Why would this be news? B+ trees do not scale, it's why log-structured merge trees were invented.

Unfortunately, cross-table joins don't shard or scale well unless the data is well suited to a large scale sharding (like "customer" or "region". You'll probably start doing "data lake" type frameworks for join calculations across shards.

If you are sharding a database due to scale that modern big machines can't handle, you'll probably want to move your largest tables to cassandra or dynamo or other purely scalable approaches.

> It's _your_ company now, go help improve it!

If it were me, my answer would be:

On my first day? Before my first paycheck? Before I know what I'll be doing, who I'll be working for, whether any of that is going to be remotely humane or professional?

No. I will not start looking for independent process tweaks and improvements on hour 1, while being onboarding-hazed. Give me a reason to care about this gig, first.

There's a huge distance between "I accepted the offer and will do my best as a professional to earn my paycheck" and "This is my company, my community, and I have a personal interest in improving it in ways outside of my role". Meeting the bar for the first one is on me. Making me want to meet the bar for the second is on the company; good workplaces will give me reasons to get there, mediocre or bad ones won't.

I've now excluded "escalator", thanks
Thanks for linking, and it's definitely a more polished version of what I was thinking - but after I discussed it with various researchers, as I noted in the post, the forum post is mostly material removed from the paper as interesting but primarily a side point.
Probably "and/or".

Iceland has one of the highest GDPs per capita (in the top 12 says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi... ) and high median wealth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_pe... ).

That was through exploitation (power generation and fishing), but not genocide.
Armour replaces heavy cavalry of yore. It's a halfway between a highly
mobile (light infantry) and defensible posture. But armour is itself
vulnerable. One has to remember the chess analogy is quite powerful,
each capability is _against_ some other enemy capability but _only_
within some context. Armour without infantry and anti-air support is
useless.

What Putin has used is the "Armoured Assault", not really effective
since Germany's Panzerwaffe. It's the tactic not the equipment that's
out of date.

From [1]

> circa 1934: "Basil Liddell Hart, now concluded that the defense had
become much the stronger form of war and that armoured offensives
would come to grief against a properly organized enemy."

They absolutely could have built an ARM chip.

The fact that Microsoft has released several ARM laptops but selected Qualcomm to provide the processors suggests that Intel at least had an opportunity to play the game, they just never came to the table. It’s hardly Microsoft slowing them down when Microsoft is ahead of Intel on this, but their reluctance to push forwards means that they are now behind.

It’s not Microsoft’s job to push intel anyway, it’s intels job to create a product so compelling that their partners adopt it. If they want the support of major Linux distros, they just have to write it themselves rather than wait for volunteers to do their work for them.
Every country on the planet is a byproduct of exploitation and genocide. Some countries where just "better" at it.
I think you are over-thinking it. C-levels don't hire the details, they hire the leaders who will decide on a case-by-case basis what their team needs. CTO vs. CIO tends to be semantics more than structured roles - each company will have their own flavor for those titles. Likewise, different sized companies and different industries will have different hiring practices at all levels.

Your question makes it sound like you are looking for more structure than really exists - like many things, this line of questioning is going to land on the unhelpful answer of "It depends."
> operating a motor vehicle is a responsability and privilege

Responsability yes, but a privilege?

If public transport were abundant and pervasive everywhere in the world that would be true. Freedom of movement is a basic right and in a lot of places, you can not enjoy that right unless you have a car.
So, in order to exploit and pillage colonies, you need to already be so overwhelmingly more powerful and rich than they that you can colonize them.

Otherwise, you're just warring with your neighbors (does anyone say the Norse colonized the Saxon land of England? Did the Normans colonize France?)

So the question remains: How did Europe quickly go from inferior to their neighbors in the ~1200s to colonizing the world by the 1700s?
Modern JavaScript grew up in the culture of “move fast, break things”. Combined with JavaScript having a limited “vocabulary” and being the new PHP, you end up with a lot of churn as people start building large applications without the tooling for it.

Those who’ve never done it? Mmmm, no. It’s the opposite of what you say, and not a “meme” but reality. Citizenship based taxation instead of reasonable residency based taxation is vexatious, obdurate, and I’ve done it regularly and am doing it now. Those defending the US system are the ones who have never done it - or are at best passers-by with no financial planning or career path (including a pension) or family, taking a few years abroad on a modest salary and go home.

As an American working abroad who is about to wire the IRS a ridiculous sum of my money earned while living and working in a home for a company that happens to not be in the US, I assure you the exemption you refer to (FEIE), which is CAPPED at that $107K, is insufficient. That is because it covers wage income only and has numerous other limitations, including complete ineligibility if taken in conjunction with the other weak avenue (FTC) to only mildly offset a policy that should not exist to begin with.

Retirement, foreign investment (which is local to me) such as company equity, home sales, etc gets taken away by a country to which I have no ties other than citizenship. The FTC/FEIE, which by the way you can’t combine and which allows only one selection per eight years, does not free you of this and leaves you still sending huge amounts of your earnings to the IRS pointlessly after paying taxes to where you actually live and work.

