I used to buy 2-3 per year at $30-50 each. There wasn’t a big selection and typically only best sellers would on the shelves at Waldenbooks or Cracker Barrel.

Amazon helped quite a bit as prices dropped by 30% and I bought 4-5 per year until audible. I was an audible subscriber for 10 years until my library got Libby. Not as good but free and I can read more now.

The market seems 100x as big both due to cost and ease of use. Switching cassettes and CDs was a pain.
I was asking about the context of the conversation. And I answered it for you. It's the likelihood of the risk. Two computers in two different locations can and do fail.

> You are wrong about that: Nobody cares if something is "designed to be durable according to the definition in the design".

No I'm not, that's what the word means and that's how it's used. That's how it's defined in operating systems, that's how it's defined by disk manufacturers, that's how it's used by people who write databases.

> That's just more weasel words.

No it's not, its the only sane definition because all hardware and software is different, and so is everybody's appetite for risk and cost. And you don't know what any of those things are in any situation.

> They care what are the risks, how you actually protect against them, and what it costs to do. That's it.

You seem to be arguing against yourself here. Lots of people (e.g., personal users) store a lot of their data on a single device for significant periods of time, because that's reasonably durable for their use.
Fair. I retract “just” as I agree it’s a few other things, but in one world, I can contract out my Linux packaging to Redhat or my Elasticsearch hosting to Amazon and in another world I can’t. I think that’s a significant difference in freedom to me, as the user/potential user.

“You have the freedom to contract for help with our software with this company but not that company” or “you have the freedom to contract for hosting in inefficient arrangements that we can beat in competition but not in efficient ways that we’d rather not compete against”.
Absolutely. It's poetic and bleak and colorful and sometimes just a bit nonsensical, but always vivid.

For me, it's like a literary version of all those renaissance pictures of the events of the book of Revelation or paintings of the apocalypse. The characters and events sometimes just feel like allegories or gods somehow.
Sounds like Google. Perf is the engine that powers the bizarre internal meat machine. Fuel are the artifacts: docs and code. More the better.

The easiest way to try PipeWire is to install Fedora Workstation 35 in Boxes or VirtualBox. Instructions for working from source code are available online, but are only recommended for the hardy. Even other distributions that have PipeWire in their repositories generally have a wiki with distro-specific instructions. Arch Linux, Debian, and Gentoo are among the distros with PipeWire configuration wikis, although you may find they suffer from a lack of current information.

We’ve got data in S3 buckets not nearly at that scale and managing them, god forbid trying a mass delete, is absolute tedium.
I had the same idea but thought it could be an addition to the original game. That is, once you have solved today's game, you are given a pattern of yellow and green squares (could be made into a 5x6 image to make it interesting) and you enter new guesses to match the pattern knowing the day's solution.
What DAW do you use? I tried Ardour but gave up because MIDI experience wasn't good compared to Cubase.
After the pulse bluetooth codec support drama last year and the discontinuation of the modules I was using to support better codecs, I moved to Pipewire and it just worked. Wouldn't know I wasn't using Pulse, except I don't have to install an extra module from the AUR which would occasionally get out of sync anymore.
There are some reasonable explanations though:

* The actual values have changed over time but the value statement hadn't been updated in a while

* Different parts of the company genuinely have different values

I don't think either of those necessarily indicate a toxic culture.
It's worked flawlessly for me on F35. The one thing I've had to amend is that I need to pass an extra flag to Slack to allow me to share my screen. I think that's a Slack thing more than Pipewire though.
The only language (other than English) taught in my local school district is Spanish. How do you expect US students to learn a language to emigrate somewhere else?
Not a judgement on the content of the post, but is anyone else annoyed at the lazy trend to dub any controversy "something"-gate? Watergate was called that because that's the name of the hotel. Gate is not some synonym for scandal. It's just a gate. We used to have more appropriate names for things. At least the Panama Papers had a proper name, even if everyone forgot about it and nothing ever came of it.
I have a family with a teenager and apartment living is great, needs parking and a good location though.
I never jumped into the React wagon, just as I never took the Wordpress train. You do not hire an 18-wheeler to deliver a pizza. Engineers on any subject have one job: design the optimal solution, be it a bridge or an SPA to take online orders.

