> you could buy two retroids for less than the cost of this

Yes! I could buy many assortments of things for the cost of a Playdate but I want a Playdate. It sounds interesting to me in a way that 2 retroids or 200 packs of gum doesn't.

> some famous people' doing stuff is cool too.

Yes! I find it interesting and a project I'm interested in supporting even if it ends up being disappointing.
I don't see how this will help. FB et. al. work by shoehorning complex nuances into intentionally crude metrics like "engagement.". If they show the engagement-focused algorithm, that shows they're "just trying to engage users."

What would the algorithm show that isn't already apparent?

big takeaway from this post - Brazil as a tech hub is next. Amazing weather, infrastructure in Sao Paulo, tech talent, cheap currency, and a huge domestic TAM. As we get into more manmade climate change, Sao Paulo will pull people south of MIA and even NYC given the time unity and the increase in living standards for every given USD.
I think I’m experiencing this where I work. The Data Lake is quickly gaining traction and feature requests poor in: please incorporate FHIR genomics resources, please make a UI for this image type, place make import filters to extract meta data from these files… this team seems swamped now. The solution would be to give more power to the requesters? Allow them to access underlying technologies, implement their own data models? Seems logical. Am I understanding this correctly?

BTW it's not obvious that an OS is harder to debug.

A logical error in an accounting package can probably often only be found by a checking tool that has the equivalent of all the functionality of the package under test.

OS bugs are more likely to have the side effect of violating language invariants (which eg KASan, UBSan and KCSan often detect), or violating protocols (so you can stress-test eg a TCP implementation and detect the bug), or it can violate API invariants (so you can use some API-level stress test like stress-ng to detect the bug.)

All of these tools are much less complex than the software under test. I think the warlord of Wu made the comment about debugging before massive automated testing, compiler instrumentation etc were a thing.

And I think a similar argument can be made wrt software and hardware-level visibility/tracing mechanisms - again an OS will end up being easier than higher-level software given a good investment in tooling.
Same experience here. They changed APIs with no warning at version 0.46, breaking whatever spotty iOS/Android support they had. That’s not a knock against them: mobile contentEditable is terribly difficult to get right. But the surprise total deprecation of their stable branch was uncool to say the least, even if they did warn the software was beta. I heard Slate raised money to fix Android support, but whether or not that’s true, the whole thing was a really bad experience.

I also wholeheartedly recommend ProseMirror. It’s a bit complicated in some ways, but it works across platforms, is used in production widely at big companies despite sort of flying under the radar, and has been stable for years. If you’re looking for a fully baked React integration, TipTap[0] seems really nice, or if something minimalist then a plug for my own integration: use-prosemirror[1].

Elexir might be a nice language, but you could probably also implement the server using socat... That said, scaling to tens of thousands of concurrent players is like the holy grail, especially if you want to shoot stuff and there need to be hit detection, and safe from client modifications/hacks.

The point is that when every parking spot is a fast charger, why bother with the gas station model?

> You have humans, robots, and dogs all fitting into your nice class hierarchy. But now you need a robot dog that breaks everything.

I like the way you put that. Though humans and dogs are 85% similar at a DNA level, so makes sense for them to inherit from a common parent. And my guess is robots and robot dogs would be ~85% similar at a building block level, so dog would inherit from robot.

I think go easy on levels of inheritance but have really strong root classes that most things inherit from.

I mostly read ebooks now, but my main issue w/kindle and similar readers is that a lot of my retention is spatial. E.g I remember where physically something is in a book better than where in a reflowable document something is.

Sticking to a single, fixed size reader and avoiding changing font sizes helps solve some of that, but it's not quite the same.
Yes, and now the U.S. mobile telcos are applying a completely subjective "reputation" "brand trust score", which sounds a lot like the Chinese social credit score. Oh, and they're charging a ton more for the privilege of sending a small number of texts, too.

I guess when you engage in price-fixing in the open and call it "setting a standard", then anti-trust rules don't apply..
I have the right not to get the shot. I control my own body. But there are others involved, not just me.

