Many of our parents had better lives overall despite less education, fewer hours worked, shorter commuting distance, etc.

Yes, tech is better than most other jobs, but most tech jobs just give you the middle class life many people had 20-30 years ago (aside from the tech gadgets that didn’t exist 20-30 years ago that even the poor have now). In terms of large expenses and free time rather than gadgets, we’re no better than the middle class of the last generation.

Which is and should be disappointing given that it’s one of the best jobs available.

I always thought the reason for this is that you can't just dump any half-baked crap into the kernel repo, it needs to have a certain level of quality. Its just cheaper that way, and there is no back-and-forth discussing issues for several months. But maybe I'm wrong?

Strange. SQLite runs most of the world but I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread once.

90%+ of software products could easily get by with SQLite as a data persistence mechanism if the developers can be brought to a state of humility regarding the scale of their projects.

I'm seeing comments in here talking about 200 vs 20 milliseconds. You know what's even faster? Putting the DB engine in-proc and dropping the network from the equation altogether. With NVMe storage, you can reliably complete SQLite transactions in tens to hundreds of microseconds with the appropriate journaling mode enabled. You'll never get this kind of latency bound from something that lives in another process or computer.

No, they have reproducible builds.

Everything else you said apply even more to other apps, not sure why you think Signal is more suspicious in that regard. But with reproducible builds and the .apk they have on their website, you can check that the source matches it every time you update, which is not something you can do with most other apps.
The goal of these sites is normally to be as profitable as possible. If they achieve that goal at the cost of pissing off "a bunch of geeks", I don't think they'll care.

I'm 30, and I'm going to learn coding at YouTube, and it is how to code HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, Apache, and MySQL. Nothing tied together what the heck to do.
I could tell a similar story from 2015. Worked at a MySQL shop where we had several big clusters with bi-directional replication between two "masters", and used failover between them if anything died. Also replicated to a 3rd node which was read only (used for huge queries, backups etc). Sounds ok, but our developers were not good at writing SQL or designing schemas, and our ops team didn't have any DBAs. So all of the problems were our own fault. But a new senior engineering hire told us that Postgres would fix everything because MySQL was a shitshow. He demonstrated amazing benchmarks on a specific database we were having issues with. But OMG once we tried to get replication working... Bloody awful. Major internal fighting ensued. Another engineer decided to build a clean MySQL and tune it using best practices, and demonstrated comparable performance to the Postgres demo. That was it for Postgres, and a major project kicked off to fix the MySQL problems (switch to innodb, turn on GTIDs, fix bad SQL that was breaking replication, use row based replication, better indexes, monitoring, actual metrics from the underlying hardware etc). Who'd have thought you had to spend time on your databases? Crazy right?

> with alternatives that just happen not to be GPL (e.g. they have similar thoughts on LLVM/clang)

LLVM/clang is worse than just GPL, as far as I understand the design of GCC is intentionally horribly bad to make it painful to integrate with a proprietary tool chain. Of course this means that things like refactoring support end up being basically impossible to build on GCC, so people move to clang out of necessity.
It does change the perception though. Compare "This company is taking away all the great inventions this poor developer came up with" against "The company is retaining those ideas which the developer copied from them".
Well Matrix isn't as old as XMPP yet, so no one could have possibly hosted a Matrix server for decades, but I've hosted Synapse for 5 years now and steadily getting more family/friends on that instance.

No problems so far and performance has been steadily getting better. There was a low period when performance was not up to par about two years ago, but ever since that's been fixed, it's been smooth sailing.

In my opinion, both Postgres and MySQL have their places. While I chose Postgres for most of my projects, some 3rd party software just work better with MySQL because they are written for MySQL first, then ported to Postgres. For example, Hive Metastore still experiences some edge-case bugs when running with Postgres.

I would not choose MariaDB for any new projects though, since it's no longer 100% compatible with MySQL, yet I don't see it bringing any game-changing advantage.
WSL is great if you want/need a full Linux environment. It is quite heavy and probably overkill if all you want is to use some coreutil commands from the Windows terminal.

You are not making the distinction between objective value of fitness trackers (they can measure speed, pace, heart rate, SpO2...), which allows for actionable recourse (I am getting worse/stagnating/improving in this particular area), and sociological/psychological value they are providing.

I think it'd be hard to say measuring something in order to improve on it is useless: and most of the smart devices allow one to extract exactly that value.

Now, I wouldn't be the one to discredit social and psychological value for any smart devices, because they can be very real too, but it's definitely obvious that we should look for alternative solutions to those problems at the same time.

For context, picking on Clojure because it too is a nice, niche language, https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%...

But in fact the long term decline Google Trends gives for Mathematica and Clojure also shows for plenty of other languages, including mainstream ones such as JavaScript and Java.

I'm not sure what the explanation is, but I'd be wary of relying on Google Trends to make predictions about the life expectancy of any particular language.

You're right. I dropped a zero by mistake, I was seeing 0.0012 (0.12%) but that's not what was being written.

The usual credible figures I see for IFR are between 0.1% and 0.3% - higher figures tend to be using bad methodologies like including estimates from the very first days of the pandemic when people were trying to estimate IFRs using random Chinese media reports, etc. If you restrict yourself to more rigorous methodologies and sample sizes, IFR falls a lot.

As for Florida being a "bloodbath", lol. That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Nowhere has been a bloodbath, and if there's one thing that's been consistently true about Covid data it's that you can make anywhere seem worse or better than anywhere else by choosing what to compare against. Use all the data and Florida seems pretty good, especially as Europe is busy proving that vaccines appear to have accomplished nothing at all in terms of total numbers, despite the many claims of efficacy.
Plenty of companies aren't hindered by the Linux license as they are not required to give you the source most of the time, they just point you to their SoC vendor. Or worse, they just don't use Linux and use BSD or Windows Embedded instead.

