Is this zero-downtime? pg_upgrade with the link option is pretty fast, usually only taking a few minutes even with our >10TB database, but it does require taking the server down while it's running which is a major issue for many modern apps.

I'm loving the cockroachdb upgrade process for our cluster - you just do a zero-downtime rolling restart to the next major version, with the ability to roll back to the old version if you see issues, and then when ready allow the database to apply it's migrations internally to upgrade the data structures, which is also zero-downtime.

It's more complicated than that. A few of the considerations:

* DNA/RNA are not the only options. Other nucleobases potentially exist and artificial ones have certainly been created (1)

* A completely unique sequence would indicate no shared ancestor even if it was DNA.

* We're not sure how life started on Earth either. It could've been more than once in more than one way. We don't know.

* Earth and Mars shared material as asteroid impacts ejected material that eventually landed on the other. Some microorganisms could potentially survive the journey.

Well you are missing one of the great feature of Spring framework: Converting compile time errors in to runtime exceptions.

Jokes apart you are absolutely right about non-spring based services. I did same using plain Java + embedded tomcat for some services. No cargo-cult like endless decorative packages and classes. Exactly same result as you observed. Less code, fast to start and vastly improved error management.

And I believe Bostrom was just summarizing the Fermi Paradox

I thought entertainment/enjoyment was the value you were supposed to get for playing games. If not then are they really games?
I agree with this the most:

> 19. Death is a disease that can be cured.

Seems pretty obvious, if poorly formulated (“disease”)

And disagree with this the most:

> 20. Eating animals should be outlawed and illegal.

It’s a luxury belief that would result in mass starvation if enacted and enforced.
> Yeaaaaah. You know that had nothing to do with actually increasing digital literacy, and was actually directed at tapping into previously unexploitable markets right?

That's the point. The market trying to make money does a better job at getting tech access to people than specialized initiatives to promote digital literacy.

> Population density does that.

The point was that the standard wire-to-the-home plus WiFi router plus laptop model that we have in the developed world doesn't work if you're trying to build out infrastructure for a large number of people cheaply.

> Something, I might add, that that committee you disparage was more keenly interested in providing cheaply, robustly, and maintainable than any developer or architect of Android, or the handsets it runs on ever was

The first step to learning to access the internet is not learning how to code. Smartphones aren't exactly competing with laptops - you can first get a phone or tablet and when you go to university or into the workplace you have a proper PC.

> Correction: They can use the Internet for what someone deemed profitable to make available for them. The use cases that were not (General Purpose) remain out of reach.

Android devices are capable of running arbitrary code through sideloading, including JIT compiled apps like emulators. About the only thing you can't do is boot your own OS, which by the time you know enough to boot your own OS you definitely have your own laptop. You are referring to iOS.
I'm not a us citizen. But as far as I see, money talks in courts. So if one cannot afford a good lawyer, or at least does not have a valuable domain to defend using a borrowed money, that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You can do all of the above on an Android tablet actually. Maybe you can't do all types of programming but you can definitely write a book, produce a song, use spreadsheets, and work with maps.
> Europe absolutely has the means to defend itself, and I think it's very selfish that they don't.

When was the last time you checked the armies of each country in European Union? France has the biggest and most respectable army and second comes... Greece. Most EU states have sold one or more of their branches (completely) and guess what... they've forgotten to even train them!

> The US has spent 20 years at war, is completely polarized, and just doesn't have the means to keep doing this.

The US has a booming war economy and it's not prepared to shrink it at all.

Once in a whole someone has to take on projects to try to explore the solution space and break out of local optima. It doesn't always work, but when it does, the gains are orders of magnitude. One example is the nascent reusable rocket industry vs. the existing space shuttle and converted ICBMs.
Sandberg and Ord are based at the same institute as Bostrom who popularized the Great Filter, if that has any effect on your opinion of the piece. They tend to work on pretty wacky things mind you, I had a discussion with Sandberg on whole brain emulation once and Ord champions donating to fairly sci-fi sounding charitable organizations (including his own, the future of humanities institute).
[Planet Money](https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/10/14/448718171/epis...) had an episode a few years ago but I don’t think they covered the box office futures ban bolted on during Dodd-Frank.
There is natural affinity between Zoroastriansim and Hinduism due to the related roots of Vedic and early Iranic religion (fire rituals in particular are a striking similarity).

Additionally, Hindu nationalism is driven by a perceived need to defend against religions that seek to convert the world (namely, Christianity and Islam). As such, Zoroastrianism is seen as a religion that needed sheltering from Islam.

Finally, specifically to the fertility rate issue, there is often fear amongst Hindu nationalists that differences in fertility rates will lead to Islamic demographic ascendancy, so it's natural to apply the same logic to the declining Parsi community.
I am in the same boat. Seems like other's in the thread are too. I am closer to actually quitting and taking a sabbatical than I have ever been in my life. I am thinking of traveling a bit (in cheaper parts of the world), eventually experimenting with other tech & then building my own thing.
I'd also stop working, though instead of working on a moonshot I'd go camping, work on my garden, and spend long days playing games with friends and family.

