poked around a bit of that from a previous job, here's what I remember:

1. there's a control process and worker processes

2. on upgrade, control process launches new worker processes from the new binary

3. requests are drained from old worker processes

4. most of the time nginx request handlers allocate from a per-request allocation pool, so requests mostly don't share memory

5. for the cases where there are global states, there's a separate shared memory pool that you need to allocate from (which is kind of hard to work if you are not using built-in nginx primitives)

Ask HN: What top notch stuff are you looking forward to from Apple this year?
Here's the situation on Day 1 return from vacation in my district:

- ~20% of the teachers at one school out sick

- classrooms being combined due to low staff. Some classrooms combined across grade levels.

- Substitutes in many classrooms. Administration staff being used as substitutes.

This is all before we are passed the median incubation period for New Year's Eve infections, so I would expect staffing levels to continue to deteriorate. (Also keep in mind that some teachers will be out because their children are sick, so kids being infected this week will lead to future staffing pressures.)

In that context, I'm glad you mentioned snow days. Our district is really small; many kids walk to school. However, many teachers & other staff live in other districts and so do not walk to work. When it snows here, the schools generally close on the basis of teachers & staff not being able to make it to school. Parents do not usually throw tantrums on those snow days. This week/month is going to be like snow days in that school staff will not be able to make it to work. Parents are trying to ignore that reality and not being realistic about making alternate plans.
I'm sure von Neumann might have said something similar for 50 years before his death. It might hit different when you're told you have 30 days left if you're lucky.

Something I think about sometimes is that death is the only thing that we all share, the only thing every organic entity has ever done and will do; indeed, not all of us are even born, not all of us even make it out of the womb, but all of us, every one, dies.

It seems to me that the death state is actually the natural state—life is the outlier, the extreme, unnatural state. Death is home.
This is still really bad advice. There was a recent instance not a year ago where folks were stuck with 3 feet of snow at night on an interstate interchange. Yes there was a hotel not a mile from where they were but getting out of your car to cross the interstate in 3 feet of snow is a great way to get hit or get lost in the blizzard and get some good hypothermia. Compare this to staying in their car where they were picked up by highway patrol in a snow cat a few hours later and taken to a shelter. And its not some stroke of luck either, highway patrol knows to go look for people in their cars with the snow cat and do it nearly every year. They do not know to look for you in a drift of snow over the side of the highway.

Of course you can block it, what a silly statement. Remember that many of the participants of this forum were alive when the 'net was but a glint in the eye of some future greybeards, things worked just as well/badly as they do now and they can be made to work just as well/badly in a disconnected country. Also realise that the situation we're talking about - a country on the brink of war - has more important issues than whether its inhabitants can get on the 'net. Would such a block inconvenience the populace? Sure it would. Would it cause some of them to riot? Sure it would. Would it cause the country to be destroyed? No way, it wouldn't. Riot police would quickly put an end to those internet riots like they've done to many other riots in many countries. Is it possible to keep network connectivity for the happy few while blocking it for the rest of the country? Yes, even that is possible, have a look at the self-reliant "Juche" [1] paradise of North Korea for an example of such. Assuming that the guerilla financier is not one of those anointed few he'd be sadly out of luck in trying to buy that crate of Kalashnikov's without tangible funds.

More like taking forced brides from among the desirable female captives. I'm sure many in that situation would prefer death. Arguably, sparing the male children their life dominated by genocidal vengeance is the more compassionate action.

American society depends on personal responsibility in the aspects of healthcare, retirement, and employment.

Your child's education is usually an honorable exception to this in that it's totally government run and borderline volunteer-run, but funding for that is not adequate to the point where you can reasonably expect it to continue as usual in the midst of a global pandemic.

The sooner you can come to terms with this, the better will be the outcome for your child. I recommend looking up resources on sharing childcare and teaching with other parents in addition to your kids' teachers.
My name is also Peter Norton and so in the 90s I was introduced to this Peter F. Norton because he had bought the art of, and stayed in touch with one of the cofounders of the internet 1.0 company where I worked (whose name was also Peter).

He said that he was happy because he had always had art in his life, so when he sold his company and embarked on a life as an art collector (he was the premier collector of southern California art for a while iirc) he was very happy with his life.