No other developed nation does this. The US’s extraordinary system of extraterritorial taxation severely harms me and 9 million Americans abroad. We are already paying taxes where we actually live and work. No one else but American citizens have to “send money home.” And forget about self employment - it’ll destroy you. Solely by virtue of your passport. Don’t even start me on FATCA, a horrific intrusion preventing many of us from getting bank accounts - for the same issue domestic politicians recently defeated (remember the outrage over Treasury wanting to inspect accounts with over a certain amount of money deposited? We actually live that).

In case it’s not obvious, I am an American living abroad balancing a career and financial plan with this horrid system. Definitely not someone who’s “never done it.” There are activist groups for this among other Americans dealing with this draconian nonsense, but we are up against the aforementioned - as well as, I’m sorry to say bluntly, poorly informed sentiments from people who actually have “never done it” - or for whom it was trivial, as you say, because they were lucky or young enough to have no serious financial obligations or concerns.

Never mind the fact that it’s wholly unnecessary and legally simply a relic of the Civil War, likely generates very little for IRS vs how much it costs, and continues only because the tax prep industry (eg TurboTax) has a strong lobby vs disempowered citizens writing to disinterested lawmakers. This is the only reason it still exists. Defending this ridiculous practice makes absolutely no sense if you don’t work for one of these companies.

Thanks. I've excluded it
One of the most important things a FOSS (and not only) engineer can do is learn to say no.

And then decide if they do it for fun, or want money. There may be some overlaps, but it should be crystal clear which is the main one. This is 100% their choice. Trying to sit on two chairs usually ends in misery.

And if they treat it as a hobby (fun) and a company, NASA or someone else needs a fix or a feature ASAP, well, they can always do it themselves. You do it if and when it works for you. The software will likely be better that way, too. My 2c.

Reminds me a line in the song "Lucky like St. Sebastian" about the desire to be a martyr - "Scenes like this give sadomasochism a bad name". In it he laments that his unrequited love is not as "divine" as Dante's trip into the inferno and says "The tragedy is no ones dying!"

This distinction dos not make sense. The laws in the Bible is literally given by God.
The psychological version of Long COVID
People living in areas without public transport should have driveways and/or garages. Driving an average 14,000 miles a year or 40 miles a day, or 13kWh, is easily charged from the power you get out of a standard socket overnight, 1kWh per car, less than a space-heater.

If you live in a city and thus don't have a private parking space, then you should be using mass transport. Cars don't work in high density areas.

I live in the country in the UK, I do have a bus, it runs 6 times a day and doesn't go in the right direction or right times for most purposes, but the total mileage we do is easily charged from an extension lead, and solar on the roof would provide more 15,000 miles of power over a year - far more than we use.

However the cost of both an electric car and the solar installation isn't worth it, because we don't pay externalities for the carbon production.
The potentially illegal/unconstitutional part of it is the prevention of abortions.

Encouraging citizens to bounty hunt each other... that's the novelty that the other states are copying.

These creepy "see something, say something" laws turn neighbor against neighbor, criminalizing behavior that would otherwise be considered acceptable, and turn passive observers into active enforcers for the sake of profit.
Oh, I meant in the sense that this book will not bring you obscure information or something really new if you have read more than some books from Stoics.

Also, I don't think there's such a thing as a "stoic blind adherent", as self criticism is a big part of it. Examples would be Cicero, highly regarded by later Stoics as an egocentric asshole, or the early cinics, that molded stoicism for the future by criticizing it.

You're merely describing the history of nearly all nations (at one point or another), which doesn't properly explain why some nations develop to a radical degree when it comes to the formation of industry, wealth, high productivity, innovation, technology, etc.

Vietnam - as one prominent example - has had repeated bouts of internal exploitation and genocide throughout its history, including in the post Vietnam War era by the ruling CPV dictatorship. That treatment didn't make them richer or more developed, the opposite did: liberalized markets, increased protections for property rights, global trade, manufacturing, paid labor with rapidly increasing wages, rapidly increasing productivity, and so on. The approach of exploitation and genocide destroyed potential and held them back, as it similarly did to numerous other Communist nations.

You have to pretend that all worker wages are inherently exploitation (that the business to worker relationship is always structured on worker exploitation), to believe that every rich nation primarily got there via exploitation.

If I base on the list, it seems that it was their California branch that was breached. No meaningful Azure or Windows source code was listed (which is hosted in Redmond) and a lot of Bing and Cortana ones (which are primarily developed in California).

Although source code leakage is bad, it should be noted that most governments already has copies of the Windows and Office source code access through legitimate means (Source Sharing agreements).

That's an expensive feature request.

The friction is there because that's the cheapest/fastest way to go live.

It is a leaky funnel, but most early products have leaky funnels.

You might also consider working on softening your tone.

