>juvenile pissing contests like Mr. Branson and Mr. Bezos pursue

This is really all it is, it's rich guys performing for other rich guys while the rest of us fight for scraps. It's sickening to me that so many people defend the honor of rich CEOs like Bezos, Branson, Musk, Gates, etc because they truly think that more money = better than.

For professional development books, my process is is two steps: first, read a chapter. Second, extract key insights I want to remember into an Anki card. I may have to re-read the chapter in part to do so, which definitely helps with recall.

I generally try to do about one chapter a night, or ten pages an hour. And I admit it can be hard to get both steps done in the time allotted. Also, the resulting new card review load can be a pain in the ass -- a good cloze card will have three or four forms to review. If you're adding three or four cards per chapter you end up with a lot of new material to review that Anki frontloads by design.

tl;dr: Remembering stuff is hard. But possibly worth it.
It's depressing to watch as the unaccountable ruling class wastes all of our money on pipe-dreams and vanity projects. Meanwhile, the world is on fire.

And what do I mean by "our money"? This is what I mean:

'Included in the many people that Bezos thanked Tuesday was “every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer. Because you guys paid for all this.” Bezos has said he finances the rocket company by selling $1 billion in Amazon stock each year.'

The fact that Blue Origin exists in the first place is evidence of the insane levels of wealth inequality that now exist in our society. At this point, everything that Bezos does is an affront to our sensibilities. The King is riding on roller coasters while his serfs are peeing in bottles.

This guy is profane, unintentionally funny, and right about a lot of things! If you're not a dev, this won't make any sense. If you are, he makes some good points.
Funny, we hold civil engineers accountable and there seem to be plenty of capable engineers to do things that need to be done, and we hold bad pilots accountable, and yet the only reason airlines have a pilot shortage is because they refuse to pay more than $20k a year.

Developers need to stop being so allergic to accountability. It's kind of pathetic
If they are charging full price for it then it is reasonable to complain. It doesn't matter whether they call it "beta" or whatever else.

I do not think there was the time when MySQL was quite dead under Oracle ownership. As far as I aware Engineering team in particularly have only been steadily growing.

The "idiomatic" way to access the first element in an array/sequence in julia is to use the `first` function, e.g. `first(arr)` vs. `arr[1]`. This works across a larger number of array types, including OffsetArrays with 0-based index offsets.

I'm a bit biased but Rook[0] or OpenEBS[1] are the best solutions that scale from hobbyist to enterprise IMO.

A few reasons:

- Rook is "just" managed Ceph[2], and Ceph is good enough for CERN[3]. But it does need raw disks (nothing saying these can't be loopback drives but there is a performance cost)

- OpenEBS has a lot of choices (Jiva is the simplest and is Longhorn[4] underneath, cStor is based on uZFS, Mayastor is their new thing with lots of interesting features like NVMe-oF, there's localpv-zfs which might be nice for your projects that want ZFS, regular host provisioning as well.

Another option which I rate slightly less is LINSTOR (via piraeus-operator or kube-linstor[6]). In my production environment I run Ceph -- it's almost certainly the best off the shelf option due to the features, support, and ecosystem around Ceph.

I've done some experiments with a reproducible repo (Hetzner dedicated hardware) attached as well[7]. I think the results might be somewhat scuffed but worth a look maybe anyways. I also have some older experiments comparing OpenEBS Jiva (AKA Longhorn) and HostPath [8].

What do you mean "wrong"? They expressed an opinion, not a fact.

That you shouldn't be able to be extradited to a country you have nothing to do with, is something I agree with as well, but I wouldn't say it's "true". What is true today is that many countries have treaties to allow them to basically kidnap citizens of other countries. If you think that's good/bad, you should argue for one of those viewpoints, not necessarily if it's true/false.

Seems like we are leaving the cultural moment that presented Marijuana as a glorious panacea which would open your third eye if only you let go of your fear. Our culture was so scared of the stuff before, maybe we needed to paint an unrealistically bright picture to find the courage to leave the cave.

