The outliers are pretty tough to get significant data for. Also my sense is startups tend to pay towards the 50-75th percentile of radford (read: not great) cash comp and balance with equity lotto tickets that the author values at zero. While startup equity is obviously not worth nothing, he is correct in noting it’s quite tricky to negotiate since there’s an inherent information asymmetry there as well.

Because Serde is a common API for pretty much all serialisation formats supported in Rust, it's very easy to try multiple formats to choose the best size/speed you need. JSON too big? You can make it CBOR or Msgpack with a couple of lines. Want faster? Call bincode instead.

I am not suggesting you should need a background check to vote.

All I am saying is we have a good idea that the person with a CCL is that person and they are not a felon (in some states felons cannot vote).

Anybody can go to a community college including a noncitizen. There is no background check and no real verification the person is who they say they are. You just show up and have your picture taken.

If you are going to trust one of these forms of IDs it is clear that it should be the CCL.
I don't think anyone will want to avoid hyper, tbh, that's a lot of work to hand-roll instead. so you better advertise the issue there instead, and if they refuse to do anything about it then make a big stink downstream.

Continental Gatorskin brand tires have worked really well in my experience, easily many thousands of miles. They usually age out (2 years or so) before I've had any flat. I have had snakebite flats though which is usually just due to low air pressure or bad tubes. Tubes can just suck. I've combined them with puncture resistant tubes (thicker tubes) and never had a flat, using 700x25 or 700x28 versions.

The problem is dharma transmission.

The Buddha speaks with immense authority, being the first person to achieve enlightenment and provide instruction in such a codified and disciplined way, that is simultaneously accessible to householders and monks alike. Its deviation from Vedic thought was in how it penetrated through much of the sectarianism of Hinduism, in both caste and cult.

But regardless of how clear-minded the Buddha was, or how concise his teachings, due to the first-person nature of enlightenment it will always be necessary to maintain traditions that produce skilled practitioners that also achieve enlightenment, then pass those same skills generation after generation in a highly replicable way. As there are many experiences which can be confused with enlightenment, this need for strict transmission becomes more necessary.

Your mistake is assuming that "Jewish Buddhism" or whatever is Buddhism. It deviates sufficiently enough from Buddhism in thought and lineage that to conflate the two is simply confused.
Are you certain you'll have a smaller footprint? By all my calculation, I can't have less an impact on climate/biodiversity than by living in a flat in a city.

Our expected usage for the current version of OtterTune is that you will enable tuning and then let the ML algorithms figure out your workload patterns. The models will then converge with an optimal config and then you switch it back into monitoring mode. How long this takes depends on your workload patterns.

We are working on the ability for OtterTune to alert you during monitoring mode when it thinks your workload/database have changed enough that it merits turning the tuning mode back on. We could also have it show the recommendations when this occurs as you suggest.

For the OpenBSD curious:

This release only includes changes related to SNMP, which I imagine are irrelevant to most people, though probably exciting for a subset of OpenBSD users. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade70.html

The upgrade guide for 6.9 gives a better flavor for how OpenBSD handles and documents subsystem and configuration changes: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade69.html

Notice how succinct and consistent (across decades!) are the upgrade guides. The above have the same basic format and content as this one from 2004: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade35.html I've been doing remote upgrades of OpenBSD and Linux (mostly Debian, but also occasionally Red Hat derivatives) for over 20 years. While I've fortunately only rarely encountered significant problems with any of them, OpenBSD upgrades are the only ones where I can have any confidence in understanding and tracking how the system evolves across upgrades. Follow the upgrade guide and delete outdated files (much easier since sysclean(8)), and a 10-year-old OpenBSD box can have a filesystem as pristine as a freshly installed system.

I'm not one of those people who wants pristine for the sake of pristine. But pristine is important when you care about security, and maintenance burden is a huge component of security, as are simplicity and transparency.
You have confirmation that internal account numbers were leaked in the capital one breach?
The only downside is compile time bloat.

Serde generates heaps and heaps of generic code. This all gets optimized away to be very efficient, but only once it reaches LLVM.

Ever tried working on a crate with hundreds or thousands of de/serializable types? Compile times shoot through the roof really quickly, and serde is often the culprit.

The maintainer of serde also created `miniserde` [1] to tackle this problem, which uses dynamic dispatch instead of generics and can have 4x compile time improvements.

Due to Rusts lack of orphan instances you really depend on a pervasive standard for serialization, though, so the ecosystem is pretty locked in to serde.

Because of the way Rust's async works, you can put a timeout on anything (e.g. you don't need your http parser support timeouts, you can kill it at any await point). So it's only a matter of choosing timeout policy for your app. One person's DoS attack is another person's long polling API.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Serde, which doesn't have a network component. For Serde you'd typically buffer the input first, or use external framing (like line-oriented JSON).
Is that the case for all distros? For Arch I see only libEGL/libGLESv2 are bundled, every other library is an external dependancy: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/chromium/
It was a patronizing lecture. The followup with more patronizing clarified the non-helpful intent.
If you want a field to be able to be not-set, you just need to specify that by making it an `Option<_>` type. So like, if the field is a number, make it an `Option<u64>` -- that way you can distinguish between not-set (`None`) and set to zero (`Some(0)`).

Edit: whoops, misread which language it was you were frustrated with. Nevermind!
> Countries that eschew genetic modification of foodstocks will see famine in the next century

Even if we were to agree that GM crops help with that (which is debatable), I don't see how there'd be any "famine" seeing that they can change policy anytime in the future if they see problematic trends, and do the same thing they do with drugs - ignore US patents and start making their own GM seeds.

