I find it surprising that:

- The team was not able to sufficiently diagnose the bad query program, and/or devise emergency mitigations, by 1400 UTC March 17 (24h after the first incident).

- They were not able to reduce the load on the db more quickly (eg; cranking up rate limiting, shutting down async or noncritical services and features, etc). At $prevjob we had the ability to do things like this at the push of a button, and generally would have within 90min of incident onset to help systems heal. Here they did eventually figure out they could throttle webhooks but it took several days of repeated incidents.

- They did not see connections creeping up towards their limits and have emergency mitigations prepared in case of spikes like this.

- The simple failover described on March 22nd (for example) took almost 3h to complete.

- They decided to enable profiling during the approximate time window of their load spikes, without sufficient resources.

- They lept to failover their db when the proxy had issues, when it seems the failover can take multiple hours to successfully complete(??).

- They did not have sufficient sampled trace/log data to form a hypothesis without this profiling.

- New services like Packages and Codespaces rely on the `mysql1` primary db.

Certainly I have much empathy for the responding teams – I have scars from responding to some very painful degradations myself – but as a Github customer this does leave me concerned.
I was curious about the PCB they have on that gold test rig: searching for "IST Sterileboard" eventually lead me back to that very article, even though those words aren't mentioned in text or source and the test in the image isn't especially prominent (and it's upside-down).

So, I suppose quite a bit of OCR is being done on images by search engines, which seems obvious in retrospect, but I hadn't really noticed before.

how would this work in practice? if the contract is to guarantee decryption, wouldn't the key(s) also need to be on chain? how do you keep the secret?
It is arguable whether or not Bitcoin counts as part of Web3. I would argue it is the original Web3 technology (blockchain) and so it is an essential component of web3. Also, I understand Bitcoin the best so can make a stronger case for it than NFTs or other Web3 concepts.

I would argue that one of the core reasons why Bitcoin was invented was to separate money from state and create a new form of quasi-money quasi-digital gold that could prevent powerful central actors from arbitrarily manipulating it’s supply based on their whims and desires. Bitcoin was born out of the ashes of the great financial crisis.

The Bitcoin genesis block famously contains a quote from the Times of London which reads as follows: “Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks.”

You may not personally see that as a problem, but I do as do many others. Bitcoin does introduce it’s own problems but I would argue that it does an excellent job of fixing the problem of allowing for a money free from government control, with censorship resistant peer-to-peer payments (remember the Canadian truckers?), no counter-party risk, and predictable inflation policy for the next 100 years.

Yes it is slow and inefficient and it uses a lot of energy and it is also volatile, but it also allows for things that were never possible before it existed.
I don't like the language here. It's a business it's not summer camp. "Force" is so entitled.
Yeah, according to HN, the invasion was mostly the NYT's fault...

Realistically, there is zero chance the invasion would have happened without exaclty that trio of President, Sec-State & VP, plus or minus a Wolfowitz.

But the Republicans successfully goaded some Democrats into voting for it by threatening to taunt them. The US public needed some more important foreign blood to be spilled than Afghani. And that's the way the cookie crumbled...

Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to up-skill in something that can enhance your personal or professional life?

Sure, one can learn about OpenFaaS with this project, but is there truly a market demand for it? And how does it benefit the learner?
Illegal value?

That phrase stood out for me. What is a "form of illegal value"?
Can there be such a thing? Like dirty Bitcoin, how would you know?

Certainly the acts of pretexting, exploitation and exfiltration are
all illegal. But who is tracking data sets and marking this one
"illegal" and that one "legitimate"?

What I mean is, the article offers a rather simple world-view of stolen
data being sold on the "darkweb" (shudder). However, we know from
Cambridge Analytica and other scandals that people's data, obtained
without their consent, leaked, deanonymised, compiled, processed,
correlated, and is traded openly by so-called "legitimate
businesses". This isn't a couple of scallywags and ruffians fencing s
stolen bike, its a multi-billion dollar industry.

Data breaches don't just happen in isolation, like a burglar getting
lucky with some expensive jewels. There's a market. And without the
demand for data sets (perhaps exacerbated by data laws like GDPR)
there would be less motive, and fewer incidents.

