I would not expose kafka directly. I would implement this as:

HTTP Endpoint -> Push to message queue (kafka, SQS, etc) -> Acknowledge receipt

That's a pretty straight-forward design that's widely used, robust, and easy to put together. I've probably done that same workflow 100s of times without issue.

As long as you guarantee the message was pushed to the queue before acknowledging, that will be fabulously reliable. You need to make contingencies for duplicate messages, but that's not usually difficult.
Everything he does is in some way to make the post-scarcity far future of The Culture more attainable.

For all of his social flaws this thought alone gives him my deep respect. I don't think he is infallible but in my opinion a lot of attempts at character assassination don't truly understand the underlying purpose of why he does what he does. I still look at developments in his companies with a critical eye - for example neuralink is rather close to making me uncomfortable with how soon we may have commerically viable high-speed BMI. And then I remember all the medical good that can be done with it. I am wary of Starlink interfering with space observation and science, and yet I can think of all the good that can come from more minds having better access to humanity's greatest learning tool, the internet.

He's not perfect, and I most certainly cannot defend the work ethic required of those employed under him. But if I were to have a chance to do it for a year, I would know the reasons I was going through it for.
Trees do much more than remove carbon from the air. Carbon removal machine could potentially create c02 deficit regions, creating hostile environments for trees.

We can't possibly build a machine for every function a tree does.
Thank you, if there is any benefit to having that level of certainty (and not to satisfy internet naysayers) then I may still do this, but I have received my shot (Jansen) because there are still some immunological benefits from that and it helps in a regulatory sense as well (lots of doors are closed to people that have not been vaccinated).

What matters to me is that I got through it, still live pretty carefully even now because I don't want a re-run if I can avoid it and I would advise anybody that hasn't had it yet and/or has not been vaccinated to go and get that done as soon as you can. This is no walk in the park, I used to be pretty fit for my age, and the last year has been a complete wipe-out. Avoid if you can.

> doctors are surprised that COVID may do the same?

Because we all decided to collectively forget every single thing we know about respiratory viruses and infectious diseases. Somehow because covid is "novel" the world needed to rebuild our entire knowledge base from the ground up.

A good example is how lasting t-cell immunity was dismissed for the longest time (and still is in many circles). People apparently seemed to think that this virus was so special and new that people would just keep getting it over and over again every six months or something. Is there any virus in the history of mankind that does this? If we kept getting infected with the same virus over and over... humanity would have died off a long time ago....

Labeling it as "novel" let people just ignore common friggen sense and completely loose the plot.
Taleb sure made a U-turn when volatility didn't decrease when the value increased as he would have expected.
„Derive“ was an excellent piece of software. Loved it. Until I came across Mathematica years later.
So where are all the successful Krav-trained strikers and grapplers in the MMA world? If the striking and grappling are as effective as other styles that have stood the test of time, it's remarkable that there are still few if any high-level MMA fighters with a Krav background.

Professional fighters aren't going to study a system where 50%+ of what they learn is disallowed in competitions. However, Krav _is_ used by/taught to various special forces and law enforcement groups. To me, this more than makes up for a lack of "professional fighters" using the discipline.

Leaving aside your questionable claim that groin shots and eye attacks are very harmful

Try going to any martial arts lesson while not wearing a cup and LMK what your thoughts are afterwards :)

all of this would only be true if the time the Krav fighter invested in training those other techniques was not at the expense of the basic striking and grappling skills.

However the big practical problem with techniques like joint locks and targeting soft spots isn't that they can't work, it's that training them to the level where they can work effectively often requires much more time to build up much more skill than just punching the other guy in the face as hard as you can or executing a basic takedown and hold on the ground. If you'd just spent that much time practising the simple, reliable striking and grappling techniques, you might get a lot more bang for your buck.

Your comment makes me wonder if either you've not actually seen proper Krav Maga or you've seen it as practiced by a McDojo type of place. I attend classes led by a Krav Maga Worldwide certified instructor. Each lesson begins with 10-15 minutes of combatives (basic kicks, palm strikes, hammer fists, etc.). It's the whole "practice 1 kick 1000x" thing. The lesson then focuses on basic skills like escape choke from the front, escape choke from the side, escape bear hug, etc. It's all very practical and focused on primal attacks/counterattacks ("punching the other guy in the face as hard as you can" like you said).