Note as well that I'm not against genetic engineering per se, and I do not believe the consumption of most GM foods is harmful to one's health. But the way GE is currently done, the problems of monoculture and security of the food supply are very, very real, for the same reason why we only have the shitty varieties of bananas now - the better kind got wiped out by disease.

It doesn't have to be this way. There's nothing preventing Big Agriculture from introducing more diverse seed varieties. It's just less profitable than making monocultures that can be wiped out by a single strain of a single disease.

There's a huge difference between early stage and mid-late stage private companies. For the latter, you are almost always getting RSUs rather than options, so you don't have to pay taxes out of pocket to exercise them. It's also wrong to automatically consider all stock grants to be worth $0 just because you can't immediately sell them. If Stripe or Databricks offers you a million dollars worth of shares today it'll be foolish to say no.

For me is that pratically every time, if compile, it works.

It's really easy to express a domain (with discriminated union and type) and the defaults (immutability, option, removal of boilerplate, high order function to manipulate data, structural comparison not reference) allow me to write correct code, who is readable without too much friction.

Ok but aren't the expectations for a Staff+ way higher at FAANG than at non-FAANG? Or we assume Chris already got the offer from FAANG for a Staff+ role and so it's just a personal choice? Those articles and discussions about salary always assume everybody is able to work at FAANG, or that a title at non-FAANG automatically transfers to the same title at FAANG.

I am not talking about data oriented programming. With or without that sort of memory layout optimization, ECS "component" still refers to un-abstracted chunks of concrete data rather than interfaces/protocols/etc.

Let's step back even further and consider Unity's pre-DOTS "entities" and "components." These do not take the data oriented approach, are not typically even classified as ECS (e.g. because they lack the System aspect of that design). However, the components are clearly chunks of concrete data (transforms, meshes, rendering parameters, rigid bodies, etc.) rather than interfaces/protocols.

This is the sense in which ECS means "component." That book is not relevant to this sense.
> Out of interest, what do you beleive in?

not very much, that is to say I'm skeptical of metaphysics altogether. I'm partial to Wittgenstein's attitude, that is to say I think projects like pantheism deflate if you scrutinize them and inquire to what degree they say anything meaningful or well-defined about the world, or if they're really expressions of psychology or linguistics or desire.

I do agree with you that all kinds of belief systems may fulfill legitimate needs, but I think they're just that, personal, subjective and private expressions of the individual's attitude towards the world, not meaningful claims about the world as such.
I know you’re giving helpful advice, but the author is talking (complaining) about Golang, which has no option typing (unless you want to use a pointer).
Ah, I’ve worked with a lot of people who didn’t hit it big with stock options and suffered ruinous tax liabilities in some cases.. Zero is probably too little, but if you’re being paid way under-market in cash and having to dip into that to exercise options and pay taxes, zero might actually be a good middle ground between the best and worst cases
Other airlines were disrupted, but not to the same level, due to different level of dependance on said stop. The second most affected airline IIRC had Jacksonville as minor stop, and out of all impacted, only Southwest used what they call "line flow" flight planning. Which results in Southwest being the only one to end up with stuck planes that were supposed to service a many routes way further away.

Most low-cost airlines operate on a sort of "distributed hub-and-spoke" (many small hubs instead of one/few big ones), with plane going bidirectionally on a route to non-hub airport before any route switching happens. This means that so long as the "hub" isn't severely impacted your disruption is somewhat contained and you still have access to a fleet of planes&crews that can be reassigned.
A pattern like this:

H->A->H->B->H->C->H ;; H = "Hub"; A,B,C - spoke airports

Disruption at A,B, or C doesn't block unrelated flights, only disruption at H.

Southwest instead flies like this

A->B->C->D->E->F->G

If B is in any way blocked, flights B->C, C->D, D->E, E->F, and F->G are all going to be disrupted, possibly without replacements plane/crew combinations available. If the disrupted airport has a lot of overlapping "lines" like that, the disruption quickly turns catastrophical.

Also, appears that at least some approaches were manually vectored recently at KJAX, which isn't fun if there's a shortage of controllers.

> All I had to do was look somewhere other than where you were pointing, and I did that.

The way you phrase this makes it seem like accessing the documents was a mistake. Maybe the first one was, but I think the thing you are missing about the OP's story is that the behavior was repeated. I think the first instance was arguably okay. But subsequent access with the knowledge that what they were accessing was not intended for them is in my eyes beyond a mere misunderstanding.

You also have to remember that having physical or digital access to a thing is not the same as having permission to view the thing. For example, if a "Top Secret" document is delivered to your house with your name and address attached to it, if you read it without the appropriate clearance you will still be in trouble. The legality of such a thing is well established in that case, but the principle is the same: even though you have access to a thing and all you have to do is move your eyes in some direction to see it, the act of seeing it is still at minimum an ethical breach (why are you looking at things that you know don't belong to you?).

I guess this is the fundamental philosophical and ethical question: do you believe you are entitled to know any information as long as you have the technical ability to physically or digitally access that information? What if I have medical records on a screen in a room you are in, and all you have to do is move your eyes over to see my most personal info? Are you entitled to read that information because it's visible to you? Or do you think you owe it to others not breach their privacy even though you have the ability to do so? Would you be mad if someone violated your privacy, and then retorted with "well you should have a had implemented some better technology to prevent me from moving my eyes in that direction"? I guess in that scenario you would have to blame yourself and your technological abilities, and not the person violating your privacy.
