I agree that everyone has their own journey, I don’t agree that life is equally difficult. But I do think we should think very carefully before making any attempt to try to equalize life to avoid making it worse. For example, I think grievance culture is counter productive.

Personally, I have ADHD by way of a genetic mutation. As I get older (30s) I’m getting more and more chronically fatigued. Something I presume is plaguing Hannah as well - it tends to kick in ~20s. I also think my crazy math ability is liked to it as well. While I would swap CFS for a lot of other disabilities I’m not so sure about giving up my math ability.
I would actually love to work at a company like that. I've been a professional developer for over 20 years now and at least in my experience, too much unneeded complexity has been the root cause of so many defects and product failures. I'm constantly fighting battles to keep things simple. All the young devs on my team want to use every fancy new technology that passes by, but I just want things to work for my customers with the smallest amount of downtime and late night pages.

If a single JSON file worked at the time, then that's clearly all they needed. It certainly hasn't seemed to limit their success.
Unions in France are weaker and less prevalent than in many European countries. They organize strikes more often because that's often their only bargaining chip.

In my current role at Robi Axiata Ltd. which is the second largest of Bangladesh, I am tasked & assigned Binge, a newly initiated OTT platform by this MNC. I have achieved skills & experience on Digital Sales, Retailing, Distribution, Partner Management & Marketing by getting assigned in three different positions in my total period.
Nah... I'm mostly retired and staying that way. Good luck to the next wave as one of them can go get my old job if they'd like. People have wanted boomers out of the way and so at least one of them is giving way.
No, it actually doesn't. The blog post explains "Hey, we've chosen a bunch of crazy ways to store data on the backend. We looked at non-crazy ways, but decided instead it'd be more fun to rsync SQLite data around because SQLite is my favorite DB!"

> MySQL (or PostgreSQL) would come next. I’m not particularly familiar with anything MySQL post 1998, but I’m sure it would work. The HA story for open source databases is somewhat surprising, though: you can either have traditional lagging replicas, or commit to no-primary-replica clusters that have very surprising transaction semantics. I wasn’t excited about trying to design a stable API or good network graph calculations on top of those semantics. CockroachDB looked very promising, and indeed still does! But it’s relatively new for a database and I was a little concerned about getting attached to features in a fresh DBMS that would be hard to migrate away from if we needed to.

Seriously.. consider this.. they are worried about the transaction semantics of using db replicas and instead CHOSE SQL LITE!

>> Now, the cacophony of a popular video game arcade...

We’ve got maybe half a dozen arcade bars here in Toronto that are so popular lines form out the door virtually every Friday and Saturday night - particularly awesome is the TILT arcade bar around Bathurst and Dundas.

It’s an insane deal, too - $5, taxes in, gets you all you can play for pretty much as long as you’d like to stay there. They have dozens of original arcade cabinets, from fighters to light gun games to a double cabinet Mario Kart that you can do 2P versus on.

They even have booths with retro consoles like N64, SNES, Sega Genesis, etc; so people can play Mario Kart 64, etc. It’s seriously magical.

It’s brought arcades back in a way that I thought I’d never experience again - but now that I’m 32 I can enjoy a beer while my girlfriend and I beat the shit out of each other on a genuine Street Fighter II cabinet.

The cacophony of the arcade is very, very much real at these places, and TILT is one of my favourite date night places in the city. :)

Maybe the trend hasn’t hit your city yet - I know most major cities in the States have similar places - but arcades are not only alive and well, but thriving; and have been given a second lease on life that few dead industries get.

> There's no way someone can't picture their mom in their head.

No matter how limited your thinking of other's experiences, I don't consciously see an image of anyone or anything at anytime while awake, in mind. Period. I know exactly what my mom looks like, but I still love her with all my heart. She is aware that I can't see her in mind and has said that she always knew I was different, but loves me just the same! I guess she "makes up" for my lack of this ability, given she can take herself back anywhere at anytime and see anyone that was there in that place in excruciating detail. It's a bit odd, but she has reported she can't see people in mind she doesn't love. I view this as a "tag" on which she is able to recall the images...
Minimizing to the Dock felt similar to me, coming from XP, and didn't take up extra space in the Dock, which was visually pleasing. These days, my Dock is basically only key apps, 2 printer aliases and a few folders I access regularly.

