Manager One: Um, NO... this position for development in cloud. The posting keeps referring to "my butt"

Manager Two: Naturally.

No, because it's batshit stupid to involve large numbers of people in a conspiracy because the probability of a leak rapidly approaches 100% and your ability to track down the leak rapidly vanishes. Much safer to get a single operator inside the election administration -- "finding" and "losing" ballots, printing bad ballots that "accidentally" leave a candidate off, etc.
You can't use the same aperture. The SLR has to be at a smaller aperture so the diameter of the lens is the same. That way both will gather the same amount of light and have the same amount of bokeh.

That's your issue - you need to use equivalent apertures.

Kudos to GitLab for boldly and successfully going where (almost) no company has gone before - to having a worldwide, distributed workforce. Truly the way of the future, and (IMO) better quality of life for employees once they get used to working remote and stop fighting it. I've been working primarily remote for the past 3 years, and my QOL has never been better. No commute, working hours can be when I feel productive (which tends to be in the evening), and if I'm tired nobody will look at me funny if I take a nap, except maybe my cat.

Most importantly, this forces folks into asynchronous and written communication, which both makes my work less interrupt driven, and reduces reliance on institutional knowledge. I think we're yet to fully realize the benefits of this brave new world. And yes, I'm aware that some folks need water cooler conversations. I don't though.

Sid, if you're reading this, do please write a book on how you did it, so others could replicate your success in terms of geographic distribution. Knowing the legal / accounting / tax pitfalls, and how to avoid getting screwed when hiring abroad would be pretty invaluable to others.
Don't a lot of countries in Europe make salary info completely public? Seems like it should make creating aggregates even easier.
Eh. This seems like a very "Load State" kind of way of looking at things. That doesn't preclude a kind of higher-order logic which generated this state, and from within the state, there would be no way to tell. So time isn't stored sequentially, so what? The illusion of continuous subjective experience is tantamount to it.
We have deployed OtterTune for on-prem databases (baremetal, containers). But we are not offering that to everyone right now because organizations manage their configurations for these deployments in a bunch of different ways (Github actions, Chef/Puppet, Terraform). The nice thing about RDS is that they have a single API for updating configurations (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_...).

As for the Postgres-derivates that you mentioned (Timescale, Citus), we have not tested OtterTune for them yet. But there is no reason they shouldn't also work because they expose the same metrics API (pg_stat_database) and config knobs. There are just way more people using Postgres (RDS, Aurora), so we are focusing on them right now.

At https://story.ai we're using Shipyard ECS to model the data behind the structured editing experience. Although at first I was suspicious, I've come to realise it's an extremely elegant way to handle our complexity.

when there is a new stripe charge
send a slack message

It's very nice to attach something like a "ScopeContext" component to each Entity that has a "TokenLine" component, that is a Vec of EntityIds that are sharing values into scope. Very easy to model and add without interfering with other data structures.

The freedom of the press isn’t about cast, but it is about context.

Those really only cover giant tech co's though. Clearly it would be better and more accurate to get real data points, but I think the approach the article describes works well if there isn't a bunch of public data for a company already.
I had rotated a lot "pre-ubuntu" trying to discover a distribution that works a decade+ before. It was always trying to get the video card (at high res) and wifi dongle to work.

Ubuntu just worked out of the box and I was very happy with that. So. Cool. The magic was also the boot live install that also worked. It really was magical.

I am using Ubuntu on desktop and a mac via VM now which is also good performance (no need to dual boot), so I think tech in general has come a long way.

===

Thought someone might be able to help here with something on my mind:
1) smooth mousepad scroll?
2) able to utilize multiple "desktops" (ie: swipe to different desktop). the mac seems to captures the vm as a single application so I can't get multiple desktops other than within the guest vm on a single screen.
> VR headsets all the time

I love VR headsets, but that's not going to happen - for so many reasons - I want to get up and get a coffee, I often read while half watching TV, or sit and chat with the family while watching TV and so on, fold the laundry with the TV on and so on. You can't do anything else when wearing a VR headset.

The trick with Serde is that it decodes straight into a native Rust struct. You get most of validation for free (it also nicely takes advantage of Rust enums with data), and struct access is maximally fast.

