My friend signed up for the oil fields back in mid 2000s. Pay was good, but they eventually got to a point where they didn’t need the extra prod and laid him and a bunch off. Might be a contributor to their current problem.
Well that's some Oracle-tier shit.

As a 5'5" Asian man (statistically one of the lowest rate of matches in online dating), I find it personally demeaning that you feel like you need to be morally outraged for me, because trust me, I sure as shit don't need it.

People are attracted to attractive people. That fact has been true for all of history. Not only do attractive people get more dates, they're more likely to rise to higher positions in business and society, and earn more money. Height is only one factor in attractiveness. Are you going to be morally outraged about attractive people next? Are you going to shake your hand at the sky and ask "what about love?!?" next time you see two tall attractive people on a date?

Also, citation needed on your claim that height selection is US-only. My anecdotal experience is that foreign-born women also have height preferences.

Your assertion on female plastic surgery is equally ridiculous, and dare I say, downright ignorant. No, you haven't met a man who is attracted to plastic surgery, but you've definitely met men attracted to the results of plastic surgery. You've also probably met hundreds of women who have done some form of plastic surgery, you just haven't noticed because it's tastefully done. I'd dare claim the ridiculous plastic surgery is the exception, not the rule. Your idea that women do this to compete against other women in a broken society, and not because men are attracted to certain features, is laughable.

Yes people are attracted to attractive people, but people can also do things to make themselves more attractive. I personally go to the gym, try to wear fashionable clothes, and groom myself. Are you going to gasp in shock and "but you shouldn't have to do that because of love!!!" Note that this is not a cynical take. I would say "the world is going to hell because some women put '6 foot only' on Tinder and get plastic surgery" is more cynical.

Get off your high horse. You discredit us all.
This is the one aspect of the show "Last Week Tonight" that always irked me. He makes fun of peoples appearances too much. It's just not good comedy or even a good insult in my opinion.
Restoring data from backup is the most common data recovery technique. Lots of information there to start from if you are interested in how data recovery relates to privacy laws.
Go to your local library and check out some Econ books. There’s got to be some Econ classes available online as well.

Economics is one of the most important disciplines to understand even at a base level. So much of the world and human behavior can be explained in terms of supply and demand.
That is a ridiculous amount of power. You realize you just said that a car needs a 200Hp motor. A 1990 Toyota Corolla (as new) has a 100Hp motor.

Battery plus a 10KW ICE can get you over a mountain pass. Going slower is always an option.
Sure. But I hear they still only offer one type of cheese....
I think the socket buffers (sk_buff) are actually shared. They are all packet sized, and whatever socket needs to transmit some data or receives it gets the buffers attached. So my assumption is that the amount of required socket buffers scales more with the amount of data transmission than with the number of sockets.

But independent of socket buffers, the kernel obviously needs to allocate other state per socket, which tracks the state of the TCP connection.

Dynamically typed languages (at least, JavaScript and Python) have been gradually learning this lesson.
I disagree. Counterintuitive design is bad design, and leads to subtle bugs getting introduced.

This is especially damning in a language where so many decisions are justified by a desire for simplicity and ease of understanding. You throw that all out the window when you make design decisions that are opposite to most people's expectation.
Post-incident reviews are really a means for (black) PR and nothing more than covert advertising. Few people if any care at all about these things in the busy landscape of devops and whatever. Eventually everyone is let-go, because every sane software engineer knows that software works by magic on a very large scale and outages and incidents are everyday life.
I felt the same way trying to use ledger. Apparently there's a way to import your CC charges from online banking CSVs, but I never tried it out. I ended up giving myself a weekly allowance and plugging that into the books at the end of the week. Things got a lot easier when I was dealing with broad budget categories instead of logging transactions for a single cup of coffee.
I only chose D because it's the one guys seem to be most familiar with. No clue why we seem to still think it stops at D. I guess I'm part of the problem there.
as a "libturd" like you say, I don't like to call trump fat or talk about how he was "gay for putin" or any of that. It's not cool at all. Got plenty of other actual criticism.

The only reason I'd even consider talking about trump and his apperance in a denigrating fashion is because he's so damn vain. Even so, i try to avoid it.

