Running anything which depends on disk cache 'working' should not be run in a shared environment, unless your application can run arbitrarily slowly.

If I understand how it works, allocating memory to a container does not allocate memory for caching of data, and any IO done by any container can eject data from the cache, which means any IO intensive process will step on any other.
Hitler was a vegetarian atheist, ergo most vegans are Nazis? You should try to separate the idea from the mind who holds it. Calling me alt right because I've noticed that many powerful people where friendly with a convicted pedophile after his conviction does nothing to refute my argument.
I think Zuckerberg is correct if the studies rely on suicide in the UK (didn't get US numbers). The conclusion would be that Instagram doesn't have a significant effect because it is not possible to extract any effect from the data available (nevermind the numbers are falling). So "inconclusive" is staying diplomatic, they are most probably wrong.

The article mentions 13% of UK teenage users (perhaps they mean attempts, not suicides, but I just assume successful suicide) trace it back to Instagram. We cannot be talking more than maybe 10 girls here, probably less. Some of them might not be honest because they don't want to admit their reasons.

This is not a justification for a government agency that employs former social media workers that landed safely in jobs mostly in think tanks or PR roles like described in the article.

All that aside suicide numbers in the UK did increase slightly for women (data is public from 1968 - 2018), but it might still be statistical fluctuation, so don't be manipulated to believe it. Check it yourself. It is still far more for men of course.

> The fact that the company is disputing the top-line findings of its staff’s research shows just how damaging the reporting coming out of the whistleblower’s documents are

Check the numbers, the media is sadly prone to lying here.

> In revealing thousands of documents involving the work of many people at the company

These documents aren't available.

I never thought I would be inclined to defend Facebook. As I said, perhaps they have other data sources, maybe they used suicide attempts that might be a far higher number, but Instagram does not kill teenage girls. Just for the record, I really dislike Instagram.

I live in the UK, I tried to delete my PayPal account (that I never wanted to create, it came out of what I thought was a 'guest checkout' flow) and was repeatedly told I needed to provide PII that they didn't currently have in order to 'verify' my identity so they could delete it.
Indecent exposure laws tend to primarily target men. Anti-pornogrophy laws tend to primarily target women.

What conclusions can we make of a culture that have both laws that get enforced in their gender-biased ways?
I am a huge Yang supporter. I donated money to his political campaign, the first time I’ve ever done that in my life.

I was horrified that he ran for mayor. City politics is incredibly complex and it’s actually harder to navigate than other political positions. I felt he should have run for senator which would have been an easier job than mayor.

But overall I think him creating a new party is exactly what we need now.
Better this toothless, vague "human right" than any of the more basic, legitimate and critical ones from their perspective.

Some serious “James Bond island cave villain” stuff
Nobody seems to remember the time back when FaceBook forced everyone on the platform to use their real name... It was exactly the point their plan to gather data matured I believe.

This is also why many sites and apps offer verification programs as well in my understanding... Verifying a user's ID has been a practices for ages now, but it did nothing to stop the growth of disinformation because that's not what verification was for IMO.

An unregulated private company asking you for official government documentation and your real name is definitely tracking you in my opinion. Even friends commenting with your name and family associations/connections on your account can easily ID everyone.

They are not a government agency with the authority to ask people for government ID, but somehow they convinced everyone to use their real name, and it didn't stop the decay of conduct decorum on the platform, it only served to track information more accurately.

Even people who have never registered for FB are indexed by them based on tagged photos and in posts that others have made about them using their names.

They also track people based on interactions across other apps entirely not associated with FB... That's IMO why certain sites slowed and faulted mysteriously when their domain went offline.

I am willing to bet that they have a really interesting Splunk (or similar tech) dashboard they can look at and search any time they want full of analytics based on almost every human on earth.

Account privacy settings have always been a very ambiguous "shell game" with FB and other social apps, and often do not work properly, what makes anyone think a "delete account" request would ever be honored by such a company that manipulates it's user base?

I also suspect that each of the major social platforms do the same type of info gathering to varying extents as well.

