Maybe it's like politics, where given only two choices, people will just gravitate towards the extremes over time and become hyperpolarized?

I wish there was a sane third way. Like instead of "Speedy delete" (why the hell is that EVER necessary), maybe a friendly auto-merge suggestion ("Hey, thanks for your contribution! This article may not be notable enough to stand on its own, but your addition would be a very valuable addition as a new section of this other existing article. Mind if we put it there instead?") or something like that.

When someone spent hours creating something as a volunteer, they shouldn't ever be met with a choice of "Either convince our bureaucracy in the next few days that this is important, or you will lose all your work." That's an insanely hostile policy towards new editors.
You're right, unlocking the phone every single time you want to interact with it is exceedingly tedious.

Which is why I remove the FaceID/passcode completely. The overall improvement to my QoL is well worth the increased risk. And all my truly sensitive apps are passcode protected, anyway.
Wow I would of opted for this a few months ago instead of a Jesus phone 13mini. 5.9”, headphone jack, light, fast, wow
Samsung XCover 5 seems the best bet atm, to the point I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it earlier; smaller than just about any other android phone I've encountered in years (almost iPhone Mini sized), has a removeable battery and theoretically should have zero need for a case. The double combo of Samsung promising longer support cycles and it technically being an enterprise model mean it should be supported longer than most Android phones would be too.

New they're a bit pricey for the specs but you can find them like new used on ebay for half RRP.
I think the most accessible small form factor Linux box right now is the Steam Deck. You're paying a bit more for game controller hardware if you just want to use it as a workstation, but it is just Linux under the hood and looks to be a pretty neat cyberdeck-like device.
Honestly that price is still insane. M1 is great and all but good lord.
Thank you for playing! I appreciate your kind words.
Well, store another secure box in the deposit box, lol.
IMO, everyone on the team knows exactly who gets shit done and who doesn't. If you're in the "gets shit done" camp, you're very likely valued. If you're not, well, they probably weren't going to put up with it forever.
Different situation. Bulk mail is not illegal, in fact the USPS subsidizes it. Spam calls ARE illegal.
There is this much simpler advanced technology that can be used instead that has been around for 50+ years: it's called libraries/modules. It works. Linux is a collection of thousands of libraries. Windows is a collection of thousands of libraries as well. Linux and Windows are way bigger than pretty much any other software out there. So I am sure this advanced technology is good enough to handle whatever you and most other devs are working on.
w.r.t. this investment firm, they seem all in on cryptocurrency so yeah - probably full of shit.
The cost of silicon is negligible compared to the cost of creating a high purity wafer. What will matter here is not the raw material cost but the processing cost. Even if this new material is 500x the cost of silicon I doubt it will matter if the processing can be done for the same price.
Prebuilding codespaces is now supported for multirepository and monorepo project
Seems to me that the new money can be used to set up an emergency fund and adding to your retirement fund. If you have kids set up a college fund.

Once you get that out of the way, use the money to fund activities that will add to your well being. Careful with adding stuff to your life. Ultimately you will need to take care of it. Many people become slaves to it and the more you have the more you will have to take care of.
I just want a really small laptop like those Vaios from back in the day.
Counterpoint: any phone made in the past 5 years is just about the same. I have a working 6 year old Motorola with a sturdy battery and I've never felt it lacked anything I need. It runs modern websites and apps just fine. I honestly have no idea what people are talking about when they compare phone features these days. There hasn't been a useful innovation since fingerprint unlock.
You mean a Client Server system? That is not microservices.
You're comparing mac people with intel vs mac people with M2. They are comparing non-mac people before M1 was released to after M1 was released and (rightly) pointing out that none of those people really care about this.
There are wide variations in price: some advance purchase sleeper only fares are cheap; at the outside a full-price Anytime ticket plus a room supplement to use the sleeper could cost a fortune. And pricing is not straightforward once you start digging in: have a look at http://brfares.com/!expert?orig=EUS&dest=FTW for example...
I actually have my own video evidence of how inept they are. At a previous job they raided our office and when they told me to turn off the building's surveillance cameras, I started recording with my phone. They didn't understand what VMware ESXi was and kept trying to take an image of the drives to no avail. They had our backup appliance with a years worth of snapshots but that wasn't enough. They actually already had snapshots from the cloud provider before the raid but INSISTED the physical server must be imaged or taken. Finally I made a deal with them to take half of our RAID10 and not take the whole server.

> No. The things you are saying are completely normal and expected

They really aren't.

> Remember the initial switch to Windows 8

Yes, it was terrible, people hated the change and that it was hard to make it work like the older versions, it's still famous for being horrible and unusable and MS basically rolled it back in the face of overwhelming criticism. (Windows 8 is actually a really good point of comparison here, I never claimed that only the gnome people have done this)

> Linux distributions had frequently been switching between window managers or from GNOME to KDE and vice versa

Yep, and you could always switch back and forth, easily. Gnome 3 was scorched earth.