One time in Georgetown Seattle, the guy who ran the fantagtaphics store recognized my name. For a while the other Peter F Norton was talking with MS (remember when they stole the disk defragmenter and didn't pay for it?), and this guy, he ran an art gallery near what is now the art museum, and Peter would apparently budget to just buy a bunch of art from his gallery each visit. So his art collection was always a passion and always a part of him.
Oracle did/does a lot of this and for some time the DBMS as operating system was their mantra. It works quite well, I've written schedulers running in the dbms, socket coms from the dbms and so on over the years.
Hey Scott, I like how you're generalizing PhoneToNote to support multiple note-taking services. I have a project Go Note Go where I also aim to support whatever note-taking service the user uses as the backend. We currently support Roam, RemNote, Mem, Notion, and IdeaFlow.
https://davidbieber.com/projects/go-note-go/

It'd be great to standardize the interop with note-taking services so people like us can write applications once and easily have them work with all the note-taking platforms out there. E.g. I'd love for someone to be able to write a spaced repetition app once, and immediately have it support any of the dozens of note-taking apps without needing special handling for each one.

> Covid has been decreasing in severity with each new major variety.

That’s not accurate, delta was a marked increase in severity. Omicron is reduced in severity relative to delta, but it’s probably on par with the original strain once prior immunity is accounted for.
The Israelites were one Canaanite people among others. The reason they are the main characters in our history books is because of survivorship bias. Other people had just as elaborate myths and legend (and a lot of material were shared among many groups) but their material was lost to history. The Israelites and proto-Israelites that existed around 1000 BC were most likely also sacrificing children to the god Moloch. The story of how Abraham almost sacrificed his son and other hints in the Old Testament indicates as much. The practice of child sacrifice went out of fashion over the centuries and the Israelites revised their holy texts, eventually outlawing child sacrifice. The impetus for the theological change may have been greater contact with cultures that would have been seen as more sophisticated, such as the Greeks and the Achaemenids, whose gods did not require that extreme sacrifices.
The pressures, alas, are merciless on everybody, and it seems like they all cave eventually. Even august science journals are doing it increasingly.

We get to take a different approach here because the economics are different, which is sort of a miracle if you think about it.

That is a highly political, opinionated, and pessimistic take. You can just as easily say that the "pendulum swing" hard left has been causing our current issues, and that at least a balancing out could be a natural and needed correction.

Unfortunately Camus chose the most absurd way to die. It would have been informative if we could see how he lived out his last days with imminent death clearly on his horizon.
No, object store works better with a small number of large object than with a large number of small object.

1kb object would be terribly inefficient if you have too many of them. It's slow even with regular file system, copy 1 million 1kb files would take forever. For small objects, it's best to pack them into larger block before storage, like how a database does with its data.
Wow. Intel has shifted from being a leader to a follower.

It doesn't matter if this particular chip is better than that particular chip.

Apple will come up with an M2 or M2X that will be better or faster or cheaper.

Apple is focusing on its products. Make then quieter, make them faster, make them last longer, make them lighter. The M1 design goals would be tuned to that.

Seems like Intels goals are tuned to whatever beats M1.

I think the word "trust" is covering a lot of ground in this piece and the discussion here. There are a lot of different things we may or may not trust about our colleagues and ourselves.

Here's how I think about it:

* I trust my colleagues and myself to do good work to the best of their ability.
* I trust my colleagues and myself to care about the quality of their code.
* I trust my colleagues and myself to follow coding standards.

* I trust my colleagues and myself to write tests and to do manual testing when needed.
* I trust my colleagues and myself to pay attention to CI and code quality tool output and to act appropriately on that output.
* I _do not trust_ my colleagues or myself to do perfectly bug-free work all the time.
* I _do not trust_ my colleagues or myself to be able to model the entire system we are working on in their heads.
* I _do not trust_ my colleagues or myself to always come up with a complete set of tests, including all corner cases and paths through the code.
* And finally, I _do_ trust my colleagues and myself to be human, which means we are not perfect, we get tired, we get distracted, we forget things, and we make mistakes. But I _also_ trust my colleagues and myself to try to help each other avoid problems in the face of this imperfection, and one of the best ways to do this is with code review.
In that case, shouldn't it be enough for everyone to return to work? I wonder why top companies in the S&P 500 are delaying return to work then.

Clearly they must be operating under the same mysterious constraints that are keeping schools closed.

You're right that the impact of teachers is hard to measure. But we can ask whether educational outcomes would improve by paying teachers more... and my feeling is that the answer is largely no. Most of educational outcome is cultural/determined by the student and their peers rather than the teacher.

An interesting experiment would be running two cohorts of students through the same school, with same curriculum but different set of teachers. And paying one set of teachers more than the other and measuring long term outcomes. I would be interested in seeing the results of this experiment. There was already something like this done as a result of a New Jersey lawsuit, but I would have to vet whether it impacted pay of the teachers. In that case there was no improvement in educational outcomes, despite greatly increased funding for the schools.

Yes, software could have always been done remotely. But it largely hasn't... and timezones become problematic. Show me where FAANG companies are hiring remote workers en masse for US based teams? Maybe it's happening, but I certainly haven't seen any evidence of that.