Instead of "you should" which might be appropriate in a code review, consider using the language "have you considered."
> The clean solution from a micro architectural point of view would be to have an overflow bit (or whatever flags you wanted) in every integer register.

That's what the Mill CPU does. Each "register" also had the other usual flags, and even some new ones like Not a Result, which helps with vector operations and access protection.
It does take decades to grow old and senile. And also to get such a bad reputation for divisiveness.

Scaling isn’t some kind of universal property.

WhatsApp won because it used phone number as login and SMS messages as the authentication, automatically copy and pasted from the SMS without the user even knowing, ensuring a spam free network with zero friction to “log in”.

I remember thinking how genius and novel the approach was, and all the people in my family, even the old, non English speaking, non computer literate people immediately knew how to use it. All you had to do was point people to the app, and they needed no more hand holding.

Of course, it was also a great cross platform user experience, and came about at the exact time mobile phones were blowing up, but I think the differentiating factor was the extreme ease of sign in, in combo with that same mechanism cutting spam made it an obvious choice. Just logging into software with username and password was a big UI hurdle back then for the older people in my family, and probably still is.

I specifically remember one use case that WhatsApp fixed and that google/apple/Microsoft had no answer for. Sharing contacts. It was so hard to share contacts with non tech literate people, and I do not know why all the other messengers by the big companies could not do it, but WhatsApp made it dead easy to send and receive properly formatted contact information.
Not just America. I guess most (all?) countries have that problem.

In Germany, Hitler built the whole Autobahn system in a couple of years. Now it takes 8 years to upgrade a 5km stretch of the Autobahn from 2 to 3 lanes.

Yes, Nazi Germany was using lots of slave labor, but these days we have so many machines that it would require much less workforce to achieve the same result. Yet, you often see construction machinery standing idle next to the Autobahn for weeks, if not months, with no work being done
I see the benefit but:

1. I was trying to keep the UI very minimal.

2. ZIP codes are not universal / consistent.

3. I imagine any API I'd have to use for this would cost me.

I'm not against it though but it needs some thought.

Mongols are proof of the opposite. I'd argue that Europe got militarily advanced because European countries were literally constantly in a state of war and they had to adapt.
I agree that embryos are not people. However, modifying the genome of an embryo that you intend and expect to become a human is modifying the genome of that human.

Therefore, if it would be unethical to do it to the human, it’s unethical to do it to the embryo.

What I don't understand is that the truck drivers are here delivering packages to help the citizens! Like I want my amazon driver to not be harassed when delivering stuff to my house, and I want restaurants and business around me to be resupplied easily so I can go to them.

The consequences you mention, feel more like a consequence of us demanding X amount of goods in our cities each day, and having no other infrastructure to get them there besides trucks, than the drivers individual malfeasance.
This can happen (rarely I think) but it will be fixed soon!
>Azov is helping defend Ukraine.

>What excuse could Gabbard have to hang out with the SSNP?

The same.

To believe otherwise is to believe that the US imperialism in the Middle East is justified and that any group that stands against it, is morally wrong.

Also, apparently Mrs. Gabbard's involvement with the SSNP was limited to some US businessman who helped finance her trip, who essentially was buddies with someone, whose cousin knew a guy who was sympathetic to the SSNP. So you're already overstating your case.

I'm worn out by the news, the transparent propaganda on both sides, the screaming for war from some small but vocal groups, and the general feeling of doom when I think about what is happening in Ukraine.

I have no faith in the MSM any more, and I find the war news is also infecting other areas of life.

I think, having been bombarded with claims and counter claims for the last few years, and seeing media shutting down discussion that doesn't fit, I am utterly exhausted by it.

> I think a lot of people on forums focus on the difficulty and gameplay aspects because they're easier to have a conversation around.

The key is that there is probably a fairly uniform consensus that the art direction is good, while the topic of game difficulty is a more volatile topic and one where there is more room for debate.

And, of course, most forum users cannot brag about how beautiful the game is, but they can implicitly brag about how good they are at the games by disputing the difficulty.

Or indeed explicitly brag by affirming the difficulty but making it clear that they did it with their eyes shut.

I mean that's what forums are for, right? Peacock feather displays?

Personally, I've never really played these games, but from what I've seen they don't look particularly difficult -- provided that you dodge within a certain number of frames, know your enemy before charging in, and avoid trying to play the games as you might approach something with faster-paced combat.

The devs say you're supposed to die -- to learn. Not all that difficult then? They're just tailored for a certain type of gamer, like most games.
> Help streamlining onboarding! Ask your manager about your desk! Maybe they just forgot!

If you are joining an organization of this size. There are zero people interested in learning about your feelings on onboarding.

Europe was able to colonize because it was already rich and technologically advanced. By 1700, more than 50 years before the British East India company came to control India, the UK had more than double the per capita GDP of India, and the Netherlands had more than quadrupled the per capita GDP of India.

Note of course that India was already a colony at the time. The origin of Arabs is 8,000 miles away from where I was born, but I have an Arabic last name. Guess how that happened.