This is one of the worst 5000-word essay attempts I've seen in a long time. It's trying to describe and prescribe for an important topic but meanders aimlessly through a forest of ill-defined abstractions, and falls into an conceptual swamp.

Just one example, what does'The Age of Neurodiversity' mean? Definition please? In a world in which, for most of human history, shamans (about as weird as you can get) majorly figured in cultures around the world for thousands and thousands of years? A world which most of us find ourselves struggling to understand so we can build, then built structures which have mostly been abandoned? While we struggle to understand the meanings and/or purposes of our lives? Not to mention our personal emotions and limitations?

Our attempts to clutch out some concept of normality are hilarious.

Le Guin: " Imagination, working at full strength, can shake us out of our fatal, adoring self-absorption, and make us look up and see—with terror or with relief—that the world does not in fact belong to us at all."
If you're dinging them for not using Cockroach, they explained why they're not using Cockroach in the exact paragraph you quoted: if they use Cockroach, they're committing to the scaling and distribution system that Cockroach provides, which might or might not be a good fit for them 2 years from now. If it isn't a good fit, they're stuck with a huge engineering bill to get themselves out of Cockroach.

We're moving towards sqlite for things for the same reason. sqlite is simple to reason about. The distributed state problem not simple, but our distributed state problem is not Tailscale's and theirs isn't yours; every distributed state problem is unhappy in its own way. As they work out the contours of their specific distributed state problem, sqlite isn't the component that's going to break down.
Why is that not accurate? Nature is just physical processes. Those physical processes taking their course is really all nature does. You could call it “righting itself” or “destroying itself” and I’d say you’re equally right, because the same physical process occurs without moral judgement, and your connotation is just you applying your human morality to the situation
That is a very interesting idea my friend.
This is the first time I'm hearing this. Can you please elaborate? Thanks
Desktop distributions exist because users like and will pay for complete experiences and the effort to make yet another Ubuntu derivative lie virtually entirely in the parts that you choose to develop not in packing it up into Elementary.

It also means you can update your software on your own schedule with modifications where necessary instead of being sandbagged into working around someone else's limitations on their schedule.

Furthermore the general desktop for everyone space and the server space are literally the only ones on planet earth that have enough Linux users for a reasonably sized community.

> Two major desktops are already a bit much for such a narrow market.

Basically there needs to be at least one environment that isn't crap. Gnome

- Has a weirdly bad way of handling multiple monitors

- Requires twice as many steps to perform common operations via its graphical interface

- Relies on hot corners which are both possible to trigger by accident and hard to organically discover. It also makes a lot less sense with multiple monitors.

- Spent the first 8 years of gnome 3 constantly leaking memory until it fell over if you left it on too long. This was caused by a weird mismatch between its javascript desktop and its compiled code that was too hard to fix so they decided to just constantly run the garbage collector and marveled at how not horrible this performed in actuality.

- Deprecates features that people use without replacement. See tray icons for a literal decade

- Has repeatedly has major figures in its development promote the idea of removing themeing and extensions in favor of a vanilla gnome experience. An experience that is notably lackluster.

- Has no addon API forcing addons to monkey patch the javascript desktop ensuring such efforts can trivially fail on any version update and addons that aren't actively developed will stop working.

- Worse if they crash they especially under Wayland take down the entire session

- Lacks basic features in its file manager

I could go on.

The basic problem is confusing an ecosystem of compatible software for a company with labor resources that can be allocated to different tasks that is somehow needlessly wasted on developing two different desktops. Eliminate KDE and you don't get a stronger gnome you get a weaker one because someone passionate about KDE doesn't magically become a gnome developer because they aren't reallocated by their manager to work on a similar project you just lose incidental contributions to mutually useful parts of the open source ecosystem and less cross fertilization of ideas.

