Now a more philosoraptor style comment: I see Mcrib is a service built to
quickly detect and replace memcached's. I treat memcached in infrastructure as
a very stable service. Meaning it is infrequently necessary to upgrade it, and
it will generally not fail on its own. If it does it will be highly infrequent
compared to services with higher churn or more complexity/dependencies. This
means if they're failing often enough that you need to rapidly detect and
replace them you have a more fundamental problem.

From a structural standpoint I think my technical comment can be useful. If
things really are failing this much A) you should figure out why and slow that
down. B) if you have a generally stable system and understand the typical rate
of failure, you can add tripwires into Mcrib to avoid over-culling services
and loudly raise alarms. Then C) you can improve technical reliability with
redundancy/extstore/etc.

I've also seen plenty of times where folks have a dependency of a service
determine if that service is usable, which I disagree with quite strongly.
Consul being down on a node should trigger something to consider if the
service is dead. It's important both for reliability (don't kill perfectly
working things because you end up having to design around it), and for
maintainability as you've now made people afraid of upgrading Consul or other
co-dependent services. Other similar failures are single-point-of-testing
availability checking where instead you probably want two points of truth
before shooting a service.

Now you risk people being afraid of upgrading probably anything, which means
they will work around it, abstract it, or needlessly replace it with something
they feel safer managing. The latter is at best a waste of time, at worst a
time bomb until you find out what conditions this new thing breaks under.

This isn't advocating that you design without assuming anything can fail
anywhere at any time; just pointing out that how often a service _should_ fail
is extremely useful information when designing systems and designing fail
safes, alerts, monitoring, etc.
You can do some stuff on cloud; for example, for a few minor projects where we needed to make some web pages, we used GCP. However, it wasn't well integrated with internal, it was effectively just a web site like any other.

I believe there had been multiple waves of attempting to get people to move to cloud, but at the time, there was no coherent strategy to move large parts of the tech stack to cloud. Unfortunately with any sufficiently complex production service that runs in borg, untangling the web of dependencies is usually too hard.

Other things work great in the cloud; if I was a Google Researcher working on public data and publishing papers, I'd intentionally use Google Cloud (with access to VMs, CPUs, and GPUs, but not any internal data like the web page crawls) with Jax, Keras, TF, etc.

It's been a while since I last played around with Nim (back when it was still called Nimrod). But doesn't Nim compile to C and therefore it can interact with the entire C ecosystem? And afaik it is also camel-case-insensitive, so that you can call C functions without having to worry about different naming conventions?
By this logic I could gather 10 friends from the pub, go to a government building, break a few windows, say we want to overthrow the government, then go home and call it an attempted coup.

Really though, that's never been successful and calling it an attempt is being extremely generous. It's like saying writing a Tweet is an attempt at writing a novel.
I reach out for HTML events instead of addEventListener all the time. I get free event addition when dynamically adding content, also removal and tidying up after elements are removed - no memory leaks from unused event listeners. Plus it's obvious from browsing the code what different elements are hooked up to. I get called out on this often, but no one can argue with the ease of use and performance.

I love this. Ever since moving back into the wild from the city, it's been so nice to take notice of all the little "microseasons" you'll see inside a usual season. I took it for granted as a kid, but as an adult, it's nice to name and partake in the various parts of the year as you mention.

It's exactly as true that if you ask and they reject, then THEY are a marked man. You are on the lookout and will probably leave as soon as it's convenient. If they don't care about that then all the more reason to move on.
I think I can respond to your footnote. I went to a Catholic school that split us up into separate tracks for maths specifically in grades 4-8. I was in the upper level math class for a year before they moved me. I had a teacher who celebrated and encouraged bullies, slapped children with a ruler, and threw a chalkboard eraser at me from the front of the classroom because I appeared to be falling asleep. When my grades fell the knee jerk reaction was that I was wrongly assigned to this class and it was expected to have below some magical threshold of attrition. The ramifications for me were that my old friend group would no longer interact with me the way they used to, I was immediately bored in our lower maths class, and I was now a "dumb" kid.