To the unfamiliar it can be a thrilling adventure, to others it can serve as inspiration. It feels like it has mental costs though. Being wary of regular recreational use seems warranted.

It does, but the question is whether the US would extradite one of its citizens for crimes they'd allegedly committed _while in the US_.

I don't see anything on that Wikipedia page that says it would.

The more usual case for extradition is for returning fugitives who have left the country where they allegedly committed the crime.
First off, I did read it, so a TLDR isn't needed. Second, sure that's his claim, but I'm challenging the premise. If your premise is faulty, then what follows is questionable and not proven. Pining for the "good old days" and saying how great they were in your memory does not prove anything about today.
If you live forever, committing crimes seems like it carries a larger risk. Including a much higher risk of actually being murdered, in prison.

Inflation essentially guarantees appreciation at the rate of inflation for hard assets.

If you have a house with a 20 year mortgage at 3% interest where maintenance is 50% of the mortgage payment, with no appreciation in real terms and 2% inflation, 50% of what rent is becomes profit. (1/((1.03-1.02)^20))*0.66 = 54.5%

If you put down as down-payment 100 000$ for a property worth 1800$ in rent, which is realistic, you get 11 000$ in profit per year from a 100 000$ investment, which is great.

That's assuming no appreciation in real terms, ie, the cost of the house exactly matches inflation.

Therefore, renting is profitable even without appreciation of real estate in real terms.*

It's strange. Obesity is our biggest preventable health problem, and it gets almost no attention in the media or by public officials. We heard endlessly from health officials and news media personalities to wash our hands, stay indoors, wear a mask, get vaccinated, but nothing about eating healthier, eating less, exercising more?

"Obesity steals more years than diabetes, tobacco, high blood pressure and high cholesterol -- the other top preventable health problems that cut Americans' lives short, according to researchers who analyzed 2014 data."

https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/news/20170424/the-top-5-condi...

"Obesity is associated with nearly 1 in 5 US deaths, according to a study published online August 15 in the American Journal of Public Health."

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/809516

It should also be part of the climate change discussion:

"Overall, being obese is associated with about 20% more greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) than being a normal weight"

I agree with you and the other person who replied. I also see how UIs that have become hotel-room-like are similar to auto design. They're converging on a mean that is efficient which limits uniqueness.

I feel like there's a place for being unique and place for being an efficient hotel.

Social media sites, ex forums used to have this uniqueness, now they're consolidated hotels for efficiency (not necessarily user friendly efficiency unfortunately).

This site is also a good example of being purposefully painful and bland even at the cost of hostility towards impaired users, but I guess it's unique in that way.
MySQL is alive for companies already using MySQL, but would well informed companies be choosing it today? I'm not so sure.

I think you either want it to have more functionality and you choose Postgres, you want a particular performance profile and you pick MariaDB, or you want the enterprise support and you pick Oracle's database. Why you would pick Oracle-supported MySQL today I'm not sure.
Thank you!! lol
Exactly. That would be the point.
Since we are in anecdotal territory, let me state that I’ve been a heavy smoker since I was 13, and I’m 46 now. I find it difficult to concentrate on coding without weed. I have a very low resting heart rate and enjoy hill climbs on my bicycle and am quite fit, motivated, and not lazy, etc.

I generally suffer exclusively the singular negative effect of others finger wagging and disapproval of a rather pleasurable funcional vice or medication or whatever you wish to call it.

I’ve quit a few times for up to a year and always decided consciously to go back. One of the times I left tobacco behind.
Countless studies will only ever have access to what users are willing to divulge, to the degree that it’s not an open regulated or at least informed market.

There is an interesting singular fact. Not one single overdose death has ever been conclusively linked to cannabis. The LD50 is something crazy like 15kg in the span of 15 minutes for a 75kg human.
I didn't downvote you, but you were downvoted for this. So maybe I'll explain further, instead, to stir conversation.