Joint locks and targeting soft spots are just tools that _can_ be used, but the mantra is "closest weapon, closest target." Hit where you can as hard as you can and don't stop until they stop. With only a couple of exceptions, no weapon disarms happen until your opponent has stopped fighting.

Bottom line is that Krav in its true form is reliable striking and grappling techniques combined with "OK let's practice how to respond in this specific scenario." It doesn't get fancy and tries not to employ techniques that require any fine motor skills.

So, to summarize this study, they basically just asked a few hundred people that had Covid in the past if they had recently felt tired, depressed, had trouble sleeping, etc., and then reported that a number of the people they asked this replied yes. That's it. There was no medical evaluation of whether the reported symptoms even had a medical cause. There was no comparison to the answers a random control sampling of the population that hadn't gotten Covid would have given. They just asked a bunch of people that had just finished living through 1+ years of lockdown if they had been tired or depressed recently.

If you're considering this (I wouldn't), be aware that milk of magnesia is a very effective laxative, and other magnesium salts like magnesium oxide etc work similarly.
You took 79 key presses to point that out. And here I am taking even more to respond. Clearly commenting is not based purely on a keypress-based economical model.
I'd like to know as well. Never had any covid AFAIK, yet I'm currently on my second week of feeling tired and on my fourth day of experiencing heart palpitations maybe once every hour (feels like my heart skipped a beat and the next one is a bit stronger). I've never had this before and my antigen test yesterday was negative.
i think the key difference is the incidence rate. if long term symptoms occur in less than one percent of cases, that's still enough for doctors to see and treat without surprise. this article says the incident rate for covid-19 is 25%, which is shockingly high.
You don't believe it can? In some places, it already has.
Hey can only talk for my wife (got covid late March 2020)

40yo, not over weight, was at the gym 4 days a week, could squat and deadlift 50kg, very active life.

Only 'pre existing' was coeliac disease and very very mild asthma. Like barely ever took a blue inhaler but had one in the house. Other that That fit and healthy and very active.

Inital covid as bad, but after 2 weeks was nearly back to normal, then breathing got worse, heart rate all over the place, numbness, brain fog etc. Only just getting back to normal now but still not ready for exercise yet.

That'd make perfect sense, actually. 20°C = 68.0°F, 21°C = 69.8°F which rounds up to 70. No anti-niceness conspiracy here, just math.
Bizarrely, BuzzFeed News does some serious journalism. They recently won a Pulitzer prize for exposing Uighur internment camps in China.

Main BuzzFeed is still the usual clickbait trash, but their news wing is at least taking a stab at being actual investigative journalism.
GPS driving: a digital biomarker for preclinical Alzheimer disease
Exactly this is what one expects of these offshoring companies. This consultant makes $400 per month or $2.27 per hour, while his company makes off of him $4800 per month or $27.72 per hour, assuming this company is paying $30 per hour.

You should go after the consulting company instead, no that poor contractor, because they are the chief cause of this kind of behavior.

Of course, many people say that this is how big law firms, accounting firms, etc work even in the states.
They do actually answer the question in the title: it's because the armor is modular. You can wear just the kevlar or add the ceramic plates to get level III protection.

> For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep

One potential reason is dramatically lower cardio stress. I run about 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week through asthma. I can run through the asthma for a bit but it raises my pulse rate during exercise. Even better than running is long distance speed walking which burns calories just the same but keeps your pulse in your exercise target heart rate. The result is a resting heart rate of about 53 bpm for most of the rest of the day with excellent blood pressure. A couple years ago when I was fast (and far away from my asthma triggers) my resting heart rate was around 44bpm. Not bad for somebody in their 40s.

Out of shape my resting heart rate is closer to low or mid 70s and my blood pressure is about 40 points higher. I also seem to achieve 20 pounds overweight. My heart has to work much harder during the day and I need better sleep to make up the difference.

As a side note I have discovered the muscles that induce asthmatic symptoms fall off after about 45 minutes of continuous intense cardio. I suspect that’s how long it takes for those muscles to reach muscle failure and relax.
I've used it before as well.

You can check it, but I'm pretty sure the difference is negligible. But yeah, all benchmarks are using the code in perf and the pop code is just to demonstrate. It is not benched.