In the same way, with abortion, there's another involved, the fetus. It's not part of the mother's body (it's genetically different).

The "it's my body" argument breaks down in the same way for both issues. Unfortunately, both sides want to pick and choose when they apply which logic.

Back when I smoked cigarettes I could tell I had smoked to much because I would get Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. I would feel like my bed was rotating in the world, my head would feel like it was too big for the room or that my feet would be dozens of meters away from me.

I thought I was going crazy for a while until I found out what it was.
This is touched on, and you can get a lot of those things by living in an area with different climes in close proximity, for example a coastal region that rises into mountains not too far away.

So the question is, if you want snow some times, do you want to live in the snow, or have access to the snow, and how close is close enough? The bay area has Tahoe, which you can reach in about 4 hours, for access to snow. If you want to actually live in the snow for at least part of the year, the SF Bay Area won't cut it then.
Back when I was younger with a limited texting plan, I got a google voice number and managed to get a used kindle keyboard with free 3g for life. Had some wonderful conversations on the kind of solution a broke teenager puts up with. I had to refresh the mobile google voice page in order to see any new messages.

It's not really Amazon's fault, I know a relative is receiving a free flip phone through AT&T because the old phone they were using doesn't have 4g LTE support. In that case I think it has to do with being able to call 911.

What actually surprises me is that they have kept backwards support through wifi for these devices, to be able to browse the kindle store. Whispersync, at least the part of it used for cloud sync between kindle and your amazon account, seems to be working too.
Whole heartily agree! From this medium post [0]:

My wife tried to hide her age, but not being terribly Facebook savvy changed her DOB to the current date.

She was immediately blocked from Facebook. She appealed and gave her proof of age. Still, Facebook wouldn’t budge.

Facebook’s automated mechanisms suck. If they can’t tell that someone who has been on the platform for over a decade with photos showing she is a middle aged women, married with two kids, is not, in fact, several days old, then they have no business fact checking posts from the CDC!

The simple fact is, I have massively decreased my use of Facebook in the last 6 months. I really feel that for the health and safety of everyone it might be a good idea for others to do so also.
> If your backend is frequently throwing 500 errors and "convince the users of your system that this is OK" flies with your management, sure, backend is easy!

Strawman argument. I think you’re responding to something I didn’t write. The argument is kind of absurd.

> …but "as available as possible because outages cost us $XXXX/minute" is.

“As available as possible” is not a reasonable requirement. If this is your requirement, you’re in deep shit, but for different reasons. The problem is that you can generally spend more money to get more uptime. At some point, you have to say that the cost of more uptime is too dear.

You can do experiments, testing, and simulation to get a more quantitative handle on the trade-off between uptime and resources spent. If you care that much, that is. But “as available as possible” is a bad requirement because there’s no way to tell if it’s satisfied.

What ends up happening is that people unsatisfied with uptime can blame you for not having enough uptime, but they aren’t telling you how much is enough. The purpose of having a requirement is to record an agreement between different teams about “how much uptime is enough uptime”. It can be the wrong number, and it can be revisited, but if it’s not a number (with a way to measure it), you won’t be able to calculate other numbers like “how many database replicas do I need?”

> And remember the context of this thread…

I’m responding to the CAP theorem bit. You said that the CAP theorem means, “you can't have a perfect system here, you have to choose”, and I think that this is misstating the CAP theorem.

> Saying this allows for random-ass 500 errors whenever stuff is broken is such a huge copout as to make that original claim meaningless.

503 errors aren’t random. They happen when the backend is unavailable. It’s not a random “stuff is broken” error—that’s 500.

This is not a cop-out. Services will sometimes be unavailable. The 503 status is the correct way to signal this to the front-end. The fact that the back-end returns a 5xx series error code does not mean that there is a bug in the back-end.

