Runbook – A framework for gradual system automation (Do-nothing scripting)
The old, original tcmalloc that is still widely used starts out using sbrk and only switches to mmap if it exhausts the heap. So if you trace a program using gperftools/tcmalloc you could expect to see plenty of sbrk.

(The newer hugepage-aware tcmalloc never uses sbrk.)

I think the grandparent comment meant to link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Controversies , which is the heading under which the erroneous link falls.

More to the point that MDPI is a "predatory publisher", however, is this section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Inclusion_in_Beall's_list .

The eagle-eyed might point out that Beall removed MDPI from his list of predatory publishers before canning the list entirely, but he singles out MDPI, suggesting that they "tried to be as annoying as possible to the university so that the officials would get so tired of the emails that they would silence me just to make them stop."

I'm not sure we should be engaging so readily with this article.

The number of people who have died from Covid-19 is likely to be close to 17m
"Processed" is hopelessly vague and tells you nothing about the manner and the scale of the processing. According to the article, a processed food is one which is "manufactured by adding salt, sugar, oil, or other processed culinary ingredients to minimally processed foods."

So, it's anything with any amount of salt, sugar, or oil.

How much?

An Impossible Burger trivially meets the definition of a processed food. In more meaningful terms:

• An Impossible patty has 370mg of sodium. That is actionable information and should inform your dieting, should you choose to eat one. But with the WHO suggesting a daily limit of 2000mg (the American Heart Association aims lower, 1500mg), a single 370mg patty alone isn't anything to be scared of. Yes, it's a substantial portion of your budget, but if you're committing to eating a burger, how much more are you actually planning to eat? It should be a significant fraction of all of the food you're eating today, regardless of the salt content!

• Impossible patties have less than 1g of added sugars. At that low quantity, I don't much care.

• Impossible meat contains coconut and sunflower oil. Coconut is one of the healthiest options for a food oil, whereas sunflower is sometimes high in omega-6 (the ingredients list is not specific enough to tell). I would love to know the relative proportions, but I'll content myself with knowing that coconut is higher on the list.

So at the end of the day, an Impossible burger seems like a fine meal to me. By my standards, it doesn't clearly raise alarm on any of the three axes that define a "processed" food. Take that scare word away and let's deal in material facts.
I have a dedicated server at home running as an LXC host.

The framework was built out of my own developments as I needed to develop web applications over the last few years. I chose AWS for the original architecture because of my familiarity with the platform and relative ease of use.

Only recently have I started the process of formalizing the framework as it has existed, so there hasn't been any work done on supporting a cloudless implementation. It's on the radar (I have a notice on the top of the git readme about this very topic and needing contributors).

If you are interested in this, feel free to join the discord posted on the github. I'm very much open to discussion and dialog.

You basically said "fiber needs are different, google it" so I did, and I don't see anything supporting that statement. You bring up ketosis but I though we're talking about more or less "normal" diets that consume carbs.

I think keto is (in most instances) a dangerous fad diet, but feel free to experiment. Tho I have at various times cut sugar and processed carbohydrates (only eating whole grains) out of my diet and everything was sweeter.

Fasting and keto are not the same thing.
Thank you; that makes some sense!
>Zillow was literally scalping housing [...]. That's generally considered very immoral by most reasonable people.

sorry, what were they doing?

Scalping may also refer to:

Scalping (trading), in trading securities and commodities either a fraudulent form of market manipulation or a legitimate form of arbitrage

Ticket resale, the resale of tickets to a public event such as a concert or sporting event

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalping_(disambiguation)

The arbitrage definition under "Scalping (trading)" (ie. making money off the bid/ask spread) doesn't seem very immoral to me. I don't think they were buying houses in an area, then recommending people to buy it, so it doesn't fall under the fraudulent definition. The "ticket resale" definition doesn't really fit, because zillow isn't really acquiring houses at below market value. They're buying houses from the same market as everyone else.