It wasn't until I'd dropped out of college and taught myself math, because of the interviews in this industry, that I learned to enjoy math again. My point is that you're really fucking with the social firmware of kids when you do that. Also, reading between the lines of my life, not being in that upper level math class clearly had no impact on the latter parts of my life.

Sigh, this makes me realize how much I loved computers when I was a kid (1990s) and how much I hate them now.
I really have a hard time moving away from debian (really ubuntu at this point) based distros because of all the support and howto articles written for this family of distros and the dearth of little doo dad apps written for the debian eco system (such as the thinkpad power manager or the debian specific implementation of that old os x app caffeine just as examples). Its really not based on laziness or close mindedness, but just that I want to get going with doing things on my computer.
the first time i encountered this algorithm it was in a class and the paper was presented. i wonder if the paper existed when this all happened.

I wouldn't. Granted, Steam or Amazon pulling an entire account over one chargeback, as has been reported of both, remains bullshit. But dragging a small shop into that process without even trying to fix the problem with a friendly conversation? That's a customer I'm probably happy to fire.

I'd be very happy about this decision, if Snap wasn't even worse. At least this disagreement will slow down, and hopefully prevent, further adaption of both.

AppImage is the only one of those three solutions I find adequate so far. But ultimately native packaging is still the best.
highly recommend Noble Blood podcast if you like this kind of stuff. totally changed my views on history. the narrator does a great job of showing that people are, and always have been, people - noble or not. part of the reason so many nobles died in the past is that people then didn't know what to do with ex-nobles either

This is probably the best counterargument to raise in response to the "late-bloomer" anecdotes that many people raise.

For every unit of societal productivity created by a late bloomer that is saved by a common-stream system, I would personally argue that there is an order of magnitude more societal productivity lost by holding back the more typical high performers.

Late blooming intellectuals aren't the norm. Most highly intelligent people begin performing as such from a young age.
Seems like this could be a feedback cycle too. Be less kind to people and they'll treat you badly in return.

>The FDA approved Tezpire as a breakthrough drug for asthma in December 2021. Tezspire excluded morbidly obese people from their efficacy trials.

This statement is very misleading because morbidly obese people were only excluded from the Phase 2 PATHWAY trial[1] and were not excluded from the larger Phase 3 NAVIGATOR trial[2]. The FDA approved Tezpire based on both trials demonstrating efficacy, not just the PATHWAY trial.

That seems good for tapping into desires, but may be an unreliable heuristic for long-term. In part because we are creatures of habit, and our habits can be hijacked, or plainly unhealthy. We may have several prospective or competing desires - if instant gratification is among them, that is the path of least resistance, the grooves deepen. "I want.. to sit down, eat, and watch something, and be left alone". Delayed gratification is abstracted enough that moment-to-moment desire leads you off course. If we have in us a desire for validation or high-level engagement which drives us to do something, keeping an eye on the prize may mean disposing with whatever the imminent "X" is right now.

The point of frustration is that these motivators, which drive us to try to master something, can be tepid or inconsistent and therefore insufficient. You end up needing a sense of obligation, i.e. discipline. At least for me, getting anything done means creating habits, because 'desire' is a shot in the dark. There's a quote from somewhere that power is "acting in the face of uncertainty". Desire and motivation is a murky area to me, beyond obvious things.

Thankfully we can make accords: under an accord, everyone can agree to simultaneously disarm themselves. It's not a perfect and forever solution to conflicts, but it's quite close. If everyone is disarmed, and we are under constant watch to make sure everyone is, the risk of conflict is very reduced. If a country breaks the accord others should have enough time to chase and seek peaceful solutions. Political instabilities can dissolve.

War really should interest no one with good intentions. Anything war can do, conversations, cultural exchange, agreements and even sanctions can do better (if everyone agrees to abandon war). It's like in a scientific discussion... there's is effectively no, zero, case where punching your peer is better at progressing science than discussion and understanding.

Of course, we also need to abolish fascism meanwhile -- it doesn't mean absolute tolerance, just that other tools should always be used to prevent and correct fascism and other dystopias that seem to require weapons to save yourself from.

So what's your threshold for when to call someone pessimistic when they're doing the very useful work of identifying flaws in something?

Never?