React makes sense for FB's bloated, complex web app. Your CRUD app will do fine with far simpler dev tools. Even vanilla JS does the job in most cases.

99% developer feels compelled to learn and adopt what is trendy because that is what the client/market/boss demands; but it is you the 'engineer' who has to tell the client/boss how that bridge is to be built. When was the last time you went to a doctor and said: hey doc I have this, give me that medicine.

pipewire-media-session is basically unmaintained, development effort has moved to wireplumber (even though I think routing audio in Lua is unnecessary dynamism and complexity).

A succession of wiki products that are essentially write-only. No one ever reads them. Eventually somebody gets frustrated with the disorganization and says "We should switch to Yet Another Wiki Product" and the cycle begins anew.
There are no free toys for kids of any age. Even toys for babies cost money. Literally every single toy any kid of any age has costs money.

Also, Roblox in fact has quite a lot of fully free content. What is special about these games is that kids in fact can play with friends without parents having to pay. With nerf gun, if parents dont pay, you dont get to play.
To practice being in a relationship. To gain a better understanding of what you want in a relationship. It is one thing to have a bad significant other as a teenager, it is totally different to have a bad spouse.
> that's too much to expect from development teams

Wut? The development team is capable of dealing with that just fine. It’s the business unit throwing requirements over the fence and hoping it’ll magically be OK that’s the problem.
Oh, I expect them to obey laws. And I certainly don't automatically believe that they are screwing over vendors in the same way I'll automatically believe claims of them going out of their way for customers. I was mostly pointing out that how they treat customers is not necessarily related to how they treat vendors.
I'm very glad that you liked it. It was your work that inspired me.

Unfortunately, we’re in the stone ages of mental health. There is no blood test or brain scan we can do to assuredly find depression, bipolar, or any other common mental health diseases. Hopefully you’re correct and in the future we will have some for sure predictor, but at the current rate we have very little to nothing. You’re optimism doesn’t seem to match the environment.
The per capital crime rates aren’t consistent across races. For example, 6% of the population (black males) are responsible for 50% of all murders.

What will be the reaction to the statistics that white peoples get set free more often than black people because white people tend to commit “victimless crimes” more frequently?
It's cool that the work Safari team did will also help Chrome improve their implementation in the future. WebGL 2 enables a lot of great experiences (especially with AR and XR now becoming more of a thing).

"Apple adopted ANGLE as the basis for Safari’s WebGL implementation, and as a result, their engineering team spent over a year making dramatic contributions to ANGLE’s Metal backend. Safari now runs WebGL on top of Metal on recent iOS and macOS devices. Collaborative work continues among the Apple and Google engineering teams, including adopting top-of-tree ANGLE into WebKit, creating a common codebase for development going forward, and switching Chrome to use ANGLE’s Metal backend as well."
Maybe for slow narrative games but a game with any action like The Last of Us it sounds unusably imprecise and slow, and TLoU is a fairly slow game if you're playing it stealthily.
This is a great approach.

How do you deal with outdated info that's still useful to keep around?

I have a few internal wiki-pages which are 80% 'stuff I tried that doesn't work but I'd like to keep around because the tries are valuable in case I re-visit these angles', 20% 'stuff that worked in the end'. I find the 80% confuse newcomers, and I still have to explain which parts are important.
Initially I wanted to use the Wordle word (of the day), but then I thought that you would remember the words, so it's not much of a challenge.
Since 2015, VAT on eBooks is charged according to the buyer's country, see e.g. https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/electronically-supplie... This is also reflected on my invoices from Amazon.

VAT law is harmonized across the EU, which country's rate is applicable is based on a rather complex (and ever changing) set of rules, but nowadays it's mostly the buyer's country.

For many at orgs like this, SageMaker is probably the shortest path to an insane amount of compute with a python terminal.

