In a lot of social circles, the word "diverse" has undergone significant semantic narrowing. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/01/opinion/language-race-sem... is a decent discussion of the phenomenon.

It does mean the word means totally different things to different people. That may make it a good or bad word to use in a mission statement, depending on your goals.

How much sense does it make for another product to try to be even slightly close to elasticsearch?

My experience with ES has been somewhat mixed, exactly because them trying to do everything at the same time and a lot of the specific things we needed being under documented and involving much more try and error than should be necessary.

I for one welcome more focused products, when the need again arises for something in this space.
Yes, the re-build aspect is almost gone. As I kid I got maybe 5-10 original sets over a 10 year period, and a few bags of random bricks, and I played and played with that. Nowadays the idea is more build and forget. If you're lucky they'll play a bit with the finished model, but they don't seem to be making their own.

One fun fact about the instructions, I recently learned from a Lego designer that the reason they use many different colours on the inside of most models is to make it easier to see what's going on while you're building. That explanation never occurred to me, but maybe it's obvious.

As for the foster homes: point taken. Although it's irrelevant if the dog is so desirable that someone adopts it right away. Which is the case we're talking about here after all.

As for your comment about shelters: you're just plain wrong about that. There's a stereotype that they're about as diligent as the DMV. Wrong. Considering the breed rescue people are mostly unpaid volunteers who don't stick with it very long, it's probably a wash.
> These weren't designed with the requirements we have today

Really?

> like configuration management for servers

What do you mean by this? Configuration is standardized on Linux and BSD. With tools like Docker and Nix, it's arguably easier than ever to set-and-forget configuations.

> live security upgrades

Livepatching has been a thing on Linux for close to a decade now.

> mitigating CPU flaws

Microcode updates are a common occurrence, I'm not exactly sure how you'd expect people to mitigate silicon-level exploits with software like that otherwise though.

On a separate note, what you might be looking for is Redox OS. It's not corporately backed, but it does solve real, tangible problems with modern OSes like memory/thread safety.

I support such a move. YouTube comments have always been trash.
i agree 100% that you need to structure the project so there's a way to develop locally in your dev machine -- without a network connection -- and run integration tests against local versions of services.

looks like google spanner have plugged that workflow gap since you evaluated it for your project:

> The Cloud SDK provides a local, in-memory emulator, which you can use to develop and test your applications for free without creating a GCP Project or a billing account. As the emulator stores data only in memory, all state, including data, schema, and configs, is lost on restart. The emulator offers the same APIs as the Cloud Spanner production service and is intended for local development and testing, not for production deployments.

If I were you, I would look at efficacy and effectiveness of the vaccines. The effect on R0 is more difficult to estimate because you can't run a controlled study on it and you have a bunch of confounding factors.
I am not very familiar with the Postgres Parquet FDW, but here is an educated guess!

Postgres is a row store engine rather than a column store, so I believe there will need to be quite a lot of translation for Postgres to be able to process parquet data (DuckDB and parquet are both columnar). My hypothesis is that DuckDB would be significantly faster! However, feel free to benchmark things!
Yes, this is common in modern sets. Quite a few have the color puke shining through, even if it's fully assembled, which is a common complaint.

>I don't think we want to live in a world where absolute moral purity (as determined by the most vocal, biased critics of a given person) is required to hold public office.

Don't worry, you live in a world where a man with a well documented decades-long laundry list of scandals and faux-pas can brag on tape about how he can get away with molesting young women because of how rich he is and still get elected President.

I'm actually wondering what you could effectively blackmail an American politician with, given how little Americans seem to care about the morality of their leaders. Maybe just the eponymous "dead girl or live boy," but then you have the Kennedys...

Yeah, if the receiver of the capital is already rich and/or well-connected. If you're not in the top 10%, all you get is 10%+ APR credit cards, payday loans and other usurious crap.

The attention memes draw has value and the productivity should show up in ad sales and increased want creation.

What would be that alternative?

The point of 2FA is "something you have"... if you lose it, you no longer have it. It's designed to lock you out if lost/stolen... otherwise, what would be the point?

As an aside, 2FA keys are not what most people use... they use cell phone numbers, time-based rolling-code authentication apps, email addresses, etc. It's your choice to use a physical key, even if it might technically be the most secure of the options.

