Portugal seriously sucks. The food is bad, and yeah you can see about all there is to see in both Lisboa and Porto in under a week. I was really turned off when I went there in November.

I think it's a magnet for this stuff because it's cheaper than the rest of Europe and the government has openly marketed itself to this kind of thing (to the detriment of the citizens, who are being priced out of housing and a lot of whom are leaving for other countries.)
I'm skeptical. Eventually you need to write things for which Rust is the wrong language. How do you get anything to play nice with each other, if you've turned your infrastructure into a magic box? What about preventing things from playing with each other (security)? DNS, WAF, caching, etc.? Are these all just Rust annotations?

> To reap the benefits of serverless, you have to build your application as a multitude of stateless request or event handlers, often requiring a bottoms-up redesign of your system. For some use-cases the serverless paradigm works, but in many cases breaking things into discrete, decoupled functions may not be optimal or even feasible. The next question is, can we have our cake and eat it too? Can we maintain the paradigm of stateful processes and abstract away the underlying infrastructure and orchestration?

There's a key distinction here that Shuttle seems to pave over. In microservices design, ideally each microservice entirely owns its own datastores; to interact with the datastore, outside actors must interact with the service and not directly with the datastore (enforced either by convention or firewalls). In serverless land, the use of single-purpose functions intentionally has many different architectural components (even if they are only the different functions themselves) interact with the underlying datastore. Therefore it is important for the underlying datastore to be distinct and managed separately.

Additionally, this passage has a rather important non-sequitur: if the problem with serverless is that it "[requires] a bottoms-up redesign of your system", then how exactly is Shuttle solving this problem when it puts the database into the magic box of things developers no longer need to worry about, rather than enabling developers to work with existing databases (because the entire paradigm is about starting from brown-field and not green-field)?

It is if you’re paying rent for a storefront and junkies are blocking the door so customers can’t get in, the cops won’t do anything, and “nonviolent misdemeanors” aren’t prosecuted.

Then it’s an overriding and pressing feature of your life.

Wait, what ?

That is not a minor issue - that is day one, hour one, basic functionality.

Either I misunderstand the op or Apple doesn't do even basic testing.

I know many people share your view if social media platform x allows content y, then it will be reduced to anarchy. I never understood that. Reddit used to allow some pretty insane sub-reddits, but I never knew that until it was on the news that they banned them. I used the platform daily and only looked at what interested me. Vegetarians and Keto(atarians?) both go to the same grocery stores. They just pick the part that works for them and don't worry about the rest. Could you explain how you would imagine that Twitter "could quickly devolve into a scarychan-style sewer?"
I grew up in the suburbs and your diatribe is utterly foreign to me. As kids we were expected to get out of the house and not return until it was dark. I spent many days fishing in a river pond that was almost 2 miles from my house, secluded in the woods. Maybe you need to get out more. The City(tm) is not a panacea. There's no place that people are strangers with each other more than apartment complexes.

The various people who have replied to you with their own cable solutions is interesting. Mine seems downright uncouth by comparison.

I just ran mine up near where the wall meets the ceiling. When inside I look down a lot more than I look up so the ugliness of the cable doesn't bother me.

Here's part of my Ethernet cable run [1] through the living room. The other cable in that picture is a speaker cable for one of the home theater rear speakers.

Wow - that's absolute madness. I would have never imagined it was like that.

I can see maybe someone, kind of subconsciously thinking ill, and double a 'double take' ...

... but almost anyone can see whether or not the kid knows the adult they are with.

And what kind of kidnapper steals kids to take them to the park to play with them? My god.
Where did you live? Right now I'm in the middle of Chicago with my elementary aged children sleeping peacefully. I don't live in the wealthiest neighborhood. I don't live in the poorest. It's pretty diverse (by the standards of Chicago).

I haven't been assaulted. I'm pretty sure the excrement I see is canine, not human. I haven't seen any heroin needles, though I don't live far from a methadone treatment clinic. And a halfway house for recently released prisoners. And am only a mile from the lakefront where we now have year-round tent camps for the first time in anyones' memory (homeless who camp through Chicago's winter are a tough breed).

Maybe the rabbits eat the heroin needles before I see them. Lord knows they eat everything else. Everyone on social media complains about the coyotes and how they're everywhere. But I think that's bullshit - if there were as many coyotes as people claim we'd have way less rabbits.

Surprising how much of what people post on the Internet is bullshit like that, isn't it?
The main product is is “kdb+”, a simple, fast, proprietary, embedded, time series database. Especially good for tick data.

I work in finance, and literally all of my employers used it. Not much secret sauce, just simple algorithms implemented very well. No real open source competitor. Well, maybe DuckDB if they support as-of joins.

Rust's newer scheme is basically the same way it works by convention in Elixir (a more modern language than Golang or the others you listed).

The older mod.rs scheme seems like an unneeded special case to me, but even that isn't exactly alien compared to what other popular programming languages have done before.
Would be interested to see a list of those "about 30" steps. Surely, the number is neither made-up nor arbitrary.
(RE: Can’t have a window stretch across multiple monitors.)

"You used to be able to do that. Long ago."

