I was trying to remember where I encountered the macOS Server app before, and why I once considered buying a license. Then I recalled:

I mean we could speculate at length but the condition you’re describing already exists. People have polar reactions to him. Some hate with a passion, some love him. As for boycott, I’m not surprised if a lot of people already feel like they won’t buy a Tesla. Hard to imagine it can get worse from here.
I lived on Dartmoor last year. I can testify that the broadband rollout stopped. We managed to get 5mb which wasn't so bad, the real problem was the connection would drop 2/3 times an hour. Fine for casual use but terrible for remote work.

Let me add my 2 cents. I thought wasting some of our smarter brains (smartest didn't fall for the bait) on ad tech and business school (to consulting sweatshops and now product managers) was bad but it seems like we're at the point of capital chasing _any_ old fad now.

From what I gather this is the Tesla of banks (comparing new kid on the block to the old guard – Tesla vs GM): meaning it's a modern bank with systems that run on something newer than COBOL with an open API. It's extremely cool and looks like it may set the standard of what banks must be in the future to compete with newer generations coming into the market.

EDIT: add " coming into the market" to the end
Does anyone know if Aurora PostgreSQL is a full drop-in replacement for Postgres, or is it "Postgres compatible" but missing some features (like CockroachDB, for example)? I am very interested in this service but some of my projects depend on Postgres-specific features.
Not really. It doesn't support OAuth, which is kind of silly (well, actually very silly).

I switched to FairEmail, which has too many options but supports OAuth.

Ha, so it's better than Fastmail's own Android client? I may well give it a go, then, as the Fastmail app (much as I love their service) is 'not great'.
If you want to be sure, you do run a regression test, yes.

> in those 5 minutes, 10 other commits have been made

If running tests take 5 minutes, that either means you have ten different developers working on your code, or people committing to the main branch without running tests.

Seems like you have too many developers working on the code for the size of the project and/or velocity of your approval process, or a spaghetti project (edit: or your tasks are too small)

Removing developers from the project may decrease the time spent on merge conflicts so much that it makes you move faster.

Interesting to read how Expect came so soon out of TCL (TCL: 1988, Expect: 1990)

Expect remains an essential tool for dealing with interactive (but not TUI) terminal application, and in usage really fits its TCL roots perfectly. In contrast, I've found the Perl and Python ports of Expect to be somewhat awkward, not fitting those languages paradigms as well.

In the 2020s, I still think Expect is TCL's killer app.

What makes a thing funny? At its core, humor seems to be all about incongruity. Comic situations set up a context where something is marked or out of place. This oddness, far different to what we were led to expect or what we blithely assume is normal, is what makes things funny.

[...]

Dad jokes play with incongruity largely through linguistics and wordplay, rather than subject matter. The much-maligned pun is a mainstay of the dad joke. Puns, bad or good, have long fascinated researchers for their playful ability to tell a micro mystery, with its red herring clues in plain sight. . . . Through a trick of linguistics, words cleverly disguised like other words because of the way they sound or their different semantic senses can lead us in the wrong direction of meaning resolution, before we “get it.”

After recently making a dad-joke ("Why does the string section have so much security? Because of all the viol[ins|ence].") I started a project to map the CMUdict phonemes [0] by Levenshtein distance in order to gather more word sets that are not precisely homophones for more jokes. The "Dubious Art" article was a top read from my literature review.

It’s fascinating how many big failures like this happen before I’ve heard of the product. I spend a lot of time reading the news (NYTimes, SFChronicle, Twitter, HN, etc.), so I don’t think I’m somehow clueless. The first I heard of CNN+ was after the shutdown decision. Perhaps they didn’t bother to market and advertise this properly. I couldn’t get away from Disney+ or Apple TV+ ads before and after they launched.

We are currently evaluating SymPy in Jupyter Notebooks as tool for teaching and from that experience I would add both simplicity for beginners as well as explicitness to the laundry list. Python and SymPy for example will simplify things they think is "trivial" (not so simple for teaching basics). Yet while you can be very explicit to counter such behavior, this will take away the simplicity.
It's funny how openly corrupt German political party leaders always turn out to be, yet we still don't consider it to be a corrupt country.
> No one would bat an eye if a Carrier Strike group launched F35 fighters to attack the Chinese mainland to disable missiles before they were used. In fact, this is 100% expected strategy for this situation.

This isn't an accurate understanding of current US military or foreign policy thinking.

https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/JIPA/Display/Article/249127...

