Introduction to OpenSearch
To quickly answer these...

- it's content addresses / merkle DAG all the way down. The commit's hash is something like meta (author, description, timestamp) + parents hash + root value hash. The root value is composed of the schema, and pointers to table and index maps. Tables and indexes are merkle DAGs of the table data organized in a structure a bit like a B-tree, but with cut points chosen by a rolling value hash in order to probabilistically re-synchronize on incremental changes. Some details: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2020-04-01-how-dolt-stores-tabl... , https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2020-05-13-dolt-commit-graph-an...

- currently table data is stored row major for full rows of the table and so diffing cannot efficiently ignore individual columns.

- direct conflicts are computed on a row-by-row basis, using the primary key of the row. And then constraints and foreign key references are maintained and validated across merges and edits.

I loved so much Delphi when it was still like Delphi 5.

In my opinion, GUI dev was so great and easy at that time. So much easier than today for desktop or web. For exemple, just having a reactive web app today is such a pain in the ass, when it was so easy then with component anchors and such.

Because like many ultra-rich has translated his "smarts+upbringing+luck+connections+right-place-right-time" success into just his capability alone, or just to his following some "success formula", and thinks such formulas can be canned and re-applied at will...

If the on-chain house title isn't the real one, treated as the ultimate authority, why would anybody want to buy it? Nobody in the right mind would want to pay for something that doesn't actually confer ownership. At that point, there's no benefit over just selling your house the normal way because all crypto does is adding extra steps to an existing process.

If the on-chain house title is the ultimate authority, then the logical conclusion that any way of obtaining it is valid -- if I manage to get it, then I should be able to kick you out of your house, since now I possess the title.

The first option seems useless/fraudulent, and the second incredibly awful security-wise. Fall for a scam/virus/trojan once, and there goes all your stuff.
Bananas were actually already sold fairly widely in the US in 1922. United Fruit Company et al. imported them by the boatload.

In fact, there was a crisis of supply caused by the Panama disease infesting the plantations, and people were very unhappy with that, because they got so used to the fruit.

> Go is not particularly efficient as a language and its compiler doesn't optimize much compared to the other "efficient" language compilers (even the JIT ones).

I mean, relative to many other mainstream languages including many of the JIT languages, Go is very efficient, but a lot of that efficiency comes from the language design (e.g., idiomatic value types) such that the compiler and runtime don’t need to be as smart.

Agreed that the benchmarks game is a pretty crumby measure of performance, but it typically imposes strange restrictions on Go that prevents it from showing its idiomatic performance (never mind its ceiling). For example, languages with garbage collectors aren’t allowed to preallocate memory for certain benchmarks even though that’s absolutely idiomatic in Go (because Go has value types) so you have languages with GCs optimized for languages where everything is an allocation which perform well and languages like C and Rust which are allowed to preallocate because they don’t have a GC (which is a weird criteria) and then you have Go which appears to be very slow because it’s forced to allocate in a tight loop.

This brings back memories. Back in the late eighties I used various programming languages for fun (TI59, 6502 assembler, BBC Basic), but when I switched to Pascal, a lot of things changed for me. At that time the schools used the predecessor of Turbo Pascal, called PolyPascal - but some time later they switched to Turbo Pascal. I have used Delphi almost from the beginning and have used various versions through time.

I don't always remember the system for good tings. The article mentions Oracle, and I do remember we had a hard time getting Delphi to connect properly to Oracle databases in the late nineties. This was mostly done through BDE. The official definition of that abbreviation is Borlands Database Engine, but a lot of people called it Borlands Database Error.

A few years ago I got back to Delphi and what a please it is to use. The latest version of Delphi allows you to produce native code to several different platforms, and it's certainly still Rapid Application Development.

But unfortunately it's not available to everybody due to the prices.

This is why I really really like Hotwire Turbo[0] which is a back-end agnostic way to do fast and partial HTML based page updates over HTTP and it optionally supports broadcasting events with WebSockets (or SSE[1]) only when it makes sense.

So many alternatives to Hotwire want to use WebSockets for everything, even for serving HTML from a page transition that's not broadcast to anyone. I share the same sentiment as the author in that WebSockets have real pitfalls and I'd go even further and say unless used tastefully and sparingly they break the whole ethos of the web.

HTTP is a rock solid protocol and super optimized / well known and easy to scale since it's stateless. I hate the idea of going to a site where after it loads, every little component of the page is updated live under my feet. The web is about giving users control. I think the idea of push based updates like showing notifications and other minor updates are great when used in moderation but SSE can do this. I don't like the direction of some frameworks around wanting to broadcast everything and use WebSockets to serve HTML to 1 client.

I hope in the future Hotwire Turbo alternatives seriously consider using HTTP and SSE as an official transport layer.

Steven Erickson, Ian C. Esslemont and their friends spent a decade world building while playing table top games. First Erickson then Esselmont started pouring over that world into the Malazan series.

It is, without question, the largest, most complicated, most inspiring entertaining engaging and satisfying collection of plots, sub plots, sub sub plots, sub sub sub plots, super plots, super super plots and possibly super super super plots. I'm only 2 re-reads in - people who are into their 4th or 5th re-read tell me they are still discovering layers.

The downside is that the first book in the series - Gardens of the Moon - is ridiculously difficult to get started with. There's a read-along blog that Tor did that helped me get through it - but it's still a challenge. I had to downgrade from an audiobook to an ebook and then to a paperback because I kept flipping back to remind myself who someone/something was.

It appears to be 30 per domain, not “hundreds”, at least as of the time this answer was written. I didn’t see anything more recent that contradicted this.

