Some of that is likely due to the method of use. It's anecdata, but most people I know with skateboards attempt to do tricks. I don't think I know anyone that does scooter tricks, and I only recall seeing one at skate parks when I was younger.

> intuitively though all of the danger present in a scooter also applies to a skateboard, with the added addition that a skateboard doesn't have brakes nor does it have a way to steer without leaning, putting yourself at risk of falling off.

Those may not be entirely bad things. It creates a feeling of danger that scooters tend to hide too well. I tend to feel out of control on a skateboard before I'm actually unable to control it. I tend to feel in control of a scooter until something happens and I realize I've had very little control the whole time.

That's my pet theory for why electronic scooter accidents are so common. The controls make it feel under control even when it isn't, which is how we end up with stupid stories like putting 2 people on a scooter and crashing at 20 mph. I strongly doubt normal people would go 20 mph on a skateboard, much less with a second rider.
I've recently started getting into computational archaeology and found the entire ecosystem is built around R, meaning I am now starting to learn about it. Anyone have a suggestion of the standard books/courses one should start with?

I found it pretty interesting that the alternative to R is Haskell for general CLI tools! Seeing some open issues in a popular tool for dealing with ancient DNA (aDNA) about making invalid states impossible within the type system made me genuinely laugh out loud in amazement. I didn't expect that level of technical knowledge within the world of archaeology.

There was a book length biography of Vannevar Bush published a few years ago -- "Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century" by G. Pascal Zachary that was quite good. The phrase "Endless Frontier" is a a reference to an essay that Bush wrote entitled "Science, the Endless Frontier" that argued for the continued federal funding of science after WWII.

On a dayjob closed-team project, if my coworkers are putting up PRs without making sure they meet functional requirements, that is a problem that needs to be solved several steps before the PR. If it's a junior person who doesn't know better, more working side-by-side with them to get to the PR. If it's a senior person dealing with a shitty spec, more discussion with PMs/designers before we start coding. If it's a senior person who's putting up broken code because they don't care...that's probably a management conversation.

I have to be able to trust that my teammates are doing their best to produce working components. Otherwise code review is a bandaid covering a hole in the hull of a sinking ship.
If you are leaking file descriptors in a production service it will absolutely break things. Generally most servers that aren't pushing the FD limit can get away with delayed reclamation of FDs but if you never claim them you will run into problems.

Plus most code probably handles this poorly. I suspect it will often result in exceptions opening new files or connection which are just caught and retried forever, resulting in your server locking up after some period of time. If you are lucky it just crashes and restarts. (The ultimate garbage collection.)

It's possible they are related, or also possible just coincidence. When I was 31 or 32 I had a bout of crazy chest pains.

Someone who decided to self-host their own source control system here, figured i'd comment about some of my experience due to some people mentioning it as an alternative. I've personally run GitLab in my own homelab for a few years but after some updates going wrong, i eventually moved over to Gitea, Nexus and Drone, also self-hosted: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

GitLab is a large and complicated piece of software, which is a double edged sword: you do get an integrated issue tracking solution, Docker Registry with integrated access controls, as well as a pretty decent CI solution, which is great. At the same time, however, there's a chance for one of those subsystems to start misbehaving and bring down the whole thing (e.g. Omnibus install with default configuration for where to store container images --> running out of space; especially relevant if you don't find a good way to clean up old images), which may or may not be harder to solve than having 3 separate integrated systems.

Also, GitLab is pretty resource hungry and migrating to another solution actually improved the performance of certain systems/parts of functionality bunches: Gitea is really fast, Drone CI is about on par with GitLab CI and Nexus is a bit faster than GitLab Registry, however also eats too much RAM (e.g. the same problem within both Ruby and Java, Nexus seems to fail to start up below having approx. 1 GB of RAM, GitLab needed at least 2 - 3 GB of RAM).

However, running GitLab at work is still a pretty good idea, as long as keeping the instance up and running, as well as updated is someone else's responsibility and you can focus on just being the end user. At the same time, however, the update paths can be problematic sometimes, as was the case with my container based Omnibus installation that was multiple major versions out of date.

