That's not too many requests, but running any form of a home network would still benefit moderately from a local DNS server. You could even install something like dnsmasq on the most heavy-using boxes to cache lookups locally.

Granted, I'm saying this as yet another home-network admin who hasn't quite... ahem... gotten around to installing a DNS server. ^_^; I'm mostly sharing this here in case someone else has a similar problem and wants a solution.
> The check on tyranny of the majority, beyond notional defense of rights, is that the representation of the House vs the Senate differ from each other and so agreement between them (and especially a durable agreement between them) probably means more than "mere" majority support.

The problem with this theory is that while they differ, they don't have opposing bias (and the electoral college combines their biases, so the bias in the Presidency also doesn't oppose the electoral bias of either House or Senate. Which is why (with the present ideological configuration of the parties) Republicans outperform their popular vote share in the House, and the Senate, and the Electoral College; aligned bias does not inhibit total domination by the majority, it enables it (or even domination by the minority) in the direction of the bias.

Now, ignoring the aligned bias in those institutions, one thing that works against dominance by a transiently electorally advantaged faction is the electoral calendar. While the House is elected every two years and the Presidendy every four, only 1/3 of the Senate turns is chosen every two years.

The “good behavior” tenure of federal judges and the high Constitutional bar for removal (2/3 of the Senate) also serves this purpose ideally, though it has a failure mode that can instead increase the reach of a transitory political dominance, depending on timing of appointments.
Congrats! That's very inspiring.
I am unsure how much you actually need someone to deal with customers. Roads/bridges are already automated in terms of reading the registration sign and the payment is also automated. The biggest issue from my experience is customers not knowing which lane to go to or where to park, but that seems like a problem which could be fixed through clearer markings and signs. The ferry is basically just a floating road, with the driver inside the car at all times.

There are many smaller island with permanent resident, and only so much money to build bridges. Some places I know only have a ferry that goes there a few times a day. Making those kind of ferries cheaper would both improve those peoples lives but also enable more people to live in such locations. Without crunching the numbers, it seems possible that an autonomous ferry could be made cheaper than what an equal distance of road on land.

> For example, how can a single replica even detect that it had a disk fault if the last I/O it acknowledged externally was simply never written to disk at all, despite an fsync barrier?

Could you explain how the paper addresses this particular kind of fault, as I cannot find it? This isn't one of the fault categories listed in Table 2, and the paper assumes that the storage layer reliably detects faults. I cannot see how a local system by itself can ever reliably detect this class of fault?

I can imagine coordinators detecting that a response from a replica is not up-to-date, but that happens anyway in most consensus protocols and this doesn't help correctness if only f+1 replicas had persisted the record (and another f have persisted a record with a conflicting outcome)

>I would highly recommend the PAR paper to you, if you have not incorporated it already into Cassandra.

I have read (well, skimmed) the PAR paper a few times, and while it is a nice paper I am unconvinced it is particularly helpful, beyond reiterating the fact that you cannot trust your disks - but this problem has to anyway be addressed by databases.

I think that the kind of active recovery it outlines could even be counter-productive in some cases. Once a disk fault is detected, it is unclear that it is safe or helpful to try to replicate correct data to the node. It may have less storage available to it now, if it has sensibly isolated the faulty disk, or may be unable to persist the data and so the recovery process may simply result in a lot of recurring work for the system.

Probably the most general purpose course of action is to replace the node, since nodes are plentiful. The faulty node can then have its disk replaced before being returned to the pool of available nodes.

Hey folks, I am Praveen, a developer advocate at Hasura. We first launched Hasura Learn in 2019 with the intention of building GraphQL tutorials for developers who wanted to learn GraphQL by getting hands-on, within the comfort of their favourite stacks. 2.5years later, we have grown this to just over 25 courses, added tutorials on databases, and Hasura (basics, authorization & production ready advanced concepts). We. have had a lot of help from the community in building & maintaining these over the years.

The intent has always been for devs to be able to get exactly the slice of info they need to get productive. The courses typically take between 30mins to about 2 hours to complete.

We're super excited to re-launch Hasura Learn today with it's brand new look, poised for many more courses to be added in collaboration with the community. We have also Japanese & Mandarin translations to our two most popular courses, and added 2 new databases courses (SQL Server & MySQL in addition to Postgres).
Money spent on going to space doesn't vanish in an exhaust plume. The money spent building a rocket is paying for the ongoing training, expertise and development of precision machining, software control systems, welding techniques, project management, infrastructure upgrades etc.

