The way to move in Ulaanbaatar is using locals as a taxi. Everybody does this and most people stop whem you give a sign. You have to know the current inofficial price per km and make clear you don't want to pay more before you start the ride.

If one does not need petabytes of scale, but am otherwise interested in the data lineage / observability / workflow being sold by databricks, what would you suggest?

Some evaluation Criteria:

- Ease of maintenance and operation is almost paramount.

- It's fine if the solution never lives anywhere but 1 single virtual server that scales vertically (data might grow to a couple TB, but not PETA BYTES)

- Similarly, 20 9's is not a criteria. If the machine fails and it takes an hour till someone goes and re-deploys, that's fine.

- Declarative, reproducible deployment with an easy upgrade story would be great

- Ideal if the deployment can be run locally for quick developmnet
> using your software is going to cause the billable volume to go down

Yeah, that's a huge concern. If they get paid for literal hours, then they're directly incentivized to maximize hours.

Software is highly effective when you get paid for productivity: hourly rate scales with efficiency. I want to reduce the hours I spend working so I can go back to enjoying my life as soon as possible.

I wrote my own software to track my process and compute statistics so I could identify bottlenecks and opportunities. Essentially a profile-guided optimization run on my job which doubled my hourly rate and got me home faster.

Good job misleading everyone and painting a rosy picture of India because yay, nationalism.

There is a data cap on broadband. It's called "commercial usage terms" and it defines a data cap of 3.3TB a month often written in size 6 font or omitted. This is when you're using either Airtel or Jio, the two biggest broadband providers in the nation. Quoting prices for 4G internet is pretty much useless because of how unreliable it is.

The prices for calls and internet have started to increase after Jio and Airtel both admitted that the prices in India are unsustainable. Jio also acquired several smaller internet service providers. My apartment complex has only two options — Jio or Airtel.

That's how we get figures saying that computers cost 20 times less than what they used to be when in reality it costs a little less than 2 times less.

You might find the FileUploads plugin of interest. Every time it detects an image in TiddlyWiki that meets a specified filter, the image is uploaded to a storage backend.

Demo: https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/t/image-imports-in-tw-5-2-0-and-...

The choice of backend is pluggable via Uploader modules. There is already an experimental PUT Uploader that is WebDAV compatible. The version currently published is very simple though there is an advanced PUT uploader that I need to polish up and publish that allows for things like creating directory structures if needed when uploading an image and sanitizing tiddler titles to ensure that they are valid file names.

Installation is via a plugin library: https://saqimtiaz.github.io/SQPL/

There's plenty of space for people like you still, but for society, we actually have to learn to live with one another and be closer to one another, especially if the environment and the future of the human race is of any concern. The problem these days is that we don't have enough well-functioning tight urban areas in the US, which is probably why you don't like to live in them.

Whenever people bring up urban environments and how terrible they are, I always point to Tokyo where they manage to cram people denser than we can, and still maintain higher living standards than us (the USA).

But I do agree with you that our urban environments are crap. Plus, we have plenty of space, so American suburbs are decent ignoring the environmental and sustainability aspects.

> Trying to define models (as Taxi defines them) statically is often a source of hidden technical debt as models change over time and different teams in different parts of an org can't agree on what a model should contain.

I completely agree.

My view (and the view of Taxi) is that Types should be shared by teams, but never models - for exactly the reasons you've outlined.

Systems need a way of describing their data as a composite of those scalar types - that's what Models provide. Field names are part of that contract, as they tell you structurally where information is. Types describe semantically what that information contains - you need both to semantically document the contract of data.

However, if multiple teams start sharing models, you end up with exactly the `PersonButWithoutSSN` situation you've described, which is a BadThing.

Our vision is to let data consumers to semantically describe the data they require, in the format they want it. If that doesn't align with how a producer is emitting it, or requires stitching data from multiple producers, that's OK - tooling can enable that, provided you have rich semantic schemas.
You 100% need to have a significantly above average IQ, just to get to the level where you can start working on any given known mathematical problem.

Once you are at that level, then one could conceivably think that luck+hardwork might be enough to get you results, but when you are considerably smarter, you can work much faster than others, and maybe even make connections that others will never be able to make.

I'm not sure you watched Arrested Development, but I was thinking about this scene where the character says he sees himself as the world's first analyst and therapist, analrapist for short.

He always says things that are non-sexual but have an almost sexual ring to them. And while I did understand the bang on to from context, it was exactly the kind of thing he would be saying. Together with the analyst and programmer, analpro for short, or something of the sort.
Game industry is notorious for binary blob game state. I worked at many and where possible converted to a keyed/JSON format that can encrypted if needed or keys and it led to more server based and portable profile/game states. These were hard fought battles.