But for personal use? The Gitea, Nexus and Drone setup is perfectly sufficient, alongside maybe some issue tracking software (be it Kanboard, OpenProject or something else). In short, to the folks who are considering self-hosting in the comments: you can definitely try it out and have it be a learning experience, maybe on an affordable VPS or a device you have laying around!

Furthermore, there's nothing really preventing you from mirroring your repos over and keeping them in multiple systems, alongside any backups that you might be making!
And what have you done?
Off topic but I can't stand when corporations use actual people's names for their marketing who never gave them the permission to do so. For something like Shakespeare or Cicero I'm OK with it but Grace Hopper was alive in my lifetime, and even Tesla feels a little weird.

It depends on the size of the company. At a large company, it seemed like people never really left the ecosystem. People find that "understanding how Microsoft works" is a highly paid skill that doesn't transfer well.

At one smaller company we had a lot of "boomerangs" - there was a new CEO and a new culture, and a niche talent pool in the industry. At first it was a sign that things had turned around. But after a while you get the sense that people who did this were kind of stuck in their career and horse trading their position around.
A 4K display at the same pixel density as this would be a 21” diagonal. MacOS does a relatively ok job of displaying a logical resolution of 1440p on a 4K display but windows just completely shits the bed with high dpi modes. Pixel-perfect logical 1440p on physical 5k looks better than the alternatives by a wide margin.
I'm sorry you had that experience with vaccines. I know it won't make much difference to you personally, but the truth is that these sorts of chest pains and heart problems are far more common in immune-naive people who are infected with covid than in people who get vaccines.

The manufacturer controls the only thing that matters: whether the autonomous driving system will engage. If the sensors are covered in mud or the tires are detected to be bald, the system can choose not to engage, disengage with a window for a human driver to take over, or pull over and disengage.

Talk about a racket. I have OSA pretty badly and can't do anything about it. These shrink-fit oral appliances would extend my lifespan by years, but I can't afford the thousands of dollars for a sleep study to get diagnosed to get a stupid prescription. Anybody who says the US has the greatest healthcare in the world obviously hasn't had to actually use it or has money falling out of their ears.
I also don’t agree with the concept, and I’ve had problems about with docket using a specific OS version but pulling in some minor software version which broke, so I think even if being slightly true, that statement represent something that might be solved by specifying minor versions for the packages you depend on, which is a level of effort compatible with the one you need on nix to specify packages hashes, so you can have both with docker, a strict and non strict approach, while I guess nix only supports strict
> near-certainty of heart damage (and likely brain damage) if you contract COVID while being unvaccinated

This is the first I've seen it presented as a near-certainty. Where is this documented?
You don't need to obsess over this, but you do need to remember that there has been, and continues to be a large pro-COVID faction that insists that getting everyone sick with it will be no big deal, because it only kills <0.X%> of people in <particular age range>.

They were, of course, speaking from a position of ignorance of long-term side effects, because the data wasn't yet in. It's been two years, and in many ways, the data is still not in yet.

We'll have another go-around[1] on the COVID rodeo next holiday season, if another dangerous variant emerges.

[1] Just because the news has forgotten about the virus, doesn't mean that the virus has forgotten about us. There are more daily worldwide cases right now, then there have been at any point prior to November 2021. That's a lot of opportunity for variants to mutate.
No maintenance and self driving is disabled.

Sure, Kubernetes can run a database, but not efficiently. Companies with intensive data infrastructure frequently operate at scale without containers, either VMs or bare metal. The larger the data volume, the less likely they are to use containers because efficiency is more important. It is also simpler to manage this kind of thing outside containers, frankly, since you are running a single process per server.

People have been building this infrastructure since long before containers, thousands of servers in single operational clusters. Highly automated data infrastructure without containers is pretty simple and straightforward if this is your business.
The reasons given for Dark Matter always begin with galaxy rotation curves (the galaxy rotation problem and the galaxy winding problem). But the problem with this "evidence" is that the observations were made of galaxies in isolation, but even galaxies are not gravitationally isolated.[1] I can not speak to the veracity of the rest of the evidence for Dark Matter, but galaxy rotation curves can no longer be counted as evidence of Dark Matter because they are more simply explained by a gravitational phenomenon caused by the out of frame mass of other nearby galaxies.