Trial: A game engine written in Common Lisp
Frivolous litigation happens but is fairly rare but, as you said, nothing in this country prevents potential employers from anally raping candidates for "bad-mouthing" prior companies. In the US, that's a legally defensible reason to fuck someone over, even if what was said about the ex-employer was truthful.
I am also not a lawyer, but I've always heard that telling the truth is a bulletproof defense in libel/slander/defamation situations. Some employment contracts have non-disparagement clauses but I think they're fairly rare (kind of a red flag) and at least where I live they can't prevent you from truthful griping about working conditions
Thanks. I must've got it wrong then. I remember the Colossus paper said Colossus built a scalable metadata system, but someone from Google told me that the metadata system was based on Spanner, and I took it for granted.

Your caution is well received -- thank you!
Off the top of my head, Euler, Gauss, Newton, Leibniz, Euclid pretty much cover an undergraduate curriculum and all the math most people would know, and those are just five people. Expanding to the fullness of the discipline and 24 families does not seem surprising at all. It's probably more about how much of a long tail of subjects the field has.

(As I said, this is off the top of my head and some obviously build on predecessors work. Descartes and to a lesser extent Fermat are also relevant here, no doubt others that made contributions the people I listed built on - Cardano?)
The problem is that you see yourself as a completely isolated individual rather than a continuation of your ancestor's genetics.

You don't have a "random dice roll of DNA", you have a very specific lineage of DNA passed to you by your parents.

You are the sum of your parents, and a reflection of all of your ancestors before you. I don't see anything irrational with taking pride (or shame) in the ancestral line that resulted in your genetics.
Can you find anyone who doesn't work at Oracle that can back up this bold assertion?
>Which means the rich but unattractive men are, through taxes, paying for the children of the attractive men

I con't understand how so few people realize this. The modern 'incel crisis' is fueled by online dating and government subsidies. It's the perfect combination to ensure reproduction of only the top few percent of men.
I realize some folks have a fairly negative view, hell I still have it, but Oracle OCI has been surprisingly sane. When you break out of the mindset that "this should work this way because that's how AWS does it", it's actually quite refreshing.

Their serverless support story (Oracle Functions) is pretty clunky, but for standing up instances, and the terraform provider is quite verbose, but when it works, it works in a sane and logical manner.
> "But “free speech” in the 21st century means something very different than it did in the 18th, when the Founders enshrined it in the Constitution. The right to say what you want without being imprisoned is not the same as the right to broadcast disinformation to millions of people on a corporate platform."

I think whether one is for or against Musk buying Twitter, we should agree that a journalist that can't distinguish between the First Amendment and the broader principle of freedom of speech (which is what inspired the 1st A.) is unlikely to have written anything worth reading. And if that is insufficiently persuasive, the author later on denigrates people who are technically educated (particularly ironic given the above).

"Tech titans often have a different understanding of speech than the rest of the world because most trained as engineers, not as writers or readers, and a lack of a humanities education might make them less attuned to the social and political nuances of speech."
Whether the US civil system itself is based on merit or reason, the problem is that employers have all the resources and can play parliamentary procedure ad nauseam--even in the rare cases where the good guys win, they'll file appeals and motions while refusing to pay the judgment. Not to mention, they know which judges can be corrupted, and they also have PR resources and will rape the shit out of anyone who even mildly embarrasses them.
The distinction at the end with the "New Jersey" and "MIT" approach was enlightening, as well as the empathetic remark on Swift's approach to keeping complexity within the language implementation vs foisting it on users.
I am normally not a big fan of government as a private business..

However USPS and Amtrek NEED to be run more like a business. The fact they have not been for decades is part of the problem with the services.

If we are talking something like the police, or fire or something like that I would agree that is dangerous to run those services like a business. I however do not put USPS on the same leave as police and fire.

they ship envelopes and packages from one location to another, that is a business and it should be run like one
> But we have to make a decision.

true, i guess my question was presupposed more on top-down decision making, but as you said, there are many ways to go about that decision
QUIC will help with some things, and make others worse. With QUIC you don't need a file descriptor per connection anymore. A single file descriptor for one UDP socket will be sufficient to handle an arbitrary amount of connections (although you might want more to actually exploit concurrency). That fact will help limiting resources that the kernel uses. However the state that needs to be tracked per established connection is likely way larger than for TCP, due to being a more complex and featureful protocol. E.g. QUIC needs state for tracking sub-streams on a connection, while TCP does not. And of course there's all the mandatory crypto state. I am fairly familiar with QUIC implementations, and made a multitude of changes in various libraries (e.g. Quinn and s2n-quic). I wouldn't be surprised if the baseline memory usage of a QUIC connection in most libraries is > 10x of what the Linux TCP stack requires for tracking a connection
FAANG is banking with uglier people and even more casual sexism.
What's your moral/ethical basis for that? Sure, don't do this to others in your personal life (or strangers). It's arbitrary cruelty and simply abusive.

