality of the whole, and it doesn't work.

If you want a blue city, then the way you get it is by making all the parts of the city blue. And recursively, every part of the parts can be painted blue.

But if you want a profitable company you do not get it by making every part profitable. That's stupid and destructive and often people seem to consider it obviously idiotic when it is tried.

Carbon emissions are like the latter, not the former.

In equations:

blue + blue = blue

but

5 + 5 ≠ 5

The comparison to Bazel here is really not appropriate. The core competency of Bazel is to know exactly the build graph and be able to do the minimum amount of work possible. I don't see how this (basically syntactic sugar over multi-stage docker builds) is going to scale in a large monorepo with hundreds or thousands of developers and still maintain CI build times on the order of minutes.
David McGowan's book "Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon" is one ridiculously deep and awesome rabbit hole. It's the history of everything bad, sinister, and just plain weird that went on in Laurel Canyon in L.A during the 60s and the birth of the hippie movement that arose suddenly seemingly out of nowhere. It's arguably even more of an acid trip than listening to the music.

Why is it vital? What does it add to life, the universe, or anything?

Almost no-one in the world has any significance. Of the 7 billion people alive today, 6,990,000 of them will be utterly forgotten in 200 years time. It will be as if they didn't exist.

Why is one extremely niche language so important compared to those 6,990,000 actual, real life, people? It happened, it had no impact on human history, it was forgotten.

End of story, stop making a big deal about it. History is for the meaningful, not the things that wouldn't even make the minor footnotes.
If you're using a VPN to hide from the government, then no.

Governments have government-level resources, and I think a lot of people really don't understand what that means in 2021. They can and do track everything you do online, and analyze every phone call you make.

But they only really care about threats to their own gravy train.

That's why an entire year of riots and looting garnered bent knees, but a single incident of trespass a had the Capitol under full military occupation for months, not to mention the incredible propaganda campaign, and that was just the start of the fun.

The message is clear: do whatever you want in the Districts, but don't mess with the Capitol or its supply of champagne.

Those are easy rules to follow.
> diverse ecosystems are healthier and more resilient to unexpected pressures, and this seems to be universally true.

This is quite true in evolutionary biology (from which you are even borrowing the term ecosystem), where the ever-changing environment puts different evolutionary pressures on a population of organisms, and the more genetically diverse a population is, the higher its chance to adapt to the pressure.

I am not sure that this biological model holds true when applied to social systems. I find it hard to imagine that artificial barriers to information flow in human populations are particularly adaptive (unless, perhaps, an isolation from the frenzied social media due to a natural language barrier is considered adaptive).

How is it less likely? We're living in an ever more globalized world, there's ample evidence that for example the Chinese government collects tons of data on foreigners. Depending on which country you live in foreign governments may be collecting more data than your own.

Telling people to use a VPN as an easy fix for privacy makes their privacy worse. They need to look into and understand how to make their traffic secure, how DNS works, how to use proper encryption, etc. There sadly isn't a simple fix, just like with most things in life. What you do with a commercial VPN is give control over your traffic into the hands of some completely unknown and often very dodgy looking business. One that, like you and others noted, might not even be a business at all.

> In the absence of any possibility of hard evidence to the contrary, the default assumption is going to be that the invention would not be independently invented or productized by someone else.

Obviously if the patent office ignores the change, the change wouldn't help. That's a fairly meaningless analysis though. I am not saying the patent office should deny specifically only patents they can definitively prove will be invented in the next 15 years. I am saying they should use that as the line by which they estimate novelty. Patent applications are not like criminal cases, there need be no beyond reasonable doubt.

Hi rezoner, this tool (both versions) look so cool!

I saw you ask on twitter a few days ago for explanations from people who may have looked but then didn't buy, and I'd like to offer my own experience if you're interested.

I'm at most a hobby artist+gamedev, so I expect I might download this and play around with it for a few days, then forget that I ever had it for ~months, before playing around with it again someday. Because of that pattern, I don't make a lot of purchases for art's sake, e.g. I have wanted pico8 for a long time, yet never acted to buy it. I end up setting a bit of an unfairly high bar for believing I'll actually get use out of a new cool thing like this.

So then, looking around and seeing a new version is coming soon with a lot of big changes/features, and today's version is $30, my immediate question is "would a license for today's version grant access to the new one?"

With that in mind, I looked around on your twitter, your patreon, your itch.io, and a few of your website pages, and I wasn't able to find an answer. I might have just missed it! But that left me feeling scared that I'll pay $30 today and in 3 weeks or something, there'll be a new cool thing that I can't have. But I know that if I just wait a while, I'll likely be able to get the new thing then. So... it pushes me toward wanting to wait, even despite your reasonable request for help in funding development of the new thing I want, which I want to help with.

I also saw a mention of access to a renderer coming soon, for patrons, but as an outsider I'm not sure what the renderer is with respect to the rest of the project. I looked over the patron levels and wasn't sure if there's a reason to choose one level over another, outside of how much I want to contribute. Not that there needs to be! But I wondered about it, and the uncertainty gave me enough anxiety to kind of put off the whole decision. And now we're here. :)

So, to recap:

- I want to contribute to your patreon to feel like I'm helping

- I want to buy spritestack (especially the new one, but also the current one)

- I'd be willing to pay probably $40-50 today

- I'm scared I might pay, then miss out on some benefit, and it's making me defer the decision

Anyway, good luck!