I would wager you'll never see it: either it'll stay with Lightning indefinitely, or they'll drop the charging port entirely (which would be unfortunate).

Honestly though, if its enough content for mobile, its enough content for desktop as well.

The "garbage" we don't want to serve mobile, is often also garbage for desktop, autoplay videos, too many tracking scripts, etc. If we force people to optimize their site for mobile and desktop then maybe we'll actually get good desktop sites.
Apple products are not Veblen goods. They are primarily bought for their utility.

The wikipedia page for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good is interesting. It talks about wastefulness, but then excludes "ethical goods" from consideration as being wasteful. Apparently we are never allowed to ask whether a cottage farm in Portland is wasteful compared to an efficient mechanized farm. Only intent matters.
Great question! It doesn't look like they have an answer for that.
Cool thing is they managed to capture the lightning in the selfie.
Moon’s Wobble Will Intensify Flooding Along U.S. Coasts by the Mid-2030s
In a low oxygen, low water environment it would work fine.

For example an old coal mine and then seal it.

Old coal mines are too dangerous for humans to enter so you need some kind of robotics to load them up with trees and other biomatter to bury.
I mean there are many real world examples where the impact of A has no effect on B, obviously. The number I'm thinking of, has, truly, no effect on the time since you last blinked. No sample size will change that.

Lucky Charms does probably relate to blood type in some impossibly small way. It makes sense that a biological trait has some relation to dietary consumption. I don't think any sort of non-garbage tier journal with peer review would publish it, but good on p-values for helping us detect them though. Not bad on sample size for making it possible to discern this effect size with a high degree of confidence.

It's worth noting that we also have many other tools to help us. For example you can test, given an expected effect size and a sample size, what the probability is of getting a statistically significant result, or a non-significant result, or a significant result that erroneously goes in the wrong direction. Or what the range of likely true mean effect size is given a significant sample difference.

We want large samples. They enhance confidence in findings. The author's premise seems to be it's better not to know that small rocks exist if we're only looking for big rocks. But fails to mention that the tools to find small rocks also help us identify big rocks with more clarity.
Author isn't wrong, just missing the point which is that regulators and politicians of COURSE know how to crush Bitcoin. The issue is that the "powers that be" WANT crypto to succeed and that's why you're seeing the kind of regulation that legitimizes crypto instead of the kind that destroys it.

Specifically:
- the intelligence community loves crypto because it gives them more "digital trail" to monitor people and populations.

- policymakers love the idea of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) because it provides fine grained monetary control. Everybody would love to see a federally backed stablecoin replace USDT etc.

- the taxation authorities like crypto because it's a lot of net new revenue - millions of people are agreeing to tax themselves, and since transactions are all public, it's hard to hide.

Yeah, I know, but believe me, it's not drive-by advice just because you hear it all the time. Things can be true without being easy (or even possible for everyone).

Insomnia might be a medical condition, but that doesn't mean your doctor has a prescription for it. If they do, it probably comes with a bunch of advice similar to the conventional stuff you're tired of hearing.
Cornel West Releases Resignation Letter from Harvard
I switched my primary dev environment to NixOS in a graphical VM on macOS towards the end of 2020 and I love it: https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1346136404682625024?s=2...

Previously, I used Nix on Mac (as this blog post suggests) but I had enough “gotchas” with Nix on Mac that I decided to go full NixOS.

For those who ask why a VM or why I keep Mac around at all: I like macOS for everything else besides dev work. I use iMessages heavily, I like the Mac App ecosystem such as calendars, mail clients, etc. This gives me the best of both worlds.

I usually run this on an iMac Pro but also have a MacBook Pro. It runs great on either. It’s also really nice with Nix to update one machine and the other is just one command away from being equivalent.

I recognize this is a “weird” setup but wanted to point it out since it seems relevant to this post.
> With Covid, there are too many to ignore, so such things are now getting more attention.

Too many to ignore or just that we decided to put a huge magnifying glass on it? We have our log levels turned up to "ultra verbose" and are collecting every single scrap of data. If we looked at other respiratory viruses with the same amount of logging... I would bet we'd see just as much, if not more, crap as we are with covid. Never has a respiratory virus been followed this closely.
I've have had a couple issues implementing Long Polling in the past. At times I've had the firewall or reverse proxy drop client connections if it detects no data transfer. Which meant I had to timeout all the requests every 30 secons or so. Make a new request before the other one ends, and it all becomes messy.

