This is fantastic question! We face something very similar (if not identical).

There are two parts to solve this problem
1. monitor and measure how consistent the cache is
2. figure out why they are inconsistent

I will focus on #1 in this comment. You can build something very similar to Polaris (mentioned in the blog) that
- tails your database's binlog so it knows when e.g. "friendship" data is mutated
- it can then perform the computation to figure out which cache entries "should have been" updated. E.g. if Alice just friended Bob, then Alice's friends-of-friends and Bob's friends-of-friends should reflect the change. And your monitoring service will "observe" that and alert on anomalies
> The case for expanding opportunities for brilliant Black and brown children

Just black and brown, the rest of children are on their own, right?
I really want to do interesting enjoyable work to be honest.
Equality of opportunity is impossible. Equality of outcome is an order of magnitude more impossible.

Each of us was born into this world through a randomized process that was not created by humankind: the genes you were born with, the environment you were given before you could manage your own affairs, the accumulation of genetic mutations over the course of countless millennia that resulted in who you are today. This is the opportunity you were born with.

To think that we can compensate for this random process with any level of precision is to wage war with nature, and I'd bet that nature will win.

It is an admirable goal, and certainly we can take steps to reduce inequality of opportunity. But true equality of opportunity, or anything close to it, is unattainable in this universe.
I always have the same question for people like this.

What do you want the world to look like 10, 20, 50 years from now, and how would the changes you're pushing for making immediately get us all closer to that?
Yes, but a study's conclusion isn't preordained. It's entirely possible for authors to end up disproving their hypothesis. So it doesn't follow that, because more research proposals about "reverse discrimination" were rejected, then more studies concluding "reverse racism" (holding all else constant) would be rejected.
And 100% of the votes from those precincts without observers should’ve been discarded. The real problem is that we don’t fund elections properly. This sort of thing isn’t a problem in other developed democracies. It’s only one here by design.
It is just the difference between "matters" and "solved".
Let me translate:

> decadent bourgeois values

Values that produce measurably better life outcomes for participants.

> would rather do their rightful part

Refusing to participate thereby harming their own future and the community surrounding them. Or worse, actively encouraging others to reject values aligned with success.

> fighting structures of oppression and injustice

Fighting the most meritocratic system of governance we’ve had thus far in human history, whereby following values of success leads to success, whether you’re born here or elsewhere, and whatever your color, creed, or gender.

If I lived in a perfect world with universal bike lanes and drivers that were actually mindful of cyclists and gave them space, I'd gladly do most of my errands with a cargo ebike. Sadly we do not live in that world. Cycling on public streets with real traffic is signing up for a lot of stress and a not insignificant chance of bodily harm. Until that's fixed with infrastructure changes on par with what they have in the Netherlands, I make my peace with using a 2T machine.

No, EU has not sanctiond _all_ Russian banks. IIRC the reason was that some counties in the EU still needed to keep paying for gas.

If you fuck up and get your bank account frozen that does not mean that you don’t have to pay your morgage or that you can pay it with monopoly money.

Also there is a big difference between freezing access to a bank account and taking ownership of the funds.
Myth or not, it’s not all about money. But as Americans we love to always reduce it to this axis.

My father was a very successful/loved elementary school teacher for 40+ years. For many of those he worked for the same school in the same district. In 25+ years he watched the demographics drift from the wealthier families in the districts to one of the backwaters. They got as much money as the other schools in the district. But financially stressed families provide a lot less support for their kids’ education. They don’t have stay at home parents who improve the room experience. They’re not as able to provide the volunteer support to participate in extracurricular activities like field trips and competitions and after school enrichment things. Parents who are in “just survive” mode will telegraph that approach to their kids’ schooling efforts. Parents who have discretionary bandwidth and appreciate that more education got them there, telegraph that to their kids.
> In other words, 99.99999999 percent of cache writes are consistent within five minutes.

Those are the kind of rates that lead to very hard to find bugs. You won't properly write code in downstream systems to properly handle that failure case, and suddenly someone will get paged at 3am because it has just happened years after the code was deployed and nobody really understands how this corner case suddenly happened!

When I'm building systems, every happy codepath should either happen frequently or never.

Having a cache whose design allows it to be stale but only very rarely seems like a bad idea. If I was building something on top of this cache I would have a layer on top to force staleness for 1 in 1000 requests just to force the application built on top to be designed to handle that properly.

I highly disagree about no skills, objectively speaking. I do have some experience overall. I have some 5,000h from the mentioned saas app I did in the past and the desktop app I'm working on, including 2,000h with TypeScript and React + whatever hours I have working on WordPress plugins. There's little I could learn from the link you posted (besides Ruby of course). Plus every project I ever worked on, was something that I designed from scratch.

But I totally understand that my resume kinda sucks, because I don't have any experience working a full-time job in this. With the first SaaS, it was really a full-time job at a time, but I see how it could be interpreted as a side project, depending on the recruiter. My recent experience, 2,000h on a desktop app, I cannot list that, unless I add it to the contracting item on my resume as "working on a desktop app 1 year under an NDA". I'm hoping the new side project I would build could turn it around and put more focus on the full-stack JavaScript part, but again, I'm aware it may still not be enough, that's why I'm asking.

