I used to blog a lot. I used to be active on lots of forums and they were the source of inspiration. Someone would ask a question, I'd write it out as a blog post and then keep linking to it instead of answering repeatedly. I remember writing blog posts like tweets.

Now, there are too many contents online (both good and bad), and I always felt "someone must have written about it somewhere."

A few years back, I began to write again but this time, I write for myself, family, and friends. I no longer care about who reads or visits my blog(s). I have no analytics, no comments, no nothing.

Not as frequent as 15+ years ago but now I write our family stories, collect and document things I'm inspired by, aspire to be, etc on our blog(s). I'm even writing my memoir so I can read it later in life. This is a fun one, trying to remember early/younger years friends. Write about the adventures with the friends who have died, organizing search effort for friends whom I have lost touch and then finding them in places where Internet is still a luxury. If you just sit still for a while, you began to realize your life is an adventure.

I also write a lot on physical pen/paper too. I have one special paper notebook dedicated to my daughters. It is not hidden but is usually around my desk, and I write as and when I feel like or prompted by incidents. I want it to be written in my handwriting for them to read, now and in the future.
I don't know how to play guitar, but now that I know this mnemonic maybe I should learn!
It's less a question of fault and more a question of whether developers need to be aware and look out for those gotchas. A security problem doesn't stop being a problem because your hosting provider did something vs. MySQL doing it by default.
Rotate the colors around the hue wheel in the compositor to something you can stand.
Another options is to introduce a "theme". I.e. make the colors of the product a config options. For example you can look at vuetif or material UI.

Also note that you do only have 10%. I.e. they can let you go at any time / with or without cause (regardless of your efforts).
If it was that simple don’t you think game developers would have done just that? I have worked both in and outside the games industry and it is clear to me that AAA games are magnitudes more complex than your everyday biz app.
It's a bit confusing, but if you scroll down the forum, you'll quickly discover that the issue was resolved for the OP but not for everyone else.
Fascinating, thanks for providing some clarity on that.

Isn't this just going to make the surface more alkaline by pumping the acid (co2 rich) surface layer deeper down?

Then the surface can in turn absorb more co2, but I think at the end of the day the ocean overall will have more dissolved co2 and it will become more acidic.

Am I misunderstanding something?
It would be really great for me if any of these CSS preprocessors offered a standalone command line version that didn't need npm to install. My developer blog (https://ajxs.me) is built by a homegrown static-site-generator built in Python, which reads data from a simple SQLite database. I've been looking for a suitable CSS preprocessor for a while, however the ones I can find are all totally overcooked for my needs, and nearly exclusively designed to be integrated with Node.js.
> I just buy more amazon rechargables and while it feels expensive its still a fraction of what buying non-rechargables cost over time.

Putting rechargeable batteries in a toy that will likely not need a replacement for a year or more definitely feels like a waste of money - as does knowing that 20+ rechargeable batteries have been thrown out with regular batteries and broken toys.

Unless I know I can get 8-10 uses out of them, it doesn’t seem ecologically or economically prudent to use rechargeables.

edit . Also - child != children. We have well over 100 AA and probably as many AAA batteries in various toys at any given time…
> unobservable to us except through gravitational effects

That’s how we observe it. We just don’t know what it is built from.

(On the other hand, does it really have to be built from anything? Like, can’t it be some sort of an “intrinsic” distortion of spacetime that, naturally, has an effect on the “normal” matter in the only way it can do so?)

>So until these folks clean things up where they ALREADY have full control (on the web) I'm willing to cut apple a ton of slack.

Sorry, but its easy to say that if they're not grabbing 30% of sales from YOUR small business. If you think this fight is about Facebook or Match or NY, you're missing the whole point. Those big guys can take care of themselves just fine.
From their perspective you're lacking three things: 1) credibility, 2) leverage, and 3) data.

Credibility: you're a technical founder, not a designer. Why would they listen to you?

Leverage: you do not have decision-making power on this point. The other people do not feel their position is at all threatened by your disagreement with their choice, otherwise they would not be handling this situation as they are.