There is a qualitative difference between needing to spend 40+ hours a week to sustain yourself versus spending 0 hours. If one need to spend those hours anyways it makes sense to maximize the income from doing so.

It may take a generation, but I think most people would eventually come to the conclusion that the rat race isn't worth it when zero hours is an option.
In your opinion, would you say that the vaccine program has been a success?
"I would say 50% would have to get vaccinated before you start to see an impact," Fauci said. "But I would say 75 to 85% would have to get vaccinated if you want to have that blanket of herd immunity."
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/1...

the fraction of people who would need immunity to SARS-CoV-2 (either through vaccination or recovery from prior infection) to extinguish the spread of the virus was initially estimated to be 60% to 70%.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/vinay-prasad/90445

Estimates based on measles and other diseases suggest that herd immunity occurs when 70%-80% of the population is vaccinated.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/17/dr-fauci-what-herd-immunity-...

I'm not sure if you have a very poor memory or you're just lying, but everyone was pushing the idea that the covid vaccines were sterilizing and would push us to reach herd immunity and eradicate Covid-19.
Graphviz has saved my bacon so many times throughout my career. Not just for visualising constraints and dependencies in planning and scheduling (construction, not computing) but in so many other areas.

Best example was for fabrication of a large subsea structure. Often, these critical assets have material traceability requirements on-par with space exploration, producing thousands of pages of certificates and documentation along the way.

I.e. you need to prove and assure the provenance of every piece of material sitting on the 1km down on the ocean floor back to the assay report of the soup in the ladle at the forge when it was formed, and everything in between; material certificates, design specs, third party testing, mother plate to material stock to final cut part identification, and all the third-party witnessing and assurance along the way. Easy for small parts but cumbersome for 60tn structures with thousands of parts and welds.

When the requirement is 100% QA/QC coverage, linking IDs to certificates and other documents in each part of the chain meant we could easily visualise things and look for rogue elements like child parts pertaining to be from two seperate mother plates, or destructive testing coverage for all materials.

Not how it's usually done but it was a useful tool for communicating to other not so technical stakeholders and helping some on the project sleep easier. :-)

The problem with permissionless systems is that’s it’s truly permissionless. Everyone’s distracted by the scams and fraud (which definitely exist) and miss the real innovation happening.

Take a look at platforms like artblocks.io (e.g. https://www.artblocks.io/project/233) to see what’s being created.

Bookmark this, and come back in 5 years to see how it panned out.
Sure, I understand. You can also do that by reversing the order of the two operations (paste into the document, then select and delete the unnecessary text), or you can use both selections (select the text to be copied while holding down alt, then select the text to replace while not holding alt, and middle click from the secondary selection by holding alt).

But that’s not really the point; the point is that it’s nice to have both mechanisms available. Some people will find selections more convenient, others won’t.

I'm quite aware of the idea of a firmament and its symbolism, but that's a take on the flat earther community I have never heard of before...
The world wouldn't come to an end or anything, but if we didn't have so many cutting edge chips, we'd generally be spending more money to use lesser chips to perform fewer and lesser tasks while consuming more resources to do so.
No, using a package manager creates no obligations on the author of the software.
Flat Earthers aren't the only ones who are good at rationalizing things away, it seems to be a skill that is innate to all humans. And, most seem oblivious to it, which makes conversations like this that much more fun.
> Perhaps some technologies are just so advanced and difficult, with so many people and specialized knowledge, that firms like TSMC are unbeatable.

Except that modern chipmaking is so complicated that even one company can't contain all the specialized knowledge. My understanding is that the Dutch company ASML is the only producer of EUV lithography machines in the world, which the chipmakers depend on to make their most advanced chips.
> There's a lot more shared identity today as a result of colonization and the reservation system, which somewhat extends to things like food.

Yes and this nearly amorphous identity is a tragedy that needs unbundling. Scratch the surface and none of it makes sense for any single pre-colonial culture on the whole continent.

There are like 300 recognized distinct pre-colonial cultures here at the US federal level, most of which were grandfathered in before a cutoff for the reservation system and additional ones each requiring an act of Congress for recognition, even more at the state level, and even more vying for recognition as they are just noticing and regrouping after ages of separation, in a combination of forced separation or lineage dilution.
Apple doesn’t have product managers and the project managers don’t make these decisions. (They have regular managers instead.)
What you can physically fit isn’t the same as what they can actually dry effectively. Typically their sized so a washing machine is half the capacity of a dryer because you can fill a washing machine 2/3 up but you only want a dryer at 1/3 capacity. https://blog.bellinghamelectric.com/dryer-buying-guide

In other words 50 adult blue jeans would take roughly a 75 cubic foot dryer to dry effectively. Which probably exists in some industrial settings but I doubt you have that at home.
I love graphviz!!!