In practice, this is unlikely to be problematic unless you’re using multiple websockets per page, but the limit of 6 TCP connections is even less likely to be a problem if you’re using HTTP/2, since those will be shared across tabs, which isn’t the case for the dedicated connection used for each websocket.
Given the strategy that they won't be redeemed + infinite lifetime and potentially some barriers to convert/transfer, that liabiltiy will keep balooning. I wonder if they are assuming a write-off.
I don't think it contradicts the article. They wrote: The energy consumption graph of data centers is basically flat. That's unexpected because big data, machine learning, etc have gotten popular in the last decade (or so). The way I interpreted this is that by improving efficiency, we kept the total energy usage close to constant.

I'm not saying that if you write Rust you save the planet, but in certain scenarios, the energy you save by having some parts of your services written in Rust can be significant.
I feel this answer is really the only fair one - unless you DO have it as part of the story or the story background these kinds of “fan questions” lead to flippant answers that are designed to fit the current day.
This is completely true! It also varies a _lot_ between clubs, with curlers describing different rinks as being "straight" or "curly", with the latter being more densely pebbled and thus prone rocks curling more. Some of the better players I curled with had notebooks full of points they'd remembered from each rink they'd played. As one would imagine, the home team advantage is enormous in amateur curling.

Each rink has a professional ice maker on staff whose job it is to maintain the rink for everyone to play on. Rinks usually need pebbling between games, so the ice maker or their apprentice is pretty much on staff the entire time people are using the facility. It seems to be a labor of love, spending hours and hours a day hunched over sprinkling water on a sheet of ice, only to have it all swept away in a matter of hours. You end up being known by name by the entirety of the club, and a lot of folks buy you a nice gift come Christmas!

> He literally funded Trump.

You stop here as if to assume this is enough info to prove his productivity was undesirable, and that everyone will understand and degree, but that’s an incorrect assumption.

What specifically was undesirable? Most people remember spending $1.50/less per gallon, spending less on everything else thanks to low inflation, the lowest illegal border crossings in decades, lower taxes, finally fighting back against China after decades of politicians saying a lot but doing nothing, peace talks with NK, a well handled foreign policy, and Operation Warp Speed which brought the US a wonderful historic vaccine in record time, 3 Supreme Court justices that will help America weather the current progressive zeitgeist meme fad policies (and many others), and some mean tweets and a very deranged media that covered him.

Before you bring up his handling of COVID, do recall that there were far more deaths under Biden in the same time period compared to under Trump, and that Biden’s only true move was making sure everyone had access to Trump’s vax. (Joe certainly didn’t shut down COVID like he claimed he would.)

So sometimes productive is, in fact desirable.

I think I understand where you are coming from because I get the same way. I get excited about a project at first, but then I think "what's the point?" and put it off.

My advice when you are feeling that way is to tell yourself "I will work on this for just 10 or 15 minutes and then if I feel like it, I will stop." That way you aren't under any pressure.

I find this works because it's harder to get motivated when you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself to spend hours working on something. Instead just commit to a little bit - if you enjoy it, then keep going. If not, no big deal - at least you did did a little bit. Maybe tomorrow you'll want to do more.
>It doesn't discuss anything else and offers nothing except banalities about the Bible, Jesus (speaking in Parables) and Rene (sic) Girard, a French author who was ridiculed in France for his obsessions and circular thinking, but enjoyed some kind of cult following in the US, apparently.

Girard was never ridiculed in France (at least, not any more than any other who became a target at this or that point). He remains a very respected figure, and his theories are very deep. That said, they're not suitable for consumption by analytical philosophy types.

Thiel, however, has only ever said trivialities regarding Girard and his theories, that reveal a very shallow understanding (if that), something analogous to "As Einstein said, everything is relative".

> You upgrade, and then end up staring at half a dozen 3-way diffs for services you're only vaguely aware exist

This is a fundamental problem that you cannot escape. If you take something from upstream and modify it, then you're stuck keeping up with the changes. If you're only "vaguely aware" of something you modified, it's because you forgot.

> Systemd makes this nice and easy

No, it doesn't. You're describing doing the exact same thing as if you just ignore the config file diffs - keeping your own version and ignoring upstream. If the upstream changed something relevant, your forked config breaks.

> I'm not sure how could that be done without going to every software maker out there and telling them to ensure such a feature wouldn't be needed.

I'm talking about the design of systemd, not the complexity of services. We're not going to be able to hash out how they could simplify their own overall model in a message board thread, but suffice it to say that 11 different types of dependencies (double including their reversals) could certainly be pared down.

> Lots of stuff doesn't come with distros, including the packages for my own project which ships systemd units. Add a third party repo, install packages, enable services, done

Your packages would drop a unit in say /etc/sysd/units/, and augment the toplevel config by dropping something in say /etc/sysd/graph.d/
When exposing makes you consider the audience thoughtfully, yes, it's a whole other game then. It's so common for me that I think some part or a piece of writing is fine.

> Putting ideas into words doesn't have to mean writing, of course. You can also do it the old way, by talking. But in my experience, writing is the stricter test.

As pg brings it up, writing is one of the many ways to shape ideas and even change them. But I wouldn’t go so far to say it’s the stricter test.

Each way of expressing and sharing ideas will test it in different ways.
Writing may look for conciseness, flow and completeness while talking about it can validate ideas for collaborative building.

Going a step forward, I’d suggest that putting Ideas into Action IS the stricter test.

I still don't understand the decision to get rid of all the other sensors they used to employ. Yes, a human can drive using only video input (though sound and touch definitely help), but humans have an eternity in evolutionary pressure behind them to achieve that feat.

It would have made so much more sense to keep the sensors for the ramp-up, even if just as a fallback. Then you could validate the decisions made based on visual information, until the collected data indicate that the system is robust enough to function on visual alone.
