> Japan has a much higher rate of suicide.

Maybe it was _much_ higher a very long time ago, but it has been on a downwards path for a long time. And the US's on an upwards path... for so long that it has actually past Japan. So not only is Japan's suicide rate not _much_ higher, but it has been, for a few years, slightly lower.
If most of science is normal science where you have a tough idea what you’re doing yes. You may not know the solution to your problem but you know the problem you’re trying to solve and mostly your trying to solve it with the same tools the rest of your discipline is using. Even when that’s not true you’re trying to finish a PhD faster than other PhD students or to publish more or better work so you can get a better postdoc. There’s a lot of competition.
Well, a variation on this is what Nobel prize winner Bob Dylan says
in Brownsville Girl, that shared suffering is important:

"Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content.”

Maybe suffering here can be interpreted as shared challenges.
What would be the best way to gauge that?

My naive take on this would be to have poll questions like:

> Are you in favor of consumers' right to repair? ...How strong is your position? (1–5)

Of course this is vulnerable to strategic answering, where people just slam on ‘5’ for each question. Like how star ratings are inflated on Amazon.

My next strategy would be pairwise contests. So:

> Alice supports right-to-repair (RTR) and raising property taxes. Bob is opposed to RTR and wants to lower property taxes. Who would you vote for?

> Carol supports RTR and applying the death penalty to a wider range of felonies. David opposes RTR and wants to eliminate capital punishment altogether. Who would you vote for?

But too much of that and you'd start to lose people. How many questions can you pose before you're only getting answers from serial poll-takers?
Sure, but just because good valuable videos are possible doesn't mean it will only be used for that.

I think it's not political alignment, it's stupidity. If he behaved like a left-wing idiot he'd be just as stupid as if it he behaved like a right-wing idiot. (My son didn't want to go to college for a few reasons, 'wokeness' being one of them, he still thinks Musk is an idiot and I have to fight hard to get him to recognize that Musk really has done some good things... e.g. he reminded me that Musk bought Tesla, he didn't found it!)

This Bloomberg article recycles a meme image that I usually hate in a way I find hilarious:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-05-25/elon-musk...

A person in Elon's Musk position has a lot of responsibility. If he does something stupid he could endanger the jobs of SpaceX and Tesla employees, not to mention investor's stakes, or the adoption of electric cars (... maybe that will go on without Tesla) or the further development of reusable rockets.

If he wants to make a big impact in space travel he's going to need to get contracts and get permits and he'd better be sweet with whatever party is in power to do that. (I knew a black guy who had right-wing views and hated Barack Obama who owned a wonderful patent portfolio for satellite communications but wasn't going to go anywhere because of his attitude.) Trying to act like Donald Trump because it gets him a short-term rush from his Twitter followers endangers everything he's accomplished.

I don't know what it's like these days but I recall especially the pernicious 'evangelism'. People on a literal salary promoting frameworks like they were from marketing. As a bargain basement, self-taught, late web 1.0 dev more comfortable on the server side I remember rake-stepping the undiscussed limitations of Backbone JS, and then studying the ridiculous complexities of Angular 1 while reading post after post of Angular doctrine, and then learning that the great leap forward for Angular 2 was "yeah we're going to throw all that bullshit out we were wrong." By the time I was done I genuinely had no interest left in me for another new framework, package manager, or library.

hey, great work. I couldn't find the specifics of the benchmark. Is there, by any chance you compare 1 instance of single threaded redis running on 64vcore to a multithreaded key-value store?

Can we see such disparity in benchmark even if we run Ncore instances of redis in parallel?

Right, but languages have finite extant implementations. If a language has no fast implementations then it's reasonable to call it slow.
Scientists don't need tables implemented in their markup. They need tables inside linked files that readers can actually use in data analysis without having to learn yet another complex technology. The browser could render linked CSV or SQLite files in a nice table widget for instance and people interested in the data could open it up in R and not have to mess around with parsing XML.

