So no, it's not. The SEC is there to protect investors from malicious actors to allow them to make informed decisions not based on lies & manipulation.

Now one can be informed but also choose to make stupid decisions. People do this all the time on penny stocks, options, etc... The SEC has no interest in trying to stop them, just making sure they know up from what they are getting into.

> much better battery life - can actually use a laptop as a laptop!

I have two laptops running Linux that can easily provide 6-8h of battery life. Maybe more. One of the laptop is second hand (HP Elitebook 860 G6), the battery health is said to be at 69%. I think this laptop would give me 10-15h of battery life with a new battery.

I've been actually using Linux laptop as laptops for more than 10 years now.

Do they not allow e-bikes in those? That seems surprising, given how important e-bikes and pedal-assists have been (or have been represented as being) for broadening the accessibility of cycling.

A quick googling led me to this statement about Germany and e-bikes:

"Insurance and license plates are required. The maximum motor output is 500 watts for e-bikes. Also, e-bike drivers must use bike lanes unless there are none, in which case they are allowed to ride on the roads."

I don't mean to defend snobishness, but it is possible to be in the top 10% of your field and dismiss anybody not in the top 30% of your field. That comes across as arrogant and dismissive to almost everybody because it is. But it doesn't mean you can't work in a team of equals.

Somebody like Anish Giri might be a very good sport and play a (very short) game of chess with me, but I doubt he would expect to learn anything from it. Of course, he probably wouldn't waste his time on me. Either way, he would still be a great asset to help somebody like Ian Nepomniachtchi prepare for a tournament.

Of course, being considerate and welcoming to everybody all the time is super awesome. Those who manage it have my respect whether they are perceived as the best in their field or not.

> As an analogy, consider the lone sysadmin maintaining the lone linux server hosting a multi-billion dollar companies ERP, Billing Software, and website. The company probably cares enough to ensure this person has a backup, and is paid well enough not to leave. If the everything works the company probably doesn't care enough to do a migration to a SaaS provider, replacing this admin is likely very expensive.

Eh, I've seen people like this and maybe they get paid well, but the company also can't afford to promote them or move them around. One person I know was an expert in Fortran and worked at a large Wall Street bank doing processing of very large transactions (systems that process trillions of dollars yearly). Technically, there were "backups" who could do parts of his role, but realistically he was the only person who really understood the whole system. He would threaten to leave every so often and they'd bump his pay to an absurd level that made it hard to leave. But there was also no path the promotion for him and he got bored. At a certain point, he ended up leaving anyway.

I think you misread your own link. Crime in October 2021 was 11.2% higher than October 2020, but YTD crime (the thing people usually call "crime overall") is only up 1.3%. It's the next sentence in the same graf.

I have not been callous, in any ordinary sense of the word. When people are affected by crime (and indeed, they are in this city), I feel bad for them. What I have no space for is breathless accusations that my city is an unlivable hellhole, when I've seen with my own two eyes how much it's improved over the last two decades.

(If you want real callousness, read about the people who died in last year's flooding[1]. NYC has a flood control system that should have lessened the damage, but it didn't function because the city hasn't done regular street cleanings for the past two years. Why haven't they done street cleanings? Because car owners complained about having to move their cars during the pandemic.)

I assume you do not recognize the polls in for example Finland, which indicates ~22% support for joining NATO before the Russian invasion of Ukraine - to ~75% now (only 12% against)? This is all CIA manipulation?

Got it. That's an interesting point of view. I think it makes sense in the data workloads, especially in the database one. Consider for example how database workloads are still lagging behind in Kubernetes, and - most importantly - viceversa (Kubernetes is a hard topic IMO for traditional DBAs).

Operators are there to help in both cases, and this is the goal of our CloudNativePG operator.

IMO CNCF represents an opportunity for vendors of the same database engine to converge in a healthy community and provide the best operator for their platform. This is probably the first stage.

The second stage could be to study those operators (of different engines, like Postgres, MySQL, ...) and generalize commonalities in a sort of standard spec. Just an idea. Is this in line with what you are thinking?

Thanks!

Right idea, wrong language. At least for me. Not really into Rust a lot and trying to figure it out gives me a headache. I've tried. Also, I think the severe risk here is that anyone who knows Rust well enough to like it for this would probably pull up their nose for devops jobs and find something more interesting to do with their skills.

But, I like the idea of using a statically compiled language rather than some yaml (terraform), json/xml cloudformation, etc.