Why single bucket? Once someone refers to a bucket as "the" bucket - it is how it will forever be.
Probably more like downvoted because missing the point.

Sure fsync allows that behavior, but also it's so widely misunderstood that a lot of programs which should do a "full" flush only do a fsync, including Benchmarks. In which case they are not comparable and doing so is cheating.

But that's not the point!

The point is that with the M1 Macs SSDs the performance with fully flushing to disk is abysmal bad.

And as such any application with cares for data integrity and does a full flush can expect noticable performance degradation.

The fact that Apple neither forces frequent full syncs or at least full syncs when a Application is closed doesn't make it better.

Though it is also not surprising as it's not the first time Apple set things up under the assumption their hardware is unfailable.

And maybe for a desktop focused high end designs where most devices sold are battery powered that is a reasonable design choice.
Really good to hear those examples. That makes a lot of sense.
The problem with the argument of turning around the causality is that there are several examples of countries to have spend significantly on education to then move out of poverty, i.e. where the poverty only reduced after the focus on education. I think you need to come up with some convincing cases that show why the causality should be reversed.

Regarding education being a luxury good, I agree you could argue that some of the comments here consider it that. However, that does not mean it is this way from a societies point of view.

Regarding your points:
[1] My argument was more, that immigrants typically try to go to places where they envision a better future, for themselves, but importantly also for their children. Thus a society that offers good education for future children is obviously attractive. I do agree that education is used as a restriction to immigration, or better more modern societies do not have so much need for unskilled labor, but want skilled immigrants. I guess another point for getting an education, it lets you emigrate to other countries much more easily.
[2] Sure, that's a general point about everything not just education. However, it is also still unclear if we have reached diminishing returns for education.
Sigh, no. A barrier is not a full flush. A barrier does not guarantee data persistence, it guarantees write ordering. A barrier will not make sure the data hits disk and is not lost on power failure. It just makes sure that subsequent data won't show up and not the prior data, on power failure. NVMe doesn't even have a concept of barriers in this sense. An OS-level barrier can be faster than a full sync only because it doesn't need to wait for the FLUSH to actually complete, it can just maintain a concept of ordering within the OS and make sure it is maintained with interleaved FLUSH calls.

I don't know why you keep pressing on this issue. macOS has the same performance with F_FULLFSYNC as Linux does with fsync(). Why would they be different things? We're getting the same numbers. This entire thing started because fsync() on these Macs on Linux was dog slow and we couldn't figure out why macOS was fast. Then we found F_FULLFSYNC which has the same semantics as fsync() on Linux. And now both OSes perform equally slowly on this hardware. They're obviously doing the same thing. And the same thing on Linux on non-Apple SSDs is faster. I'm sure I could install macOS on this x86 iMac again and show you how F_FULLFSYNC on macOS also gives better performance on this WD drive than on the M1, but honestly, I don't have the time for that, the isssue has been thoroughly proved already.

Actually, I have a better one that won't waste as much of my time.

Plugs in a shitty USB3 flash drive into the M1.

224 IOPS with F_FULLFSYNC. On a shitty flash drive.
58 IOPS with F_FULLFSYNC. On internal NVMe.

Both FAT32.

Are you convinced there's a problem yet?

(I'm pretty sure the USB flash drive has no write cache, so of course it is equally fast/slow with just fsync(), but my point still stands - committing writes to persistent storage is slower on this NVMe controller than on a random USB drive)
I thought that anti-values were the true, unstated values of an organization. Some examples from pockets of my org…

“The more important you are, the less you touch code/servers/things”

“Lots of meetings means you’re important.” (People will frequently humblebrag “I have 13 meetings today”)

“Create a problem, present a problem, let someone else solve, celebrate the solution.”

There’s also many positive values that I think outweigh these anti-values.
Sure.. last power failure was like 4 years ago and the one before that was also measured in multiple years.

Back when I still used a UPS down here, it was usually the UPS that died and triggered the power failure. So I stopped investing in a UPS.