It's precisely because the data has value that _cannot_ be
distinguished as legal or illegal that breaches are so lucrative. (I
wrote something on this a few years ago with regard to cyber-attacks
on Hollywood and music studios "Why Radiohead got hacked" [1])

Which leads me to wonder, as money notes are marked with anti-robbery
dye, whether data sets can be poisoned to make them not just worthless
in the wild, but an active liability. The entertainment business uses
watermarking as a deterrent (they can be removed of course - but at
cost). What about our PII and credentials?

Well, it’s not that hard to believe that crocodiles are at a local-maxima of the niche (but effective) category of sneak attack from under the water.

But evolution can’t really create absolute-maximums, e.g. going all the way to pig-like mammals (so descending from a different point) you get orcas that absolutely murder sharks in both meanings (where smartness is a huge huge advantage)
Her taxes likely went up by $2400 or so (plus whatever the state income tax on $20000 incremental is) and she paid $5K to the ISA.

So, seems like she kept around $12.5K of the $20K (less if she’s in a state that taxes income), which is an improvement to her life, but is less than +50% increase in her pocket.
I kinda love it, you take some people working for these big corps doing customers service, that are exploited and paid like shit, and give them money to f*ck their exploiters, that's awesome

>For sure I’m not saying there aren’t lessons, just that the type of people who cherry pick a few examples and take them as given proof of some historical trend aren’t likely to find these lessons.

You could say the same thing about any number of fundamental disciplines: “chemistry is survival,” “roof making is survival” “SQL is survival.” The truth is, there’s only so much time, and we each must specialize. Software that decreases the need for broad reaching high-specialization is a public good, and software that increases the need for specialized knowledge across all economic activity is hurting productivity, whatever the bean counters may say.
They could use multiple writer hosts and rollover the restarts. MySQL has had GTIDs since 5.6 and replication groups rather than writer-replicas since some 5.7.x version.

Really great work! It is exciting that people are working on alternative indexes of content, especially ones that prioritize content written by individuals for smaller audiences. The uBlock heuristic is an interesting way to capture that.

Matches well with our thesis we wrote about here: https://re-search.xyz/writing/mapping-the-new-world-towards-...

Disclaimer: We’re a research group that is also working on a new kind of search engine. Our approach is a little different though. We think that information is now scattered across different semi-open silos, so the future of search will not look like a search bar and ten blue links to web pages.

Outlook still calls time when you're not working "Out of Office". Being "in the office" means you are working, and part of the organisation.

So to what extent is the physical proximity of colleagues an essential part of that organisational belonging? Or is it just that prior to our current technological capabilities and the pandemic, being "in the office" was a necessary part of that belonging?

Not disagreeing, but the biggest efficiency boost is the wheel here without doubt.
Oh man, I should write a blog post about that, as I built that feature myself. It was meant to be a stopgap until we could get some real matchine learning in there, but nothing else we tried did as well.
First, for efficiency all recommendations were artist to artist,nl not song to song. That works well for a lot of genres but is pretty bad for others.
We started with a free DB of artist similarities, I don't remember where we got that from, maybe musicbrainz? We built a shitty internal interface for adding and removing links between artists and adjusting the weights of those links and then made it available to all employees to mess with. As you might imagine just about everyone there was passionate about music so it didn't take long to crowdsource a huge catalog of quality recommendations and then for really obscure stuff we would fall back to the open db.
So the actual algorithm would look at your seeds - artists you put in the queue before turning on radio or artists with songs that you liked while radio was on, pull the top n linked artists for each of your seed artists, and do some weighted shuffling. It would also make sure to space out artists so you don't hear the same one too often etc.
Then for genre radio we just secretly selected a bunch of artists we felt were representative of the genre and used those as the seeds.
Oh yeah and if you disliked a song we'd prevent that artist from playing for the rest of your session.
We also would look at anomalies like popular artists with not many recommendations, or artists that, when used as seeds, lead to shorter listening sessions (implying that the recommendations need to be cleaned up).
Most attempts to replace this with something smarter ran into 2 problems: 1. Popular stuff is popular, so it looks like a good recommendation for anything, and 2. ML is hard and takes a lot of time, which we never had enough of

My three rules of worrying:

2. Can I do something about it later? If so, wait til later,

3. There is nothing I can do. If so, there's nothing to worry about because I can't do anything about it.

I’m not sure what you’re saying is universally accepted when it comes to celebrities, politicians, just generally complicated people who are in the public eye. There is no rule that says that has to be the case, and I’m sure you can find a dozen obituaries that show the complexity of a person.