What program do you need more than say 20 shortcuts for?
Kernel side something clever almost certainly will be figured out eventually just not in time for the 5.18 release (or probably following release either realistically). User space side it doesn't matter if there is an absolutely trivial clever fix available you can't just break it without extremely good reason.

Note: Extremely good reason for breaking userspace is along the lines of "/dev/random has been found to be insecure causing mass security mayhem" not "man I'd really like to ignore the 0.01% of users this would cause an issue for so I can get my patch in faster".

Speaking as someone who has had to fix things like this...

When you reach capacity and it hits a screaming halt as the hardware capacity has been reached and performance doesn't collapse its completely gone.

This is not about best use. Hell json file performance may be well within spec of the system requirements, but jumping up and down without perf numbers or specs is typical of sweep it under the carpet for a generation...

Umm no.

There is a lot of things we don't know about autism. One thing we definitely do know is that it is not caused by vaccines. We know this as this has been well studied due to the whole vaccine conspiracy theory.
My understanding is that unions in the US are much weaker. It's hard to talk about all of Europe because...there's a lot of countries I'm with different histories, laws, and culture around this.

In the US a union is tied to a workplace. A single company, often a single location. This is by design of the NLRA.

Corporations fight to limit the size of the bargaining unit, to make the unions less powerful. This Amazon warehouse is unionized, but the other warehouses are not unionized and warehouses over a FooBar Corp. are not unionized. Each of these unions has to work out their own contract and bargain independently even if they all work for the same company.

This gives the workers less leverage and makes it easier for US Corps to pit workers against each other.

In Germany and elsewhere in Europe, unions are also organized by sector. You could have a national Warehouse workers union, which sets working conditions for all warehouse workers. This gives them significantly more leverage and makes it difficult to do the kind of "we shut down this store and open another" tactic that you see in the US.

I'm sure there's a variety of other differences, but I don't think it's fair to characterize EU unions are weaker.
Right.

I feel like so many people seem to work within this rigid framework of like, "this is what some people do so it's the only way".

You see it all the time on here. e.g. "cryptocurrencies are easily traceable because exchanges". Ok, so hi, I'm me, I'll sell you a bitcoin.

Trivially disproved.
There is a menu of ECC algorithms out there. We have seen some of them were backdoored, and there are probably more of those.

If you aren’t sure which ones are safe, it might be better to use RSA from a standard source (OpenSSL, PGP, SSH etc).

Users don’t implement algorithms, and don’t cares if they are hard to program.
I think browsers are comparable to operating systems, and if we look at the richness of the Linux ecosystem, I'd say it can't hurt to have a few more browsers and browser engines. For example, most users wouldn't see the utility of Arch linux. And yet Arch linux is the backbone of Docker. Perhaps a new browser engine can fill a similar niche, targeting low resource usage and light browsing

> I don't doubt that Hannah Gadsby is weird but I think life is hard for everyone, including normal people. I think the struggles she enumerates are common: most of us have crises of identity or meaning, many of us feel intense insecurity, cut off and isolated from others. This isn't to minimize her suffering, it's to say that suffering is normal.

"Everyone feels those things you describe" was how coworkers and supervisors dismissed a partner's attempts to seek accommodation for their auditory processing disorder.

This person had test results showing they struggled significantly more than others in noisy environments to focus or understand spoken language, and showed them to said coworkers and supervisors, who still insisted that "everyone finds that stuff distracting." Yes, but here are the scientifically validated, objective test results showing it is significantly worse for them was her response. They didn't care. They decided that "everyone goes through this sort of thing, this person is just fragile."

Your attitude is also strikingly similar to how people dismiss talk of racism and sexism. "I'm a guy and people are sexist to me" and so on.

> I have a strong objection to people who freely talk about negative experiences.

Says the person who went out of their way to post a comment complaining about people seeking accommodation for their disabilities (and I might add, has decided that they're mostly all a bunch of fakers.)