I am curious to know how you evaluate a new development product in respect to the ROI? What characteristics should a product have to satisfy your criteria for considering it?
> Everyone for whom coding is something that gets in the way of their real objective.

While tech is (allegedly) evolving as fast as ever, the problems to be solved often do not. Sure, scale is always an issue and you want to reduce maintenance. But how many project do you have that have to scale to millions of users?

> Visual Basic, Access

Very true, but those tools have evolved as well. Sure, everyone laughs about people not using SAP or Salesforce and instead use a self-made CRM. I have seen terrible things here, but also good ones with more features than both other tools could provide. And it made working far more efficient. Of course Access is only used as a front end today, but the fact that there are no real alternatives is a certificate of failure of those that criticise these tools the most (I did so as well). And it is surprisingly adaptable to new feature requests.
The risk of doing that is that you might start with a straight 2x12 and end with three crooked 2x4's.

Still, it's better to be a resource than the next level, which is a cost.

I actively try to use people instead of resources in a conversation, have never understood the need to use resources as a word.

I honestly think spreadsheet makers could argue both sides without problems.
I don't say anything different, actually. As I said, had they chosen something that's not that unreasonably limited, we would have never known about it since there wouldn't be a cockup. When the policy(back then nothing was clear) is in place for good, then they can build something elegant and efficient. IMHO, they should have had it before the pandemic even was a thing but that's totally another discussion.
If it was so easy to 'get a girlfriend' in high school, you wouldn't have all these people giving this advice. They are suggesting it precisely because they feel like they missed out themselves.
Thanks. I guess I could have activity to set user.hasAccess=false when I get cancel signal.

I wonder how such long running workflows can be updated due to business requirements change. Say we now want to have longer trial period (so something that is not externalized via activity, like email wording for example).
Is anyone here running pipewire-pulse successfully? I have a bunch of apps that expect PulseAudio to be present, but no matter what I tried (appx. half a year ago), I could not get any output from pipewire-pulse. Has this improved?

Off topic: for people with a "million billion" objects, does the S3 console just completely freeze up for you? I have some large buckets that I'm unable to even interact with via the GUI. I've always wondered if my account is in some weird state or if performance is that bad for everyone. (This is a bucket with maybe 500 million objects, under a hundred terabytes)

I think that expiry of documentation is a great idea, but it could go further:

- Often, teams "own" stuff but the real knowledge is stuck inside individuals. This type of thing would need to survive the relentless reorg cycle that seems ubiquitous in tech companies.

- The health sector seems to have longer overall tenures than the tech sector. At the very least this kind of system should somehow link into the HR administration, so that if a document owner leaves there can be an alert "This document is now unowned!". Of course, that alert also needs someone to monitor that.

- What would you use as a metric for the asset-ness of knowledge? Some types of knowledge seem more important than others, but it is not clear to me how to quantify that.

Your point about digital minimalism is very good though. A lot of things that should be deleted are instead kept around in a form of digital hoarding behavior.
One of the best things that came out of Amazon was the popularization of writing memos to ensure the meeting organizer and attendees had thought out the problems they are trying to solve upfront and use the meeting time to read and make a decision. Arguably how meetings should be conducted if you're into the Peter Drucker/Andy Grove philosophy.

Just about everything in this article are principles I value in any company. When you have a "write it down" culture, you get all these benefits and then some. What I have noticed in big tech however is the anti-pattern that most people in lower leadership positions are often mediocre writers and politician players. The best writers? Usually individual contributors or leading entire organizations.

For developers who don't like to write, but like to express their ideas, I've found a "RFC" (request for comments) process to really clarify the thinking, get the right feedback, and ultimately make teams make higher quality decisions together before writing any code.

Anyway you put it, a culture of writing is crucial for success.
This is not correct, you can update to the latest version of Safari on all supported versions of macOS. Currently, Safari 15 is available all the way back to macOS Catalina (from 2019...)
For MacOS this is not true. You will get Safari stable decoupled from the operating system going back two versions (Catalina and Big Sur). What you cannot run is Safari Technology Preview, that is available only for the current OS version.
