I've considered building something like this to allow for us to update customer software while it's serving users.

In my proposals, there would be a simple application-aware http proxy process that we'd maintain and install on all environments. It would handle relaying public traffic to the appropriate final process on an alternate port. There would be a special pause command we could invoke on the proxy that would buy us time to swap the processes out from under the TCP requests. A second resume command would be issued once the process is running and stable. Ideally, the whole deal completes in ~5 seconds. Rapid test rollbacks would be double that. You can do most of the work ahead of time by toggling between an A and B install path for the binaries, with a third common data path maintained in the middle (databases, config, etc)

With the above proposal, the user experience would be a brief delay at time of interaction, but we already have some UX contexts where delays of up to 30 seconds are anticipated. Absolutely no user request would be expected to drop with this approach, even in a rollback scenario. Our product is broad enough that entire sections of it can be a flaming wasteland while other pockets of users are perfectly happy, so keeping the happy users unbroken is key.

Nearly all big sites just use ffmpeg and no hardware acceleration.
unless you're running your own servers, you don't own nothing ... you still going to be tied to a 3rd party that does that for you. This is what the web3 crowd don't want to understand, they will keep telling you : big tech ruined the internet bla bla bla switch to us because we are decentralized and you own your own data, ok ... but if anyone wants to use it or access it they need to go through us
I'm sorta terrified of this. I know more then one rider that broke bones, or got other injuries from the official version of these just randomly conking out. A DIY version made by a lot of people seems even more likely.

Also seems super inconvenient to move around. The XR was already annoying to take into shops as it was heavy and long. This is heavier and longer. Though the extra weight might smooth out the ride a bit. Surprised he went for a smaller tire. I feel like a larger one would take bumps better.

Yeah, but look at puppy for example - it just eats what you give it. (If anything, the makers of that product should introduce a bit of pickiness tbh). The small child makers should really take an example from puppy - AI is a nice way to get some behaviors trained up, but over-doing it (e.g. in the "what to eat" module) can be just as bad as not enough (compare brine shrimp for the problems of a no AI approach).

It was always meant for people to be patrons of someone, like artists were back in the Renaissance. It's simply a way for people to be paid for their work, and what better way than exclusivity? That's basically the same as being able to use software only if it's paid for, like most SaaS these days.
I used to love code reviews when I worked for Motorola in 2004, it was doing wonders, we observed showing up "phantom developer" where mix of inputs from different people was causing new look on code.
Those were Fagan-like code inspections. A lot of paperwork (we were doing formal reviews on paper, with one person in role of reader), but it was working. This whole paperwork was forcing people to follow rules and it seemed to work (but was sometimes very painful).
Latter in other companies I found out that code reviews are in most cases bullshit placeholders, and in many cases are only for making some developers feeling more important, or other devs not loosing contact with code. I saw most stupid things in code moved to position of examples how to write code only because of code reviews...
Good code reviews are doing wonders, but as I can see without very strong culture in dev teams and whole company those code reviews don't add anything useful. And this strong culture is difficult. From observations it seems that this is easier to build in team culture to work with "master/main only" without branches and code reviews, than to build culture of code reviews which are working.
From my observations most of comments in code reviews are variations on "I would code it in different way", or "why you are doing it in this way/I don't like your variable name" of course usually written in less direct way.
Last year problems with Log4J2 showed that even in OpenSource peer reviews don't help. Good developers let to introduce to one of most used libraries something what never should be introduced there. For sure variable names were nice, but somehow whole "why we are adding this" was lost, because devs were looking only for some easy to spot things.
So.... yep, good code reviews are important, but my guess is that most of code reviews are only to make some devs happier that they still know what happens in code, and that variables are named in acceptable by them ways....
It's the human tendency to optimise the quantifiable and ignore the unquantified. (The unquantified is often partially quantifiable, but that would take effort, and the statistics aren't currently on the dashboard…)

> When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
I'm a daily rider of a Onewheel XR. I've got a few thousand miles on mine, and I do a ton of trail riding here in Colorado. I'm pretty obsessed with these things.

All that aside, I would advise anyone who wants to try going this route to watch their ass.

