Kind of the million dollar question. People like to complain about cassandra, but that just brings up the adage about C++: people complain about the things they use.

But let's not pretend that cassandra isn't almost always a bear. The other problem is that cassandra keeps things up (and never gets the credit for it) but that creates a host of edge cases and management headaches (which makes management hate it).

Most competitors abandon AP for CP (HBase and Cockroach and I think FoundationDB) in order to get joins and SQL, but the BFD on cassandra is the AP design.

Scylla did a C++ rewrite to address tail latency due to JVM GC, but after an explosive release cycle, they basically stalled at partial 2.2 compatiblity. Rocksandra isn't in mainline and doesn't appear to be worked on anymore.

I follow the Jepsen tests a lot: they don't seem to have found a magic solution.

I think Cassandra stopped short of some key OSS deliverables, and I think they could simplify the management as well, both with a UI for admin and with some re-jiggering of how some things work on nodes. The devs are simply swamped with stability and features right now.

And Datastax won't help that much, what admin UI cassandra had was abandoned, and I half think the reason they acquired TLP was that TLP was producing/sponsoring useful admin tooling.

I would love to try something new. What appeals to me about cassandra is the fundamentals of the design, and the fair amount of tranparency there is (although there is still some marketing bullcrap that surrounds it like "CQL is like SQL" and other big lies).

So many other NoSQL's are bolt-on capabilities for handling distribution that Jepsen exposes (MongoDB famously) and have sooo much bullcrap in their claims. All the NoSQLs are desperate for market share, so they all lie about CAP and the edge cases.

Purely distributed databases are VERY HARD and are open to exaggeration, handwaving, and false demonstrations by the salesmen, but those people won't be around when you need a database like this to shine: when the shit hits the fan, you lose an entire datacenter, or similar things.
Of course that's anti-vax.

The main purpose of getting the vaccine isn't just to protect yourself -- it's to reduce the chances of you transmitting it to others. It's about herd immunity, not personal immunity. Whether you're young and healthy is irrelevant.
Yes, of course he's losing influence seeing as how he's haemorrhaging listeners - like me - who do not want to get Spotify only to listen to Rogan. He often has interesting guests, he has no problems trampling all over the boundaries of correctness (which I deem to be a good thing) but he should have realised that there is a large overlap between the group of people who might be interested in listening to such conversations and the group of people who do not want to feed the Big Data Beast by installing and running apps like Spotify. I listen to a lot of netcasts using my own aggregator (based on Airsonic) which can handle anything which is available through an RSS feed. Spotify does not integrate with this system which means that Spotify-only content simply will be ignored - there is enough competition on the netcast market after all.
To be fair, Milo was pretty thought provoking.
I would be thrilled if both of those people simply ceased to exist, but I think it's dishonest to delete and "forget" old episodes of a show because you later decide that the guests on those episodes were terrible people.

(I don't consider it material that presumably Spotify required deleting them as part of the deal. Rogan agreed to those terms, so clearly the money was more important to him.)

I absolutely agree. I took up metalwork because I wanted to make something visible, that you could touch. Weaponry isn't really my thing, but I'll probably make more knives, I enjoy the esthetic constraints, history of the art and materials.

Apple wants to perform the repairs so they can charge a premium. If batteries were easy to replace, consumers would do it themselves.

IIRC iOS even detects if a battery has been replaced regardless of whether it’s an authentic first-party battery and warns the user; Apple technicians use a tool to prevent these warnings for first-party repairs.

If he was looking for the best ideas, he would of had a completely different set of guests.
I actually like Spotify. For music, though. Listening to podcasts in a music app – makes no sense to me. I have Overcast for that purpose and I see no reason to switch. I can understand that it was a good deal for Rogan personally if he got 100 million USD for exclusivity but for the average podcast host I believe that an open platform is much better.
I am a free speech absolutist. The answer to speech you don't like is more speech, not censorship.
I guess you could make the same argument pointing to Jupyter Notebook or D3.js - if you already know how to use a programming language like R, Python or JS and how to visualise data with it, you're probably not the target audience as end user.

This looks more like it's made for an Analyst who mainly uses SQL or Excel.

