The confusion is probably a lot of us work at smaller companies that serve a wide solution to a niche customer, and that kind of app has a lot of reads and writes but doesn't need to scale. This app might be doing the invoicing/shipments/specialist parts of a business for example.

Whereas there is another different kind of Engineering which I probably will never be a part of (simply due to mathematics of available positions doing it) where you are scaling something up for millions of users but the app is much simpler like a Twitter or Reddit, and the challenge is in the scaling.
> I'm not sure how to do zero downtime deployment

AFAIK, you either:

1) Don't, and eat a few seconds of downtime (f.ex if the clients re-try in the background, or..)

2) Start two processes on the same machine (believe that's always safe)

3) Share the database over the network in a way that's safe with sqlite3. Think it's possible, but at this point things are getting too complicated to be worth it IMO.
And what does stronger mean? It's not cryptography.

I think they do listen to music but I would imagine their listening lists go through a few levels of curation and modification before they are released.
iOS also recognizes text, and you can search your photo library from MacOS or iOS for text - a menu item or road sign you remember taking a picture of, for example.

I have literally never looked at dislikes ever as a measure for quality.
I actually agree with this, the matching is cool for some cases but once you start matching layers deep it becomes unreadable and you need a stack in your head to remember what everything is doing. Sometimes code that reads from top to bottom with a few different cases can be easier to weave your mind through.
Personally, the algorithm works very effectively at stealing my time.

Bikini catwalks, scamming phone scammers, MMA fights, math entertainment, people who build cool shit.

This is of course subjective, but I basically can't open youtube.com without wasting 10 minutes.

If I ever get the idea of going to YouTube for a legit purpose (e.g. finding a conference talk, or listening to music), my brain's first response is "oh no", because I know I have to endure at least ten minutes of entertainment. YouTube's TikTok clone is even worse, but not as good as actual TikTok.

I can only say it works like drugs.
Flaxseeds contain short-chain omega-3s, algae contain very long-chain omega 3s. Is anyone aware of another plant containing long-chain omega 3s in significant quantities?

You need to chill, dude. I am not defending child molesters. I am not even claiming that capital investment is evil. I am simply pointing out the fact that the relation is parasitic.

Then you aren't paying capital gains tax either, so I don't see the problem.

I'm curious though, do you also not expect to get any profit for this particular investment in the future? When you have got back your inflation adjusted initial capital + a modest interest + a reward for the risk, do you mail your share certificates back to Cloudflare with a note, thank you, good doing business with you?

Abusing HTTP methods like this is something ElasticSearch does on some of their APIs. This is annoying because spec-compliant tools don't always play nice with them.

For example: ElasticSearch can take a body on some GET requests, but many tools will not let you do this because a GET request should not have a body.
Better than no-code, I would expect a library in React, Vue, Web-Components, etc... with high level components that I can just use. I mean easy to put in my page, not having to write a lot of code and they look fairly well with not custom style code.

Low-code is more realistic than no-code.
It saddens me what will be lost if youtube continues on this route, 99% of the content is garbage, and the 1% good content is hardly monetizable, and there is 0.001% that content creators monetize with some form of sponsorship, but not so much from google's pov

You can see Dirac himself speak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma7TSAq87lg), Feynman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mhkYbznBk), Jung(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs3HK3pxVAY), Minsky, McCarthy, Ellul, Ram Dass, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Terence McKenna and Alan Watts and many many more people who greatly influenced our understanding and way of life

Youtube is quickly turning worse, just as google, with the flood of click baity content, and not only them, look at cnn.com or foxnews.com you will see every single article is with click bait title.

I dont think the issue is in the dislike button, I think they have to up their game to help you navigate the sea of garbage to find some islands of good content.

The reddit rule of 90/9/1% is no longer true (90% of community members are lurkers who read or observe, but don't contribute. 9% of community members edit or respond to content but don't create content of their own) now it seems we are more to 20/30/50% (my intuition), and the tooling and understanding used to decide what content to create and game the system has improved a lot. Like in video games, the way people play videogames now is fundamentally different than 5 years ago, now you are expected to minmax your character, items, gameplay etc because there are so many tools and guides out there to help you, but the same happens with content creation.

Its a different world now, and the algorithms have not caught up yet.
I have never gone to the YouTube homepage or suggestions (don't even know where that is) to try to find content.

Literally every video play I've ever done on YouTube had been the result of a direct link or me searching for something.

I get that there are people that go to the homepage to see what's there and click stuff but I find it totally unfathomable (not least because who has the time?!).
It especially stands out when you see repeated letters after each other in the same word, like "egg". Seems like a situation where font ligatures could be used to automatically fix it.