But I'm not convinced punching upward in this manner to the obscenely rich and powerful should be considered universally wrong. If Putin did not want to be so judged, he wouldn't put out all those pictures of himself shirtless posing with horses and dolphins. I think he in particular is fair game.
Channels are most definitely not easy to reason about in the slightest. Superficially, they might appear to be on the surface: but they're really not and have innumerable subtle cases and behaviours in the face of various kinds external conditions, scheduling behaviours, etc. They only start to become 'easy' in a language that utterly ignores all other paradigms, interoperability, and performance concerns as in Go.

This uses Pyodide [0] under the hood [1], which is CPython compiled to WebAssembly. In all my tests of it, loading takes a long time ~5 seconds. Coldbrew [2], another distribution of CPython on Wasm, is another option with similar load times.

And Brython [3] is a completely different option without long load time: a Python interpreter implemented in JavaScript.

If load time is important, Brython is pretty nice. If feature completeness is important, Pyodide and Coldbrew are probably best.

The ones who do 3 months of actual work get fired because their overperformance scares the boss. But less than 2 weeks of actual work and you're an underperformer. The sweet spot is probably the geometric mean of the two.
(speaker here) regarding the limits of stateless apps see https://driftingin.space/posts/session-lived-application-bac..., the trend is that the more complex your app (think an IDE), the more the "stateless" approach is too slow and breaks down. (Note that what people call "stateless" is not stateless at all; there's database query effects, network effects, session state – and then on the client we have dom effects, reactive rendering and component local state. Modern web apps are actually entirely imperative except in isolated little components where we pretend)

The system we describe in the talk is indeed stateful, but it's worth pointing out that the Photon runtime is referentially transparent in the pure functional programming sense. People think functional programming is about avoiding state and effects; it's not. It's about gaining control over our effects so that we can orchestrate scaled up fabrics of millions of fine grained effects without loss of composition, reasoning or control. This is the promise of modern functional effect systems, and is the underpinning abstraction that powers Photon.
I was going to say that maybe getting off a product owned by Intuit would be enough motivation but apparently Quicken has not been owned by Intuit since 2016! I had the same reaction as I did when I discovered that RAM pickups are no longer owned by Dodge.
paganet says>""why should we assign so much money to the Navy when we're most worried about a continental war?"."<

Russia values the coastal territory it has grabbed b/c d they can use it to support a navy, something Russia has historically always wanted and needed (to project military power). But they have always done poorly and continue to do so:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-russias-military-is-so-sh...

Thwarting Russia's naval progress is cost-effective since it takes tremendous resources and history to run a navy effectively. Only Great Britain and the USA have been successful at establishing modern multi-ocean navies.
Are you basing your understanding of human sexuality and genetics off a bad movie trope? Or do you think all women are Anna Nicole Smith?
It's hard to imagine any of the stampede of "here's why musk is bad" articles the left wing media has spat out are worth reading. In my lifetime I don't think I've ever seen a more focused propaganda campaign. It's really scary to see so many united by their hatred of freedom. I think Musk overall is a bit of an idiot, but he's definitely the lesser evil here and I hope he prevails.
I feel like we should stack rank corporate executives. Hold a public vote to rank them and the most despised 10% get the 'tine.

Bio also says 'FBI witness'.. that's just a completely meaningless random fact isn't it? 'Happened to witness some crime, interviewed by FBI', why's that in a Twitter bio?

(Unless it means 'expert witness' in court, in which case 'and the FBI were involved' is the weird bit.)
Adam Smith only mentions markets in the context of a free labor market.

It’s the only supply and demand metric he ever describes.

It was generalized into everything is a market, with jargon cottage industry springing up around everything; market is a hammer, and we pound nails.
Probably a great deal to do with the fact that savings accounts, bonds, and CDs don't return the interest rates they used to. They certainly don't beat inflation.

So what's left? Stocks. An index fund will at least keep pace with inflation over a long period of time.

It's not just "get rich quick"; it's that most of the other options have been devalued to uselessness over just stuffing cash into mattresses.