The best part of JSON or keyed data is less profile conversions for one new key that shifts everything by a set position. Keys can be added and removed and you don't break the entire game save.

Binary blobs for game formats/saves/states is still a massive problem in gamedev. They have given many people a bad time when the profile conversion or state conversion fails and you end up with borked states. Almost impossible for that to happen with a keyed format like JSON. Getting studios to use it, especially early in dev to work with server/mobile dev was a massive challenge.

I had the same experience - moreover my charger had multiple ports, but as soon as you plugged more than one thing into it, the wattage would drop drastically. my 100W charger would do 30W on port 1 and 10W on port 2. And that was the optimal case - more often than not, using more than one port would make devices randomly disconnect.

There are really few times I find stopPropagation() necessary, and try to use it as little as possible. Usually it's something right there in a parent. Even so, the larger point here is that events are very hard to trace through code. This is why I always use enums or static variables to define the names (event types) of events any given class will emit within the class definition. It makes it a lot easier to see what other code references that static name than it does to find every instance of "click" in a huge codebase.

If you only add stopPropagation() when there's a reason, then at least later you know there had to be a reason.

I’d add that reading strategy matters a lot as well.

When I read critically I usually do a few passes over the text. Before I start reading I make a list of what to Expect in a text. Then a quick pass to see if what I expect is there, and to add what’s extra. Then a concentrated read writing down questions. Then a phase to cross away the questions answered elsewhere. The remaining questions I can ask, or use as the basis for a written response. This works for papers, documentation and chapters and a bit less for whole books. I think this is a strategy I learned in high school, but never really used until the time the quality of my teams output started to depend on the way we share feedback.

Google suggests this is the three phases of reading model. Try it out. It will make you gain clarity in understanding and giving feedback.
The biggest argument against inflation as a monetary phenomenon right now is the foreign exchange rate: inflation is higher in the US than in the Eurozone, while a dollar is worth significantly more euros than what it was worth a year ago.

In fact, if your salary is labelled in dollar and you live in Europe, your purchasing power increased in that period, which shows that the current level of inflation in the US isn't cause by the intrinsic value of the dollar going down.
I would think it's the other way around: beaming power up, you're less likely to hit people and buildings and terrestrial animals. You'd just hit birds and potentially planes and satellites, but planes and satellites can be tracked so you can shut off power if they're too close.

I must say as an hourly based freelancer (software engineering) for the last six years, I don't like this. One of the biggest perks is the flexibility to take time off whenever I want. If I don't work a full day in order to spend time with my kids outside because the weather is nice, then I do. If I want a day off, then I take it. As long as my projects are making progress or I give advance notice of long vacations, then my clients stay happy.

That said, I'm not fixed on the billable hour which is why this article and comments are so interesting. So, I do thank you for sharing your method.
Yeah that's exactly what I was going to say. Surprised anyone thought Stadia was a good idea (both internally at Google and customers thinking it was worth trusting their hard-earned cash to buy games that only live within the walls of the chocolate factory given Google's long established track record of pulling the rug out whenever people come to rely on them in that fashion).
Interestingly, two of these — one of the disambiguation pages, and one of the least-viewed non-disambiguation pages — were created by the same user, Carlossuarez46, and are both about a location in Iran.

Do you believe in the idea of emotional damages?

Because losing a save can be an emotional event with feelings of loss higher than loss of physical goods depending on what was in it.

I'd expect even long heavily customizable RPGs to top out at 150 hours of actual feelings of lost progress, but that's still a considerable sum. I don't think courts would want to try valuing that though due to how such a precedent could be abused.
When I wrote "creators should be able to create things as they see fit" I wasn't really thinking that as allowing them to ignore laws, like safety and such.

But ultimately, why is that even a question? The still have that 600 hours of playing they've done, nothing can change the past.

What has changed is the future games: to get to the same point the were at they would, presumably, need to play about the same amount of hours.

Maybe if they truly won't be able to restore the data (I expect they will), then perhaps some sort of conversion from hours for "in game" currency could be used, where the currency could be used for buing items or others stuff (map visibility?) applicable to the game.

I haven't played Ghost Recon, though, so I don't know this is at all a realistic solution to the game.. and it would be relatively big effort to make this system for just this (hopefully) single-time situation.

Ulaanbaatar is ugly but nevertheless interesting. There is much to learn. I liked the big market with its yurt parts section very much.

The Altai is very far away from Ulaanbaatar. Very far. It is a 1.400 km tour mostly on sand tracks. I would use a car and plan a week for just the trip from Ulaanbaatar to the mountains. But only if you hurry and don't want to stop and have a look left and right of the main track.

To enter the Altai you need a special permit because it is border area. But you get that easily in the capital.
It's free unless there's someone forcefully stopping other businesses from entering the market.