> Military strategists, planners, and force requirements developers should anticipate America’s civilian leadership needing effective military options short of mainland attacks on China. RAND analysts seem to appreciate the risks of homeland attacks, suggesting that “as low as the probability of Chinese first [nuclear weapons] use is, even in the most desperate circumstances of a prolonged and severe war, the United States could make it lower still by exercising great care with regard to the extensiveness of homeland attacks and by avoiding altogether targets that the Chinese could interpret as critical to their deterrent.”

Attacks against the mainland are certainly possible, depending on circumstances, but it's neither the default nor expected.
As we all know, Webster dictionary is all you need to know to pass a bar exam.

In your hypothetical example, the agent doesn't have to say anything.

If Larry Ellison buys 15% of Twitter as a favor to his buddy Musk, he is under no obligation to publicly state anything. All he has to do is to disclose any stake bigger than 5%, as per SEC rules.

Twitter board has no power to question Ellison on his motivation.

They can either trigger the poison pill or not.

If they try to include Musk as part of the poison pill, they'll be sued by Musk and the burden of proof will be on Twitter board to demonstrate that Ellison is in cahoots with Musk.

And when you're in front of a judge and the jury, it's a bit more complicated than "because I said so".
Self balancing bicycle without gyroscopic or caster effects
I like your level-headed take.

Having been in the trenches on a large scale initiative gone awry, my hunch would be the same as yours: the lack of strong/well informed leadership leads to bad decision-making despite all the checkboxes being checked (market research, etc).

In that case, it's easy to blame the "elites" (who certainly do deserve blame). Doing so blindly without deeper reflection is cathartic but not too productive or meaningful. A lot of times, the "elites" are victims of a system bigger than them (established culture, procedures, politics, etc). Spending energy to change said system would IMO be more productive than playing the blame game.
> Can you tell me please what you mean by this?

Twitter can find an excuse to ban his account (you can easily imagine this sort of risk exists after some of his recent meme tweets for example). I believe that is a single point of failure in Tesla PR strategy and a risk to be mitigated.

> brand name's risk profile increased

Risk profile sure but has the net value decreased or increased due to his presidency? I don’t have data to say it’s one way or another but looking at the downside without the upside as well is futile.
I was excited for V2 but honestly my experience with V1 was very subpar and I ended up moving to PlanetScale instead of continuing to work around their frustrating limitations and high costs.

V2 has DOUBLED in price and while you can now adjust it in .5 "ACU" it's dead on arrival for me. Honestly V1 was way too expensive for what you got in my opinion. Having to deal with Dev/QA environments sleeping was a huge PITA (sorry, I'm 1 developer, I can't pay 3x$45/mo, even keeping prod up was expensive). Scaling up was SLOW and often failed, I ended up just scaling up super high before my event that used my product because I was worried it wouldn't scale up automatically. In my testing I always had to stop using the DB for a while before it would finally scale up.

As for my Dev/QA environments, I was able to wake them from sleep when you hit the client app but it would take almost a minute to wake. In order to save money I had those environments sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. Maybe it would have been better if I raised that to 10-30min but I'd regularly finish writing some server/client code then go to use it and realize the DB went to sleep on me and have to wait on it.

With PlanetScale it's $30/mo and I can have Dev/QA Branches that don't cost me any extra. Not to mention they actually seem to understand the need for things like lots of connections. I had read not great things about Aurora handling a ton of Lambdas connecting to them and so I wrote the first version of my product using their data-api which was a mistake. Since then I've moved to using Primsa as my ORM and you can throw literally a quarter of a million connections at PS without issue [0].

I almost built on top of Aurora Serverless V2 when it was in beta and I'm so glad I didn't and that I found PlanetScale when I did.

[0] https://planetscale.com/blog/planetscale-vs-aws-rds

> While RDS limits connections to 16,000 PlanetScale has been designed to scale upwards of 250,000 connections to a single database. Theoretically we can handle millions of connections-- but 250,000 is a real world number.
Wait, I thought he made his final offer. It was rejected. Therefore, no deal. How is this still relevant?
I wouldn't think using "standalone" versus whatever would make much of a difference.

If you're using a hosted DB service, you're (probably) stuck in needing/wanting to rehearse using the hosted service (which is what the blog post describes).

If they were running the DB on 'regular server' cloud instances, it seems just as good to me to rehearse with other cloud server instances versus "standalone" servers.
I’d also look into the “daily” part. All my bones are more sensitive than they once were. I’m in my 40s and starting to think all the days passing has something to do with it.

I'm extremely skeptical of this Taiwan invasion scenario I see floated around quite a bit.

1. As you said, and China is aware, a war between Taiwan and China will harm both countries and strengthen the US.

2. The world would react extremely negatively (more so than the Ukraine response) if half the world's semi-conductors supply disappeared.