That's not going to work.
This doesn’t have much to do with altruism or empathy. In your case: well-to-do people get more in return from managing their reputation as upstanding folks than the they would get from throwing a fit over something that they might only need to get fixed within the month. In the case of poorer people: they might have to pay rent today with that money, so their manners might go out of the window somewhat due to stress (getting mad because of someone else’s mistake doesn’t have to do with lacking empathy or altruistic feeling).

Lots of results in theoretical physics couldn't be verified in experiments until decades later. It doesn't mean that it's not science if you can't make an experiment at the moment.

"Not falsifiable" commonly refers to no experiment being possible in principle. That's quite different from what you mean.
It also fits better into the social model of disability, which I find very valuable, and assigns agency to the disabling where it belongs.

Ex: I don't experience my poor vision as a disability right now, because I'm easily able to access an aid that allows me to do everything I want to with no major downsides, in the form of glasses.

But if I were to become direly impoverished and lose access to them (again lol), I would be disabled by that circumstance. My physical state has stayed the same. The disability is in what I can't access and why, not the impairment itself, which can be addressed.

Text fuzziness has had nothing to do with your monitor ever since we've gone digital with HDMI and DVI

Linux & Windows generally use implementations of antialiasing that aren't so "fuzzy," so you could always ditch that Mac for something that won't forcibly abstract away the details for you

On Linux

Step one plug in 4K 27" monitor.

Step two set scaling factor for gtk/java apps to 2. KDE/QT apps can figure out the correct DPI without hassle.

Step three set fonts smaller or larger if desired.

On Windows plug in 4K 27" monitor. Text doesn't look in my opinion quite as nice as Linux but it isn't fuzzy, small, or giant. Possibly font rendering could look nicer if I bothered to tweak it but since its basically boot to steam I see little reason to bother.

I keep hearing this argument that 4K somehow doesn't work or looks shitty and only 5K Mac displays provide an acceptable high dpi experience and I feel like I'm getting transmissions from an alternate universe where nobody had to scale UIs from screens that varied in DPI by a factor of 3 for almost 20 years. Long before 4K screens.

Not only does the earlier version of the framework explicitly reject this view, it cited specific empirical studies that the broad approach targeted (which I gather had not changed in the revisions which is why the complaints remain despite some revision to details) was better for people across the ability spectrum.

Similar points apply to each of your bad-faith assumptions about the underlying beliefs.
The two biggest threads that seem to be coming out:
1- a number of large shareholders are on board
2- (probably related to the prior point) no one seriously thought Musk would be able to secure the financing, but he did. Remember, this is the guy who promised to do a take-private of Teslas with "funding secured" when it was very clear no such funding was secured. The Board, understandably, didn't want to waste time negotiating with Musk and said "show us the money"

This is a good piece (before Musk had secured the financing): https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-20/elon-c...

> Another point I would make is that Twitter’s board is doing a decent job of (1) asking these questions and (2) forcing Musk to answer them. In a sense, launching a tender offer is a way for Musk to put pressure on the board to do a deal. But in another sense, forcing Musk to launch a tender offer is a way for the board to pressure him to find financing, which is a prerequisite to a deal and not something he would do on his own. In his own life, Musk is very casual about what counts as “funding secured,” as we know now from repeated experience. Writing a tender offer document will force him to be less casual.

> Broadly speaking, what has happened so far is (1) Musk offered the board $54.20 per share to buy Twitter, (2) the board said “show us the money,” and (3) Musk is working on it. If he comes up with the money, then the board will have to make some decisions, but right now the ball is in his court.
Since the text itself doesn't clarify, context is the only way of resolving any of the scenarios. In each case it's usually sufficient and often not all that hard. But it's always harder than if the system in use was made explicit, and I understand the complaint (even if my annoyance at the ambiguity is quite significantly below the level where I would have complained myself, particularly in this case).
I wonder how well they'd defend against hole saws, especially if you went for one larger than the keyway.

Huh, that's funny. I never really thought about it, but I kind of feel the same way now that you point it out. Or rather, I used to love computers just for the sake of being computers and was always a little annoyed by people who saw them rather as a means to a different end. However, today, I definitely see my macbook pro, ipad and iphone as nothing more than a means to an end, the way people saw old PCs.