Juxt had a recent blog post covering the new Clojure (iteration) function in depth, which is useful for abstracting over sequences that require some state management to access, such as a paginated API.

"If you exclude the well performing languages java performs excellently."

But that is what I think OP means. It isn't top tier performance, but it is in the second tier which I wouldn't argue for qualifying for "relatively good".

FWIW I find that languages tend to fall into a couple rough performance groups:

- Native at about x1 performance: C, C++, Rust, Fortran

- Compiled GC at about 2x performance: Java, Go, Haskell, Lisp

- Dynamic at 20-50x native performance: Python, Ruby...

JS is a weird one that varies a lot depending on your workload and can sometimes look similar to compiled GC performance.
That's not an alternative model. And by that, I don't mean it doesn't have enough math, what I mean is that it doesn't offer any different methodology for improving our knowledge of the economy.

Thanks. My theory is there are 2 reasons:

1. Lawyers must really internalize an attitude of recognizing the limits of what they know. They have to speak precisely. They can't make claims they can't substantiate. They can't speculate. Sometimes lawyering involves making a lot of assessments of who knows precisely how much. It also involves dealing personally with a wide range of other subject-matter experts. So what you said about the adversarial process is correct, I think.

2. Many (not all) engineers seem to downplay non-STEM qualitative thinking. On phone, so hard to fully explain, but I think part of it is that they think that because what they do is specialized and hard, other stuff is easy. Lawyers are arrogant too, but in different ways.

Maybe non-STEM stuff is easier, but it has its own complications, and I think engineers are not inclined to see them.

Would like to hear if this is consistent with the experiences of others.
Ant tree looks like a great tree library and is certainly more mature than react-arborist. However, react-arborist supports renaming a node, has a slightly different drag and drop feel, and leaves all styling up to the user. Not just the title, icon, and expand buttons.

I agree that the hard-coded DefaultCursor styles need to be configurable. I'll soon update. You'll be able to pass in your own component to render the DropCursor (blue line indicating the new position of the node you're dragging).
I used RStudio to work through problem sets, textbooks, and ideas constantly during my time as an applied math student. My concentration was stats, but still found RStudio invaluable for pretty much every math class I took. I say RStudio specifically because it offered the complete package for what I needed at the time. Built-in graph viewing, workspace management, etc. As another commenter said, pretty much the best graphing/scientific calculator I could ask for.
Full disclosure, I work on Hyper-V. Are you thinking of these docs - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/api/hypervis... - or something else?
Hetzner Falkenstein was toured recently by a YouTuber and I didn't spot any fire suppression systems in the video [1]. OVH SBG1 (which was partially destroyed by the fire that wiped out SBG2) used shipping containers which also didn't appear to have any fire suppression systems [2].

By contrast, the typical data centers people know which have fire suppression systems appear to have much of their key electrical equipment (and control systems) located in the same area or adjoining rooms of the same facility [3] [4] [5] [6].

In fact, there is even a video recording of a UPS failure [7] showing a lucky case where no one was injured and not too much damage was caused. The employee lingered in the room when they should have immediately left at the first sign of danger. Arc flashes are a scary possibility as shown in [8] and [9] because of the need to switch multiple megawatts of electricity through complex power systems that includes UPS battery banks and automatic diesel generators.

There are video recordings demonstrating how fire suppression systems work [10] [11] and a description of how a data center would be designed to respond to a fire (including closing ventilation dampers) [12] [13]. I'm sure fire suppression systems are not cheap, but in the grand scheme of a data center full of millions of dollars of equipment (not to mention cost of customer downtime) surely it would make sense to install them.

Docker is heavier (and more dangerous) because of dockerd, the management and api daemon that runs as root. Actual process isolation is handled by cgroup controls which are already built into the kernel and have been for years. You can apply them to any process, not just docker ones.

However, Docker is essentially dead; the future is CRI-O or something similar which has no daemon and runs as an unprivileged user. And you still get the flexibility and process isolation, but with more security.