Data: there's no data to support your belief; it's entirely subjective. This isn't like a technical decision where you can discuss tradeoffs like performance metrics. You could try to get data by getting user feedback, but given (1) and (2) I don't think it'd be worth it.

I think your best option right now is to realize your value to the company is not on the design side. If that's something you want to be involved in, then you need to build that credibility gradually (and be able to provide better feedback than simply "it disgusts me").

Congrats on the completion! I graduated from this program in May of 2021 after about a 15 year gap from my undergrad, coupled with two young kids, a job change, moving across the world, and military service in the middle of it!

Agree some of it was brutal, but I really enjoyed it all as a whole. The key to me getting through was being disciplined with when I would do the work / watch the lectures. I read the book Deep Work by Cal Newport just as I started the program in 2017 and I think it really helped to set me up for success here.

I'm glad it's done, and I really enjoyed some of the subjects - a couple I didn't get to cover in my undergrad - especially HPC, GA and AOS were my favorites.
I would guess it is due to labor supply going down at the price grocery stores are used to and willing to pay.

I am seeing the same story play out at many other in person businesses used to paying low wages for in person work, especially at undesirable times of the day and week.

> I guess for some strange reason the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Satoshi Omera for... Sheep Dip?

Considering Omura recieved that award for research into infections caused by roundworm parasites, I don't know if that's strictly relevant in discussing it as a treatment for SARS-cov2.

regions have generations. its the same concept just partitioned to make the working sets smaller.

there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with golangs GC. attempting to apply the solutions for the JVM to golang is fundamentally flawed and ignorant.

the languages have fundamentally different approaches to memory allocations. and the reasons behind the JVM implementations simply do not exist in golang.

the new pacer is in the works to attempt addressing many of the edge cases. https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/44167-...

you seem to lack fundamental understanding of what the actual issues in the golang runtime are with relation to its GC.
It feels like there ought to be some constitutional right to not restrict your liberties based on who your parents are. I guess there isn’t tho.
I have no QA testing and the code I maintain haven’t had a customer production bug for 5+ years. And we are taking complex software written in C++. The reason why is 90000 end-to-end use case tests. I routinely implement new features or refactor major parts of the application and the tests will tell me if it is ready for production or not.
If you want me to think you have a nuanced opinion, express a nuanced opinion. The opinion you expressed is unsubstantiated, and instead of substantiating it, you’re attacking me. Poor showing mate.
It's a totally false dichotomy that you have to choose between consumer friendly and business friendly outcome. The idea those things are linked is a convenient fiction Apple has come up with to maintain its position of control.

Apple can put however many constraints it wants on external app stores. It can make them present a uniform interface for payment, delivery etc etc. Just like it puts those constraints already on the apps. Pretending it's powerless and all these terrible outcomes will ensue when it literally already controls every detail of every single app on the existing store is one of Apple's "big lies" (but one clearly a lot of people have fallen for).
> By the numbers, Apple is not a monopoly

We have court precedent that says otherwise. The Epic vs Apple case had at least 1 count that defined Apple's behavior as being illegally anti-competitive.

> Under no definition

Yes there is a definition. Under the definition that Judge Gonzalez Rogers used, they are large enough that some behavior is illegally anti-competitive.

So yes. An actual judge, who is the authority on the matter, disagrees with you, that it is impossible for apple to engage in illegal anti-competitive behavior.

> It just does not apply here.

Actually, it already did apply. Judge Gonzalez Rogers applied it to Apple.
Black holes as dark matter has been mostly ruled out by lensing surveys in my understanding.
I'm not sure how many people you'd be working with in either role but it sounds like the first one involves working in a team with a few people and taking on a sort of mentor role.
Imagine paying Apple to show ads for your app/service to the end user, and then once it converts to a sale, Apple comes in and does a 30% money grab from all future sales to that customer. To me, that is super unethical.
Lyft would only go out of business (without an iOS app) because there are Lyft competitors who won't cede the Apple customer segment. If all those players stayed Android-only, not only would they survive, but they'd be turning Android into a more compelling alternative. But this would require two things - for them to collude to stay off iOS, and for no new competitors to write an iOS app.