Security is always a trade off with convenience.

GP seems to not understand the point of 2FA. If you can simply call up customer support and maneuver you way back into a locked account, then so can the "bad guys". Any information they have about you can be found by a determined attacker... hence, the "something you have" approach.

That's an unfortunate limitation. I'm able to bring out that side of me without any chemical assistance at all.
as an anecdotal data point, my wife has a phd in a relevant field. her dissertation involved the lipid nanoparticles used by the pfizer vaccine as a delivery mechanism.

in her words no one really knows how the lipid nanoparticles actually work, and it is much too soon to be forcing this onto the public, and thats just the delivery mechanism. so you have a novel mRNA vaccine, with a novel delivery mechanism, and very little long term safety data. she does not feel like these have been tested to the same standard as other vaccines, we are at the point where if this is mandated for our children we will probably move somewhere they are not.
> although, we'll know this because of the hidden dislikes

That’s exactly the problem, though. Nobody hides the like bar unless they expect a bad rating, so a hidden like bar might as well just be all red (people tend to assume the worst).

No matter what your view is on this (harassment or genuine negative sentiment, it doesn’t matter) an optional like bar might as well be mandatory for all the good it does.
I'm doing the same thing. First a repo is setup in GitHub using the GitHub provider, when that is done, the base configuration for Flux is added in there and then the lifecycle on that is going to ignore future changes.

Next, an AWS account is generated and then a CIDR is read from Netbox. That is used to create the VPC and subnets, and after that an EKS cluster is created. Next the Kubernetes provider is used to install everything needed for Flux, and it is pointed to the GitHub repo that was setup earlier.

At this point the team that wanted a dedicated Kubernetes cluster can just put their charts and manifests in the github repo and it is automatically deployed.
Good idea. I just checked and I don't see anything for sale or recently for sale. And I rotated my password for good measure. I can still login, I just can't buy or sell anything.

I got a flurry of what looked to me like phishing emails 'from eBay' right before my account was suspended...they claimed to cancel my bids on a bunch of old, long over auctions, with the call to action asking me to click on link with a URL referencing a local DLL.

So yah, something fishy is going on, but I can't help eBay figure it out if they just disable my account and make themselves unreachable. Is this what ghosting feels like?
This article was about risks to mothers and fetuses/babies once the pregnancy was started, and how the “35 is teh old” means that moms slightly over that get way more care than those slightly under, ironically resulting in better outcomes for women just over 35 than those just under, not about the risks of not becoming pregnant at all.

And that too isn’t always quite so simple…

Me at 38: this is just not going to happen, but we have wonderful nieces and nephews, and La Vida DINK is pretty awesome, actually

Me at 39: looks like things are shutting down, hello menopause…

Me at 40: Happy accident!

Nothing quite like being able to snicker as the junior doctor in his 20s nattered on about the benefits of natural birth for third and fourth pregnancies after presenting the c-section order from my gyno (who has her only in her late 30s), and who hopefully got a good talking-to from his boss, who had her kid at 41 and ended up doing my c-section.

> Is there a word for this new world where we find ourselves without the ability to appeal our problems to human rationality

How about a term like "millennial business ethics"?

Seriously.

I know some will take this as an insult. I don't offer it in that way. Hear me out for a minute.

The generation that grew up without the internet was just as sophisticated --if not more in some areas-- than millennials. I have news for you, we were doing pretty amazing things with computers and hardware in the 80's an 90's and very little of it was about tricking people to click on ads. Go back and look at AI books from that era and you will find pretty much everything being done today...we just didn't have the hardware and the speed.

Excuse the digression. Growing up without the internet and with conventional brick-and-mortar, in-person businesses meant that person-to-person relationships were important. Nobody --nobody-- from my generation would seriously consider running a business where you absolutely ghost your customers and users. That's just unthinkable. That is not the way human beings related to each other in any pursuit.

However, for a generation who's reality has been looking at a screen and clicking buttons far more so than engaging with other humans in person, the idea of not bothering with real person-to-person problem solving might just be perfectly logical and sensible. Why bother? You can do everything with buttons on a touchscreen. Except, you can't.