3. Taiwan has cruise missiles that can reach Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, etc. Most of China's development is in the East. [1]

What I do believe might happen is China will reach the point that they can economically bully Taiwan until Taiwan decides it's best to play ball.

I'm not sure what you mean by "refused to allow". It's not like Apple has prevented third-parties from adding support:

https://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-mac/

It also doesn't seem surprising to me that Apple itself wouldn't support ext2/3/4. It's something very few Mac users are going to care about. Why would Apple dedicate any resources to it?

FWIW, I've been using Linux and Macs for over two decades and I can only recall maybe a single time I even wanted to mount an ext formatted drive onto a Mac, and vice-versa (HFS onto Linux). For exchanging files via floppy disks or thumb drives, various flavors of FAT have been near universal for ages. CDs/DVDs/BluRay use their own filesystem. And FTP/NFS/SMB/AFP/HTTP/SCP/RCP have been around forever for exchanging over a network. (Before ssh/scp, there was unencrypted rlogin/rsh/rcp... I'm dating myself.)
CVS might work for the existing devs, but it can be a non-starter for onboarding experienced developers. Avoiding the upgrade to modern VCS tooling would be a deal-breaker for me, despite any other potential upsides. I view it as the tip of an iceberg of outstanding technical debt.

> The prevailing foreign policy view is that the US is good and a benign hegemony and a civilizing and democratizing force.

Imagine someone stood outside your house and tweeted every time you left your house. They're not doing anything wrong, anyone can walk down the street and see if you leave your house.

Would you be happy knowing that all the criminals in your area now have easily accessible information on when you're home or not?

There's nothing stopping someone doing that. It's only someone gathering information that anyone else could and tweeting it. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
What???? There's applications that actually use atime? The only good reason I can think to have it would be a cache or something. Google tells me there's a way to make maildir work, but I'd never even heard of that program till now so IDK.

My solution to disk wear is just to only use 1TB+ SSDs, or, if I'm running directly on a Pi SD card(Which you pretty much have to unless you want to totally defeat the purpose of a Pi being cheap and small and low power), to absolutely plaster the filesystem with ramdisks.

logs get one, /tmp gets one, Chromium kiosks are the worst offender, that state gets moved to /dev/shm, etc. Don't forget ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log though! It can easily completely fill a disk!

Lightweight software seems to often be really bad about this, developers care more about simplicity than whether a flash drive will last 5 years or not.

I wish ext4 and ext2 could be replaced. Too bad we don't have anything better, filesystems are all crap. BTRFS has write amplification on small writes, F2FS looks most promising but still has trouble with power loss corruption, ext4 and ext2 don't have compression or CoW, exFAT doesn't have journaling ot anything to protect itself from errors as far as I can tell..
I guess "criminal activity" may have been the wrong phrase. "Illegal activity" is more what I meant. Because not all illegal activity is adjudicated by a court, and a regulatory action by the FAA is one of those things.

If I were a betting man, I'd happily bet that they're reporting accurately, and that Bannon and Wengui were, as usual, being unscrupulous. It's not hard to see that claims of serial bullshit-peddlers that contain all the same bullshit as they always contain is bullshit. How much pattern recognition do you need?

Not only that, but the laptop turns out to be verifiable, and it goes to the FBI, which investigates. As normal. I fail to see the outrageous part.

The recovery thing could potentially resolve another K-13/AIM-9B incident, but I'm not sure this will be worthwhile. If you have fuel to return you have fuel to chase the target longer and to go faster. Personally I only see recovery as a useful feature if your weapons are really expensive or you want to create air mines. Which the latter is really a terrifying thought. It wouldn't be hard to have a bunch of drones with explosives create a screen/wall and take out anything that comes close enough. Returning things with explosives on it is also rather dangerous. You arm them when sending them out and if there's a bug they may still be armed when returning.
Heck yeah! Thanks for writing it!
Tbh 5$ was to just show the order of magnitude.

Even if it was 50$ per month, its still alot cheaper.

And the cluster we are talking here about is a raspberry box with 10 mashines each 2cpu 8gb, running k8s, replicated storage, my own domain and certificate, metalb load balancers, and few other things.

Its not as redundant as AWS, but it never broke in few years of constant work.
Chances of all of those machines to break at the same time are astronomically low in normal circumstances.

If I spread the cost of that setup over two years of reservation, the monthly cost will be a lot less than 50$.
That's a silly comparison. Investors would be comparing this to some pretty low yield bonds they would buy to mitigate the risks of being over invested in real estate and stocks. Even in a recession after a lot of bubbles burst, consumer brands of household items tend to sell pretty well.