I worked for a company that primarily hired on H1B, and hiring was a lot easier when pulling people from Europe/India/China due to lower comp expectations. These people were paid the same as everybody else/native US people, but just culturally were less comp sensitive. But H1Bs are highly limited in quantity, of course.

Why suggest the economy is inefficient? In areas where the market has little intervention, it's largely efficient. Though I agree there are areas where there actually needs to be more government intervention to encourage a competitive market. Competitive markets are more important than free markets for a societally beneficial outcome. One example: competitive markets require that information is freely available. Companies can profit by hiding information which disadvantages consumers (e.g. cost of healthcare procedures, cost of enterprise software etc... relies on information asymmetry to enhance margins).
Fair enough. I think small isolated societies may to some degree be able to be like that, but not any current large society.
"Sass" seems to be a critical component of the operating system. That process runs unless my model is asleep or needs a doctor. Have you heard of the sass-back algorithm? Don't let it run constantly because it loses its impact, but you can always pull it out when you need the sassing to just stop....

function sass-back (sass):
return sass

I'm not sure why, but sass-back seems to put sass into a panic. It temporarily stops all system output while it tries to restart and initiates "stare".
Yeah, culture and social contexts don't matter at all. People and and institutions that steal and lie and cheat will be able to innovate and develop at exactly the same rate and level of quality.
Would highly recommend reconsidering paper notes. Get a small notebook [0] and write down what you need. You’ll lose it and spill coffee on it but you’ll be fine. For the vast majority of things the note writing experience is what makes the difference, not the actual paper. For the rest a subscription is not for me, but to each their own.

How do you know the trails I ride on don’t allow ebikes and light electric vehicles (Onewheel falls into this category)?

You don’t, and the trails I ride on allow them. In Boulder County, that’s not the case. I ride in other counties. But thanks for the lecture, dad.

Regardless, it makes zero logical sense to ban a 2 horsepower, silent, electric motor vehicle that is lighter and slower than a mountain bike, but allow mountain bikes. It’s hippie logic: horsepower produced by human legs augmented by fancy mechanical gears and chains is “natural” enough to allow, but if it’s powered by something else, ban it before the heathens desecrate the sacred space.

Thankfully, most of Colorado is people stoked about what they are doing, instead of pissed about what others are doing. You fall into the latter category. Boulder is your kind of place. Meanwhile, I’ll be somewhere else menacing the public safety with a 25 pound vehicle with a top speed of 18 mph.
I love this conversation. If anything, I feel like I’m late to this party, and I’m not even trying to do anything that isn’t expressly allowed.

To your point about small amounts, I think that is also monetizable with fake/stolen accounts cashing in on referral and promotional “free money,” combined with widespread flip/swap scams. I wonder if patio11 could enlighten us with some hard numbers on the dollar values of attempted fraudulent purchases. I suspect that actual card swipe fraud to be high dollar items sent to dead drops, and low dollar fraud utilizing unauthorized access to others’ accounts and money transfer apps, and so-called “friendly fraud.”

On a related note, scam rap is so lit right now. I’ll just leave this right here. Teejayx6 really gets the subculture, and as a child who grew up learning how to hack in the wild 90s, he speaks truth. He may have created the subgenre, but raps about ill-gotten gains are as old as soul music.

> Have you actually used a web3 website? Once you have your wallet setup it's the most seamless login experience I've ever had.

So much of the web3 discourse involves the same two tropes:

1) "If you ignore the hard parts and only focus on the easy parts, then it looks much easier"

2) Ignoring the fact that regular old solutions are actually even more streamlined. It's not like web3 invented the concept of storing credentials and auto-filling forms. These are basic features used by hundreds of millions of end-users on a daily basis. It takes mountains of effort to get web3 just to almost reach UX parity with what we already have.

The only way web3 can feel like a better UX is if you haven't bothered to try any recent UX advancements in regular, non-web3 technologies.

> Banks, brokerages, mortgage providers, and medical entities mostly don't use oauth2 and won't use this stuff either. The world is still old school.

I work for a bank and it has nothing to do with being old school. We use exactly the same technologies as any modern startup would e.g. Serverless, Kubernetes, Cloud etc and deploy into Production with blue/green releases every week.

It's just that the user experience of our entire customer base comes first. And whilst everyone "gets" usernames, passwords, PINs, TouchID, FaceID etc they really don't understand OAuth and other federated identity approaches. Like what Google or Amazon has to do with my finances and why I have to visit their site to reset my password.

People thinking that Web3 is going to solve this problem really don't understand that it isn't a problem that needs solving.