This is some serious "James Bond island cave villain" stuff, and whatever congressional action comes next (if anything does) may tell us where the future is going for our privacy and personal info rights...

The only possible way people can protect themselves from being tracked and indexed by social app companies is by not sharing their data at all, by telling friends and family to not share info about them online, and by obeying all (government) laws.

Imagine a future where location tracking, where your phone is a device that you paid a lot for, but it secretly shares information with companies that you visit a specific donut shop, and in turn for that your health insurance provider has access to that information to guide them in charging you higher insurance rates, or as an excuse to deny your clam... That is only a light scenario of how your data can be unknowingly be used against you and nobody knows you're saving location data even when the setting is disabled.
Fascinating to see the focus on SQL and continuous integration, https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/stable/inthewild.html#inthewild.... DBT has really changed things in that regard. @tomhallett's YT video seems to describe using this with a pre-release build of DBT to tightly couple it to sqlfluff.
I think both are bad. Have you ever met someone who dislikes the UN but loves the WTO and IMF? I think you're arguing against a strawman with this comment
I’ve used Sony XM4s for the past year, and XM3s before that, and never noticed this. I tend to wear them for long hours, sometimes 12+ hours a day.

The worst problem I have is a bit of neck pain after waking up when sleeping with them on all night long!
For the about first month this was very noticeable to me. It's been about two years since and now I don't notice it at all.

The message and intention is inspiring and I think engineered poverty is the greatest problem with American society, creating wells of trauma and hatred that make rational governance impossible and make political oppression very simple.

There's other stuff - I strongly support a VAT and stuff like that, but the poverty>hatred pipeline is what I'm truly interested in.

Hi. Diplomat working with UN issues here. The issue at hand here is not this resolution in itself. It's the fact that opening up human rights to "new" rights sets a precedent. And that precedent will be used by other countries to shift the language on human rights in a more authoritarian direction - or dilute human rights as such.

So it's basically about using one set of issues, which in substance are hard to fight, to weaken human rights as a whole. But it could just as easily have been about something else, like the "right to development", which has been pushed by authoritarian countries for years.
The last time I had to use these it was before the pandemic. Now that I can WFH, the issue is non-existent. But I do remember the constant struggle, micro-interruptions and headaches. Glad it's gone.

Many of those companies still have a few (not always skilled) IT people with access to everything! And they sometimes make it easy for themselves by putting themselves in 2FA exception groups etc.
> "Rare" is soon if you roll the dice fast enough.

Indeed. One fun example is LHC[1], where the probability of a proton in a single bunch hitting a proton in the bunch going the opposite direction is on the order of 10^-21, yet due to huge number of protons per bunch and large number of bunches per second, it still results in ~10^9 collisions per second.

IUs are used in the UK - my prescription is given as "Colecalciferol 800unit capsules" and many supplements list it. Some only list the μg value though.
Author here. Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Indeed, "estimations" might not be the best word as you're still, in some way, estimating with the Monte Carlo approach. I thought of this differentiation because I consider the MC approach to yield a forecast, while an "estimation" is the typical term used in agile settings for "guessing how long/much work it will take.". I'll think of ways of making this distinction clearer.

As for the misused mathematical terminology I guess you're referring to "confidence intervals"? If so, I understand it also has a clear definition within statistics, but I used it in the broader sense. I'd be grateful if you could point out which terms you'd recommend replacing and what you think I could replace it for.

Thanks a lot.
One way would be to ensure everyone has their right to a decent life fulfilled (aka, get everyone housed, fed and employed in decent conditions), to reduce the incentives and motivation for people to rob and assault other people.

One of the reason for "criminal careers" is that convictions - especially those for small scale shit like fare dodging or marijuana smoking - follow people around and make it impossible for them to obtain housing and employment. Break that cycle and help people who are in prison to live a crime-free life after release, and crime numbers will drop.
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat service workers.

> 51-49 falls apart because the 51 can dictate the 49, I assume? Great, then what about having the 49 (as of total vote) having found ways to dictate the 51? That would be even more instable, wouldn't it?