A standard Future Motion developed Onewheel is an extremely dangerous device. I always, always wear a helmet on mine. If you wear a helmet, the device pretty much stops being fatally dangerous, and just becomes a source of rather mild injuries if/when you fall. I rarely fall on mine now, and when I do, I don't get injured due to standard skateboarding/mountain biking pads. All that being said, FM put a TON of energy and learning into their firmware. A onewheel that cruises on a smooth surface is relatively straightforward compared to one that can be reliably ridden in rough conditions, handle bumps/voltage sags/etc gracefully, and just be super durable as well.

I could definitely see an open source onewheel eventually becoming on par with FM's XR. But if you're an early adopter of this thing, be ready to fall, A LOT.
Increasing service is very difficult to do. For example, before the pandemic I would take the red line in LA which would be packed to the brim by the time it rolled into downtown LA, not enough room to even turn around while standing. During my commuting I would do a lot of reading about transit and about the redline in particular.

To increase the capacity of the red line would take a lot of work that would not be cheap. For instance, the length of the trains could be increased, but to do that you have to construct new stations, since the train is already the length of the entire platform, at least the ones used for rush hour. LA has actually lengthened platforms that are on the surface before to accomodate longer light rail trains, but underground this is so much more difficult.

You could lower headways from the 10 minutes they are currently at, but this becomes a physics problem fast. One issue is a lack of turnback stations at the ends of the line so the train has to come to a stop then 'reverse' at the end. Another issue is a subway with a train works like a pneumatic tube, there is a volume of air moving that needs sufficient ventilation, which is why you see these big ventilation grates on sidewalks where subways run below, and to run more frequent trains would require significant upgrades to the ventilation systems along the entire line.
Yep - so there all these claims about no censorship or gatekeeping etc are clearly bullshit.
Exactly, these folks were either in the right place at the right time, or got "help". Buying a home at all these days is getting harder and harder, I have no doubt OP's rent is higher than their mortgages.
So much this.

Things I need my OS to do are: run my apps (office/browser/games), connect my devices (printers/game controllers/displays), basic file operations (copy/paste/delete)

And while doing this be: secure, reliable, out of my way.

All these adding people/chat/weather widgets "innovations" (looking at you, msft) make me throw my hand up in the air and ask "why", I wish they would spend that time and energy on security and reliability instead.

I was told that there’s a secret that only rich people know, and that’s that money does not make you happy. I’m excluding things like being homeless or not being able to eat, obviously there’s a necessary amount anyone needs to feel good. But beyond that it doesn’t change things. Otherwise, rich, famous, successful people would never be depressed, but a lot of them are.

This articulated for me one of my biggest frustrations with traditional 1:1s with managers I've had throughout my career: by these people I want to be coached, not mentored.

Most 1:1s have been driven by me, at the explicit behest of the manager. "I'm here for you" and "this is your time" are/were common phrases. I found this particularly annoying as a new grad when I really didn't know what I didn't know and just wasn't getting a lot of mileage out of those conversations.
Exactly. The NYTimes is the worst, it’s like the paternalistic dad-figure of the media.

In this case I think they’re right; omicron is a super spreading variant that is less lethal and impossible to control. Their audience is sick of lockdowns and employers are tightening the screws.

The audacity. The NYT have been constantly supportive of more restrictions and barely asked a single journalistic question with regards to if they actually work and the impacts of them. “No Way To Grow Up”? You don’t say!

Here’s a thought with less hot air than the NYT: If Covid doesn’t impact kids and the vaccine barely moves the needle on transmission, how about let them go to school, remove the masks, stop jabbing them etc and let them live a normal life. It’s disgusting what we have done to them and the US seems to be one of the worst offenders.
> The point is you just dismiss them

This is pure projection: I was pointing out that millions of people's daily life contradicted the absolute statement you made. If you'd said “doesn't work for many people” I would have agreed: it's no secret that the U.S. has heavily subsidized car-centric design for the last century and there are many people living in neighborhoods which don't even have sidewalks, much less transit or bike paths.

This has also encouraged many people to think that they must drive even if it's not a great choice: in the city I live in, it's not uncommon for people to cling to the habits they acquired growing up and trying to drive everywhere even though it means they're paying considerably more to sit in traffic while their friends who biked or took the train wonder why they're late.