The zeolite filters are regenerated by heating them, which causes them to release the captured CO2. This is obviously done in a sealed chamber so that the CO2 can be captured or vented overboard.
The usual use case for a database is that it has multiple users in different places which would be difficult with SQLite. But for other use cases I don't see a problem. I don't know how it scales ad infinitum, but you can manage a lot of data with it and the usual SQL server has limits too. Could be a good choice even before you care about latency.

It's baffling the degree to which Teams doesn't work on a purely technical basis, before UI and UX even come into play.

Half an hour ago I accepted an invitation to join a Team. Logged into MS in the browser, checked remember me, and then... a naked JSON response. It had a field "result", value "Success". Good! What now? Nothing else happened.

I firmly believe Teams is only usable if you're a Microsoft shop (don't even think about Firefox and friends) and is managed by a central IT (I somehow have two MS accounts under the same [work] email and no idea which is which). Don't get me started on being on Teams as an external employee.

Things like Slack just work much more and are much less surprising in their behaviour.
Stable coins work on the principle that the issuer has the equivalent value of the minted coins as backing and will always trade these coins in or sell them for their dollar value. Therefore, nobody has the incentive to sell below their value, as they could always trade them in with the issuer, and nobody wants to buy above their value, as they can always buy them from the issuer. As the issuer (theoretically) has the whole market value as backing, you can also be sure that the price never drops.

Now, in practice, having billions of dollars flying around is both very hard and unpractical. Therefore, issuers can use different stuff (like investments) as backing or, as in this case, just don't have anything approaching the necessary value at all.

It can even get worse. Fundamentally LTV is subject to a very dangerous question of "who gets to define what is labour"? Is sitting around playing video games labour? Well what if you're at a video games company? Is smearing feces on a canvas labour? What if it's a commissioned art piece? What if it's an uncomissioned art piece that the artist knows will fetch a price? What if the artist is a chimpanzee? Etc.

I know that's not what it means, which is why I was confused when you initially responded with the comment that you did. I guess partly I was confused by the condescending phrasing you used when nothing I said was incorrect. Any who.

They're helpful when searching for tutorials especially on topics you don't know much about. It's a way to navigate the big mess of unknown to me channels. For example, if I'm looking for a video on how to fix something at home, the downvote ratio can quickly tell me if someone is giving bad advice or just rambling and wasting my time.

For channels I watch regularly downvotes aren't relevant at all.

There is no shortage of compression tools that are better in this or that. At the very least this is a fun engineering exercise, but there is always a massive inertia propblem regarding install base with compression, esp. for data-at-rest. gzip is still used by default in so many contexts, and that's not such a bad thing IMHO.

>Hold on, doesn’t one-database-per-user totally absolve all ACID guarantees?

No it doesn't. What gave you that idea? You still have all "ACID guarantees" within each database.

>You can’t do cross-database transactions (to my knowledge),

That's true of most databases. If you have two apps and they use two different databases you won't have transactions across those two apps.

>which means you can end up with corrupted data during aggregations.

No, aggregations within each database work as you would expect.

>What am I missing?

As others have said, you use this pattern only if you don't intend to cross databases. By the way, in NoSQL databases like MongoDB, every document is its own little database so having a per user database is a massive upgrade over NoSQL.

Maybe it is because we come from different cultures, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. In fact, I recently paid for my parent's hospital bills and did it happily.

My country doesn't have universal healthcare, but I'll be happy if we did. At the end of the day, we live in a society, and one of the imperfections is that we end up paying for things we don't like regardless of our opinions. I think healthcare should be a priority...
To add to that, financially, it makes no sense to borrow at such a high interest rate unless you have issues with obtaining credit traditionally.

There is a reason why payday loans charge extortionate interest. Their bad loan rate is usually sky high. Their returns are substantially lower.

Basically whether it works or not depends on if they could print money that holds value. Obviously they couldn't.
... and let others pay for the upkeep of the country that enabled your success :).

Bad response. Nowhere do I claim that no meddling is good. I simply claim that this one form of meddling is really fucking bad and it's hard to see that meddling can be the root cause when you are predisposed to meddle.

The irony is that you're falling victim to exactly this phenomenon: I claim that meddling in one form is bad and you pull out a knee-jerk argument with a buzzword (externalities) that injects a misinterpretation of the logic in the argument. When you are predisposed to meddle, you put up barriers to understanding my argument.

Anyways, my point is exactly that central banking makes blindness to externalities worse.
YouTube actually works pretty well for me. Most of the time I get great suggestions and it feels like there's a lot of great content to watch (if only I had the time to actually watch everything).

