The slightly inflammatory title makes more sense in the context of their database, which sits on top of PouchDB, with adapters for IndexedDB in the browser and a variety of stores on the server side.

Based on the series of blog posts / documentation opinion pieces that have been posted so far, I'm quite interested in playing around with this despite being mostly in the relational SQL camp. Everything I've read is thoughtful, well reasoned, and rather practical and the author is exploring a rather interesting problem space.

I'd love to see a mashup of RxDB[1] and absurd-sql[2] that brings a distributed SQL datastore to the browser.

"the outrage would go away"

If there's one thing I've learned it's that the outrage never goes away. The type of people who fixate on outrage in their Facebook feeds are the same type of people who decades prior would cruise around town picking fights in person. I'm unconvinced that Facebook is meaningfully changing this dynamic.

I'm also unconvinced that the filter bubble is meaningfully different than what's come before. Humans have been sorting themselves into like-minded communities since before we could read and write. Do you remember the hive-minds of the 80s and 90s? If anything they were far more extreme because of the difficulty in proving anything, back before google and wikipedia. There was a lot more extremism and hate based violence back then. A LOT, LOT more, and no interventions like Facebook is at least attempting to provide.

Facebook has some new angles on old patterns in human behavior, yes. I think the people who're trying to show that it's made things work have a lot of work to do to make a compelling case. Facebook's biggest transgression is probably that it has chronicled this behavior and has dragged it into the light.
I have no idea how to do this without opening yourself up to near-trivial cheating either, as the validation of work isn't intrinsically linked to the actual effort like current crypto coin systems rely on.

And if there's a centralized arbiter validating people's capture results, then you've just invented a centralized currency? Why have crypto at all? It sounds like carbon credits (with all it's failings) with extra steps.
Which have shown us that we are in much less danger than was originally believed yet the media and politicians keep pushing the climate catastrophist narrative. Thats the actual denial going on here.
Oh, sorry, I was not specific, it's three per year, every year, until we get to 250ppm CO2 in the atmosphere.

Having been on keto for 3 months, I don't think it's that big of a deal. It depends of course what you eat, but if you just eat "normally" with carbs left out and lots of veggies of course, in my case the end result of quite the same. Only difference is I'm losing fat at an increased rate. I can exercise as normal in the gym and so on.

And yeah, I'm using intermittent fasting too. Happens quite naturally and I guess that plus evening runs around the block really burn those calories.
You can utilize the excess electricity to gasify waste woody biomass from tree trimming, etc; store the syngas that is produced for heat production during the winter, and bury the biochar (carbon) that is left over build soil health and recapture carbon.
Given the late 1800s and early 1900s US were also very polarized, part of me wonders if the post-Cold-War world is returning to some sort of polarized state. It can feel like there are a lot of different perspectives on the way things should be, and thus there's less certainty where to go.

That said, I'm not a historian so take my shower thoughts with a teaspoon of salt.

So I wonder why HE can see some peering relationships but not others. Some of the listed peers are exactly what you'd expect (SoftLayer, Digital Ocean, Wikimedia) while others are weird (Fortinet, City of North Kansas City??).
I first saw this in a discussion of power supply efficiency. A 95% efficient supply generates ~half the heat that a 90% one does.
In a closed system, you can't reverse something by using less energy than that which went into creating it.

It would take more energy than released by fossil combustion to turn CO2 back into hydrocarbons, but not to turn them into inorganic carbonates:

With CouchDB you can do it. You create a view filters on the absence or prescense of that field. I'm not sure if that answers your question, as I don't know how other nosql databases handle indexing.
Taking uni courses later in life, it's because the educated are taught in a very long, boring, and ineffective manner. They believe that's how good education happens because that's what the "experts" do. Turns out that one Khan Academy video is a better instructor than an hour with the math professor here. Students show up just to complete the homework, then forget it, because it's not relevant. Then the uni's pile on wholey unnecessary classes so they can claim to be "elite" and "well rounded", which drains the knowledge relevant to your work even further.

Effective education will happen once we remove federal funding from universities. No more administrative cruft, no more extra general classes to pad coffers, no more relying on tenure to excuse poor quality education.
I thought the kernel was pretty stable. My first team at twitter I think we ran into 2 or 3 kernel bugs that year. I couldn't believe it but for some problems the blaming the kernel is a real debugging step (and even the bios lol). I think I had two perf problems turn into upstream patches thanks to the kernel team.

When I do competitive programming, I celebrate the "one and done" moments where my first compile and test against the samples works, and then the submission too yields Answer Correct. Even for problems I'd consider hard I can semi reliably get this. But I find it much rarer for this to happen in my work, probably because I have to work with unfamiliar, often poorly (if that) documented code. But even with well written code, I don't have the same level of internal context juggling when making changes as I do with freshly written contest code, which I think is the key difference.
That's implying he did anything relevant in the first place.
As a few folks here have already pointed out, publicly available peering information does not tell the whole story. Read https://storage.googleapis.com/fiber/peering/GoogleFiberPeer... and understand what:

Good treatment is just one part of it, my guess is that if the symptoms are treated, something else will go wrong long term.
Well, that's kind of down stream of what I was talking about - I am assuming that we can get to $250 per ton of direct carbon capture and then use something like a solar CO2 reduction system with a metal catalyst to strip the O2 off. But it's "merely a matter of money" at that point.