I don't see this as a valid point.
We use mysql in prod at work and frankly the reason I didn't bother bringing up the mysql vs postgresql debate is simply high availability.

We have a multi-master mysql database based on percona's pxc.

And it works beautifully... sometimes a node crashes and it's no big deal.

Meanwhile in pgland it's quite a landmine of solutions, each of which seems to be studied accurately. And there is a constellation of other solutions (extensions or posygresql distributions) that maybe fit your use case, maube don't.

Postgres still needs tweaking for getting the query planner to do the right thing, and you can't easily tell it what to do.

I ended up proxying my queries with a preprocessor that uses special comment syntax - e.g. `-- $disable_seqscan` - which wraps query execution in sets of enable_seqscan off and on again, to force PG to use the index. All databases can have performance that falls off a cliff when changing statistics make them choose a less optimal join order (join order is normally the biggest thing that affects performance), but PG is particular in not having much flexibility to lock in or strongly hint the plan.

MySQL, on the other hand, is predictably bad and has STRAIGHT_JOIN and other friends which make things much easier to tweak.

I don't see the contradiction. Yes, Romans referred to the region as Syria and that also reflected the cultural/political scape for much of the time. Assyria did span the entire region, and even during the Roman era their dialect was spoken by most people (including Judeans).

Choice of names is political in the same region now too, and the games leverage the fact that there are many ancient place names making contradictory "claims."

I am a lay person but IMO you are confronted to some hard challenges:

- Where do you attach your tether on the targeted satellite as each of the ten of thousands satellites in orbit is not built in a standardized way?

- What is the risk that the targeted satellite desegregates when pulled down by the tether and debris stay in orbit for a long time? Particularly antennas and solar panels?

- What is the risk that in the dragged down procedure, your satellite/tether combo endangered another satellite?

- How do you plan to recognize the attachment point, and to maneuver around the satellite to reach it? For example the attachement point could be "buried" in an unreachable location because of antennas or solar panels?

No, that's not what they are saying. Slavery predates written records and was perpetrated by many cultures. It continues to exist in Africa (Mali, Niger, Sudan, etc), in India (bonded labour), in the middle east (migrant workers) and other places. When one includes sexual slavery and trafficking, it's virtually everywhere.

My primary issue is that you guys did have other options. You did. I saw the RFC thread. About 2/3s were useless "oh no" or "oh yes" comments, but about a third had suggestions and feedback, some good feedback, on how to make the stateful function API not as jarring and not as weird. You simply ignored it all, since you already had an API in mind (and perhaps already did most of the work, I don't know)

That you thought (correctly) that an eslint package of rules was necessary to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot with the gun you have provided should have been a hint that it's not good API.
> the TikTok Algorithm Knew My Sexuality Better Than I Did,” reads one in a series of headlines about people marveling at the app’s X-ray of their inner lives.

I think its disingenuous to describe it like that. The concept is so simple that it’s absolutely mundane. The app isn’t X-raying your life. It’s just measuring how long you look at a video, and if you press like or comment. It’s brain dead simple, and the only reason so many are astonished by it is because they assume that spending 20 min looking at half naked people of one or the other gender won’t affect the suggestions “because I didn’t press like or comment” but obviously it can still tell that after being shown the same content for 20 min straight, your still not scrolling by, and will keep suggesting it to you because of that.

Why would anyone keep "+website" after obtaining your address for illicit purposes?
> I do think that's a material risk - however broadly, do you think that such a scheme would make ecosystem better or worse?

I don't think it would be easy to cheat if:

- tested implementation is open source: it would make cheating too obvious,

- tests are constantly updated: it would make cheating too cumbersome and

- tests include a randomization: it would not always work.

So, satisfying these points would drastically increase trust on the test corpus and tested program.

On my machine? I use my own hacked kernel on my machine! In production? Only if tests indicate my implementation is as good as the best ones available.
I just don’t see how we can keep a good conscious and turn away these people. Their countries aren’t poor because of pure luck of the draw, they are poor because European powers have exploited and extorted these countries. They remain poor because of neocolonialism. They are getting poorer because of climate change, caused in a large part because of the European industrial revolution.

Most migrants don’t leave because it’ll be a great adventure or on a whim, they leave because there is nothing left for them or they want a better life for their family.

The postgres team is advocating that compression should be applied the file system, and they are correct. But this won‘t solve the problem if filesystem compression is not widely available. ZFS and BTRFS are not widely used, the first one because of licenses the last one because of bad pr in the past.

'Apple paid millions after iPhone repair techs posted a customer’s nude photos to Facebook' https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/7/22522560/apple-repair-mult...

'college student known as Jane Doe, who sent her iPhone to a major Apple repair contractor called Pegatron Technology Service. While the phone was being repaired at Pegatron’s California facility, two technicians uploaded sexually explicit photos and a video from her phone to her Facebook account. Court documents say the files were uploaded in a way that suggested Doe had posted them herself'

'Apple pushed successfully for its name to be removed from the filings, and it’s referred to only as a “customer” in the complaint.'

'The repair services were performed by Pegatron's subsidiary, PTSI, pursuant to a Repairs Services Agreement ("RSA") between Customer, Pegatron and PTSI. '

Cour filling suggest "Jane Doe, who sent her iPhone to a major Apple repair contractor called Pegatron" is misleading. Jane Doe didnt pick Pegatron out of the blue, she send her broken phone where Apple support told her to.

Later in the article another Geek Squad case is mentioned https://www.nbcnews.com/technolog/customer-sues-best-buy-all...