Though that's not really the issue anyway: the US's problems aren't caused by a lack of funding, they're caused by a lack of political will and a populace which is in part completely happy with the current state of affairs and votes accordingly. People's townwater isn't flammable because we didn't spend enough money fixing that problem: it's because the government (and voters) are in aggregate, completely happy to let it happen. Money - distinctly - will not buy a solution.

My wife is actually five years older than me. But we met on a night club and made out before talking too much and it stuck. I think we developed a crush on each other in the ensuing daytime dates, came to admire each other and recognize common values. But we had kissed first and tested the chemistry.

People overthink dating and mating. We'd all probably be reasonably happy on arranged marriages. With apologies for the non-inclusive language of an old song, "woman needs man and man must have his mate, on that you can rely as time goes by".
I don’t think that’s necessarily the way to interpret that graph. Look at 2:12:08 PM. It still has only 5 upvotes but gets placed onto position 26 of the best list.

maybe this is shitty of me but i'm really sensitive to negativity. my wife tends to have moments of complaining a lot, and i've found repetitive but sympathetic responses to complaints helps her realize how much she's complaining and makes her stop without me having to actually ask her to stop. she's even commented some days that it feels like i've said "sorry to hear that baby" about a thousand times. and she's right, I do have days where is say it a ton because she's complaining a ton

> But the key reason for it is that it's a dedicated power port. That means that port is designed for that. You don't waste money allowing your laptop to be charged from any of the four USB-C ports. Like, who needs that?

USB ports have to be connected to the power system anyway because they have to power peripherals. Maybe it's got to be a slightly heavier connection to charge the computer, but I'm guessing the extra cost is minimal compared to a whole different fancy port with magnets in it and a whole different cable. Who needs it? People who don't want to carry around an extra cable everywhere.

> This is a very popular trend and a lot of programs are replacing their icons in this way, so it's obviously fine for most people, and I realize this is probably a niche accessibility need I have.

It's not a niche accessibility need, it's a universal accessibility need that's been commonly understood for decades. Insufficient differentiation is one of the factors that originally drove the increase of colour count (and later, as display hardware allowed it, resolution) in icons 30-ish years ago.

This trend is not driven by universal preference for monochromatic icons but by the cargo cult that UX has become.
I believe Cyrillic а and Latin а are different because there already existed legacy encodings where а and а were considered different characters, so Unicode kept the distinction for backward-compatibility.

While there were no existing legacy encodings allowing to write Chinese and Japanese at the same time, so there was nothing to keep compatibility with.

I'm not sure that NASA designs much. JPL designs and builds most of the probes launched by NASA. JPL is an anomaly in the Federal Government where it gets good results.

This high salary is for people with a certain level inside, most people don't even reach L6 (which still has a high total comp of ~500k). It's often RSU packages and bonus that pushes the total annual compensation so high.

But for many tech companies its not unusual on west coast for a normal senior position to have a base of 200k, and then restricted stock units in a similar (maybe little lower) range every year. Plus you get a bonus payment of about 20% of your base salary (can be more or less based on performance). Stock doubled or tripled for msft, amzn, etc... in last two years.

That all makes things expensive, big gap between what people can afford, lots of homeless people,... and we engineers generally think we deserve being paid so much while the world around us goes down. Lol.

So going for jobs that pay even more, when most engineering jobs are already paying insanely well compared to average pushes the company in a certain direction character wise.

The fertility rate of the USA and China is the same - 1.7 children per couple. China's facing a huge demographic crisis in the coming decades, primarily as a result of the one child policy.

Are we better off, specifically with spending slightly more money on proving people with water, than having weather forecasts that can help thousands of farmer provide better yields and grow more food?

Could we not say, spend a little bit less on building guns and use that money to do it instead? There’s loads more money in guns than space and hell, and wtf are the people crying for us to stop doing that?

This made me curious so I looked it up and found this bit on FAA's web site:

> Size limits: Lithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries are limited to 2 grams of lithium per battery. Lithium ion (rechargeable) batteries are limited to a rating of 100 watt hours (Wh) per battery. These limits allow for nearly all types of lithium batteries used by the average person in their electronic devices. With airline approval, passengers may also carry up to two spare larger lithium ion batteries (101–160 Wh) or Lithium metal batteries (2-8 grams). This size covers the larger after-market extended-life laptop computer batteries and some larger batteries used in professional audio/visual equipment.

Even consumer level boats are starting to get this technology. You can get nav systems now which have fully autonomous control (I believe via garmin). They are extremely useful when fishing.
