I agree. And also I really believe that any good software is made up of a lot of tedious and boring tasks, like editing the copies, making the QA, fixing bugs, and so on, and that these kinds of tasks are seldom done as voluntary work; what I'm trying to say is that without a company paying developers for doing this, it's difficult to have good software. Let alone to keep a service up and running 24/7.

To my knowledge, very few companies have found a way of monetizing decentralization in a sustainable and efficient way (I really hope someone proves me wrong with some replies to this comment).
Ah i see, thanks for the clarification, not using Laravel myself.
please point me to Russian criminal code or precedent where laundering money is an extremism charge instead of criminal. As far as i know laundering money is a criminal charge and the government would have no problem charging and "proving" it in the Russian "court of law" if there were any minimal sniff of it. Especially given how Navalny's and the Fund's activities were under total permanent observation - official at that at least from the moment they got designated as "foreign agent", and the government hasn't been able to dig up any, even minimal, irregularity.

>to fund his political activities

the same crap. The government couldn't bring up any irregularity here, despite having them under total microscope.
I was COO of a vpn company for several years. It’s almost impossible not to keep any ip info. We had issues with fraud and one of the best ways to prevent or limit it was to track IP address and save it for several months.

I agree PM should be more forthright in their messaging but realistically I don’t believe any company that takes payments and doesn’t track any info at all.

Thank you. This answer all the questions except the Pro-vs-Air difference.
Humanity's PRESENT has never been more certain, and yes, at present almost every human has it better than at any other time in history.

But it is dangerous to extrapolate that this means our FUTURE is so certain, especially given that we have irreversibly destroyed the environment and conditions which gave us our current prosperity.
"It is
true that profits would be higher under a regime of full employment than
they are on the average under laissez-faire; and even the rise in wage rates
resulting from the stronger bargaining power of the workers is less likely to
reduce profits than to increase prices, and thus adversely affects only the
rentier interests. But 'discipline in the factories' and 'political stability' are
more appreciated than profits by business leaders."

That is is just plain corruption. Leaders (whether in governments or businesses) would rather have power for themselves than well-being for the country. Honestly, I had a hunch that developed nations didn't have less corruption, rather, the impact of corruption has been softened. Each individual industry leader might be corrupt but given enough competing industries their power diminishes. This is why government corruption is primarily associated with oil countries (or other resources) because controlling that single industry is the same as controlling the entire country.

You can clearly see it in Germany as well. Merkel and her party have close connections with specific industries commonly associated with Germany, the most prominent examples are car manufacturing because it is an export industry and the coal industry because Germany is resource poor (coal is all we have). If you work at VW CDU is the party you vote for...

Or the collapse of Russia in the 1990s? Anyone remember that?

There is a really interesting talk on this:
https://longnow.org/seminars/02009/feb/13/social-collapse-be...
Lenin was a political opportunist and Stalin most likely faked Lenin's will to appoint himself after his death. The Bolsheviks also murdered/incarcerated plenty of leftists and disempowered the pre-existing worker coops and trade unions through centralization.

Anarchists, syndicalists and other leftists were literally building decentralized structures before the Bolsheviks swooped in and decided the public would need decades of ideological education before it could be trusted to make any decisions about their lives and "helpfully" started making the decisions for them. It doesn't help that many of the leftists outside Russia who were critical of Bolshevism were murdered by German paramilitaries and later more indirectly by the USSR while trying to fight fascism in Spain.

Saying you have a good understanding what "left" is because you were born in the USSR is like saying you have a good understanding of what pasta is because you've been eating Yum Yum noodles for a decade.

Have you read Kropotkin? Bakunin? Proudhon? Bookchin? There is a wide range of leftist thought outside the very narrow niche within Marxist-Leninist-Maoism that still uncritically defends the USSR.
ah yes, the "i only asked a question!" defense. immediately followed by "your question was dishonest!" hypocrisy. have a nice day.

It does settle the question whether a human mind is any different than a software wrt consciousness. The only question that remains is are all things pretending to be conscious actually are?
On the other hand, many things require time-consuming training and/or experience to do correctly and safely. So no-one can be expert in everything. Often it's simply better to pay someone who has the relevant expertise to do a specialised job.

That is a very interesting point.

As there are multiple approaches to address that issue (I use Dockerfile templates with loops for example, but I am not a fan of them), I was wondering if you considered different approaches too. In my experience, users like to have regular Dockerfile, as they are familiar with it. Would it be possible or make sense in your opinion to run Ansible inside the Dockerfile and keep a more standard approach to Docker image building?

Disclaimer: I am not familiar with Ansible.