To me this is a cultural problem. I have often imagine that some of the people who built these companies had the social skills and maturity of a brick. I know this isn't entirely accurate. Yet, how else does one explicitly make these choices? I can excuse social ineptitude as a sign of the time. The alternative would be to make such a choice while knowing just how harmful it could be. That is pure evil.

They have built mechanisms where destroying someone's business overnight, with no path to having a proper person-to-person business discussion, is deemed normal and acceptable. Talk to people who's lives were turned upside-down by the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google and you'll learn just how horrific this kind of thing can be on the receiving end of the algorithms.

On this planet, today, if these three companies ban your from using their services, you do not exist. Period. Try running a business without using these channels (and their associated properties) for marketing and delivery and see how well you can do.

I am not a big government guy at all, quite to the contrary. However, I have, for some time, felt that this particular issue is one that needs truly intrusive government intervention. Companies of this scale and importance should not be able to kill your business on any given Monday and just ghost you forever. That is just plain wrong. And evil.

Shrödinger's moderation. NSO has this magical zero-knowledge technology that:

- When questioned about a specific malevolent client misusing their data, they cannot be held accountable because the client is running the ops and NSO has no access.

- When asked how they ensure that clients in general don't go rogue and misuse (i.e. human rights & international law abuse) their service, they assure you they monitor them and turn off their access.

> Powers of 2 tend to be superior for more factors. Four weeks means we can easily reason about halves and quarters of months. Five weeks means we can only easily reason about fifths of months.

Sure, but the nice 4 week period is not actually anywhere close to a lunar month, so the "groupings of 4 weeks" part makes sense because 4 is a nice number, but the "7 days to a week because 4 of them will add up to a lunar month" thing is just not even close. We're not talking about something like leap seconds where the drift is slow relative to a human lifespan. 28 days is a whole day and a half shorter than a lunar month.
No, but you keep harping on it. What gives?
oh I think peritext is "automerge" with formatting? which is referenced by OP. OP calls it a "json-based CRDT", which is true for automerge, but that description may be confusing: JSON is the "storage/(transport?) datastructure", the "materialized datastructure" for automerge is plain text. Note that one of the creators of peritext (martin kleppmann) is also creator of automerge.

The submission topic is misleading.

The issue is that someone is complaining that Youtube is auto-deleting their comments.

Unless you know someone inside Youtube who has the technical knowledge and access to dig into this there is no way to know exactly what happened to your account: how your account's auto-deletion state got triggered.

It could be due to some completely different reason not related to the content of their posts being remarks against the Youtube change with regard to downvotes.

Maybe the comments were simply too repetitive in their content, and triggered a mechanism against repetitive posts (being predicated on the hypothesis that repetitiveness is an earmark of spam).

Or maybe the comments used offensive language; could be that YT has some mechanism to put serial posters of comments that use certain words on ice for a while.

If you look into the Youtube support forum, a large number of people have or have had this problem.

It may resolve itself if that person just stops commenting for about a week.

My gut feeling is that the combination of typestates and stackless coroutines (really: CSP) would make for a kick-ass driver design. It's pretty solid for the toys I've designed for OpenGLES-2-class drivers. My gut feeling is that a lot of the command-buffer shenanigans in Vulkan, Metal, and DX45035+ come from trying to make reasoning about driver development tractable, while also not making the users' lives awful.

During the peak of the pandemic I was still going to my office at Oxford University. However, this other institution I'm potentially joining has much more relaxed safety measures.

I think having a low-density office is a must even if there is no pandemics. I want to be productive, and I don't want to be surrounded by tens of coughing people during the flu season. It's just commonsense.

Made this soda can holder mug with handle (that probably insulates decently with the infill airgaps) for my friend who likes memes and drinks way too much diet pepsi

https://imgur.com/a/DEWjDCx

Made a rough coffee mug with an internal diameter less than a millimeter greater than a soda can's circumference. Then smoothed and added the "Bepis" texture in blender.

In blender, started with some sculpting, then used the displacement modifier with a texture of a repeating image file and remapped the UV Map spherically with a tilt. It's easier than it sounds!

(Could have used blender for the whole thing, but I'm just more used to OpenSCAD, so used that for the base cup)

I've used this same UV mapping of textures for various christmas ornaments I'm making for this holiday season: can get some cool snowflake-ish patterns.