But if it makes me more productive that Jupyter Notebooks for simple reports, I'll give it a try.
Right, so don't listen to those episodes. I, on the other hand, like hearing both sides so I can make an informed decision on why I disagree with whomever.

'So and so is bad, I heard it from X' has never been good for any human society.

Pretending the episodes don't exist is rewriting history.

'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Personal point- if I saw Alex Jones personally I would not want to be him. He has, for his own enrichment, destroyed personal relationships, caused me endless arguments with friends/family and is a walking detrament to society. I hate with a passion the garbage he spews to sell some garbage fake pills. But I still believe he has a right to be heard.

1. Yes, if you have specific DBs, please feel free to create an issue on Github. We're also working on opening up the DB connector ecosystem so that people can add their own. I've also opened an issue for CSVs, I think we could support them pretty seamlessly.

2. Evidence is actually pretty slick in this regard. This is one of the benefits from starting from a web framework and working backwards towards the data analyst, rather than starting from Jupyter and trying to work forwards (if that makes sense).

The markdown documents compile to svelte components, so you can just add <script> tag, and/or a <style> tag right into your .md file. d3 works pretty seamlessly in svelte, so you can go nuts. The other neat thing is the styles scope themselves to the

We haven't written the docs for this portion yet, but you can also add global svelte components to your project, so if you wanted to write something re-usable you can write it that way, and then just import it into your reports to use it as a component. In either case, you could call out to other APIs if you didn't want to retrieve data via a SQL query.

As an example, an add-on component library we'd like to build is an interface to FRED data from the St Louis Fed. That way if you just need a quick chart of GDP, or you want to add recession shading to one of your charts, you can just drop it in without having to load that data into your database. <FredTimeSeries ref=gdp/> that type of thing.
I used to work with the Zettelkasten Archive and vim, but I think I'll switch to Obsidian. The graph and link autocompletion are the main selling points for me compared to my current setup.

> He's flat-out wrong; if you're 21, generally healthy, exercising, etc., you absolutely should get the vaccine.

While I generally agree with you, this is an opinion, not an unquestionable fact. Especially as we're seeing elevated risk of myocarditis in young men, there's absolutely a legitimate debate here.

I don't necessarily think Rogan is the one advancing that debate, but presenting opinions as facts is not helping anyone.
It's everything you could want, but this a lot of asterisks. A lot of things are limited (check other comment), but most importantly, their policies force you to hand over any text you write on their platform. But frankly, I'm not sure if there's anything near a perfect solution. A lot of companies use a big clump of services including both self-hosted and "rented". I hope to one day see a better, more comprehensive solution in line with the future of online work.

A while ago (2011ish maybe?) I had a hand-me-down laptop whose processor speed was measured in MHz (it even had a floppy drive!). The previous owners had windows XP on it but that didn't really run well. I tried various Linux distros/desktop environments/window managers and found that even running a barebones AwesomeWM setup was sluggish. I decided to give Haiku a shot and was surprised by how smooth it felt. I'm pretty sure the only sluggishness I had when opening applications or booting up was because the hard drive was very slow. I don't know how they did it but somehow it worked wonderfully on this really weak laptop. (Unfortunately I couldn't get the floppy drive working, idr why but some driver issue blocked me.)

Since then I've kept an eye on it and plan on going back to it with some more powerful and better supported hardware to really get to play around with stuff like the interesting filesystem and get some things I use all the time ported over. Would love to switch over from mainly using Linux to having a Linux home server, and using Haiku as a daily driver and sshing in for Linuxy stuff.
Maybe in some sort of way that is undiscovered, but the important thing to note is that DNA is a chemical signature and not a physical one.
Kudos!

I see no reason to use a Mac unless I have to do iOS/Mac OS works. I hope for day where we can do Mac dev on Linux at that point I don't have to deal with this whole Mac fiesta anymore
I enjoyed listening to Joe's podcast quite a bit, and had been since around the hundredth episode, but to me podcasts always equaled audio files indexed in an RSS feed. So as far as I'm concerned Spotify does not have podcasts, and that they tout otherwise is enough for me to avoid them out of spite, Joe or no Joe.

Haven't heard Joe's voice in my ear since mid 2020.
If you are asking: "Why can't I solicit XYZ from all comers, trusting that they have the responsibility to ensure that they aren't violating any contract"

We can look at: Louis Rossmann soliciting firmware, tools, schematics, and parts from people. He's started that he feels he is, at best, in a legal grey area. At worst, he's paying people to exfiltrate intellectual property and trade secrets from Apple.