I am doing this right now on El Cap with three monitors on a 2009 Mac Pro.

This is basic, boring, functionality.

If, in fact, you cannot do this now, the correct response is merciless ridicule.

Who even works at Apple if this basic function was allowed to break and stay broken ? Buffoons - that is who.
I've visited Portugal (Lisbon, Sintra, Porto, Guimarães). It has all the elements of an aspirational European destination minus the cost.

I speak Portuguese (Brazilian) but most Portuguese people in the cities all seem to speak good English. Portugal is beautiful, has temperate weather and long coastline, really good clean food (sopa de legumes, leitão, sardinhas, etc), friendly people and easy access to the rest of the EU. And unlike traditionally aspirational places like Italy or Spain which are harder to move to unless you have the right lineage (for getting a passport), Portugal is within reach of middle class Americans.

That said, I was told that salaries aren't high for locals. For what it's worth, most younger people in Italy and Spain don't think their economic life is all that great either. The money seems to be in northern/central Europe, i.e. well, mostly Germany.

There are many places in the world where it's nice to visit but not to live, I would say, Portugal is the opposite. I could realistically see myself living there.
> I don’t know, the criticism in OP seems pretty substantive to me.

That's because it's a straw man argument. As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, the OP's concerns are addressed in the actual papers, which the OP conveniently ignores.

> appeal to authority is essentially the opposite of modern science.

Well, it's a good thing they're not doing that then. An appeal to authority is when you rely on an expert's prominence in one field to justify their opinions in an unrelated domain, e.g. putting credence in a software developer's pontifications on imaging black holes just because they're good at software. "Appeal to authority" doesn't apply to actual authorities in their domain – otherwise you would never be able to call expert witness at a trial, for example.
Here's an argument against the idea that Application Tracking Systems automatically reject a large number of candidates: https://thetechresume.com/samples/ats-myths-busted.html

I'm not sure what to believe. My link claims that automatic rejections are uncommon, yet the Guardian link here claims the opposite.

Couldn't agree more. And being an enzyme, I imagine it can eventually be screened for (and hopefully treated) with relative ease.
I also observe that stupid people are unwilling to humble themselves, be introspective, and admit when they are wrong. They always double down on their stupidity. To the bitter end.

These sort of issues are susceptible to framing problems.

For instance, "cars kill X number of kids per year, let's ban cars!"'s mirror framing is "how many children's lives is car driving worth?" It's something to be on the lookout for in these types of discussions if not to avoid then to recognize.

A digital pen would be great also, if it didn't need special paper and worked well. The idea is to replace pen and paper with a device which is essentially an infinite supply of pen+paper. Having to buy special paper is limiting. I'm often trying to capture fleeting ideas so a solution needs to be handy everywhere which either means many cheap tablets or an expensive digital pen that works on just about any surface. Nothing digital I've seen or tried so far works well for this purpose.
Yes: if you're actually victimized, then it becomes an overriding and pressing feature of your life. But you're sidestepping the claim: it's just not that common here.

I've never seen drug addicts block a storefront here. The closest thing I've seen to that is someone (and I really do mean one individual) try to panhandle in a restaurant. They were kicked out.
Specifically with respect to forums, I'm going to repost something I wrote before:

Metcalfe's Law says that the value of a network is proportional to the number of nodes (or people) in the network. That is, V = k * n^2, for some constant k.

But we now know that there's more to the story. That valuable network attracts users, but it also attracts abusers - spammers, propagandists, trolls. They don't add to the value of the network; they detract from it.

Here's where the handwaving starts. It is my perception that the proportion of abusers rises as the size of the network rises. That means that the total number of abusers rises faster than the number of users - perhaps as the square of the number of users.

Worse, those abusers do more damage than their numbers would indicate. It's not just that you have messages that should be ignored. It's also that you have to increase the level of mistrust for every message. I'm going to guess that the abusers do damage about in proportion to the square of their number (which is itself in proportion to the square of the number of users).

That leaves us with V = k * n^2 - c * n^4, to account for the damage from abuse.

It follows that one essential of larger networks is keeping c as low as possible. Otherwise abuse destroys a network.

Also note that, for any given k and c, there is a number of users beyond which the value of the network is negative.

They were being facetious, it's a critique of the racist/classist tendency in our language to label people with brown skin living in another country as "immigrants" but white people as "ex-pats". It's related to the history of WASP colonialism.

MacOS does not support Daisy-Chaining, which renders most ports with two monitor outputs useless.

To use two monitors you have to use two different USB-C ports and play the lottery that the monitors get recognized as wished each time you reboot.
Second option is two buy a Thunderbold 3 port which costs ~300€.
They don't like being called immigrants since they use it in a mostly negative context, so they are expats :)

Dear, your credibility:

> We don’t want to violently oppress people over bourgeois norms of behavior but we do want to live in communities that adhere to such norms.

Yes exactly. So we segregate them, creating a non-bourgeois underclass that plagues our cities and suburbs. Then we create more elaborate car centric human geography that causes us to pollute more and generate all sorts of externalities such as huge traffic jams and high house prices. Then because the above underclass is disregarded, they become a larger, more present part of our urban fabric who we've consigned to a segregated life of misery.