At this point, its honestly just easier to just have a websocket + events endpoint with a cusor both.
Sorry but I still don’t see the point in having kids or how it’s necessary for a happy life. People don’t make kids because it makes them happy. People make kids because they’re wired to do so.
Switchgrass is faster, and grows in more climates.
So as I understand it, I'd have to choose between this and MagSafe charging setup I've invested in? This does not seem to have magnets/coil on the outside so I can't keep my phone with this attached on the MagSafe charger it seems. I wonder if I detach them can I keep the isolated pack on MagSafe to charge?

This is more confusing than it needs to be. At least there is reverse charging so I don't have to choose between charging and CarPlay.
Schopenhauer became disillusioned early in life. He quickly came to think that people, in general, are not rational and appeals to their rationality is a mistake, if you are looking to convince them.

His book is more a passive aggressive denunciation of this.

Sorry to hear that has happened, seen similar things a few times over the years. FWIW -- my advice is based on having worked with India firms and individual freelancers since 1998 in various capacities, overwhelmingly positive experiences but not all.

In general you got it removed quickly, which is critical and really awesome. I'd push the company in India to refund some of your fees (or not bill for anything outstanding) and affirm that they are dealing with the situation and have them guarantee (in writing) that this will not reoccur and that all code has been removed from their and their employees equipment. Reputable India contracting firms do not want the bad look either so they generally will deal with it quickly and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Personally, I'd be really cautious on going super public and shaming them at this point because you have to understand that your chances of recourse with an India based company and individual are nearly zero. Creating a lot of noise posting their names and stuff could cause them to retaliate and put the code up for good in many places not just GitHub. GitHub you'd have a good chance of a DMCA type takedown since it is your property, but they'll just post it in 30 other places that won't recognize such requests.

You also have to understand the courts in India are SLOW and won't favor a western company over one of their companies/citizens, with a few exceptions. If you were a large corp, e.g. GE, Fiserv, Microsoft etc then things are different -- plus most of those have in Country subsidiaries to try and control IP etc. If you took them to court in the US (based on how your contract is setup) the US courts may rule in your favor but they have no way to enforce a ruling against them overseas, so great you get a judgement but your code is still published.

If they publish again to GitHub, absolutely send a takedown request and document the details. Otherwise, my 2 cents is to just move on and be thankful you got it down quickly.

I understand that "the python programming language" probably doesn't involve snakes. On the other hand, "the TeXmacs math typesetting software" doesn't obviously not involve LaTeX and isn't obviously not for emacs.
A 5 page essay probably wouldn't be written by hand (to make sure everyone wrote a consistent 5 pages), but in-person tests certainly are. In college/high school I remember having to write 2 essays in two hours long-hand for multiple tests in the last decade. We just use block letters.

People in my generation find cursive illegible and clumsy, but with practice writing block letters can be plenty fast.
Precisely. If there is a benefit to me I'll get tested. Even the medic I talked to was pretty clear: don't bother, save the test for someone who really needs it. Which at that time could have saved a life for someone that needed to have an operation and required a COVID test prior to admission.
> [article author's wife] Not exactly. I wanted to have kids with you and work and be like everyone else. Live a normal life. I’m tired of being weird. And I don’t want to go back to work if you aren’t. That’s weird too. You wouldn’t even be a stay-at-home-dad. You’d be nothing.

this part is confusing. it seems like she's saying she wanted to be working and have kids the whole time? hard to understand how you could get that far along the path without realizing it's the exact opposite of what you want. a more reasonable way to understand the quote is that she simply changed her mind after realizing the implications of their life path.

which leads to a more reasonable way of interpreting this line:

> [article author] And that was it. That the second big ticket problem, critical issue #2. She couldn’t get her head around the idea that we were different.

I think (or at least hope) the author isn't saying they are special people with some kind of special destiny to FIRE. if I read it as "she couldn't accept our being different [from our friends]", it makes a lot more sense. I think the author is painfully aware that working and starting a family is the "normal" thing to do.