There's almost certainly some coking issues to overcome, but hey, we're already hypothetically taking on the largest industrial project of all time, roughly equivalent to all the effort spent to extract fossil fuels ever.
I don't like letting people bring their own teams with them. It's a shortcut to a discontinuation of culture and a form of second-order nepotism.
This really shows how far we have to go.

If you don't have a feel for the level of carbon price that's needed to make major change then $100 is a great rule of thumb.

Working in oil and gas, I know that our industry would make major changes if the global carbon price for scope 1 and 2 emissions was $100/ton. And if scope 3 emissions were included then I suspect oil and gas production would drastically decline, and probably use CCS as the norm.

The current average price put on all emissions in the world comes out at about $3.

In case you're thinking "how could a global carbon price of $100/ton possibly be affordable?" the answer is that $100 for every ton of CO2 emissions in the world is 4.3% of world GDP. And that money doesn't disappear of course, it's simply a transfer from polluters to... whoever you like.

And of course the economic benefit of not destroying the planet is nice.

Notably, one of the world's highest carbon prices is in Sweden, a location that would do just fine with a bit of global warming.
Yeah, this was weird: A major negative of Intel's offering is that the Nios V is only available for the Pro version of Intel's Quartus toolchain.

I mean people can import the VexRISCV verilog and get a faster and better chip for "free" so where does Intel think the value add is here? It is quite curious.

Now it would be interesting if they made hard-logic versions to compete with say the Cortex-M series from ARM or something but this seems like it isn't in the cards.

In both cases you would have been helped by proper error reporting and by tracing. (See OpenTelemetry)

For the first the remote server could say there is no Authorization header where tracing confirms it was there when sent by the client but not by the proxy.

For the second it would be really nice to see more detailed logging on the server side about why a particular peer certificate was rejected.
My biggest gripe with current OpenSSL and Java TLS implementations is this lack of detailed reporting.

> If you’re experiencing toxicity from “brilliant jerks” consider escalating to HR.

How do you do that when the brilliant jerk is the person who owns and runs the company, or is otherwise widely considered critical to the organization's success?

"Yeah, Barry can come off as a jerk but don't misread it. He's eccentric and between you and me, I think he's on the spectrum, but he's harmless. The investors love him and the launch of Magic X last year was a game changer for the company. At this rate we'll be going public in 2 years and it's all going to pay off. You can retire in Fiji."

> I don’t condone Steve Jobs’ style in the 2020s moving forward.

This is a different sentiment than "Why do I care?"

I wasn't even speaking specifically about Steve Jobs. The behavior we're talking about didn't just become unethical recently. Just because people have a somewhat better ability to call it out and not be buried these days doesn't mean it wasn't as despicable and unethical then as it is now, and that it wasn't known to be such a decade or three ago.
People are lazy and would rather pay out the ass for a way out of their problems than actually change. Becoming a better programmer is difficult. Spending money on CI is easy.

RHEL is not my favorite. It’s cumbersome and many times just doesn’t work with software we try and install in comparison to other distros. We started looking at NixOS and other more source code declarative featured distros. Enterprise Linux needs a lot of work.
"Potential for creating a civil war" isn't a hypothetical at all. It's already happened, social media was complicit in the violent overthrow of multiple governments, ending with 60,000 people dead. It's called the Arab Spring, and typically viewed as a positive thing.
The premise of this argument is false. In Germany, where I live, polarization has increased dramatically, especially since COVID. I don't know about Facebook, but the tone on Twitter is harsh, the hate is palpable. The difference is maybe that unlike in the States it's not a 50:50 split, but maybe 80:20.
Water has a strong absorption peak at 2450 MHz (it’s what kitchen microwaves use).
Business cards are much better than exchanging information. You can slide the card and continue talking about a topic without pausing and discussing numbers.
That seems like extremely useful wiring; it's often an uphill climb for me. Do you have any sense of what is going on under the hood? Why do you feel good if you do these things / bad if you don't? Did this come factory installed, or did things happen in your life which set this in place?

Also, do you feel this trait has made your life happy?

I happen to know two people who have a similar trait. One, I learned, did it to distract themselves from inner demons. I don't know the other well, but they seem to enjoy themselves much more than the first.
CorrelationIDs aren’t just good for hard failures. They’re also good for figuring out why your backend started getting 20% more traffic on Monday for no reason. Someone introduced a duplicate call somewhere. But where?

> But you have a DB that everyone knows. 3rd party tools work. Developer on-boarding is easy.

Not reliably. All the different DBs have subtle misbehaviours and mismatches with the tools.

> Performance is actually good and consistent.

Lol no. Indexed joins and unindexed joins look exactly the same but have vastly different performance characteristics. And even if you have a query that currently performs well, you never know when or why the query planner will change its mind.