You do understand that the problem isn't in the origin, but type? It doesn't matter if the mind is generated by the body, the issue is if it is reducible to it. This pertains more to ontology as in what is reality and what is is than any particularities of the empirical mechanisms of cognition and neuroscience, substance dualism has nothing to do with science and people who understand the problem know that.
This is not Russia asking, this is the Russia's ruling party which has nothing to do with the people whose vote it seeks to suppress. Given the fact in the title the vote is clear - against this specific party, for anybody who can stand against them.
> Is it the only one of its kind?

I'm not aware of any directly comparable non-DIY devices. There are a few other "electronic typewriter" devices that usually come up in these discussions, like the Alphasmart range and the Freewrite, but the DM30 checks more of my boxes.

> And is it actually that small that you can put it in your pocket?

I (a man who wears men's clothes with generally usable pockets) can fit it in a pocket, but not very comfortably. It has a footprint similar to a basic e-reader, but it's thicker, I'd guess an inch and change.

It just saves to plain text, which is perfect for me since I write in Markdown. The editor uses a (sort of ugly) monospace font and has some simple but useful navigation commands.

Protonmail does the best they can, as far as I can tell, given the legal frameworks that are in place and the modern erosion of privacy.
maybe you should have been little more creative.

People who have paid a few months in a row or have a good history you don't need to store the actual IP addresses

maybe only the number of used ipaddresses and increase your level of monitoring if the numbers hits a certain threshold

the only reason you store IP address is because of laziness. Fair enough
It frankly still is a stretch to claim that living conditions would revert to even just 1950s levels if we reduced emissions to a sustainable level. Again, most of those improvements have been in real terms. We are simply more productive.

Well, have you tried 0.5mg and lower? That was the point of the article, I think.
I love this analogy, and it's definitely a perspective to take seriously. "It's always okay, until it isn't" is something to consider, as is the idea that civilization is living on borrowed time, or borrowing from the future to pay the present.

I don't know if it's true, or if it's even something we can falsify at any moment in history, but stable civilizations have collapsed, and it's worth understanding that it could happen to ours too.

I didn't understand this statement, but it's intrigued me. What are the names for and how do they lead to tracking US-linked APT (advanced, persistent threat a.k.a state sponsored) groups and who's doing the tracking?

wikidata is an incredible powerful concept (the early success / adoption in technically savvy circles hints as much) but developing the fullness of its potential will require a lot of further work on both technical matters, content, usability and transparency / governance / acceptance by world-wide users.

abstract wikipedia and related directions are (imho obviously) mission creep, raising the bar to possibly unrealistic heights and thus creating the conditions for criticism of what is (I repeat) one of the few unambiguously good online platforms out there...

It is not easy, but the energy density of that beam will vastly exceed sunlight at any significant distance. If you are no longer concerned with getting the beamed energy through a wet atmosphere you can also use better frequencies (e.g. visible light lasers or even higher frequencies that might have better margins when it comes to conversion losses.)
Docker is open-core.
It's a fun idea, of course not practical but a creative one. Something I've done in the past with my team was to agree to never accept a PR with TODO comments that do not have an associated JIRA ticket. So you would need to have:

// TODO (AS-1234): network errors should be handled correctly here

Where AS-1234 is the JIRA id. That way you keep track of them and they are part of your planning discussions. It's simple to do, can potentially be enforced by a linter, and help your product manager understand some of the technical debt.

> 5. I try to use melatonin for sleep, but it just gives me weird dreams and makes me wake up very early

Story of my life. I just noticed because of this article that I have more weird dreams since I'm taking melatonin. Yesterday I took one and woke up at 4am after having a super weird dream.
Same here, except a 3pm cutoff has been adequate. That said, I usually have just one cup a day, and many (most?) other coffee drinkers seem to have more per day than I do. How long it stays in the body is about both how much coffee _and_ how late.

If I were a heavy enough coffee drinker, maybe I'd even have to limit myself to before 10am only, to get sleep improvements?
No it doesn’t. The major cost is not the satellite structure, it is getting up there. Low orbit costs significantly less.
Looks like they found a gear ratio of about 8 was good for their setup.

Moving up to a ratio of 10 would be best using more advanced circuitry.
re: No disk checking tool (fsck) - you didn't mention the "zpool scrub" command.

Also the IOPS of RAIDZ is, as you said, about the same as a single disk - but only for writes. For reads, it scales fairly linearly like a RAID0.

It is definitely good that you outline all these shortcomings, since people need to know what it is bad at as well as good at. However I think you are wrong that compression and checksumming are "usually not worthwhile" - surely it depends? I've found the compression to be excellent for VM disk images (unlike deduping). And the checksumming has been invaluable in large HDD arrays built with cheap consumer-grade disks. With a large enough array, the usual CRC system can sometimes fail to detect errors.
Any RAID solution that does block/bit level striping will be a “blackbox” as you describe it. That’s not a bad thing (nor is your approach) but pros and cons.