There isn't a single answer here but the important thing is remembering that these are choices. Giving private car owners exclusive use of public land might be a popular choice but it's not a law of nature, and when it doesn't work well it's reasonable to question whether it's the right design for the context. There's no reason to think that the same answers will be true in rural areas, suburbs, and dense urban cores.
As someone who invests in psychedelic-assisted therapy companies and follows the space pretty closely, I am shaking my head at some of the comments here. A lot of anecdotal stories wrapped up as "wise" warnings against psychedelic use. Recreational use does not apply in this clinical setting context, at all. Nor can it be extrapolated back to a recreational scenario. Granted, the title of this article reads click bait-y and I can see why there were visceral reactions. Additionally, the article lacks some context which I'll try to provide.

I've been following Compass Pathways for about a year now, and what I can tell you is this:

1. The purpose of this study was NOT to prove psilocybin has no deleterious effects in healthy subjects. It's purpose is as a supplementary/complementary study to their ongoing clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Basically, the more "ammo" they have surrounding psilocybin's safety the better, as they are headed into meetings with the FDA on their upcoming phase 3 trials.

2. The second purpose of this study was to prove that one therapist can administer doses to multiple patients at the same time. Cost is a huge, ongoing concern for commercialization in this space. To have a therapist watch over one patient for a 6-8 hour trip makes this treatment difficult to scale, and this gives Compass possibly a little more leeway and broadening in their treatment protocol.

3. Mystical type experiences are currently believed to bring about a greater chance of positive outcome in patients treated with psychedelic-assisted therapy. This is NOT dictated by what you thought was a "mystical" experience - it is determined by the MEQ (Mystical Experience Questionnaire) that is sometimes administers in these studies.

4. "Healthy" subjects - please keep in mind that in this context, the definition is narrow and shouldn't be interpreted in any way other than what the trials' inclusion/exclusion criteria listed. In these studies, it usually means no history of mental illness, ESPECIALLY schizophrenia. Beware of applying "healthy" to any other marker.

5. I urge people here to read Compass' recently completed phase IIb study on treatment-resistant depression (= patients who've failed at least 2 antidepressants). There absolutely are mild adverse - serious adverse events that occur, even in controlled and supportive settings. Please take this current studies statement as strictly as it reads "The results also showed there were no short or long term detrimental effects on thinking patterns or processing of emotions".

Unlikely. The evidence from kids who get sick enough to miss a lot of school is that at worst it takes three years for them to be indistinguishable from those with uninterrupted school attendance. Even unstructured homeschoolers, who have little to no explicit instruction of any kind, are only on average a grade level behind average children[1]. The last historically comparable school closures, for the 1918 flu pandemic, had no detectable long run effects[2].

>Green potassium ferrioxalate solution exposed to light will turn yellow, and then brown, releasing carbon dioxide in the process. After keeping them in the dark for some time, they become green again. Adding small amounts of oxalic acid greatly helps to speed up the process.

I understand why they would turn yellow, but how can they turn back to green when keeping them in the dark? They absorb carbon dioxide passively somehow?
Our taxation system is already set up for these kinds of transactions, and we definitely should be putting more money into teacher salaries and education.

Actually there are TWO incompatible accounts of creation in Genesis, one in Genesis 1 and one in Genesis 2.

Genesis 1: the world initially all water. God has to dry it to create land. Genesis 2: the world initially all land. God has to add water.

Genesis 1 creation order: water, land, plants, animals, humans (male and female at the same time, most reasonable reading is many humans all at once). Genesis 2 creation order: land, water, Adam alone, plants, animals, Eve alone.
Right, and I’m suggesting they are, in fact, quite analogous in this context. If there’s latent, unsatisfied demand for healthcare, and you increase the supply, you shouldn’t be surprised or disappointed if the new supply is consumed. More people are getting the healthcare they wanted!

An undesirable infotainment system doesn't make a car disposable though. As long as the intra-car systems function for the design life of the components, an uncompetitive infotainment just reduces the potential resale value.

The majority of wealthy people get there by starting small businesses or slowly piling up investments via a consistently high income such that they have a surplus of capital coming in regularly (eg dentist, accountant, doctor, real-estate agent, software developer, psychologist, nurse practitioner, pharmacist, veterinarian, lawyer, and dozens of other higher paying careers).

Those aren't primarily luck, even though it obviously plays a role in every path.
