> I'm adding S3 replication support directly into LiteFS.

Nice! There's a lot of value one can get out of a blob store, despite it appearing seemingly at odds with block-device dependent systems, like most sql dbms.

When a database at BigCloud layered replication (real-time backups) atop S3, they did so by shipping both the WAL and the on-disk files. For write heavy tables, WAL was streamed every second, and on-disk files (snapshots) every 30mins (or at some apt size-based threshold).

While WAL streaming also doubled-up as a key foundation for them to build materialized views, support real-time triggers, and act as an online data-verification layer; S3 itself served as an insurance against hardware errors (memory, cpu, network, disk) and data corruption.

Elasticsearch / OpenSearch does something similar but it only implements snapshot-based replication to S3 (periodic backups).

What the absolute hell is wrong with consumers that they put up with this kind of shit?

1. I would never want any kind of software in my car, because this is precisely the kind of bullshit I would expect to happen, given being a person who knows the state of the software industry. That and death due to uConnect etc.

2. I even less would want any kind of remote access

3. I also don't want UN*X crap in my car like sh scripts or C code, you have billions of dollars, make a real language or use assembly since the software should be small anyway

4. The fact that someone will bring up GNU+Car just proves even more how dipshit you consumers are; you can't even understand how simple things are to fix (just stop putting software in things) and just reason about the major players of the tech industry in an abstract, dilettante way.

> I don't post this stuff because I hate Tesla or anything. In fact, it's just the opposite. I hate seeing Tesla derail themselves with this kind of nonsense.

Uhh no, I hate Tesla after seeing this post and hope they actually get cancer and die (admittedly, the same probably applies to every tech company).

What if you put a "90 pack" in yourself, do they also downgrade it for you?

I guess their routers just run out of packets like buffets run out of crab legs, huh.

There's a difference between saying "unlimited" and "up to n Mbps * t transfer per billing period".

We don't know or care how our packets are being measured. If there's a limit to them beyond the physical link, then it's not unlimited. "Unlimited packets internally but we will reduce the egress rate after a certain amount" also isn't "unlimited".
> refuses to do so in a social setting (i.e. an interview).

Interviews are very different from working together collaboratively. They're very different from presenting work to or working with a client or stakeholder, too, and even very different from a sales presentation. The space of things that might come up is effectively unbound, how you're being judged is wildly uncertain, you are being judged, and you know almost nothing about the people you're "working with". As practiced in software, they're closer to being called in to give a thesis defense without knowing in advance which thesis you'll be defending—and also everyone in the room is a stranger, and also you have no clue which aspects of your performance are being judged or by what criteria, and even know for a fact that some of the people conducting these have completely opposite opinions about which behaviors are desirable and which are "red flags".
What about addons that were purchased later, like FSD or BMW's heated seats? Does a simple receipt do the trick? It feels like we need some way to know that a record was (and still is) valid.

> If the upgrade reduced your resale value, would you still disclose it? Did you disclose it to insurance companies when you had it done, since it could impact your rates?

Yes and No.

Yes--simply because I'd rather cover my ass from a lawsuit down the line if the new owner discovered the aftermarket tune.

No, as to my knowledge the insurance company doesn't care about street legal aftermarket upgrades.

I've seen very few articles that make me want to get a Tesla. Most of them make me want to stay far away from that company.
It is also $70K. Not exactly a reasonable comparison to a Toyota RAV4.
Elon likes to play with words, and this could easily be that.

In the original article, it said Sergey and his wife were separated, although still cohabitating at the time, so you could technically say that she was not "fooling around on him."

Likewise there would be no legitimate reason for Sergey to toss out his friendship with Elon over it if it did happen. At least not for the long term. But it is clear that Elon is not the reason for the separation, although some media outlets originally made it sound that way.

Elon's statement about being too busy for affairs is laughable though, given the number of babies (that we know of) he's been spawning around the world. He's an all out rock star in the after hours.
What the fuck, if I RMA something and they replace a component in it with a better one, and I happen to be informed of which one they replaced, I need to resell it as if it doesn't have the better component, because I just assume the worst case possible which I would have only imagined if I read this thread? (I don't think it was resold "as a 90", unless that was the sole differentiator, yeah I'm not an expert in meme cars)

>> You could publish a dozen similar anecdotes every day for a decade.