> Some of the people I respect the most have had extremely negatives experiences but mention them only with great reluctance.

Maybe they only mention them with great reluctance is because you're not a safe person to mention them around.
I can't believe I never thought about this. You don't have any drudgery and it doesn't really matter if you lose your job so your work is your leisure time. You're just playing.

Okay, time to get rich.
I can design a CPU that reads the operating system’s clock (easy-peasy) and is actually a time bomb that does something at a predefined time.

You could now argue that we can use some workbench that simulates these conditions, but then I will catch you on the fact that you can also determine that random output is changed (statistically for example) for some parameters of the system.

Either way enumerating all of these parameters is intractable due to the size of the search space.

Same thing goes to the fact that you can’t definitely say whether your CPU will always do what it says it does, purely because you can’t enumerate all possible execute paths as they are infinite.

Nice work! I use a obsidian with reminder plugin and I end up writing something similar:

- [ ] work (@2022-04-04)

I like the priority features though, didn't think of that, but I haven't needed it much (I try to keep them in order of priority)
Who wants to when you have an inkling to use your computer go to the bother of going to a hard wired computer and turning on the network. It is an absolutely ridiculous workflow which we have absolutely no reason to believe has any benefit whatsoever. You might as well hop on one foot and turn in a circle while making the sign of the evil eye.
> Honest question: what do the sqlite authors think of litestream?

Litestream author here. Dr Hipp and his team reached out when I first released Litestream and we had a video call together. They were fantastic. Really friendly and down to earth. I explained how I put together Litestream and we went back and forth on different approaches. They were really helpful with understanding some of the shared memory stuff that's what makes the new read replication work. They ended the call by asking me if there's anything they could help with or anything I needed.

> I guess I'm wondering if it's a recommended/supported mode of operation in sqlite.

I don't think the SQLite team endorses any tooling outside of what they build AFAIK. So in that sense, no, it's not officially supported. However, the API for maintaining checkpointing is publicly available and there are docs for controlling it from outside processes (which is what Litestream does).

> What are the failure cases? How much data can you lose?

Litestream is designed so that it keeps retrying in the event that you can't connect to a replication destination. S3 is pretty reliable so it may be a network outage that could cut you off. You can also enable Prometheus metrics to be reported out of Litestream if you want to add monitoring and alerting.

As far as data loss, by default it's setup to bundle database changes together every 1 second, compress them, and upload them to somewhere like S3. So your window for data loss is 1 second unless S3 goes down.

You can also run regular backups with the SQLite CLI and upload those as a fallback. That's what I typically do since it's really cheap and easy to setup an hourly cronjob and I'm overly paranoid. :)
Who is it even offensive to? The target is dead, so it's not him. If insulting dead people is a crime, how far back do you have to go to be safe?

> sqlite is amazingly simple for local dev

You are buying simpler local dev with a more complicated and error prone production.

> High availability Postgres is complex to operate

High available SQLite is complicated. More complicated by the fact that SQLite wasn't designed at all around the notion of being a multi-tenant database system. Instead, you've got to bolt on solutions to fix the fact that you chose SQLite.

Containers make local dev with postgres or other db technologies pretty slick. I have a hard time buying the "oh no, but then we need to run docker" because docker containers have added benefits often simplifying local dev (All your dev tools defined in the docker file. Done, new dev installs docker and moves from there).

> sqlite is, again, simpler. Litestream makes sqlite plausible for production.

SQLite is a fantastic tool, when it's used in the right location. A backend database is not the right location for SQLite. Litestream may make it "plausible" but it certainly doesn't make it a sane choice.
https://www.reuters.com/business/amazons-union-vote-counts-s...

It’s currently… 47% pro-union to 53% no-union in Alabama, with over 15% (400+ ballots) challenged by both sides. It could go either way, but “more than 10%” is not backed by any metrics.
Managed DBs have tremendous lock in. Just try migrating off RDS with zero downtime. You can't, because they've "managed" your ability to configure external replicas. Then built a whole brittle data migration service that probably won't work for your DB.