> Your data is also consistent and respects acid principles.

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.

> With proper cashing SQL is as performant when done right and the profiling tools are better.

Caching makes your performance even more arbitrary and incomprehensible - it works great right until it doesn't. Profiling is great but it's a poor substitute for being able to reason about what the performance of your queries will be.

> Screw no-SQL. They are just Object Oriented DBs (which were a disaster in the 90s) in new clothes.

On the contrary - the problems with SQL databases are much the same as the problems with object databases.
> Seems like instead they could've created a program which verifies inability to pay fine and waves them for people who legitimately can't pay it, but maybe they're looking at some data we don't have access to.

The library would then probably have to process and store sensitive financial information on those who apply for fee waivers in order to determine who legitimately qualifies. I'd guess that the costs of doing that in an adequately secure manner would be more than the fines they would get from from the people who applied for waivers and were rejected.
> However, the issues are definitely more complex than media and politicians make it out to be.

Sure, that's true. But if Facebook is in a "gray area" (which is very debatable), then why not work for a company that isn't in one?

There are lots of companies to work for that don't have these endless debates about their ethics.

> My TikTok feed is far more risqué than my Instagram feed is.

Yeah, again, there are more than two companies to work for. It's not like anyone is so specialized in 1B+ social networks that they can only work for Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram.

It isn't even a matter of pay. There are comparable salaries at lots of companies.
There's actually a company building modern airships right now! I, for one, am excited about the prospect!

They are simple, and yet Samsung managed to come up with about 4 incompatible variants in their other SoC lines, that Linux has to support the explicitly. Apple stuck to the same one they had from the start.
There exist few talking points as odious as the myopic GDP-focused complaining about "population decreases" in developing nations and how they must be overcome by the unrestrained importing of labor.

Liberal societal goals (many of which I happen to support) include preservation of the natural environment, robust sovereignty of oppressed indigenous populations, increased availability of housing and resources, and in general an profound sense of the importance of any individual within their community. Every single one of these goals becomes easier to achieve the fewer people there are within a single geographic area, so why are these complaints about declining populations always coming from left-leaning thinkers and speakers? (I know Reuters isn't exactly left wing, but the language they're using is identical to 'progressive' politicians all over the west.)

The time immediately following the Black Death in Europe was a massive boon for the (surviving) commoner. When people talk about declining populations in Western countries, I imagine razing the unsustainable, disgusting post-war boomtowns, layering farmland and forest over their remains, and pushing a philosophy of local self-reliance born out of community solidarity. It is truly unnerving to see so many publications talk about this issue and imply that the only hope for any nation with a declining population is to bring in as much supplementary labor as possible. I can only hope the people of Singapore are happy with whatever their economic leaders have decided is best for them.
This is a peer reviewed article right? So presumably at least a couple other people in the field were satisfied with their methods. Are you suggesting they were wrong to accept this article?

Make sure each datastore has a clear owner, and access it via that API rather than directly. If you really must share a datastore, use a schema registry. Sharing between multiple applications doesn't really work for SQL database either (e.g. if you have multiple applications writing to your database in transactions then you're virtually guaranteed to get deadlocks).
I read a piece somewhere that really stuck with me. I can't find it again, but the idea was that for complex systems, logging discrete events makes little sense. It's not sensible to operate complex systems by discrete events, in part because there are so many things happening, but also because it might be hard to figure out what nth-order effects events have.

Instead, to figure out how well a complex system is running, you need to monitor continuous values. Things like flow volume across boundaries, level or volume in buffers or storage, composition of things as fractions of the whole, and so on.

Other industries (nuclear, aeronautics, oil and gas, electricity) know this already, but us software engineers have been slow to pick it up.

That resonates entirely with me, but I still have trouble putting it into practise. Does anyone have references to stuff written about this?
> the interview prep, grinding leetcode, etc. they might have to go

In my experience, once you have Facebook engineering on your resume, you don't have to do much interview prep and you certainly don't need to "grind leetcode".

It's declined a bit recently, but for years, just having "ex-Facebook engineer" was enough to raise money as a CTO of a startup, even if the person just had a few years of experience out of college.
Where are they implanting it in her trial? There's a big and somewhat raucous debate on 5 different (brain) targets so far, but imaging/tractography has come a long way since they started doing it.

They are downvoted for the reason I just stated. Why would you upvote someone you believe is opposed to your entire existence based on what political party they associated with?
"Should" isn't always a great word when it comes to real world economics. I agree with you in theory, but realistically one would need to subsidize these crops: the market isn't equipped for the entire American Midwest (for instance) to suddenly begin growing beans, potatoes, and other staple crops at the frequency that they were raising beef cattle.

It's a deep hole we're in, and its going to take considerable effort and a lengthy process to dig ourselves out.
It's worth noting that the MDCP29xx has its own DCP endpoint and proxy driver, so it likely implements its own DDC channel that way. Obviously, DCP itself needs to get the EDID one way or another. We'll see once we start looking into those add-on endpoints :)