It doesn't create a poor educational culture on its own, but excessive incarceration leads to more single-parent (even zero-parent, in a sense—think: living with aunts/uncles, grandparents, et c.) families, worse job opportunities, et c, while ineffectiveness at actually curbing crime (despite our high incarceration rate) leaves lots of these kinds of areas wracked with criminality and violence on top of the damage that our policing and punishment approaches do.

That and the school-to-prison pipeline are contributing to the overall problem of—at the heart of this issue—multi-generational, persistent slums. The justice system is far from the only problem, which is why I listed others and left things open-ended to account for the huge list of other things that contribute, but it's part of it. However, I don't think much can be done about it by addressing only issues with the justice system, absent broader social reforms.

school administrators can choose an "older" test to purposefully get biased results

Do you have any evidence of school administrators choosing "older" tests with biased questions about tennis scores or whatever other cultural trivia rich white kids are most likely to know about? I took an IQ test when I was a kid (early 90's) and it was a bunch of abstract questions involving mental rotations of objects, determining the next number in a sequence, determining the missing object from a set of objects, and so on. There were no questions about vocabulary or trivia of any kind.
>In April the Supreme Court decided what seemed to be an abstruse case about federal benefits owed to Puerto Ricans. But Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion began with a startling passage. He asserted that the United States has no business deciding anything for Puerto Rico because our ownership of that island — and by extension other US colonies — is unconstitutional.

Great!

They pay taxes, then look what happened during Hurricane Laura.

This liminal space of "fuck you, pay me, but don't expect the same benefits as the 50 states" needs to end, one way or another[1].

Ironically, equality of outcome is actually easier to realize, because you can just drag everyone down to the same crappy level by state mandate and call it "equity". True equality of opportunity would require the admission that certain cultures glorify things which are not conducive to academic success. We accept that black culture values athletics (and that this creates outsized athletic success for black people), why can we not accept that that same culture would deprioritize academics over athletics?

> The researchers caution that most of medical errors aren’t due to inherently bad doctors, and that reporting these errors shouldn’t be addressed by punishment or legal action. Rather, they say, most errors represent systemic problems, including poorly coordinated care, fragmented insurance networks, the absence or underuse of safety nets, and other protocols, in addition to unwarranted variation in physician practice patterns that lack accountability.

I respectfully disagree. All these are systemic problems as indicated and need to be solved by a revamp of the whole system. They are not magically going to fix themselves, there is no financial incentive to do so.
Yeah, high Senior / low Staff at Apple nets you 250k based on folks I know

it's kinetic energy that matter at the impact.
def: E=mv^2/2

assuming car 2 is 2x heavier than car 1, to have the same kinetic energy, their respective velocities should be:
m2 = 2 * m1
2m1 v2^2/2 = m1 * v1^2/2
2 * v2^2 = v1^2
v2 = v1/sqrt(2) ~ 0.7

another word 2000lbs car driving at 100mph has the same kinetic energy as 4000lbs driving at 70mph

I hate this woke nonsense about equity in students. Man I probably would have been so bored in school and settled for the status quo if I had to be in classes where the lowest common denominator was the average American student. Luckily all we had to do was pass an assessment to get into gifted classes. They really should change the name though, but keep the classes. We are equal in our human rights, not in our capacity to learn certain things. That said, obviously students in less academically strenuous classes shouldn't be swept under the rug and they should get as tailored an education as possible. Trying to squash all kids into the same politically correct group won't work and hurts everyone.
This is why I continued to use sublime text all the way up to capitulating to TypeScript. Code was slower because of all the intellisense. I've had Code freeze on me a few times. Something that I don't have happen in Sublime or Vim. If you have a lot of RAM and work on a current mainstream OS it may seem smooth, but it's still using 400mb of RAM. May as well use Eclipse or WebStorm FWIW. That said I'm using VSCode now too, but things can always be better :).
The claim itself is fine because it is kind of tautological. An error that cannot be observed in any way is probably not an error. However, you have to prove that it can't be observed.

This is quite different than what the described system does though. The system flags errors that have been observed. The correct claim to go with what the article does would thus be:

> For any anomaly in a stateful service, it is an anomaly only if the current clients running their current operations happen to observe it. Otherwise, we argue that it doesn't matter at all.

It's much more noticeable this way, isn't it?
Yeah, and it sucks. I'd much rather be doing something charitable.

That takes not dis-investing in public higher ed to the degree we did during the 2008 recession. It takes decades to build a new R1 research institution, and a commitment of large sums of money over that time. Rockefeller created the University of Chicago, Leyland Stanford his namesake, where are Buffet, Bloomberg, Walton, Mars, and Gates Universities? That could be a good use of some of the modern billionaire money, if we're not going to spend tax dollars on new R1 institutions.

So far I have found the key to being efficient in this type of environment is to have many things on the go at once.

You are used to things having few dependencies so you can focus on one task and take it to completion. Now there are many dependencies and so you have lots of downtime. You can use this downtime to set other things in to motion.