I mean the issue is dictating isn't it? I think the congressional setup in America makes a lot of sense generally speaking, though it's not without faults.

> he lived in a period were conquering swaths of land was more or less seen as normal.

So do we do historical revisionism or not? When do we draw the line? Do we shame people for killing and enslaving Native Americans when that's what people did at the time? I honestly find this strangely confusing.

> The only country that really has discussions about statues is the US. And those statues came up as part of a dedicated, racist-motivated propaganda program from the loosing side decades after the war. I don't see any Napoleon statues in the UK for example, or Rommel ones in Germany.

Not sure I follow this comparison all that much. The South lost and erected statues in the southern states. It's not really all that comparable to Napoleon statues in the UK. At least not that I can see.
Yep. :(

I need to find whatever volume control is set to "imperceptibly subtle" and turn it up so I don't need the 20/20 focus of hindsight to act correctly on these sorts of cues.

The clarification is honestly appreciated.
Once you have a deep knowledge and experience applying core ideas in any language, framework,
why bother learning another new fancy implementation flavor?

If you would need to — you open docs, spend few days learning, playing with examples - and you ready to go.

I use ANC on my AirPods Pro for multiple hours a day (pretty much my default) and have never gotten a headache - so when ANC users on other brands complain about that, I have to admit I don’t know what that’s like.
This is kind of a technicality, but I guess I deserve it for posing a rhetorical question.

My point was to criticise the "launch" for two things: (A) Launching as a single person. (B) focusing on the "if I were king" manifesto paradigm, over an actual political roadmap or theory of what the party is.

Ideally, he should be sitting alongside retired senators, serious media people & such. Multiple people who could credibly run for office. Then, what are you planning to do. A theory of the party and its politics, not just a theory of policy. Otherwise what's the difference between this and "The Office of Andrew Yang?"
When I am leading teams, I also ask for a certainty score along with the estimate, then track them together with daily updates. Like all human processes it is not infallible but it allows more reliable planning. I always wish I had a tool that would include this in the estimate process. Hansoft got close but nobody uses it!
I really wish this would have become a major force.

It has a lot of great architecture that would make it a preferred platform in these "cloud", "distributed" ways.

Smack Erlang and Elxir on it and you got something.
I felt this very strong in multiple generations of the Sony headphones. I own Surface Headphones 2 and they don't cause such effect on my ears.
If I had to guess, it's because China is one of the most notoriously polluted countries that are also on the security council that will oversee this bill. While the United States and UK are pretty much guaranteed to veto, I think a lot of people are interpreting China as the swing vote here.
I don't want to require an up-to-date computing device to visit my website. I have HTTPS (with modern ciphers and protocols) for my website, but I also serve it as HTTP.

I really do appreciate the advantages of HTTPS, but I have issue with the time-bombed nature of the technology: website certificates, root certificates, and ciphers that become less secure. I do not like that old devices can essentially no longer use the web due to HTTPS.
I re-read my original comment, I have no idea how the US was inject into this actually.
It also regularly played "chicken" with flying bombers into USSR space at one point, which nearly got us preemptive strike starting WW3

You probably still can, unless the Android phone was made in the last 2-3 years. Android manufacturers are absolutely dismal when it comes to security updates, few devices get good support for the 5+ years a smartphone is actually used

Sounds like this is why we can't have nice things!

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to diplomacy. What is the drive for authoritarians? How do you negotiate with them, or otherwise limit their influence? (and is that desirable?).
We did this with FreeBSD several years ago at Netflix. We used to run heavily modified -stable kernels. Our tree was ahead of FreeBSD-current in a lot of ways (TCP, ktls, VM) but way behind in other ways. Every year or two we'd rebase to a new -stable version, and that would be months of work. Often, there would be some bug introduced upstream many months prior that took weeks to track down because there was just so much to bisect through. Because our tree was based on -stable, pushing changes upstream often involved porting them to a substantially different codebase in -current, and being unable to test the ported code at scale in production.