Moonlighting can look like industrial espionage if you squint really hard.
It wasn't just those two people. https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/ikf9at/full_list_...

Also how do you know that either of those people are what others have told you they are? If you're unable to listen to them because they've been depersoned everywhere, you have no way of knowing if they're truly as represented or have been character assassinated. I'm not trying to convince you that either of them aren't who you think they are (from what I've seen, you're not far off) but rather have you see that you could be wrong about them (or others in the future) if you are not allowed to hear them first hand and only get views of them filtered through others.

You can pull it off if you've got integrity. John Stewart surely has plenty of integrity in my eyes. Joe's definitely also going for integrity, but maybe he's also liable to be pulled into the views of his guests. He certainly keeps an open mind, but if you surround yourself with a certain kind of people at some point you'll develop a bias no matter how open you're trying to be.

What's scarier are the persons who for the law are considered entertainment, but conduct themselves on Fox as if they're real journalists, and lie and deceive with impunity. If Joe Rogan could disrupt the right media with that, the same way John and maybe Stephen did on the left side, the world would be a better place for sure.

> I don't want to get into a semantic debate about the word "actively". Suffice it to say that some people don't want to work on a product or support a company that they know is enabling criminal behavior while also refusing to do anything to curtail that illegal behavior.

I already gave one example of something they could do to help curtail illegal behavior without requiring an invasion of privacy. Some people also don't want to support a company that they know is enabling surveillance, which is what Apple is doing here.

> They are trying to do the scanning in a way that is invades privacy the least.

A violation of your right to privacy is a violation no matter how small you might think it is. They don't need to invade our privacy at all.

> It changes the equation because it allows for everything leaving the device to be E2EE. One example is that this would stop anyone at Apple from snooping on your files. If the scanning was done on the server, Apple would need decrypted versions of the files which could be viewed by Apple employees.

Everything leaving the device isn't E2EE and this doesn't "allow" for everything leaving the device to be E2EE. Stop pushing this false dichotomy. Things can be E2EE without any invasion of privacy whatsoever and there are other options to help combat CSAM that aren't violations of a user's privacy. Stop pretending like this is the only option when it's clearly not.

Thank you. I love this question because it is a critical kpi for us, naturally. First, I would like to acknowledge that there is much debate in the edu academic community on the best way to measure reading improvements. The most popular is Lexile level. However, this method has also received a lot of growing criticism in academic circles.

At Litnerd, today we measure learning outcomes in a few ways:

1) Increasing reading time amongst students.
We measure time spent reading per student and have seen 63% increase here so far. Albeit our measuring methods still need improvement. I want to just ensure I communicate that a big value prop for teachers is that our program encourages structured reading habits. This is why time spent reading matters.

2) Increasing comprehension.
Here we measure outcomes based on quizzes and lesson plans that are part of our course. I don't like this as the primary means but schools do measure learning outcomes based on testing per so and we adopt this method for now though intend on adding more ways to creatively measure this.

3) Engagement in the classroom!
All of our live stream sessions are recorded and we actively measure how engaged students are in the class, if they are raising their hand to participate, are they having fun with the actors or is it boring etc.

Ultimately we need more than 4-5 months to be able to credibly report back on Lexile level improvement amongst students. But in the next 12 months we should have enough data to confidently report back on this metric directly!

And how do you propose that all of these evil regimes are going to get their images into the NCMEC database? The hash DB will only include photos that are in NCMEC and a second countries’ CSAM database.

And it will be trivial to verify that the hash DB is consistent across different countries.

That it's not necessary to put everything into one namespace is also demonstrable.

In terms of C compatibility, C++ still has different namspaces for goto labels, macros and structure members.

In C++, every class scope is a namespace (whereby if there is an ambiguity or clash, we can use the class name together with the scope resolution operator to qualify a name). If that's not enough, there is the namespace keyword.

All programming factions agonize over something. C programmers agonize over, do I always have to make macros in ALL CAPS or not? Should the leftmost argument always be the destination? Intrusive container, or void * pointer to data? uint32_t here, or just int will do?