>a basic human need that all people must buy

you need to buy housing, not necessarily a house. They're not the same thing. You need to buy food to survive, but you don't necessarily to buy a farm.

>tens of thousands of homes sold last quarter, was a sale to a scalper to artificially drive up all housing prices

but the fact that they lost money suggests that they didn't drive up housing prices?
I assume the point is to let any one of the steps turn into something more complex and automated, as they say, without affecting the rest of the script. If each step is its own class, that gives you a place to go in and expand any one of them without worrying about conflicting with unrelated changes.

If the idea were to leave the script as it is, then of course your way is simpler.

I don’t mean to sound rude, but frosted cereal, miracle whip and pot pie are not indicators of a good diet.

Once you start eating whole foods (mostly meat, vegetables, nuts and eggs), you’ll realize how easy it is to lose weight (particularly once you start exercising). I think the trouble is that most people have conditioned their tastebuds to respond to highly processed food, so they think they can’t eat “normally”.

Hah, I think that at least at the beginning, the tools wanted to steamroll the Bigtable service, too. As the one that had to vet the changes every week, I had to go explain that it wasn't really neither our quota nor our usage.
For Colossus, sometimes large new clusters would go from very idle to super busy and under provisioned within days or few weeks, AFTER the steamrolling was already done, just because large users moved in. We then had to bring up new curators (masters) quickly, many times with quota that didn't exist. Quite often, when out of options, I ended up taking precious p360 quota from the storage monitoring user to mint production resources for Colossus. Fun times.

"
KUOW news editor Gil Aegerter was poking around on the Washington state elections website when he noticed something strange: You can print out a ballot for anyone, as long as you know their birthday.

To demonstrate, he pulls up a ballot for Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who is in charge of elections in Washington.

[...]

That's because a signature is required when you return your ballot, which is checked against a copy of your signature that's kept on file. Wyman calls it security "at the back end."

Aegerter pulls a copy of Wyman's signature online. Wyman's still not worried.
"

It also happens that our last local elections swung by 7-13% after the election night counts. Just a coincidence.

Edit: It's worse than I thought. Obviously, once people accept the inacceptable, you push one step further. Before long we'll decide elections by Twitter likes.

"
This year, military and overseas voters will be allowed to vote electronically in Washington's presidential primary. Wyman backed a bill this legislative session to try and kill that. It failed.
"
Seems to be a moot point?

Lots of cities have apps like that, and before they existed there were "mayor's hotlines."

Boston has one, run by the mayor's hotline staff. They are exceptionally good at closing your issue without the issue being fixed.

Apparently they file another ticket in the job system of the relevant city department (each department has their own completely unique system), say "done!" and close your ticket, even though the relevant department might never do anything and you have no idea of the status of that ticket, nor any way to find out. There is no way to report that the issue still exists or comment or anything. By design. They want something that looks good. Issue reported, city addressed it, done.

Multiple times I have had an issue with something broken or non-functional, filed a ticket, had it closed as "fixed", sometimes it even says something like "fixed by a crew on blah blah", and I go back, take another picture, open a yet another ticket. I mention that it's the second or third or fourth time I've reported the same issue. Doesn't matter. Nobody cares.

Down in NYC if you fill out a noise complaint on the city's hotline, the cops show up 30 minutes later.

Boston is a city "run" by people who got the job through patronage, and are chair-warming assholes waiting for their pensions to kick in. It has something like three times the number of employees per capita compared to most other cities, and yet nothing gets done unless you know the right someone.
Easy to account for in drive firmware. Not to mention the file system if that were actually being used. Way back when, master boot records were duplicated at know locations for kinda similar reasons.
I have recently used it to simulate a network breakdown between application and the database server to study what the application does. There are various clients you can use with toxiproxy via which you can set "toxics" (i.e. a delay in the network traffic, etc), but I found the cli more suited to my needs. The other clients, (for e.g. nodejs) can help you write unit tests which are meant to test the resiliency.