I sincerely hope all of the people who worked on the recovery effort are okay, and are being well supported and strongly encouraged to tend their mental health. I have no personal investment in Atlassian products—if anything, unrelated to this or any incident, I could happily never use them again.

But the people who work there are human, and I know what kind of a toll a protracted recovery effort can take. I know it from chronic pain two years after the burnout started. No one should experience that.

I know it’s probably not the thing Atlassian the business thinks they should communicate to customers/general public, and it’s not surprising it’s absent, but it’s a shame they did not address the well being of their staff. Especially those who undoubtedly put exhausting effort into recovering from this incident.

And sure, that would be unusual as a business communication. But should it be? Even before this severe burnout, I would have looked at this list of lessons learned and thought “a lot of people are going to be overworking the same as they’ve been through all of this, but now they’ll be doing it invisibly.” And that definitely doesn’t inspire confidence that there won’t be another catastrophic mistake in the near future—it doesn’t make me more confident in the business.

None of this is a strong criticism, just some observations from being on the other side of a marathon incident recovery.
But we can talk about objective facts: Trump is a tiny, short-fingered vulgarian; a mentally-ill real estate huckster. Nothing shameful about mental illness, but he should get treatment. Can't help him with the fingers, though.
How many of these apps were actually broken? I haven't use iOS in a long time, but on Android I use plenty of apps that haven't been updated in 3+ years. They all work fine.
I think it's just fundamentally wrong to abuse human beings, whoever they are, whatever they've done, for things that they can't control. Full stop. No exceptions.

But more than that - if for example you abuse Lindsay Graham by calling him 'gay' - 'punching up' in your mind - then that does that say about what you think about other gay people that you think it's a criticism to call him gay?
I'll be honest, the reMarkable put me far enough off the idea not to bother looking again for a while, if ever. I can as easily put a notebook in my satchel, and for the sake of sheer enjoyment I'd rather write with my Decimo than with any stylus I've ever tried.

(One might argue also that a paper notebook never needs charging, and that is true, but a pen does need to be charged with ink. I made a couple of small carry tubes sized to fit Namiki cartridges, each with a soft spring in the base to raise the cartridge for easy retrieval when the tube is uncapped.)
Google use licensing models for many of their products. I'm sure they could devise a model whereby a company such as Epic pay a fee per client download of their software. It could be negotiable. That way everyone wins, and customers get user friendly access to the content they want.

In what way is it not run like one? Amtrak has a CEO and a board of directors, and is basically run as a business, albeit a subsidized one.

You can take away the subsidies of course -- it would maybe be possible for Amtrak to operate profitably if it removed every route except the northeast corridor. But is that really want we want Amtrak for? To run one rail line?

It may be a fact that he has short fingers, but it's not something in his control, or something relevant to anything he does, or something that we should judge him on, or something that we want to associate with being a problem, since there are other short-fingered people who are good people.
Big fan of options, but I am curious to see some examples of how it's cleaner, even in pseudo code.
I was just summarizing why I think you probably wouldn't hear it directly from women. Men definitely do it too, but as you said, probably in a more noticeable/direct fashion. That said, after years of social movements that have made very targeted complaints using identity, I would not cast that kind of stone. Trying to use shitty data and anecdotes to declare, "Men/women are problematic because of x" is really not helpful. Really, at the end of the day, nobody on this planet has any business commenting on someone's features they were born with. It's easy enough to stick to that.
People do respond to the price of fuel -- if people are driving a lot at that price, they'd be driving a lot more if the price was lower. But a lot of people's driving habits comes from the way that cities and towns are laid out, too. High fuel prices can discourage driving, but if most people have no choice but to drive in order to access work and other places they need to go, then it won't have as much of an effect, and people will compensate by cutting spending in other ways.
In case people don't know, there's actually two measurements. The first number is the band size (the circumference of your chest under the boob) and the letter signifies how many inches the circumference of your bust is above the first number. A = 1 inch, B = 2 inches, C = 3 inches, D = 4 inches, E/DD = 5 inches, etc. So, taking the median here is kind of confusing. Also, I imagine this distribution is bi-modal with healthy/fit people around 32C and overweight people at 36F.

One day in my teens, it suddenly occurred to me that I preferred notebooks with no lines. Somehow I liked imposing my own form in the page. Sideways, slanted, crammed, big, small… whatever struck me in the moment.

You’d think that lines would cost extra but I had to pay more for a notebook without them. ;)
