EDB Announces BigAnimal, PostgreSQL Database in the Cloud
In the past i used brew to install EVERYTHING, this lead to situations like in OP of DBs, compilers, interpreters and other things that i wished stay frozen to get updated by surprise

Since then i moved to manage everything that needs to stay frozen by either a versioned formula/cask (python@3.9 and so on) or use brew to install a version manager (asdf,pyenv,pipx) and then use that. Results are much better once I did that

Although versioned casks/formula exists you will still get minor versions - python@3.9 will update from 3.9.0 to 3.9.1 is that ever exists. so while completely protecting you from upgrades it does minimize the the risk

Also, there is really no need to install virtualenv directly from brew. A very bad practice. Of course doesn't change the fact that brew did things that are unrelated to what you asked of it
And if not enough for an injunction, certainly enough for an “information and belief” claim in a lawsuit, which would likely survive a motion to dismiss and get you to discovery.
Gadsby – an entire book with the total absence of the letter “e”. Public domain
As has repeatedly been pointed out, the claim is based on the perception of environmental unfriendliness, so this tangent about the hypothetical existence of a non-harmful one is irrelevant.

The paper described the terms they performed analysis on:

("cryptocurrency" or "bitcoin" or "ethereum") and atl1("energy" or “energy consumption” or
“energy footprint” or “climate change” or “carbon footprint” or "environment" or "environmental"
or “environmental impact” or “carbon footprint” )

So, while they didn't list every niche cryptocurrency, they did include the catch-all phrase. This should capture some of the sentiment about those niche cryptocurrencies (to the extent that people care about them).
I never read Foundation, so maybe that's why I like the show so much.

The ideas are all new to me and I have no idea where the story is going.
That’s working as intended. They don’t want to prevent discrimination, they want to stop discrimination against groups they like.
Oh shoot thank you, for some reason when I last looked it seemed it was implied you needed the whole Xcode package.

Guess I'll give that machine another go now.
Mongodb is just as good or better than any other database out there.

Coinbase uses MongoDB, Barclays uses MongoDB, BBVA uses MongoDB, Capital One uses MongoDB. Charles Schwab uses MongoDB. FICO uses MongoDB. Goldman Sachs uses MongoDB. HSBC uses MongoDB. Intuit uses MongoDB. Uk Inland Revenue uses MongoDB. UK Dept of Work and Pensions uses MongoDB. What more proof do you need that MongoDB can stand toe to toe with any RDMS.
In general you can leave your money in the stock market and take out 4% a year and expect that to continue forever. Obviously there is no guarantee on that but it has held true for 60+ years. If your expenses are 40k/year you only need 1M to retire. 20M would get you 800k/year.
> they can put any conditions they please on how others might use it

Isn't it "how they sell it" instead of "how they use it"?

Edit: Also, "how" doesn't necessarily mean "what for".
For one piece of software, maybe. Now imagine what happens when a lot of open source software does the same thing. It would become impossible to use open source software of that kind because there is no way that you will be able to satisfy many different groups of people each with their own points of view on what is moral or not, at the same time.

On top of that, even if all the groups shared the same views you’d still need to suddenly spend a lot of time understanding each group before you used their software, and you’d need to continue to keep an eye on their views to ensure you are complying.

Thanks but I will stick to the plain old open source licenses like ISC, MIT, GPL, and Apache.
I wonder just how far people are willing to take their wokeism. So far neither the Pentagon nor CIA has had any problems recruiting scientists and software developers.

With idealism I've discovered that words are rarely followed by action.
Homebrew stinks of over-optimization and deletionism.

In contrast to how it used to be, Homebrew now seems designed for people that only want popular bleeding edge packages, and nobody else. If I just wanted to install google-chrome, sublime, and skype, I would use the app store. I used to use Homebrew to install more obscure packages that were useful to me, like Arduino, Processing, and some specialized bluetooth tools.