Likewise, if the service is important enough, your front-end should be able to respond to a 503 error with some kind of reasonable workflow for the user.
20 tactical ideas for making meetings better
Oh man! Definitely watch the videos because this is addressed multiple times. And while it sounds plausible (it bit Kusenko) it's not the explanation! Here's one reason why:

On the craft is a ribbon, it's dangling from the front of the craft. This is called a "telltale" because it tells the direction of the wind from the perspective of the craft. If the craft is at rest, then the telltale points downwind. And if the craft is moving faster than the wind the telltale points the opposite direction -- backwards, if the craft is moving downwind.

What you can see from the runs is that while the telltale is pointing backwards (so, the craft is moving faster than the wind) the craft actually continues to accelerate! In fact while the landspeed record was set as 2.8x the ambient windspeed, the craft was still accelerating, and would have gone faster had they not had to brake.

The videos have a lot more to say and I found them really fascinating and counterintuitive, I wanna really emphasize that you should watch them if you find the idea banal or trivial.
As a counterpoint, I found the journey interesting and learned a lot about various tools on the way. Only caveat is that they didn't end up pinpointing the error - understandable, given that they are not paid to fix bugs in Intel code, and Intel having fixed the bug already in a newer version anyway.
I can certainly understand and sympathize with not wanting to see Bernie Sanders dank memes.

This argument I see everywhere "Facebook amplified your voice, a phone line does not" misses a key point: Facebook chooses to amplify voices. All any of us wanted really was for our friends to see what we say, if they choose to see it. So really, Facebook and similar entities at creating the problem deliberately and then claiming they're entitled to solve it by placing scarlet letters around their site.

If Google hadn’t implemented ContentID they could very well have lost the suit from Viacom about Google not doing what the DMCA requires.

And rightfully so of course, Google claims they can’t review everything for copyright infringement yet for instance they succeed pretty well in filtering adult content.

While it is true that the YouTube takedown and strikes system favors large companies, it’s just about the same as the basic provisions of the DMCA, with the unwarranted takedowns, claimants who never get held to the ‘penalty of perjury’ for false claims etcetera. And compare exactly the same complaints about for instance Twitch.
Having met him through a friend of a friend, I have only good things to say. Humble and friendly guy.
The most annoying thing about frontend is the shifting sands. Not only is it complex but APIs, browsers / windowing systems, OSes, and UI/UX fads are constantly shifting. You often have to rewrite the damn thing every few years or it looks "old," and when people see apps that look "old" they assume they're not maintained or are of low quality.
I would argue that the virtualization aspect is more important than the processiness of a container. Sure it's a process but it's a process that you've carefully controlled the resources it can access. You've put it in its own network namespace, you've rebuilt it's filesystem so it sees an entirely different / than the rest of the system, etc etc. If the process isn't checking, you can make it behave like it's in its own little world, with it's own kernel. Because of that, it's much more predictable than just a process.

Saying it's a process is mostly correct, and saying it's a process tree is a guess even more correct I think they both miss the point.
No. A container shares the same kernel with the host OS. It doesn't do any of its own hardware setup. At most the host kernel will create some virtual network interfaces and create a filesystem for it. The container's processes are the same as other processes on the host OS, just with some special accounting flags that govern how many resources they get and what they're allowed to see from the host.

A VM host creates a guest environment with a bunch of virtual hardware devices and starts up the guest's kernel that talks to them through its own drivers. The guest does its own hardware initialization, formats and mounts its own block storage devices, does its own bootup and process scheduling, etc.
Like master-slave, the metaphorical use of white-black to connote good-evil is oppressive.

There is even a name for this pervasive language pitfall: the association of white with good and black with evil is known as the “bad is black effect” [Grewal].

Indeed, there is an entire book on the subject, written by renowned authority on race, Franz Fanon. In his book “Black Skin, White Masks,” Fanon makes several persuasive arguments that standard language encodes subconscious in-group, out-group preferences

Minimum pay was an example, collectively bargained contracts offer other protections as well, but these differ more from case to case, so I didn't bring them up.

I have also negotiated my pay up, but under the umbrella of collective bargaining agreements. As far as I know, you are always able to negotiate your pay up. This has worked pretty well for me as well.
Economically, a typical programming book will gain you around 20K USD, which is normally a two month pay as a good software(if you can write a book about programming, you're probably very good at it).