I don't know the inner workings of YTs algorithms, but I believe it helps that I never watch the low quality drivel and have very focused topics that I subscribe to.

I also don't spend too much time on YouTube so every time I do check it out it seems like there's new content from several high quality channels.

The dislike button was fairly useless in the channels that I visit.

When I seldomly open the "trending" section by mistake, I am usually appalled.
NPM Vulnerability Discussion on Twitter
Is, at the same time, hyperventilating an effective (but very dangerous) way for people to get better at freediving? It seems like it would help people get deeper, especially when they are no where near their limits. That also sounds like it would make things even more dangerous, because when you get better and do get near your limits, you don't notice.
Except that the PDP folks are the biggest name in blessed Switch controllers, making many of the officially licensed character controllers such as the Mario and Luigi branded ones. They were given access to the original GameCube controller molds and design files and created the better SSB controllers. The hierarchy is

Nintendo, PDP, hyperkin, 8bitdo, everyone else.

This is endemic to the PDP controllers.
If I want to turn off an Xbox One controller, I can pop the batteries or it'll turn off after it's not connected for 30 seconds. PDP wireless Switch controllers? 10 minutes later and they're still hunting for their paired console, often with no way to forcibly turn it off.

Even 8bitdo do in several iterations have Xbox style battery compartments and their fighter pad has a physical switch.

PDP can ship these cheap because they can have loss leaders in the low cost options, making up for the difference with their high end controllers and even their rather extensive selection of other console controllers. Ironically, their switch joycon charger dock is one of the best and some of their headsets are rivaling even the better Gamer ones now.
I don't personally think the dislike button is the explanation. But something seems to have changed in the Youtube recommendations algo in the last few weeks.

In my experience, the algo has gotten very noticeably worse recently:

- Recommending lots of 6 - 12 year old videos on topics I'm interested in (who cares about a 12 year old product review?)

- Recommending tons of videos I've already seen or recommending really, really old videos from people I normally watch. It's always done this, but it seems worse recently.

- Trying to push "streamer bro" meme videos on me, which seem aimed at 12 year old kids

- The algo seems to be really clinging to recommending only videos about the last few topics I searched and totally forgetting my main interests. Look up a video on a new car you just bought? Congratulations, Youtube will now recommend you every video ever produced about that car forever to the exclusion of whatever it is you are actually interested in even if you have never shown an interest in cars.

Maybe someone who works at Youtube knows if a new recommendation system was pushed out recently or something? It's miserable.
Crypto’s Audacious Algorithmic Stablecoin Experiment Crumbles
given that they often precisely pay less taxes than you,
you can't really avoid wanting them to pay "higher" taxes
- higher than the ridiculously low numbers they pay,
given their army of lawyers, accountants and loopholes.
So, wanting them to pay a similar percentage to you,
DOES amount to them paying "higher" taxes.

In my country, foreign (or rather, multinational) corporations that invariably make huge profits, pay zero taxes, by doing the following:
- they transfer 'ownership' of critical company resources,

e.g. the software WE develop, to a remote entity that is also them, typically on e.g. cayman islands.
Then our local subsidiaries rent/lease OUR OWN SOFTWARE back from the cayman part, in order to serve it to our clients.
Our local subsidiaries pay a silly huge leasing fee for using "its own software" - as much or more than what our clients pay for using the software services.
The net result is, that our local subsidiaries always operate with a loss, no profits, which both results in no taxes having to be paid, and the "losses" being tax deductible (depending on details, both can be useful).
The real net result is, that a huge profit is funnelled out of our countries, with no taxes paid for local services, wear and tear.

When your size allows you to hold the pen when writing the tax laws, tax does not apply to you.

Tax is something the wealthy and society extracts from the taxable classes. They don't extract it from the rich, it is in direct opposition to the nature of being rich - rich is something you become, by being exempt from the rules that apply to 'lesser' creatures.

And if the low-income classes do not provide taxable income, I wonder why the republicans are so hellbent from prohibiting poor people from getting abortions. It suggests to me, they DO believe poor people serve some purpose, given that they insist on creation of new poor people.

As far as Omega-3 DHA and EPA, they are. It's just that you also get the algae flavor in concentrated form, and the demand is not high enough for the cost as low as fish-based supplements.

I had looked into it after seeing the modern fishing practices, and even took algae-based DHA supplements for a while. The ones I got did not contain enough EPA though, and that also has an interesting affect on mood. (Maybe I should have taken more ALA from plant sources with curcumin).
It's surprising to read that. No one at work hates it so much, afaik. I wonder what's different about our channel lineup, usage habits, or anything else that is such a contrast to your experience.