It is especially frustrating because there are good reasons to not want bleeding edge. OSX ages pretty well, and new versions of macOS often remove important features. As long as you have security updates, I think it is reasonable if you run an older version of macOS. For some of us, Catalina and Big Sur were pretty painful, especially if they are a liability for how you make money. Losing total-terminal and total-spaces were a big blow to my workflow, and not at all simple to work around, as well as certain accessibility software.

Homebrew being so aggressive about updating itself compounds many other issues it has. For one thing, major changes are made frequently, and it is very aggressive about pruning packages and only supporting recent version of macOS.

So, I have lost count of the number of times Homebrew has broken itself.

Homebrew will go out of its way to search through its history and tell you a package has been removed, but gives you no easy way to install them. Homebrew could make it fairly easy to revert updates, since so much of it is in a git repo, but it doesn't.

I wanted to install an SNES emulator, and I was using an install of macOS from maybe two years earlier, and Homebrew installed a version that was incompatible with my OS. Since it was a cask, I don't think anything depended on it. I had to actually search through the Homebrew repo history and check out that specific formula, since nobody had a tap for it.

Unless you are near the center of the bell curve, you don't matter. And it is a shame, because I really think that it wouldn't impose a significant cost to support more of us, and substantially improve its UX.

Homebrew used to be a powerful repository of most macOS software. Some of its less used packages could be unreliable, sure, but that was the case regardless of where I got them. Now it is morphing into an App Store. This is part of why I gave up on macOS two years ago and went to Linux full time. I can't rely on Homebrew.
This depends.

If it's a planned downtime with stuff, people can plan around (eg pay your bill before the weekend), that's bearable.

But if the government wants you to do something (eg. declare VAT), but then the page isn't available, and they still expect you to do it, and you could get fined if you don't... that's a really shitty thing to happen.
Yeah, it's not the "processing" of it. It's that one of the steps in the process of almost all "processed" food is: "Add a ton of salt and sugar".

It's not the processing, it's optimizing for getting your dumb starving brain in your fat meat puppet to go "More of that. Now." that is a problem.

Processing is just a word, and not even that bad as shorthand. But here come the word thinkers and now it's heretical to... what? Let food see the inside of a factory?
Big stainless steel vats are what make you fat? Word thinkers, man. That's a bigger problem than sugar.
so far most (all?) attempts to create a “conservative” social network end up as sites with large nazi userbases

I’ll bite!

The conclusion is that there were ancient civilizations that we don’t currently have archeological evidence for. If you know anything about archeological research in India, you know that it is far, far from comprehensive.

Here’s a small example: Shiva is often represented smoking a chillum. Yet, the accepted understanding is that smoking was developed in the Americas and no smoking in the old world took place pre-1492. It would therefore be a major discovery to establish that a chillum was precolumbian. There simply isn’t a research base (no funding, no training) to investigate even simple questions like this.

Might we find evidence of, say, metallurgy that is 10,000 years old in India? Perhaps! Should we expect to? Probably not. Should we do more archaeological research in India? 100% Who will fund it?
Back in 2004 Fyodor, creator of nmap, terminated SCO's rights to use it based on their suit against IBM and general attacks on the Linux community. A very specific example, but one that immediately came to mind when reading your comment.

I’m enjoying it like I enjoyed Black Mirror. Science fiction is very hard to worldbuild right, so often the science minded audience has to turn a blind eye to a few things and think in terms of metaphors.

Humanity traveling faster than light? Check. Woman using stupid bras? Check. Radar that maps entire cave? Check. It doesn’t flag a creature 5m ahead? Check.

For many, these details are unbearable plot holes. Watching science fiction require you to be able to skip these and focus on the story (girl in love, sucking at survival sim).
"Watchmen and policemen are heavily, scarily equipped."

This one amused me, as an American who has been to India (though not Pune, so maybe the area was different in this sense), because while I don't remember what police carried (though I saw a fair number), I remember being shocked by the number of security guards I cam across (mostly in front of office buildings and when entering malls) who were carrying rifles (they looked a bit like AK47s/AKMs, though I don't know for sure if they were), whereas most security I've encountered in the US carries sidearms at most, and often no firearms at all.
Depends where you live. In Canada and a lot of other parts of the world intellectual property also has something called moral rights. What is being done here is well within the copyright holder's moral rights in many parts of the world. If your name is associated with a project you have the right to assert how your project is used because it could reflect on the copyright holder's name and reputation.

