When facebook is directly peering to so many other ASes, why would they not have static routes in place for those direct links? Why run BGP for that? It's not like there is going to be a better route than the direct link. If the link goes down, then you can rely on BGP to reroute.

> Only because you drop data on the floor if it's inconsistent, which is rarely a good enough solution in the real world. E.g. someone tries to add a customer but the city has been deleted in the meantime -> they get an error, and the system throws away everything they input about the new customer. You end up having to implement your own dead letter queues etc. and do all the work you would with a NoSQL datastore.

What. Who's letting people delete random shit out of the DB? Why is the origin of this data not validating against the actual data from the DB before sending data?

"Hey we have to ensure that customers are selecting valid cities.

We have a list of cities in the DB. Let's ensure we cache the cities in the api server so that we're not hitting the DB for every page load for data that will very rarely, if ever, change.

Especially since we revoked Dave's DELETE permissions after that last time he deleted stuff from a production database."
Obviously planted whistleblower is obvious.

I'm a farmer in Hawaii and I'm happy to tell you the climate here (Hilo, Big Island) is fucking great. I can't speak for the rest of the islands, but here in Hilo the weather is spectacular for farming. Consistent year round rainfall, mild temperature ranges (for the tropics), trade winds keeping it breezy during the day, high soil water retention and strong immunity to hurricanes. I'm not trying to shoot down any climate change fears, I just want to tell you that right now, where I am, I see nothing to give me pause about making a long term commitment to this place. Since I am planting thousands of trees that take decades to mature, my money is firmly where my mouth is.

I would hate for articles like this to discourage people from coming here to farm. We need more farmers in Hawaii! There is so much abandoned farmland from the sugarcane era, and meanwhile everyone's eating food that arrives by plane and boat. It's a bizarre situation.
In the city I live, people couldn't even be convinced to wear a cloth mask for basically any reason, and people picketed an elementary school because the district implemented a mask recommendation.

I can imagine your scenario, it's an interesting enough thought for some dystopian fiction, but I don't think the clear one-to-one analogy between an infectious disease and crippling depression work in any way at all. In the COVID case, it's an infectious disease with some possible long-term damage, high rate of infection, relatively moderate risk of death, and a scramble to try to contain or slow the spread. I don't see how any of that can be compared to depression, a non-contagious disorder that very often destroys all quality of life in the sufferers.

Honestly, I don't see any gain in this incredible pessimism. A brain implant seems to have some potential to allow some people to have hope in successfully living a life that isn't controlled by a cloud of grey, and the first worry is in a dystopian government using it to brain control the public, because there is a pattern of behavior in how governments desperately tried to control a pandemic in the past?

How often do we get to write green fields ground up code? Of course when doing that we try to architect stuff with no bugs. 80% of the job is refactoring old code, updating code that many other files depend on, updating/replacing dependencies and more. It is great advice if you just write C code in a silo, but the complexity of a modern app is beyond just re-reading stuff.
Yep. Udemy is just a different game and if you don't play their game, you're gonna have a bad time. Same story with YouTube.

I do think Udemy is an easier path to meaningful revenue (courses are tedious and less glamorous so less competition) than YouTube, whereas YouTube has much higher potential upside. People can spend years grinding on YouTube before ever making anything meaningful, whereas most instructors who take Udemy seriously can get there within a year. It took me 9 months to get to about $4k a month recurring earnings, for example
Hard to say frankly. Some of it is learned, some pre wired. When I was about 11, and at a friends house, his Dad came home in a rage and started beating him. I intervened, stood up to him (despite him being 2+ ft taller and about 120 lbs bigger than I was at the time and in a raging fury), and made him back down. I remember calculating the odds at the time he would snap and kill me vs back off at the time, and toeing the line I know I would likely get away with to protect my friend. I also remember looking directly into his eyes with cold fury as he raged. My friends Mom talked to my Mom afterwards because she was worried I would get myself killed. My mom made sure to let them know if the father ever did anything like that again, the Sheriff’s would be visiting and not in a friendly way. Both of us have always been that way.

I wouldn’t describe my life as easy - but it has been easier than a great many, and the traumas I’ve been exposed to I’ve handled better than most near as I can tell from this, and haven’t been made worse by it. I haven’t ever really enjoyed easy for the sake of easy?

If and when I feel that I pushed and did what I could, as hard as I could, that feels, at worst, ok. Usually even good? If I made a difference, did something I did not know or others did not know was possible, or helped someone in need and made a difference - that is even better. It is often hard to know the results of ones actions, but I do the best I can. Sometimes, you’re not allowed to know. During my EMT clinical rotations, I held the hand of and calmed an older man with obstructive stroke as they attempted to (and failed) to stent him, as I was the only one with the right type of blood pressure measuring equipment, and I wonder sometimes how he did. He was very scared, and rightfully so - but we aren’t allowed to follow up. His story is one of many I’d like to know, but never will.

When I don’t do the best I can, it feels like I’m wasting my limited time here, and that feels terrible, because I know often what could be. The further I diverge, or even worse, if I don’t live my values - being honest, working hard to make the right thing happen for everyone, learning and pushing myself to grow, facing harder truths or working to improve from mistakes or weaknesses I’ve discovered - the more it bothers me - at first, like a mosquito in the back of my mind, then like a knife in the gut if I refuse to listen.

When I live in line with my values, take care of what is important to me, that is - the right thing. It feels good. Even if it is brutally or emotionally hard work, it feels right, I sleep well, and I’m ready to go the next day.

Avoidance and denial is what hurts.