The other fact that caught my interest was the concept of "gamedays". It really about introducing "problems" in the production system randomly and keeping the support staff that manage application incidents on it toes. (More about in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTfWpHuCJXk)

I see it as almost the opposite of a buffet. A really big meal isn't that much bigger than a median meal, but personal data varies a lot.

If you look at BackBlaze's histogram, 1/3 of the users are under 100GB and 2/3 are under 500GB. BackBlaze makes a nice profit on those users. But let's say I have just one moderately large drive that's mostly full. Looking at the sales at Best Buy right now, let's say that's a 14TB drive. BackBlaze would lose a ton of money on that, even though it's really hard to argue it's unreasonable in any way, completely unlike a cooler at a buffet.
Please don't help Fox News and Musk spread authoritarian propaganda. Austin wasn't even in the top 30 for US cities with spikes in homicide rates[1], even though they had one of the biggest budget reductions in the country.

This is how Austin actually cut its police budget, by the way:

> In reality, Austin council members slashed or reallocated $150 million from the Police Department by separating programs, such as the forensics lab and 911 dispatch, to create independence. But those programs did not have their budgets cut.

> What turned out to be the most consequential impact came from $21 million in cuts, canceling three cadet classes.

> Council members said they suspended the program because the department had not done enough to alter its curriculum to shift to “adult learning” from a military boot camp model that critics said instilled aggressive behavior. City Manager Spencer Cronk said the pandemic hindered that effort.[2]

So the only budget that was cut was for a training program that militarized police, and it wasn't a cut -- it was a suspension until the program was reworked.

Austin did not reduce the number of cadets[3] either. They just eliminated those three particular classes.

They also didn't reduce the number of employed officers. They just stopped trying to hire for some of the open positions:

> Tight labor market conditions, coupled with repeated delays of cadet classes, led to as many as 180 vacancies at the Austin Police Department (APD), according to a KVUE report of February 21, 2020.

> Now, the department won’t get to fill most of those vacancies. The city council voted August 13 to eliminate 150 vacant sworn officer positions. They also decided not to add 30 new officer positions that had been scheduled as part of a long-term staffing plan.

To recap: Austin did not reduce the number of officers, the scope of emergency services, or any aspect of their law enforcement budget except for (A) the number of open positions and (B) three classes for cadets that were found to militarize officers and make them more dangerous.

Unfortunately, we'll never know how many people this saved from dying in the custody of police because most of those organizations violate laws that require them to properly investigate those deaths[4].

> The resulting supernovae, however, yield high-speed neutrons that are captured by nuclei to create elements heavier than iron.

Current theoretical physics indicates that actually half of the elements heavier than iron are created not by supernovae but instead by binary neutron start collisions. These are R-Process elements. [1]

Thus, the article is incorrectly attributing elements heavier than iron to generally be from supernovae when most the elements by mass heavier than iron are from neutron stars ripping each other apart and causing a rapid decay of these hadrons into the stable heavy elements.

The biggest cause of this in my experience is too much codified process, not too little. This is cause #1 in this article, which is vindicating.

Adding process is a delicate balance and most large companies err on too much of it.

Every checklist you add, every new approval, every sheet that needs some rows filled out, every brief - all of them add friction.

New projects are inherently speculative, and most things don't move the company's bottom line. The power law that says 10% of work get 90% of results is true. Friction means whoever is doing the work is just a little less likely to propose a bold test, to push on a tweak they notice, because they know it will become an ordeal.

Obviously you can't be 100% wild west and some process is needed. But you have to be very very careful when adding it.

Vancouver is the 4th densest city in North America (> 250k people). They have plenty of multi-story condos/apartment buildings, they also had these 30 years ago (as a kid growing up in Seattle, I would always marvel at how dense Vancouver was compared to our city in the south). So while sure, Vancouver could become even more dense until speculators had enough of the market (same thing happened in the late 1980s during the Japanese bubble, Vancouver got burned for it in the 90s), they are already doing plenty well comparatively.