You can have two colliding full length hashes in a row, too. It's just not very likely.

7-8 character shorthashes are perfectly reasonable for tracking a few thousand objects without much chance of collision. There's a tradeoff between the uniqueness guarantee and the friendliness if humans ever need to see the identifier.

Of course, sequential identifiers can be even shorter and friendlier, but they are more troublesome in several ways than hash-derived ones.

Cruise operates in a very few markets for which their specialized self-driving cars have been designed for live testing. They have received special attention and care to have extremely up-to-date local information and are closely managed by operators. It is indeed very encouraging that Cruise is operating this local taxi and soon a local shuttle with almost completely driverless capabilities..

But keep in mind, this doesn't mean they work anywhere else in the country or world. What will happen to them in bad weather or some damage to the vehicle or a flat tire or navigating a scene cordoned off by police, or a parade? What happens when they do not have the meticulously groomed information? Likely, Cruise will manually tell the vehicle to avoid the area, shut the vehicle down, or take over control remotely.

Self-Driving cars are designated into technology levels 0 through 5[0], from no capabilities, to "simple" lane-keeping and/or cruise control, to autonomous with caveats

I don't know exactly which technologies Cruise is using to achieve their mostly autonomous taxi, as that information is worth the billions invested in the company, however from what I have been able to gather, they still use a remote safety operator in some instances. The safety operator can take control of the car if a safety problem presents.

The cruise cars in SF are essentially bespoke for their market. If you take it to Wichita or Maryland, these things will likely not be able to manage the environment. The self-driving capabilities are still unable to reach SAE level 5, fully autonomous driving in all conditions.

Its easy to look at Cruise and conclude, "We've arrived!" but I would still caution restraint, as it has been possible to operate autonomous vehicles with extensive constraints for many years, such as autonomous rail.

Can you replace Postgres with Redis (for some usecases)?
Hi there, I'm looking for a technical discussion. I'm looking for technical debate and I know what MySQL/PG and Redis are capable of. What I'm looking for is a debate where you disagree that following. I want to start with an analogy.
Gasoline cars vs. Electric cars We all know that you can use an electric battery to run a car.

But the thing is, when it comes to a gasoline car, even though it does literally have a battery, it’s not used for running the car. It uses batteries for starting the cars (generating an electric spark to light up the gas), A/C, audio systems, lights, sensors, locks, and so on but not for running the car. Instead, it relies on an internal combustion engine (ICE) to run the car.

It turns out, ICE cars are highly inefficient. Only 16% to 25% of the power that’s generated actually makes it into the wheels. On the other hand, electric vehicles provide about 90% power to the wheels! Further, EVs also have major and additional advantages when it comes to the environment, repair costs, and so on.

If you are looking from the First Principles, even though virtually most cars that are built even today are gasoline cars, the fundamental truth is that they use an inefficient system.

Now if you look at an electric car, it takes advantage of this inefficiency to build a new type of car. In this case, it simply gets rid of the complex and highly inefficient engine and replaces it with a large battery and a motor to directly spin the wheels.

------------- Now coming to the Databases...

In the traditional architecture, you have a primary database (Postgres, Mongo, etc.) and a secondary database, a.k.a, cache (e.g. Redis or Memcache). The primary DB is used to store all the data and support CRUD operations. The caching DB is used for caching, session storage, rate-limiting, IP-whitelisting, Pub/Sub, queuing, and many other things.

And if you think about it, when there is a cache-hit, we are practically using the secondary DB for part of the CRUD operations, but still not fully utilizing it as a primary database.

Does this remind you of the issue with gasoline cars? Just like they literally carry a battery to power numerous things except moving the car, the traditional architectures use things like Redis for everything else except as the main DB.

Do you see the similarities?

What if we use the First Principles thinking to do what the electric car did? Similar to how EVs got rid of the engine, what if we get rid of the slow and inefficient primary database and simply use the cache DB as the main database?

They were interesting beasts, with several personalities. One was a menu driven office suite with a word processor and I think a P-system Pascal arrangement. There was some kind of RSX11 underneath, with ratfor, macro-11, and DEC flavored C with $ identifiers.

Edit - Oh and I think this was one of the machine families DEC would sell where the difference between models was only the glue in some of the expansion slots of the cheap models.

It may surprise the average consumer, but one of the features found in higher-end AV equipment is not just more channels or watts, but control idempotentcy.

When doing home integrations in a past life, we would often choose high-end Denon/Marantz over similarly spec'd Onkyo/Pioneer units specifically for this reason.

Serial ports provided the ability to more robustly connect and get device feedback, which was huge. Also, discrete on/off and source selection were all but required for a fluid integration.

Imagine trying to keep a home integration system synced with the state of an AV receiver if all you have was an IR transmitter and some Source Up/Down commands. We attempted a couple of these and every time the client was so (understandably) disappointed that we started requiring pricier equipment models in order to make the system meet expectations.