New Hampshire fits all your criteria.
1. Relatively affordable especially outside tourist areas
2. 90min of Boston, a big tech hub
3. No extreme heat, decent rainfall, tons of outdoor activities and nature. Ocean, Mountains, Forests
4. Not too far from DC
5. No income tax

As you probably know, South Carolina or North Carolina also fit all those criteria but might be too hot.
> majority of citizens can't afford a $1000 financial emergency without relying on subprime credit or family

What percentage of those are on their third or later always-financed, premium smartphone, have a $150/mo cable package, and a $150+/mo coffee habit, cook less than half their meals, are leasing a late-model car, etc.?

At some point in a long enough series of spending decisions, I think you have to consider responsibility a factor in being unable to afford $1000 unplanned expense.

I came from Cincinnati, and I would say almost all of those aren't true of Cincinnati, nor the other parts of Ohio I've lived in.

The weather is the worst I've seen, and I've lived in 4 states. The winter is freezing cold and snowy, and negative temps aren't uncommon. The summer is hot and unbearably humid. It also rains/snows constantly. I refuse to move back home specifically because the weather is horrid.

I would also describe the pay as bad. I saved several times more money living well in SF than I did living okay in Ohio. I don't live in SF anymore, but still, my rent is twice what it would be in Ohio but I earn 3x as much.

Cincinnati also had terrible public transit, but I wouldn't be surprised that Columbus has done better.

The only reasons I would move back are for family, or if I was totally done with the city and wanted somewhere I could buy 50 acres of land on the cheap. Even then, I'd probably still hop over the river to Kentucky. The hills add some character that Ohio's endless soybean and corn fields can't touch.
"Working hard" has been proven time and time again that doesn't work. Most of the success stories you heard of weren't because of hard work but because luck and connections.

One bullet can last you very long time. I have been eating the same deer as a single source of meat since January and I'm not even half there yet.

EuroPython 2022: Ticket Sales Open
It's an open secret that many of the heavy metal musicians on the 80s scene were huge nerds. John Elder Robison in his book Look Me In The Eye wrote about designing guitars with special effects -- they could belch smoke, etc. -- for major bands like KISS, and got to meet the band members. He did describe them as "nerds" (being very much on the spectrum, he would know) and said they had very technically detailed ideas for the cool things they wanted their instruments to do and made significant contributions to the designs.
Twitter has interpreted that GDPR compliance requires their storage/cache servers be able to securely authenticate the clients and prevent impersonation (and are using mTLS for that), and to be able to generate some level of audit logs to show which other services accessed the cache / accessed specific keys. Obviously the GDPR doesn't talk about mTLS or about exactly what granularity of auditing you need to be compliant. Whatever they wrote would not apply to half the systems, and quickly become obsolete for the rest.

But it just says that the processing must be secure (Article 32), and it's up to the companies to make a best effort estimate at what's appropriate security for the given application, and implement it.
Start investing at least 10% of what you make even if it's too little. 10 years of too little will mount to huge amount by your 30s. You won't realize how much you missed until you calculate it. Also use a budget app track every penny of your money. I suggest YNAB.

This is 100% a defense against antitrust investigations happening across the country.

It doesn't matter that users don't care, that they may never roll it out, or that it may never roll out beyond Spotify. Promises are free -- they can make as many promises as they want to try to blunt the inevitable litigation.

In return, they're getting one fewer enemy. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to pick up the other major developers antagonizing the app stores, like Match Group and Epic, using the same tactic.

Unfortunately, this shows even more dedication to the monopoly -- it's not dissimilar from dictators who allow their political opponents to live to make it seem like there's a democracy.