It's a lose-lose race to the bottom. All because we can't do the right thing, spending money on mental health care and assistance out of poverty. Eventually the (monetary but also human, social, and environmental) costs of maintaining the hacks ends up being higher than fixing the problem in the first place. That's what happens when you try to paper over problems without fixing them.

The kind of isolation in the post, where the web content doesn't have access to system resources, was part of the original Chrome release.

(You mentioned site isolation, which is a different feature, but the dates you have look right for that.)
Not sure what you mean by consciosness here, but one definition of intelligence I've seen was "it's what establishes relationship between things" and the very first relationship it establishes is "me vs not-me".

"Russia has imposed capital controls, which essentially means it's easy to buy roubles but next to impossible to sell them though official channels without permission. It's not a free market."

Except that isn't the case is it. The Russian central bank reversed its charges in mid April. Interest rates have been cut.

In reality the capital controls were imposed by the West by freezing the ability of the Moscow Exchange to use its correspondent accounts to settle in other countries and other currencies, and preventing the citizens of the West from transacting on the Moscow Exchange.

If you have roubles in Russia you can sell them for dollars on the Moscow Exchange, but they will remain Eurodollars within the Exchange clearing system, because the NCC can't currently clear into any area controlled by the Fed.

The belief that the rouble would be lower if only the Russians weren't stopping things just isn't the case.

The rouble is the value it is from a simple supply and demand point of view. Euros are being exchanged for roubles on the Moscow exchange because Europe is buying power from Russia, and roubles are not being exchanged into Euros and Dollars because there is no way to use those currencies to buy anything from the West to ship to Russia.

Inevitably that will cause the rouble exchange rate to go up - and it is being kept down by the Bank of Russia holding 'Eurodollars' on the Moscow Exchange and issuing new Roubles against them. Which ensures Gazprom et al get a decent amount of money to pay the workers in Russia who are extracting the gas and oil.

Those in the West have the basics of how currencies work wrong. They are public monopolies. The fantasy of a 'free market' is just that. If you hold a fiat currency, you are at the mercy of the rules of the currency issuer - who can change those rules on a whim.

Also Ethernet to bridging MoCA does add on about 3-5ms of latency round trip. Whether this is of any concern is another thing, it probably isn’t for most - but it is something to know.
In a former role, I got the opportunity to be on the interviewer side of the table.

I considered it a privilege to have the potential to influence progress in someone else's career.

I am very much in the latter category of wanting to see folks succeed.

We had one candidate that didn't have experience in the particular technology we were interviewing for, but I could tell he was highly intelligent, just very nervous.

I asked him questions on another complex technology that he'd listed on his resume, to try and draw out some of his thinking on his problem solving skills.

He did great.

I suggested to him that he should come to us with questions, and interview us as much as we were interviewing him. I wanted to see him get the job.

He didn't… at first.

The others on the panel didn't give him their vote. We'd picked someone else that ended up flaking out.

I went back and tried to make the case that we should extend him an offer.

They ended up doing so… dude was an absolute ROCKSTAR.

Please be the one that wants people to succeed. Interviewing is hard, people.
For what it's worth, Ubuntu 22.04 (and anything similarly up to date using GNOME) supports fractional scaling by default. Because it's inherently less performant than integer scaling you need to check a box underneath the scaling factor but that's it. Works fine here with a GTX1080 on Wayland with three screens.

Earlier GNOME versions had the option hidden behind a flag you could enable in the "Tweaks" application.
Does it support a syntax for recursive queries? In T-SQL we use recursive CTEs which are ugly as hell.

This is very cool though. There are lot of features that would make my life easier. Group By All is noice.
What do normal users do where audio latency would be absolute trash, total garbage, useless junk and utter shit?
Exactly this. I agree 100%. A lot of responses are triggered folks who highlight exactly what you're saying. How dare you call suburbs sheltered, boring, and fake. A lot of responses cry about urban places being dangerous hell holes, when in fact it highlights exactly what woodruffw was saying. No one in the suburbs gives a shit about each other, because there is no sense of community. Karen in the HOA cares more about what color your door knob is, and the kids sneak to the basement when the parents are out to try out exotic drugs. Let's not kid ourselves and compare urban centers "as omg, I can't even walk my kid to school without a homeless person that molests them". Hyperbole at the best.

Stay in your suburbs, and don't use urban tax dollars to fund your lifestyle choices. And while you're at it, when you visit an urban center, learn to drive and parallel park, or does that scare you too?
As someone whose high school years spanned 1982–6, I have a bit of a soft spot for that era.¹ I think, also, that in the early days at least, a lot of marginal bands who had videos ended up getting a bit more fame thanks to those videos than they would have pre-MTV.

Hah, I was terrified of all dogs on a route where I distributed flyers and got bitten by one dog. However, I stopped doing my route because of a magpie. Someone had tamed it enough that it had lost all fear of humans. It would try to attack my head and fly to mailboxes and try to pull the flyers out. The stupid bird would follow me along the entire route. At some point it got stuck in the huge, curly hair of a girl who lived nextdoor. That's all so ridiculous in hindsight.