> So? Once again, they are anecdotes.

"Anecdote" doesn't just mean "something I'd prefer not to have to think about", you know. Being very common makes the event systematic.

> Do you have any proof "it is not a set of beliefs that people are willing to put into practice" on a systematic scale?

Yes, we've been talking about it for a while.

> I can similarly provide thousands of anecdotes showing presumption of innocence. It means nothing except that those cases happened.

That's... not how logic works. On the one hand, we have hundreds of thousands of cases of people being railroaded for crimes they didn't commit based on no solid evidence. On the other hand, we have tens of millions of cases of people being railroaded for crimes they did commit, also based on no solid evidence.

But let's assume that second group consists only of convictions where the defendant's guilt was somehow actually proved. That wouldn't mean the system operates on the principle that people are innocent until proven guilty -- that claim is already falsified by the existence of the first group. It would mean that proof of guilt is often provided even though it isn't required.
I did my Master's at the University of Sussex, where Poplog (including Pop-11) was created. I was there in 2014. I asked one of our tutors how come the university did not teach any of that family of languages (Prolog and LISP variants) to its computer science students anymore. He said that in the '90s, the University had pushed Poplog so hard on students to the exclusion of other languages that were more popular in the industry, and hence more in demand by students, that there had been a backlash against Poplog, and the University had stopped teaching it completely.

This from memory and after questioning on my part that was mainly about teaching logic programming which I was primarily interested in (rather than functional programming).
I once interviewed someone with “Internet guru” on his résumé. I advised him there were only a handful of people I’d consider for that title.
I'm leaning this way too. I've read and understand the counterargument - "if we tell the bad actors why we banned them, it will give them explicit help on new ways to scam us." You know what? Too bad.

Here's my best analogy: If you run a jewelry store, yes, you can have hidden cameras and silent alarms and lots of things so the bad guys don't know what your defenses are. But also, sometimes a big person with a big weapon standing at the doorway is fine too. It very clearly tells people what your defenses are, and that's OK.

To build on that in Google's case: If they just said "Sorry, your payment via Brex triggered some of our security policies because lots of bad actors use Brex", then yes, bad actors would stop using Brex and look for other methods to defraud. Is that a....bad thing?

> Tesla did what was legally in their right to do, this is a nothing-burger.

Put me in the 1%. I won't buy another Tesla ever, until there is an ironclad guarantee that what's mine is mine. I did not license the car from them, I bought it outright.

> You feeling nostalgia for the good old days with MapQuest?

Everybody but Tesla has CarPlay. Most have 360* cameras, too, and physical switches and knobs for certain commonly used things, etc.

The real joke is this idea that Tesla is leading technologically. No, they aren't. They're behind everyone else at this point. A touchscreen-for-everything only seems futuristic to a certain niche demographic.
If it was actually just supply and demand then these dealerships wouldn't exist at all.
Tesla honors the price you order your Model Y at. Mine took about 3 months to get and the price did go up once during that time. I paid the original price.

Fun surprise ordering a Mach-E/F-150 Lightning and the dealer charges the market adjustment on your custom ordered car. No where is that fee disclosed until you go down to the dealership to pick it up.
that is the problem with oversubscribing though. making it possible to say "you have a guaranteed bandwith of X% of the total capacity" is a hard problem to solve, especially inside the core layers of the network, where traffic gets aggregated.

How are you going to make sure every tenant gets its share of bandwith equally? It requires traffic engineering (like RSVP-TE, which in term requires an MPLS network.) and a proper QoS setup. both of which are not trivial to implement at scale.

Going further down the network towards to aggregate layer is far more doable (between switches etc), but doing it across core links it is actually quite difficult to guarantee bandwith.
Why not say that you guarantee 50TB of bandwidth and use above that is subject to AUP or throttling on the pricing page? If I buy "unlimited" something, I do expect to use it without limits.

This is not to say that I don't think 250TB is excessive, but sales transparency is important.
It's called "sawn-in cords", as in using a saw to make a channel to hold the cords. It was a very common technique in the 18th and 19th centuries in fine binding that allowed for faster sewing of the text block; the cords would be thicker hemp or linen cords, to which the boards of the book would be attached.

In "perfect binding", which is the name for the overall class of binding the linked article is describing, where individual sheets are glued together along one edge, it's still called sawn-in cords for lack of a better name. It's not a typical addition in perfect binding, but it's exactly the same technique with the same purpose: adding cords to increase strength.