If having access to the Apple customer segment is the difference between success or failure - even despite the 30% tariff - then why is it strange that access to that segment has a price? This is a market.
I share all these grievances. I hope Drew Houston is reading this.
ClickHouse is an extremely fast SQL data warehouse that supports vectorized query execution, column storage, and efficient compression. It's also Apache 2.0 licensed and sets up on a dev laptop in about 60 seconds. The SQL is somewhat ideosyncratic (in a good way, I believe). It takes some experience to use it to its full capabilities.

Not all projects move there but if you want fast analytic queries on a few billion rows up to a few petabytes, it's really hard to beat.

Disclaimer: I work for Altinity, which supports ClickHouse.

You can simply encode the full financing agreement (along with all relevant agreements, articles and by-laws) as smart contracts, and perform all company operations exclusively on the blockchain.
It's sort of commonly accepted in the Game Industry that there exists an insurmountable proliferation of asset rips on mobile stores, and that there is an apparent total acceptance and tolerance of them by Google and Apple. So I'm not surprised to see such a lawsuit.

> According to Krafton, Apple and Google have distributed hundreds of millions of copies of the Free Fire games. The complaint says Garena generated more than $100 million in revenue from Free Fire sales in the U.S. in the first three months of 2021.

Right right, that's unexpected.

Edit: I meant 'expected'.

> Krafton also named Google's YouTube as a defendant for allegedly hosting videos of Free Fire gameplay, as well as a Chinese film that Krafton says is a live-action dramatization of its game.

But this? This is something interesting.

Last I heard of someone going after YouTube videos of gameplay was the raucous Nintendo made a few years back when they were sending DMCA takedowns to Streamers and YouTubers who featured gameplay of first-party Nintendo games. I don't recall those ever really going anywhere in court?

Going after a film maker for making a live-action dramatization of a game that features asset rips of another game seems ... A bit of a stretch. Presumably, the live-action dramatization includes no copyrighted assets and doesn't infringe upon any protected trademarks; and so is Krafton alleging that the live-action film features facsimiles of virtual assets that violate copyright?
Read Adam Smith, monopolies and single market platforms are not a free market.

It activates more information channels into my brain.

Prose is just one transfer channel, and for me, not a very efficient one (though I love reading!). Mathematical notation is one more.

But that leaves out word association, color, spatial relationships, conceptual graphs, diagrams, etc. The more channels I can activate, the faster I can build intuition, and intuition facilitates practical application.

Here's an example of how I like to use color from my own modest work: https://youtu.be/iyjIVSnrPSo?t=424

Another example: https://youtu.be/iyjIVSnrPSo?t=345

In this case, each independent variable in the equation gets its own color, and that color corresponds to a label on the graph above. The imaginary unit also gets a special color, which matches the color of its definition, for those of my audience who are unfamiliar with or out of practice with complex numbers. And the syntactic elements are muted to make the shape of the equation "pop" for those whose eyes are not routinely trained to read math notation. Elsewhere in the video I use different colors to represent positive, negative, and zero frequencies.

So to restate, it's all about giving information as many paths into my brain as possible.

Businesses in the crypto space are trending to anonymous organizations and suceeding. Take traderjoexyz.com, which does not reveal anything that most businesses do on their web page, such as office addresses, team, etc.

A children's book story: distributed systems as understood by a small dog
MySQL doesn't have to know that a db is UTF8 for you to store UTF8 in it. You're not necessarily using its collation functions or anything.

My understanding is replication and setting up MySQL is still easier than Postgres; it definitely was 10 years ago, that's why it's part of LAMP. The data loss issues were fixed forever ago when it switched to InnoDB.

Google AdWords and Facebook both use(d) MySQL a lot and I assume they knew about Oracle and Postgres at the time they were built…
Good.

Everytime we get someone on the far left who trades ideological purity for pragmatism, millions seem to die.