Since we've moved to tracking -current, we rebase every few weeks. We catch any newly introduced bugs from upstream almost immediately, since there are only a few weeks of changes, not a few years, to sort through. Its far easier to contribute code upstream. In fact, we do most development upstream and wait until the next rebase to pick our changes up (or cherry pick them if it is something urgent).

All in all, life is much, much, much better on the bleeding edge.
More probably, it's the fact that when you're presented with a constant background noise, your brain begins to filter it out. Your perception of the noise level can be very different than the actual noise level.
The EA one comes to mind, which was recent. They had access to the source of a number of games, including unreleased ones as well as the Frostbite engine if I recall correctly.

ANC earbuds (Bose QuietComfort 20) transformed motorcycle rides for me. Now I can either enjoy quiet ride, or listen and actually hear music without raising volume to 140%.
Can't figure out why no one is building ANC speakers that can be fitted to motorcycle helmets, or why are helmet manufacturers not jumping on ANC train.
I’ve got the same Sony model as the author and you do definitely know when you’ve been wearing them a long time. It’s not painful for me personally but it does sometimes feel like a relief to take them off. I got them early during lockdown and was disappointed that noise cancellation doesn’t mean silence, so my screaming kids can still get through to me. But at the same time I did have one call where my colleagues had to inform me my fire alarm was going off. Either way, I adore the headphones. I remember the delight in the early days whenever I realised there was a favourite song I’d not yet listened to on them. I’m going through that again now, having realised I can plug in a wire and listen to lossless music.

“They [mainstream scientists] believe in taking the first law of thermodynamics and applying it down to the minutest detail,” he said. “The whole thing is based on faith that energy is conserved so rigorously.”

Actually I also hope the first law of thermodynamics would be not be so strict. It really is the most annoying law of nature - imagine what we could do without it. Sadly there is no experiment or observation that points to such conclusions.
I’ve always written off ANC as “fine for others, not for me”; loud children don’t bother me, I’m not an audiophile, etc.

Then I remodeled my kitchen with a friend who had a new pair of AirPod Pros. While we were sawing countless plywood boards, I had foam in my ears, he listened to podcasts; while we were sanding for hours, he listened to music. Etc.

Now I see ANC earbuds less as a comfort thing than a tool: a flexible and pocketable solution to all kinds of things that come up (ambulances, jackhammers, overhead trains). Swiss Army knives for ears.
Before I used DNS verification, Apache had to be down for a minute so certbot could offer the appropriate URLs itself for the 20-something domains/subdomains I have a cert issued for. Maybe there's a parallelize option I missed?

I am sure there is an Apache module to short-circuit this (i.e. offer whatever verification tokens are needed on top of whatever Apache is serving otherwise), but I personally did not bother.

> And again, this is assuming you start from the premise that you must host your own thing and manage your own thing;

Sure, but that's what the premise is. "Must" is a strong word, but I'd go with "want".

And one can satisfy the "want" without the unnecessary work like HTTPS certs. No matter how minute, they are significant compared to the maintenance burden otherwise.

All I am saying is that it's a perfectly valid position OP has, and that there is more work and maintenance needed even for "automated" LetsEncrypt certs.
> Add a (small) swap. It doesn't have to be a partition: nowadays most filesystems support swap file. Just create an empty file and mark it as swap.

My experiences with swap on Linux have been similarly bad. If even brief memory pressure forces the kernel to move things to swap, the only way to revert that in any reasonable timeframe is to unmount the swap partition or to restart the machine.

Meanwhile using Windows with a swap file of twice the size of physical RAM runs smooth as butter. I have a 200GB swap file right now and no problems.
New flavors of political parties in a bought-and-paid-for kabuki theater isn't never going to work.

The problem is it's an oligarch-pluto-kleptocracy and that a popularity contest voted-on by illiterate, easy-misled, manufactured consenting citizens are going to produce competent leadership with integrity are delusions of grandeur. You get celebrity chefs, reality show narcissists, and actors who do and believe whatever their wives say.