Here's a video of a well-known binder, Sage Reynolds, doing it as I described it for a perfect bound book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMXHmXSYXso
Not much, I’d like to remain anonymous, sorry. We’re doing apps for Jira and Confluence Cloud.
I agree how good the Ford Escape handling is. I have the PHEV trim and it reacts so well. I also set my driving mode to Eco the moment I drive, easily my biggest gripe about the car is that I cannot set the drive mode to default to Eco. I tried the RAV4 prime and it definitely has a higher kick. Also the RAV4 has a higher torque level before the engine kicks on. But I find the Sports mode on the Escape to be just like the RAV4 normal but not sure why I need my car to accelerate that fast.
As @silisili noted, maybe Evolution could work for you. If you have a spare machine, maybe give one of the more boring Linux distributions a try and install Evolution, and test out your workflow with it. Don't try to customize things beyond what you need for your workflow. Just tweak it enough to fullfill what you need to do your job. Plus try out the printing via your Dymo printer...and see how it goes. If there were other apps, i wouild suggest trying them out via WINE...but maybe that's not needede for email and Dymo printer? Good luck!
Sorry but that's a really bad analogy. Autobahn speed limit is related to safety and a lot of factors.

Here it's simply a matter of money. If more than 200TB/month triggers an angry email, then just state they have a limit of 200TB instead of stating unlimited. It's not so complex.
If you take your previous comment, you wrote:

> New owner is pissed at old owner, when they should be pissed at tesla.

The analogies are trying to explain why or why not the owner should be pissed at Tesla, which if I understand your argument is because it was Tesla who made the change.
This is a good analogy but inadequate. What Dan is saying goes beyond that. In the scenario you're describing, it is rational to prefer those recruits—for exactly those reasons. The behavior that Dan describes involves a heap of irrationality.

The Rav4 prime was 57k after all the fees. My Model Y was 61k

Edit: Those numbers were numbers I experienced buying a year ago. Article numbers put some Rav4's more than current Model Y performance price.
She settled with an agreement that made sure she literally owned it and that it would get published so she would get royalties.

Thanks for clarifying. With drivers they get around that by using vulnerable drivers, but this isn't regular kernel mode code execution, and MS will probably revoke certs for future vulnerable trustlets? (Or not, since that can cause outages). Sounds like a whole new area of research.

Gitlab can work as a full CICD platform.
In this case it works because the author explicitly put a NUL at the end of the string in the text file. I don't think the author was trying to suggest that you can do this with arbitrary data.
Eh, the customer should get to know where they are cutting corners aka what they are paying for. A better example is a Walmart selling spam as ham. How does your example make false advertisement okay?

“We’ll of course they are cutting corners!” doesn’t seem like a defense at all to me.
Toyota's argument has been that with a limited battery supply, you get more fuel use reduction by building lots and lots of hybrids than by building a few electric cars. I'm not sure they're wrong. (Of course we do need electric cars to be in the mix to get to long term targets.)
None of which are hybrids.
I just found jobs for 1,000 engineers, right at the top of my head! Now you have so many engineers and so many customers, you also need internal tools. You need an internal tool to manage customer refunds, customer support, etc… You need HR tools for vacations, performance review, …

I think the complexity demonstrated in your post is a reasonable explainer for why companies like Salesforce and SAS are so highly valued - it stops a lot of those teams needing to exist at companies for which proprietary tech isn't a competitive advantage.

Look, greed knows no bounds. My country's government gave car importers tax exemptions to bring electric and hybrid cars and what do you think happened after that? They were selling them almost 100% over market value.

What happened after that? The market didn't even bother asking anything about them and with electric bills ramping up, the opportunity of somewhat have a seizable market for electric cars was lost.

Whoever think we'll phase out regular cars by 2035 is either lying, being naive or getting something out of it.
>An entire (sub)industry being predicated on fraud doesn't make it not fraud

I was curious enough to look at this story a bit more. Some related, interesting tidbits: In 2004, Niger estimated 50% of farmland was using the farmer managed natural regeneration framework (FMNR) described in the article, essentially reforestation through growing new trees from sprouts on old tree stumps [1]. An update in 2022 says over 200 million trees have been added via FMNR [2].