>Majority of millennials have never seen a time of economic prosperity in their lifetimes. It is the complete opposite to what their parents experienced.

This exaggerated view is unfortunately quite common. It completely ignores the crises that previous generations had to go through, from WWII and the Korean War, to Vietnam, to depopulation of rural areas, to the Oil Crisis, to massive pollution in modern cities, to the mass lay-off of industrial workers starting in the 1980s, to inflation rates of 15-20%, etc, etc.

The problem with SQL databases is that the earliest where designed before the internet became widespread.

So they have synchronized clients that do not use HTTP or JSON. You need asynchronous clients that do not consume thread context switches.

Also you always want to replicate all data in more than one location in real-time because 100% read uptime is really easy to provide, while 100% write uptime is a complex nightmare.

I made this database after using MySQL, Oracle and Postgres for 10 years (it's a 2000 line replacement for my needs that these databases filled, a very narrow subset of the features you'll find in legacy databases): http://root.rupy.se

That's not the impression that I got from the thread. Rather, the problem seems to be the aggression and utter certainty that the media assumes when it conveys it's narratives. There is no room for nuance or doubt, no impression of the other side except as racists or impressionable fools. The author's point isn't that the media shouldn't be allowed to change their minds, it's that the media should exhibit even a modicum of accountability, honesty, and humility in it's reporting.
In general, aircraft are certified to land/takeoff with tailwinds (and crosswinds, etc.) up to a certain speed. You don't want to be changing runway direction all the time, after all.

Ultimately, it's up to the crew on board to determine the landing distance required for the current conditions (including the wind—whatever direction that is!), and if they don't believe the conditions are safe they should not proceed with the landing. They can, of course, request the opposite runway, though obviously if there is frequent traffic ATC is likely to refuse unless they want to change the direction for all traffic.
Except for those where the answer is provably yes.

> Are you still using postgres?

At the moment yes.

The final decision has not been made yet, but I think the reality is we're getting tired of evaluating all these distributed databases that claim Postgres compatibility only to find its the usual clickbait marketing speak.

So the most likely outcome is we're going to stick with Postgres and give the emerging distributed tech a couple more years to pull their socks up. We're not going to go round changing all our Postgres code and schemas just to shoehorn into the limitations of a random definition of "postgres support".
Curious to hear why you left Vercel, if you don't mind elaborating.

You are both right. Leica brought compactness as early as the 1910s with 35mm film, but struggled with “long” lenses due to the natural limitation that comes with rangefinders. Then Nikon came along in the 1950s and brought us compact through-the-lens focusing for “long” lenses.

Which one did the professionals end up using? Go on and search the web for some photos of war photographers in Vietnam and see what is hanging around their necks. Spoiler, usually one or two Leica Ms and a Nikon F for the times when you need to keep your distance.
Doesn't Docker proper do that on Mac?
Yeah, they sucked, you couldn't fix your mistakes, let alone insert a sentence just before another, or, god forbid, move a whole section of your text. Plus, you only had one copy of your text, you had to retype all of it if you wanted to make a copy. And entirely retype it another time into another hardware device if you wanted to do any formatting at all.

I'm glad we have better options nowadays.

Good fitness machines though, because you better have strong fingers to type all day long with these devices.
What is scary about these days isn't that we follow some book that says the world will end, but that we can measure the world ending empirically.

> now everyone can just say, "it is what it is,"

Yes. Using the famous private platform argument here, if anything is in violation of their ToS, they can censor, deplatform, shadowban, unbank, etc whoever they want.

Whether if you are Gab using AWS, Onlyfans using the payment processors or Element on Google Play, the whole point is that it can happen to anyone. Doesn't matter if you scream, protest, throw a tantrum about it, etc. They have that right to do it.
I don't. I roughly measure the time I use on a problem, but that is mainly to not loose myself in details. But otherwise I deliver when its done

> How engaged you were - what was the APM etc

Hell no. Sometimes I reflect without typing anything for minutes. This time is essential to focus on the important parts. I also make pauses and get a coffee whenever I like.

Life isn't just work, I don't need to tune my productivity. I think my boss is happy I deliver reliably... more or less.

Context switches are deadly for productivity though, on that I agree. This is why I vastly prefer asynchronous communication. Yes, you can probably answer that mail tomorrow...

From a dashboard I expect that I can share its info with others working on a problem to sync our work. Don't know if that helps.
It certainly is a problem. We want to run local development stacks with Docker, but, since it runs as root, it leaves files into your home directory (database and other files mounted from the guest) that are owned by root, so you can never delete them.

It's really bad UX.