A generic JSON decoder would give you a dynamic structure that can contain anything, and then you'd have to pick it apart.
I just came from rust to go and… what a disappointment.

Missing fields default to some kind of default “zero value” - for any type, even full blown structs. You can’t tell the difference of a missing field or the field having the default value.

So if a field has a validation of “must be greater than zero”, you can’t really give a proper error message. If user puts in “0” or omits the field, you always get a value of “0”.
Right. The server is not liable. The people who set up the server to serve application data for every client to any client is.

> Presumably not on mainline kernel.

At first it was necessary to compile the realtime-lsm module to allow user programs to make use of realtime scheduling. In late 2006 or so (IIRC) rlimits-aware PAM became available which made realtime-lsm redundant.

I've used CONFIG_PREEMPT=y (along with CONFIG_HZ=1000) when compiling mainline kernels all along. My current distro of choice (Void) enables these by default in their 5.4 series kernels. I've never needed PREEMPT_RT for my particular use case.

AFAIK FreeBSD still doesn't allow users to run programs with realtime scheduling privileges (SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR), only root.

That is the case I was thinking of, but I went back to check my memory and it was not a gray area. They had a signed contract from the Iowa Judicial Branch and its Information Security Officer that specified gaining physical access to the building. Source:

They did fail to verify that law enforcement was aware (the client specifically asked them not to) and they seem to have misunderstood the building's ownership structure. The end result was that they fulfilled their contract and were arrested for it after encountering one idiot with power, after which the local politicians piled on in order not to look weak.

Huh? Subjective experience is about whether the machine experiences the power-on-self-test, not about what it emits externally. Animals, machines or even rocks might all be conscious, but we simply don't know because it's impossible to ascertain through external means.

>What's incomprehensible is the baseless belief that consciousness is some special state of existence unique to balding, violent apes floating around a wet rock, anthropomorphizing all the crap around them just to make themselves feel special.

Likewise, apropos storage systems that handle logical volume management, Linux's LVM tools are extremely reminiscent of those from HP-UX[0], and NetBSD's LVM guide explicitly calls out their tooling being built from Linux's lvm2tools[1].

> It is highly extensible through plugins, mostly written in Python, though, unfortunately, lower layer operations are only exposed in C++.

Other than cycles all the plugins are written in python—there is a C++ api generated at the same time as the python one but afaict only cycles uses it. Haven’t done any blender stuff in quite a while so I could be (hope I’m) wrong.

Though, with a little gumption, it isn’t all that hard to expose the underlying functionality to python if nobody has gotten around to it yet. Most of my contributions were of that nature (honestly there were some big gaps and a lot of low lying fruit back then).

Interesting(?) side note: the original pie menu script was written because my laptop didn’t have a numpad and changing views is a PITA without one. People ran with it and it became really popular so they built pie menus into blender proper.
Some of this feels out of date. I've used a fair amount of what seems like obscure peripherals and they've all worked fine for at least a few years. That definitely was not the case in 2008 and desktop Linux was legitimately hell at times back then.

As far as relocatable installs, this is entirely a choice on the part of distro maintainers and a consequence of how the packages are built. They can be built in a way that allows you to put them elsewhere, but it would defeat the purpose of having a package manager. Which makes me wonder, does winget support relocatable installs? I'm sure you can at least understand why Linux distros have chosen to do packaging this way. The killer app for Linux is server installs. It might be perfectly fine to allow users to move around software they've installed after first installing it on a single-user home PC, but it destroys the possibility of automation. A package manager can't know where the software is if it's constantly moving, meaning it can't upgrade or remove it without significant user interaction, which can't possibly scale to data centers full of servers. Different needs for different markets, unfortunately, but to me, even at home, this is an advantage of Linux, because I have many devices.

I guess not being choose between hundreds of media viewers might matter if you're actually a professional media editor or creator, but very people are that. Granted, any professional use of a computer other than making software is going to benefit from Windows. Professional software just targets Windows. That's on the creators of those packages, not the system itself. Whether it's CAD, media editors, the Adobe suite, software teams that charge for use don't like Linux. But they don't like it because people aren't using it. It's a chicken and egg problem.