Surely you're not implying that population reduction due to a lower birth-rate is as traumatic as living through the Black Death, just because the GP unfortunately used it as an example?

As for Malthusianism - it seems to me the GP is correct in pointing out ecological stress is proportional to human population size, and that the ecosystem is in crisis. Were you hoping we would overlook this fact by calling it "Malthusianism"?

Advocate for more efficient land use requiring less transportation, heating, and cooling.

Honestly, if a brain implant was proven to be as safe as vaccination, and could get me to be happy while working 3 jobs in a mine and eating bugs. I probably would sign up.

Also, pretending this whole argument isn't a pathos charged slippery slope analogy. Why would I go bars, restaurants, etc if there was a risk I could expose others to depression. Which I must assume is somehow contagious now, and somewhat fatal? Seems awfully inhumane and immoral to subject people to this new somewhat lethal contagious depression.

More generally though, why is it highly concerning? Are you afraid of hypotheticals? Or does that just feel like what you have to say to rationalize your existing fears about the ongoing pandemic, and societies unmeasured response?
With a database I generally want to have it on its own dedicated host with fast NVME drives, memory, cpu etc, maybe some OS specific system level configuration options for performance etc. I don't want to binpack it on a cluster of nodes each contending for system resources. Also RDBMS databases are not really designed to be ephemeral/elastic, they are stateful/persistent by nature.

What does Kubernetes offer in this scenario?

I'm still hesitant to run things like DB's on K8's but have absolutely no problems running cloud native apps on K8's which can run ephemerally, be bin packed and only needing compute as all state is external to where the app is being executed.

I’m a big fan of the Donald Reinertsen approach: measure queue length.

Simply track the time to complete each task in the team queue on average, then multiply that by the number of tasks remaining in the queue.

Each team will habitually slice things into sizes they feel are appropriate. Rather than investing time to try and fail at accurately estimating each one, simply update your average every time a task is complete.

The bonus with this approach is that the sheer number of tasks in the queue will give you a leading indicator, rather than trailing indicators like velocity or cycle time.

Man, you are just a firehose of misinformation. It's really impressive.

I started on Udemy with 0 people in my audience, and I still have 0 people outside of my Udemy audience. I don't do any marketing or drive any external traffic.

When you launch your course, you have a 30 - 90 window that you get scrutinized on. The biggest metrics the system is looking for are thumbnail CTR, enrollment rate (%), total minutes watched, and average rating. For most courses, the system doesn't need a lot of time to figure out that your course is not better than ones it already has (fewer people click it, fewer people are compelled to buy it, the ones that do watch less, and then fewer people feel compelled to rate it).

No, they do NOT heavily favor people who drive their own audience, that makes no sense. They sell their courses for $10-20, so no one in their right mind is sending large amounts of hard earned email traffic to such a low ticket sale. You can literally go into the Marketplace Insights tool and see where they list the % of sales from "Instructor Promotions". It's rarely ever over 5% of total sales and most of that is from internal promotion emails to your other course students. One thing they DO favor is instructors who have multiple courses, because they know that your pool of students is more likely to buy other material from you so its an easier sell for them (remember, they spend $ to acquire the student and they do not breakeven if the student only buys 1 course).

Talk to any successful Udemy instructor and they'll tell you that no they do not drive their own traffic. If they could drive that much traffic, they would make their course independently, charge a lot more, and make way more money.
You make it sound like there isn't a real downside to closing all your programs and rebooting.

> Their point about how you can just rewrite relational queries manually and not lose any performance does not seem true the moment that you need to join tables on a condition.

You can do the same thing a database would do - filter the first results on that condition before firing off the second query, or do the join "backwards" if you think that's going to be better / there's an index available for that.

> Their section on reliable replications can be resolved by keeping a log of the changes made to the database rather than a log of the queries.

You'd need to define a representation of that log, which ends up being equivalent to writing a NoSQL datastore.

> I don't understand how their NoSql model of "Download the latest doc during a change" is any better. It basically becomes "last writer wins" in a distributed system.

You at least get consistency. And NoSQL gives you the option of building something better like e.g. Riak does.

> The downgrading to NoSql argument makes little sense to me as well. If your frontend is sqlite then you can have Postgres, or MariaDb in your backend. You need to account for having different queries on the front and the back, but the backend is presumably also operating under very different constraints than the frontend.

This is kind of the same as the log replication problem - you want the protocol for what's replicated from frontend to backend to be something simple that you could implement on top of approximately any backend datastore. "SQL queries" aren't that, whereas a simple K/V store protocol could be (e.g. MySQL actually implements the memcached query protocol, or did at one point - that would be very hard to do the other way around).

> I'd actually make an argument that NoSql databases are a type of relational database heavily optimized towards not needing to do joins

Um, WTF? Can you flesh this out at all?

I’ve had one meal a day for years. We just eat around 7p and I have a milky, unsweetened coffee in the mornings. After a while you don’t even feel the urge to eat lunch anymore so there’s no chance of “falling of the wagon” as another GP has mentioned.
Think of the systems!
There's already plenty of people working only 4 days per week, lots of times they do keep a low profile though.

The more workers who do start performing the shorter weeks, the more of the remaining workers will have to work more days per week than they are doing now.

As it stands your odds of pulling it off individually are probably better than waiting to see if it becomes adopted by the mainstream.

So there is probably widespread inertia in favor of the status quo.
For big categories, less than 5% of total sales comes from search traffic so if they're primary concern is ranking in search they've already missed the point.

The vast majority of sales are from their personalized recommendation widgets and email blasts. No SEO optimization needed for that.