As you deal with more and more rows, it becomes imperative that all of your where clauses hit indexes/indices, but even beyond that, with large enough row sizes, it's not enough to provide fast responses.

I suspect they deal with this in the form of some sort of caching outside of MySQL, but I haven't read into it.

I'd be curious about how you respond to such challenges at the billions or trillions of rows orders of magnitude. Millions can be difficult enough, but beyond that you may have queries that effectively never return if you do not plan.

Great, thanks for the tip!
I would say most of them do. Look at a satellite map of the Bay Area. Most cities are built right up against forested areas that I would call fire zones. The Santa Rosa fire and the Oakland hills fire were quite large and burned thousands of homes in urban areas, but started in forested areas nearby. Saying people should stop building in the forest and stay in cities will prevent the problems when the forests burn forget that most of the cities in California are next to forests that burn (Bay Area, Los Angeles, etc.). I guess we could clear cut those.
Thanks for replying. I agree with what you've said, and agree that it's helpful to have a term for use that dramatically impacts a person's ability to function. "Use disorder" here does seem to be a reasonable, neutral term for differentiating between normal (or even heavy) use that doesn't cause significant problems and use (at any level) that does cause significant problems (physical, mental, financial, or social).

I have a knee-jerk reaction to calling problematic drug use a "disease". "Disorder", as you've described it, does seem like a reasonable term.
I have a coworker who seems to have some of the tendencies you’ve described. Do you have advice to better work with them?

More specifically:

How do you handle collaborating with other teams if / when your work is a dependency for them delivering theirs?

How do you deal with requirements, use cases, and other pieces of functionality if you just jump into coding?

Narcissism probably isn't the right word for me to be using here. It was on my mind because of this comment, where there happens to be more discussion of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27920152. And it happened to fit the case I was thinking of at the time. But it probably shouldn't be part of my original comment. Specifically what I'm referring to is an integral part of paranoia: someone thinking that, while long-term unemployed and living with their parents in their 40s, they are so "in the loop" as to be aware of conspiracies and such a threat to those conspiracies that they're a target. I have a hard time not equating that attitude with a little bit of narcissism, though again - probably not the right word to have used when discussing specific disorders.
So there has not been any major improvement in MySQL for 3 years? There hasn‘t been released any minor version? Can someone explain the current state more?
I bet it was true, in the context of the time:

Card punches, shared compute time, physical packaging and shipments; imagine the cost of fixing a bug in a program in the rope ROM of the Apollo guidance computers (had they actually bothered fixing one).

I'd love to see the study redone in our postmodern OTA, client/server, no physical media world. The physical overhead cost of fixing a product bug would likely be orders of magnitude lower than in 76, but the units deployed in the field would be many many orders of magnitude higher; so cost per unit is down, but there are waaaaay more units in production. If the bug caused a material cost to the user, I could easily see it being very expensive.

As for there being no experiments; computer science is more of a mathematical discipline than a scientific one. You might say the same thing about theoretical physics, but I still think it's likely that we can't break the speed of light.

At any rate, the IBM study may not have existed, but others that took me less than ten minutes of googling to find definitely did, and do show results in the same order of magnitude as the questionable IBM study.

The question I have is - what are we really arguing for here by refuting this data, allowing more bugs to reach production? Having more broken code in the wild than we already do? Less rigorous development methods? There's barely any rigor in SWE as it exists today, anyway, yet things mostly work through a generous application of trial and error.

Obviously in the real world the sound would saturate. Exponential amplification would stop after one or two megaphones as a few tones would "win" and suppress the others. The joke is that in the cartoon world it keeps on going and turns into a sonic tidal wave and we all laugh at the idea of ten megaphones producing a sonic tidal wave.

Yet when we design an economic system by the exact same principle, people wonder why we get ten shrieking megaphones instead of a magical tidal wave.