Like all things intellectual property rights, the copyright's moral rights would have to be determined by a court of law in the copyright holder's legal jurisdiction.
> Talking to someone who was super-happy working 180% in three jobs because it allowed her to send all her three sons to college and because three jobs were less boring than one

If she is, indeed, super-happy working at all three jobs, she's definitely an anomaly. I can't imagine working 2+ jobs and not feeling stressed out about them.

Did she say what the jobs were, and how many hours she spent in each per week?
The creators are themselves fruit of the society. It's short-sighted to grant them the privilege to withhold their fruit.
I think you need to be careful here.

There's this trope going on in circles of people who love nuclear tech that expensive plants are just expensive because of X, where X can be environmentalists, government bureaucrats, old, bad designs (e.g. too large, or not using thorium, or not using molten salt, insert pet design issue here), lack of subsidy (e.g. government backed loans), etc.

While there's probably some truth to it, I think it's ignoring the elephant in the room, that nuclear tech is just really difficult to get right, and that the bar has been upped as the nuclear engineering community has learned about new failure modes.

Also, I think there's widespread agreement that current nuclear tech needs an oversight committee, just like aircraft tech. Even if it's incompatible with regulation nihilism.
You have the correct instinct. Laches (not latches, it really is a different word) is about a specific cause so it only helps if you've got a reasonable case that the plaintiff should have noticed this cause ages ago. If the cause is new that's obviously not going to work.

I will add that the US is really huge with a lot of regional variation. About half these observations are pretty specific to the DC area. Everything from food, fitness, hobbies, dress, home construction, language, friendliness, patterns of small talk, political opinions, and demographic averages can be quite different from state to state and city to city.

Yea, but you don’t have to prove your case to get into court.

You have to be able to say, with a straight face, that you really believe that they did the thing you’re accusing them of.

So just because it’s theoretically possible that there’s a path to the facts we see without violating the license, the fact that a license violation is a plausible explanation is enough to launch a court case.

After all, the court case including the discovery process and the trial itself are all about determining the relevant facts.
Although technically true, it's much easier (and quicker) to gain X calories than to lose them via exercise. So if you're overweight, your number one priority is to control your diet. Regular exercise is important for health reasons, but not to lose weight.

There are exceptions. If you're a professional cyclist, for example, and able to output several hundreds of Watt for several hours, 6 days a week, you'll quickly lose weight through exercise. But that's not actionable advice for regular people with a full-time job and a family.
>All house floors, apart from kitchen floors, obviously, are carpeted. I have no idea why, someone tell me.

You're in an apartment, carpets are cheaper than a hard surface floor for the price point of an apartment. So anywhere where a hard surface isn't required, wall to wall carpet will be put down.

The other advantage of carpet, especially in an apartment, is that it muffles the sound of your movement.

Last, it's also warmer in the winter, which is nice.

Now, in my own home, I have hardwood flooring throughout and area rugs.

>Stoves are always electric. No lighter needed.

Electric stoves are actually low end, or if you live somewhere without natural gas. A gas stove has a built in igniter with a little spark generator on each burner. So no lighter either way!

>But for bathroom taps, I don’t understand why there’s two different knobs for hot and cold.

Stylistic choice. You can also get bathroom faucets with a central handle control. Kitchen faucets can be either way, too.

The TV show is actually better than I expected, although after watching the trailers I had low expectations. I was totally prepared for the major surgery required to adapt a work like Foundation to the screen. However, I think my biggest problem with the show is a complete lack of subtlety that was present in the books.

In the books, the significance of the Vault is purely about ideas -- what its revelations mean for civilization. Whereas the showrunners needed to exaggerate its spectacle -- "You dumb TV watchers aren't going to get how important this is, so we have to shove it in your face. See? Giant floaty alien-looking thing? Must be important, right?"