I'm not sure I actually agree with the ease of adding and moving Windows software, though. One of the big problems is it's often impossible to completely uninstall something. Applications quite frequently drop files all over the place that Windows Installer doesn't know about if it wasn't registered upon installation, and it's even worse if your "installation" doesn't use Windows installer at all and it just you copying an executable file somewhere. Did it leave data in %PROFILE%/LocalLow/AppData, %PROFILE%/Local/AppData, or %PROFILE%/Roaming/AppData, and what the heck is even the difference between those? Where is it putting logs? Where is it expecting config? Without any sort of filesystem hierarchy standard like Linux has, there is no way to know, and systems just gather cruft over the years to the point that common advice is periodically wipe your entire root filesystem and start from scratch.
It's not a good rule of thumb. There definitely are some tech companies that pay less than half of FAANG (especially among small startups and eng roles in less tech centric companies), but there are also a lot of companies that have similar salaries to FAANG.
Anecdotes from kernel maintainers is that memory unsafe code gets pas reviewers all the time. There was even that ethically questionable study that tried and succeed in getting vulnerabilities inserted into the kernel.
To get more answers (not necessarily 'any' though - I think you may have overgeneralized there), we would need to understand this mode of existence. I am thinking like this: what does existence look like without time? For example, a table is of no use to someone who has no timescale to do anything at that table. The word "created", is even more curious, as it has no meaning. Like a painting, in a plane like this, everything "just is". Immutable. Confusing to me. I'll admit, I'll never understand the full meaning of something that exists outside time.

Perhaps this is why God would make a universe with time.
> You are your child's parent. Not YouTube. If you want to control what you child watches, its on you to figure that out, not for YouTube to do it for you.

This is all well and good up to the point where YouTube starts to actively undermine the parent's efforts. Then it becomes "it's your fault for not defending yourself" bully logic. I believe this is what the author was complaining about.

> If you don't like the controls YouTube provides, don't use it. Or better yet be an actual functioning parent and don't just plop your kid down in front of screen and expect it to parent for you.

So you're implying kids shouldn't use YouTube at all? This seems both overly broad and impractical. Depending on the age of the child, it might not even be possible, e.g. if watching a video is required for school.

> Play with your kid. Do activities with them. There are near limitless other far more healthy ways a kid could be spending their time other than watching YouTube

So you're agreeing that YouTube Kids as a product shouldn't exist?
I wouldn't call it an architecture, more a goal. When I say effect system, I just mean how you apply various effects to your players/npcs. I wouldn't prescribe how to get there - it could just be your component system.

For myself, I go at it from a baseline approach: effects are one of the fundamental building blocks of the game. As much as possible, if something in the game does something, I try to do it through effects. This includes skills, spells, weapons, armor, commands, AI, systems, etc.

If everything does everything through these effects, you can make anything do anything in response to anything without having to special code it.

I don't make it that flexible for various reasons. But I think it's a good place to be philosophy-wise for something like a MUD.

As an example from the video, there is an Attack, Use, and Defense class that Items use, with specific attributes assigned to them (armor, dodge bonus, min damage, max damage, etc). With effects, you might have a list of effects that trigger on wear, on attack, on activate, etc.

A common effect is a damage effect. You could make an item that damages someone you hit with it (typical weapon), damages you when you wear it, or damages a target when you activate it. But you could do this with literally any effect you programmed for any spell or command. You can make an item heal you when you wear it. Or provides a heal over time when you wear it. Or heals your target when you hit them with it.

You can even combine them. I could make an item that, when worn, transfers everyone in the game to the wearer's location and kills them. I could do the very same thing for a spell. Or when someone enters a tile. Or a command. Etc.

I can do this because there is an admin command that can transfer everyone in the game to a location. It does this by effects. I have an admin command that can insta-kill anyone. It does this by effects. I can assign these effects to any place that uses effects.

I arrived at this solution because, when working long term on MUDs, I found myself coding the same thing over and over for different subsystems for different content creators. Ultimately my mantra turned into "non coders shouldn't need coders to build new, cool things" and this is how I went about doing that.
But: Truth is ugly; Nature is scary; Life is meaningless; Faith is silly; there is no Hope; Love is creepy; Freedom is useless.