Used it as a helper in my first project at Snowflake (role hierarchy layout) https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/sfgrantreport and won a nice hacking award for it. Then the product saw it and folded what I made into the main UI.

Huge props to the graphviz for making it easy to draw my ideas from whiteboard into svg/pdf/png!
If that was all there was to it, then it wouldn't be a concern. The problem is that people really do believe it and promote it, even though we know a lot better about the world than when these books were written centuries ago.

In Texas, the school board was populated by young earth creationists. Because of the size of the market, they could dictate that textbooks be rewritten, such as adding creationism along side evolution in science classrooms [1]. Religiously-motivated thinking is behind many important laws and denying things like climate change [2]

And in some countries, a particular religious belief is all-controlling and holds political and judicial power as well. Non-believers, homosexuals, and apostates get killed. Women are possessions.

I know the grandparent comment is getting down-voted because it is very broad. It is easy to reflexively downvote the edgy atheist. Of course Christianity (or choose another religion) has good aspects to it. But it isn't just atheists scoffing at what they feel are absurd beliefs: Christians of one flavor laugh at the absurd beliefs of other flavors, believing their own group is the one that got everything right. Biblical literalists get laughed at by other Christians for thinking the world is 6000 years old. Non-Catholics laugh at Catholics for thinking a consecrated Eucharist is not just a symbol of the body of Christ but becomes the actual body of Christ [3]. Mormons consider themselves Christians but many Christians do not think they are. And so on.

Just to clarify it is not my opinion. It is the groupthink of enterprise Java programing where reading Java tutorial itself would be obscure thing. Everything has to be looked from "framework" perspective. Framework says 'new' is bad so it is bad, dependency has to be constructor/setter injected by DI container so that's how it has to be.
...Only because we (software engineers, developers, etc...) have completely failed in managing to make our field more communicable to users, and have gone down the path of complicating the hell out of things instead of nailing down the primitives and onboarding to the field.

I'm not even talking any wishy washy inclusiveness mumbo jumbo either. I'm talking over complicating the boot chain, over complicating memory management/models/toolchains.

Browsers are a living nightmare of complexity, and I am continuously amazed at the number of programmers who have no clue about the gory details of networking.

No, it is not zero downtime.

I think that "Real Application Cluster" (RAC) databases, where multiple Oracle database instances are connected to the storage table spaces, are able to perform a rolling upgrade, but I have not researched it in depth. I am certain that quarterly patches can be deployed in this way.
by calling new yourself you get a sane stack trace when something is misconfigured. that alone is worth the tiny additional amount of code in my book.
I like Crystal, but it doesn't support the last three value propositions: it supports fewer platforms than Rust (in particular, no Windows outside of WSL) and has less community support/enthusiasm. It also has an obligate runtime, so linking to Crystal code from non-Crystal programs is problematic.

I've been working on a new Web3 project with one of my friends, and have noticed that everything is really slow, expensive, and complicated.

Rather than comment on your question I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a bit on your own experience as to the "slow, expensive, and complicated" parts.
I attempted something similar and I lasted about a day before it dawned
upon me that an MS was really what I was after. A PhD is really a young
person's game. Just as you don't attend conservatory later in life to
become a performance musician, you don't "catch up" on a PhD to become a
research scientist -- that boat has sailed. I know it's not what you
want to hear, especially since you're already nontrivially invested.

It's sad because I probably stole a slot from some poor, smart kid from

To me there’s a big difference between mass commercialization of American Indian foods and having more American Indian restaurants.

I don’t think anyone thinks having a “Panda Express but for Indian food instead of Chinese” is a good idea. But if there’s a demand for Indian food, or if someone can create that demand, it’s a great opportunity for Indians to go and create some successful restaurants. Of course, someone has to figure out what exactly it is you serve at those restaurants. There’s been some work to define that on the fine dining end, which ends up looking like creative dishes that use indigenous ingredients, and on the diner/dive end of things, which is pretty much fry bread tacos and chili. When it comes to that middle zone, it’s hard to define something that’s both authentic and has good marketing. You can make shit up and do something along the lines of Mitsitam’s chocolate seared wild boar (listed as being from the “northern woodlands”, a region where chocolate does not grow) or you can serve actual Indian food like fry bread tacos, which is just going to remind all your white patrons that Indians mostly live in ghettos with little access to healthy food. I think it’s going to take some smart chefs to create menus that both market well and have genuine ties to American Indian cultures.

I think there’s also room for Indian-owned companies to dominate the cured meats market. Any Indian company in that space would have a great story to tell around their product. There’s no reason people should be buying Jack Links beef sticks and not what would essentially be the same product but with American Indian ownership and branding.
Hey! I'm the author of this post. Thanks for sharing and reading! Happy to answer any questions about the org or about my ranging experiences with different workplace cultures.