I'm kind of liking Kotlin and Kotlin script right now (KTS). I might be biased because I write a lot of Kotlin. But it seems to have some unique features that make it suitable for developing your own DSLs.

BTW. I think Gradle's KTS support is actually a bad example of KTS because it inherits a lot of its complexity from when it was still exclusively a Groovy thing (which is of course a scripting language). The Gradle APIs tend to give me a headache. It's never obvious what you need to do. And it keeps on changing as well over time. Which makes Googling the solution really tedious because 95% of what you find is usually a combination of obsolete, wrong, and outdated. Automcomplete via Google is broken. And because Groovy is so dynamic, it also complicates autocomplete in Kotlin Script (which is a major selling point otherwise).

And autocomplete via Google is exactly what makes many solutions in the devops/PAAS/IAAS/configuration management etc. sphere so tedious to deal with. There's just no way around wading through lots of misinformation, product/marketing pages that try to tell you wonderful the shit you are trying to get working is, blog articles, poorly written/structured documentation, etc.

One of our people actually hacked together a little KTS script that generates our github action yaml files. If you've ever dealt with GH actions, they are nice but the yaml sure is fiddly. Having a KTS script that generates those is wonderful:

- A lot less errors that you discover after you commit because if it compiles, it's probably fine. Which means I can tinker with it, commit my changes, and have it work correctly the first time. Amazing.

- No more copy paste 'reuse'. We can have functions and reuse them across different workflows and we can actually reuse bits and pieces that we figured out. I'm always amazed at how much copy paste and adapt is still the leading paradigm in devops automation.

- No more dealing with yaml syntax, it's quirks, and limitations. Kotlin has types, DSL support, multi line strings, string templates, etc. In other words, it's very suitable for this kind of stuff. And when it doesn't have a feature you need, you can just add it because it's a programming language. Not that hard.

This should be a thing in more devops stuff. Terraform would probably be easier with KTS, for example. And I'm pretty sure people are working on that. Though of course the support in Intellij for Terraform is not bad.

Ex Army officer. The 3:1 ratio is helpful, because it's a simple way of knowing "you should only choose to fight where you have an unfair advantage".

This is common folk wisdom, but not exactly what macroeconomists actually believe. It's true that deflationary shocks tend to lead to hoarding money and economic activity freezing. But long-run deflation that's baked into the system and expected appears to have no impact on economic activity.

We know this from the economic history of the 19th century. The entire period from 1815-1914 was broadly deflationary, yet economic growth rates were significantly higher than the 20th century. There was certainly no shortage of massive investment made into industrialization, railroads, electrification, and fossil fuels among other major endeavors.

For personal projects it might be overkill depending on the scope. But if 2+ people are working on a constantly evolving system, shipping new features, and want consistency in the design system? It’s a solid foundation.
I just can't agree with this. It's true that one piece, the compiling, is less painful. But the entire rest of the system from developing to testing to routing out implementation bugs is way, way more painful

As long as the reporter can attach table schemas (presumably also created in-code) and data (which can be loaded by the code... presumably) then sure yeah. It's a lot better than having to ask for versions and reproduction cases that don't often come automatically.

> Plus, having to deploy code from the ticket just to be able to reproduce a bug seems like a huge PITA. Give me the local execution!

Ideally the code could be deployed automatically -- perhaps only from trusted/internal parties depending on the product -- so you don't have to actually do that much work. Less than you would if you had to create a database with the specific flags and environment exactly matching those of the reporter.

I dunno, I dream of this sort of reproducible bug report. I don't like the "what version" "what queries" "what errors" back and forth that always seems to happen, even with internal users.

It's much easier to save money than it is to make it, and that's why revenue is valued more.

You can hire any number of consulting firms or smart engineers that can tell you how to lower your AWS bill, or get rid of unproductive employees. It's much harder to figure out how to grow your business by 2x.
Percentages are interesting metrics, but real dollar values are more important when you're talking finances. If profit is revenue is $100 and costs are $1, you've got a huge profit margin, but it is unlikely that you can grow that revenue to $10m. If you have $5m in revenue and $2.5m in costs, your profit margin in percentages is lower, but you have the basis for a company that can reinvest profits to increase revenue growth.
So that's what the C in C++ stands for!
A great point on how profit margins are not always the best metric! A panhandler has almost no costs, so their profit margins are huge. But it's not a very scalable business :)