I read a long time ago in a book that it was from the steam/vapor of the pit that they would hang out around. I forget what substance was floating out of it but it made them "high".
I'm no longer involved in Redis, but I would love if people receive a clear information: from what the author of Dragonflydb is saying here, that is, memcached and Draonflydb have similar performance, I imagine that the numbers provided in the comparison with Redis are obtain with Redis on a single core, and Draonflydb running on all the cores of the machine. Now, it is true that Redis uses a core per instance, but it is true that this is comparing apple-to-motorbikes. Multi-key operations are possible even with multiple instances (via key tags), so the author should compare N Redis instances (one per core), and report the numbers. Then they should say: "but our advantage is that you can run a single instance with this and that good thing". Moreover I believe it would be fair to memcached to clearly state they have the same performance.

EDIT: another quick note: copy-on-write implementations on the user space, algorithmically, are cool in certain situations, but it must be checked what happens in the worst case. Because the good thing of kernel copy-on-write is that, it is what it is, but is easy to predict. Imagine an instance composed of just very large sorted sets: snapshotting starts, but there are a lot of writes, and all the sorted sets end being duplicated in the process. When instead the sorted sets are able to remember their version because the data structure itself is versioned, you get two things: 1. more memory usage, 2. a lot more complexity in the implementation. I don't know what dragonflydb is using as algorithmic copy-on-write, but I would make sure to understand what the failure modes are with those algorithm, because it's a bit a matter of physics: if you want to capture a snapshot at a given Time T0 of a database, somehow changes must be accumulated. Either at page level or at some other level.

EDIT 2: fun fact, I didn't comment something about Redis for two years!

It was killed in the Appropriations committee on a 7-0 vote, after passing in the Judiciary committee on a 8-1 vote.

The Appropriations committee (AKA Ways and Means in the US House) is where lobbyists spend their money. Anything that costs money has to go through this, and everything costs money.

The argument that this bill cost money was based on the potential impact on the courts as legal actions would be files to enforce the new warranty rights.

I get the need for some of it (e.g., smart pointers), but for new projects, I can’t see a good reason not to use Rust at this point.

There's tons of little details and inefficiencies in elisp that crop up such that easy things like "listen to responses" are hard to get fast. Random example: before native json support, large lsp responses (which can be multiple megabytes from some servers!) would take over a second and hitch the UI just to parse the json response. And that was after a lot of work to get response parsing dominated by json instead of GC time.
I think this is too cynical. This was all religious practice for the time, and the Oracle probably believed she was actually receiving visions from Apollo just as many modern churchgoers believe in visions and prophecies from God.
>The only difference between now and then is we have far, far more regulations and zoning rules in the way.

No, the only difference is that a metric fuckton of money which used to be parked in productive equity investments ran out of productive uses because the taps were never turned off and started to slush into the real estate market via REITs.

The price of Toronto RE, for instance, has not tracked with regulatory costs - it has shot up shortly after the aftermath of 2008, when global capital watched Canada have one of the most stable real estate markets skip the fallout of the subprime mortgage crisis. Paired with the rock bottom cost of money, Canadian Real Estate was viewed as a particularly stable investment class, prompting both Foreign Investors and REITs to dump capital into the market. The value in the market is the fact that it WAS better regulated that the competition, but it's now a toxic asset class. No study that I can find indicates that the volume of regulatory costs associated with the Toronto or Vancouver housing markets can be attributed to the specific inflection points associated with our current pricing environment.

Wages cannot support the volume of leverage in the Canadian housing market. The numbers on display as reported by RBC yearly indicate that the average house in Vancouver costs more than 100% of the gross wages of the average worker in the city. This number is typically 30-40% in most functioning RE markets. So if consumer demand literally cannot create the numbers we're seeing, then we need to look at other systemic changes in the demand profile for the asset.

And it's pretty easy to see what's going on if you spend 2 hours calling brokers. Toronto condos aren't sold to people to live there; they're pre-marketed to block investors aiming to purchase groups of units for rentals and finance their purchases with rental cashflows - condominium sales come with rental guarantees for 3-5 years - even if the rental market crashes, even the speculative investors won't feel it until developers start to display counterparty risk issues to increasingly large groups of block investors. So why not leverage yourself to the tits? The entire market has to crater for your investment to fail to produce a return. The underlying cashflow supporting development of these units, rental dollars, don't actually need to exist for the investments to pay off (which makes sense, because they literally cannot as per the income/financing ratio described above).