Kind of a toss up. Doordash has more market share in US but UberEats has wider international presence and is a leader in some markets. But yes, Uber acquired Postmates at one point and is now rolling out a subscription program called UberOne that encompasses rides, eats and its nascent grocery/pharmacy offering from the cornershop acquisition.
I think you mean ‘expected’, instead of ‘unexpected’ there?
I'd suggest being more humble.

- It's a debate, not a settled fact.

- When your opening salvo describes the other side as "stupid and ludicrous" you should not be surprised that some people respond with hostility in kind.

- Having studied something somewhat intensely for 20 weeks doesn't put your personal opinion on the subject on a higher standing than people who have studied this at a high academic level for a lifetime. You're free to make arguments, but not to proclaim absolute truths.

- For the particular article we're discussing: A galaxy that seems to have no rotational speed anomaly is a blow for both CDM & MOND theories, but it would seem to be a bigger blow for MOND (e.g. CDM anomaly could just be a weird distribution of dark matter).
There are some pseudonyms that have built up large social audiences and are active investors in many projects that I have crossed paths with. At least one is a founder as well as an investor, etc.

Ha, an archive! I think that just shows what's wrong with web2. If the content was distributed on NFPN network (layer 3.1) using inter-transmission value-exchange HPPT protocol - you would just stake your HPPT tokens on NFPN-enabled DeGaFi marketplace and the highest bidder would then provide his storage/cpu/network resources to serve you hash of the content in the blink of an eye.

By having the signed hash you could then easily submit a CNT-UPLNK request to the closest (or fastest) DECON content-farm via NFPN or FRYA protocols and get the content almost for free (assuming your staked FRYA balance can cover the cost of this micro transaction) - so you only pay for the transmission fees.

Not that simple with centralised web these days!
If you are measuring a monthly price in 10ths of a penny - the cost can't be that high. Does AWS even bill monthly in tenths of a penny? I normally calculate AWS projections in dollars.

I think folks are used to RDS type pricing models, so would expect that to remain popular.

Some notes:

Reserved instance pricing easily saves 40%+ on a one year term with AWS. For folks where RDS is really at the top end of their budget, I think its a bit weird not to bring costs down with reserved instances - most large production workloads don't handle being spun up and down every hour etc. Not sure what planetscale offers there.

For dynamic pricing AWS offers other datastores. Aurora Serverless 2 is I think

$0.10 per GB/month of storage. So $100K per PB?
$0.30 per million transactions

They say

"Whatever that number produces you can line up with the Amazon RDS multi-AZ price you’re currently paying Amazon."

Do we have confirmation that plantscale has a proper multi-AZ architecture?
It's not for show. As I said it was weird IMO that no concern for the pig was expressed. Given their capacity for suffering I would hope that people genuinely feel concern, which is not an invitation for hollow expressions of pity. Just doing that wouldn't make a lack of concern any less strange to me.

But dexwiz apparently enquired, or was at least aware that it seemed to have a reasonably good life. I guess that addressed my comment.
I am about the age of the people this article is talking about. This is laughably out of touch. Take a look at the right communities on TikTok or Instagram or Discord (they’re not small) with people aged around 13-20 and you’ll see that Marx to Mao to Deleuze to Fisher are alive and well in the minds of today’s young people. There are people my age who are reactionaries, but there are more who want out of the late-capitalist hellscape that’s been foisted on us.

Honestly, I can see validity in both your comment and the parent comment that you're arguing against. But I'll press you a little, if only to understand your point better:

> Microsoft's share of the desktop market at the time was very close to unity.

> Apple's share of the smartphone market is around... 55% within the US.

At what percentage of the market should Apple be required to loosen their grip over their platform / open up their marketplace? Is there a specific number they could reach where you'd feel comfortable placing more restrictions on these practices?
The iPhone is the most common phone in the US. I don't think the majority of the US is price insensitive.
Compared to what, Fisher Price? The entry level iPhone is $400, with refurbs lower, and even new units are often available free on contract with a carrier in the US.
Safer and more stable relative to GME, absolutely. But I'm also worried about the very large group people that have thrown most of their savings into the S&P 500.