Another example is how the decline of civilization isn't supposed to be obvious to the people living through it. At the time of the events of the first episode, the decline is supposed to be manifesting itself in extremely minor ways -- an extremely subtle "atmosphere of decay". Expressways aren't being maintained as well as they once were, and deployment of new elevator technology is held back by pessimism. People wouldn't have noticed these things any more than a Roman in 200 AD would have seen a crumbling road and caught a glimpse of the fall of Rome. But instead of showing the elevator industry resting on their laurels, the showrunners have to show a spectacular terrorist attack on a space elevator that kills 100 million people. "See! The empire is falling apart. Get it?"

The showrunners are trying to paint a picture with a paint sprayer instead of using fine brush strokes.

There's nothing to be on the fence about here; plenty of existing businesses that have already validated that they are getting a lot of use of their existing charging investments.

For a petrol station. There's nothing to cannibalize. They can either watch all the EVs drive past to the next charging + pit stop opportunity or accommodate those customers and have them in their shops, rest rooms, restaurants, etc. Petrol isn't their core business in any case.

Easy choice if you want the business. The rest is just economical Darwinism. Anyone driving a car for work is likely to be switching sooner rather than later; in some countries that process is already pretty far completed with e.g. leasing companies preferring evs for cost and other reasons. EV sales have hit double digit percentages in many countries and the number of countries where that is over 50% is also growing. So, easy choice for most petrol stations. More a question of when and how many than if for most of them.
Yes, there's a chance I can recover this. Can you shoot me an email (hello@papyrus.dev) with the email you signed up with, and the name of the post you were working on? Happy to look into this.

Custom allocators have always been available for specialized needs, even the JDK ships with a number of options which each can be tuned further. I wrote a fast and safe memory allocator for the old MacOS that was briefly popular before MacOSX appeared which obsoleted it. But having built such a beast (and written the tons of test apps you need to ensure it works under all conditions) there is always room to optimize for needs that you can't employ in a generalized allocator. Like everything, you can't optimize for all cases and still be good enough for the average case.
> Just imagine the anger when it would come to a FOSS dev team's attention that <insert-evil-group> is using their product, successfully even...

Err, this is something a lot of FOSS dev' have been complaining about actually. There has been complain in the past directed toward Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon and many top-100 company for using free software without contributing anything back (code or financial support), or again, because they are disliked by the original FOSS team.

This "woke" word has been thrown around left and right at this point and is completely nonsensical, like SJW before that.

> Writers today seem to not understand anymore how reality works, so they aren't able to extrapolate from it.

That's a quite accurate observation. Even for the largest budgets people tasked with story telling are almost always the weakest element. Who makes them? What kind of education do they undergo to be this wrong about reality and storytelling? Are they such small and in-bred group that they are all so wrong in such similar ways?

This reminds me of another weird thing. In games, various NPCs often say the same dialog line just in different voices. So the bottleneck is writing few words? Not hiring voice talent, not recording it in the studio and postprocessing it? But writing few unique words less is where you get your savings?
By far the easiest way is to measure it after the fact, but I know that’s not what you’re asking... :)

We did do some "analysis", meaning that we made some underlying guesses and multiplied them together, but the real value is in getting people to think that 1.000 is not the actual goal-line, then tracking and doing RCA on all the outages, bucketing them into categories so you know whether to invest more in diverse networking, software testing, HA for DB servers, failover sites, zero downtime releases, etc.

Many times, you can avoid entire massive projects (“we need to be hosted in 2 geographically diverse data centers for availability” “uh, no we don’t; we have a budget of 262 minutes of downtime per year and that project will save us less than 60 minutes per year on average, using the best case assumption that our own changes to implement it cause no downtime”)

Most potential employees moved on to better jobs. You're not going to force someone who's moved to say Wyoming to be a windmill tech back into being a waiter at your restaurant like ever. This isn't the days of feudalism either so you have no legal leverage over the 'great reshuffling.' You either accept that you'll be working your existing labor pool harder or you will be paying more to get more labor. There's no third option.