Beyond this, REITs have a tax advantaged position in respect of other cashflow positive investment classes

The idea that regulatory burden is the cause of cost increases of this magnitude is lunacy.
I think that they have no other option than to assume that human observations are at least reliable enough to work with, even if sometimes they go a little crazy.

I think that's actually why they focus on reproducibility - that's their tool for reaching something approximating a consensus reality in the face of experiential subjectivity, human unreliability, and the strong limits on individual human knowledge.

Me, I think that reproducibility is really useful, but I'm not so willing to say that if it's not reliably reproducible it must be coincidence or delusion.
I dunno... I took a look at a single file and found:

static constexpr unsigned NUM_SLOTS = Policy::kSlotNum;
static constexpr unsigned BUCKET_CNT = Policy::kBucketNum;
static constexpr unsigned STASH_BUCKET_NUM = Policy::kStashBucketNum;

NUM_, _CNT, _NUM, three different prefix/suffix for what seems to me like the same concept. That just tickled my inner nit-picker.
When other devs get stuck on something, they come to me or one of the other seniors. And then I or they solve it. Sometimes it's difficult, and sometimes it's a silly oversight. So yeah, I have no problem applying it to myself.

I can't really believe that people here think when you have more years under your belt, you somehow must be good. People get fired in companies because they don't reach the expected level. If you keep them, other colleagues will get frustrated and leave on their own. And then you're stuck with the underperformers.

And yes, everyone has limitations. Some sooner than others. Welcome to reality.

I find the discussions here very silly that somehow you must hire everyone without a technical interview, and never fire anyone because people don't have limitations. Not going to respond anymore.

This guy Mark Lynas studied the models and wrote a book about it, but then he wrote it again based on newer models, so make sure to find the latest one called "Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency" for a grizzly drilldown into the centigrades towards extinction. Few models deal with warming beyond three degress, in itself a point of some consideration, but the references are all there and here's the synopsis for the book.

> At one degree - the world we are already living in - vast wildfires scorch California and Australia, while monster hurricanes devastate coastal cities. At two degrees the Arctic ice cap melts away and coral reefs disappear from the tropics. At three, the world begins to run out of food, threatening millions with starvation. At four, large areas of the globe are too hot for human habitation, erasing entire nations and turning billions into climate refugees. At five, the planet is warmer than for 55 million years, while at six degrees a mass extinction of unparalleled proportions sweeps the planet, even raising the threat of the end of all life on Earth.
I think the issue here is figuring out how to make sure the tax breaks and other stimulus/incentives are "let's put some temporary fuel on this fire until it becomes self-sustaining" vs how it's seemingly gone for most other industries (ag, resources, banking, etc) where it becomes a long-term dependency and every new shakedown is anchored in a combination of emotional arguments and sunk cost fallacy.

Well, you are right if you are sticking up for a person with - according to the article - a history of transphobic and racist comments and so on.

However, it does serve as a warning to folks getting ready to take his class and would like to avoid their lifestyle being crapped on as part of a lecture or every time they visit a door. Additionally, it provides a reason the professor didn't want to take the class: You know, because they might tell him he cannot be openly transphobic.

Additionally, most of the folks I've met would still think he deserves things like food and housing and medical care as a basic human right, which he may or may not find scarce if he loses his job.
As far as I know most native web components use direct DOM manipulations over a virtual DOM. So I think the jury is pretty much out on VDOM and we are witnessing it transition to a relic of legacy frameworks.

As far as other innovations Svelte has brought, Vue with the <script setup> sugar looks quite similar to Svelte, as well as compiling to a render function (just like Svelte). I’m not super familiar with the intrinsics of Vue but the VDOM is starting to feel like a thin MIR of the framework which could be swapped out in a future major release, rather then something essential to it.

I honestly think that 10 years is a very conservative prediction.