> The real WTF is using something like XFCE and expecting nothing to change for 20 or more years

Yet here I am, and here most people on Windows are, and on OS X. MacOS X from 2001 is still recognisable today. Move the start button on Windows 11 to the left and you've basically got an evolved Win 95/NT 4.

Evolutionary changes and improvements are great. People choosing to work differently is great. Designers exploring different ways of working, great. Wading in and hamfistedly breaking everything about how people work, then telling them they're wrong for wanting to keep working that way, is virtually never well received.
Yeah, "optimizing for engagement" too often becomes "optimizing for addiction" =/
OMG.

The court system does need a way to force people to follow instructions. Since the legal system found Donziger committed fraud, it makes sense that they'd ask him to return the funds. Since he refused, it follows they'd take steps to compel him.

If you think the initial conviction was wrong, then everything that follows is unjust, but regardless of whether it was just, it's entirely logical.

What's the alternative? "Judge: You've been convicted of stealing millions of dollars, return them." "Criminal: No, I don't feel like it." If there's no penalty for refusing to comply, then there's really no point in fining people or ordering asset forfeiture.

Again, if you think Donziger did nothing wrong, then it's unjust that the process has been applied to him, but I don't see any real issue with the process. What he was convicted of didn't come with a lot of jail time, but it did require him to return the money.
What an absurd, ridiculous, insane strawman argument. Apple is banning nobody and nothing. Apple is providing an opt-in mechanism for screening for potential nudity for parents that may want to give a phone to a child that they haven't had the talk with. Categorically different.

That content has extreme temporal properties. An image that's uploaded is increasingly less likely to be accessed over time. You can probably store it on very cheap hardware with pretty serious compression.

Not to mention that it's mostly text and images that get uploaded to these sites. Videos are the worst case. Let's say there are 1 billion facebook accounts, each one uploads 1GB of data (seems huge), and let's assume that compression just cancels out replication.

That's 1,000 petabytes. On S3 that's in the low 6 figures per year, obviously ignoring the exfil/access costs.

That's not that much. Obviously you want to keep some of it "hot" - profile pictures, recently uploaded pictures, etc. Hand waving, assuming 1% of the data needs to stay hot (seems high), that's 10PB of data. Certainly you're in "big data" land but it's not like there aren't databases that'll handle it.

Not to mention FB invests in tech like zstd.

Cold storage is definitely still getting much cheaper. Dropbox SMR drives are pretty crazy:

Nothing you say can't be accomplished by using libraries instead. The largest software on earth (Linux/Windows/...) is created by composing thousands of libraries into a single system. With thousands of developers contributing from all over the world. It works. It's proven.
I totally remember the time the oracle feed flash loan thing on my fdic insured US dollars was hacked and it violently went to near zero.

Oh wait - that never happened.
A decent measure is the number of unique individuals with a negative background check showing: violent, financial, or drug charges. The best metric I know of that approximates this is linked below; and it’s woefully undercounting.

Aside from a single h1-h6 tree, I could imagine separate semantic tags having more traction if they contained matching alt text, as with an image tag. A sidebar might have a single-sentence summary, etc. ... Just speculating here about where more value might be added.
So we're theoretically not supposed to complain about back-button breakage, but you really need to know before you click on this that it comprehensively broke my back button. When I tried to go back in my history (mobile FF, holding down back button), it was just endless copies of the site. I had no choice but to close the tab. With abuse that flagrant I'm honestly tempted to flag the article, but at minimum you should open it in a new tab.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this?
Libraries can do the exact same thing. And it is a less complex solution.

Contrary to how this sounds, is not like DC is complaining about the migrants, just the lack of resources to handle this sudden rise of paperwork.
Switched from iPhone SE 2016 to an iPhone Mini, tbh the loss of touch ID alone was enough to mean it felt like a big quality of life drop. Less so now that I don't have to be wearing a mask so often but still feels significantly worse and I'd happily trade some screen space for it.

I suspect a big chunk of why the SE is still around with its current design is a concern of how put off some older users may be from having to adjust to a less consistent unlocking system.
Wow, I tried to predict what I'd see but I didn't expect it to be such a funny mix of professor archetype vs. student archetype right off the bat.

The general situation is also kind of amusing because if you want to really contribute to the solution of a one-word problem (not their job, I know, but), it's usually very helpful to start by listing as many definitions of that one word as you can. Especially if there's disagreement over the correct definition.

And then the super secret trick next move is to never throw any of the definitions away, but rather to identify the leverage points of each separate definition.

And poof, where you once had a disagreement, you now have a bunch of discrete tools with identified advantages, and hopefully the smarts to use 'em!

(I also get that the WP community can also be extremely singular in its honing-in approach to problem solving. In general, a really common introvert curse is always being too focused on one conclusion, one question, one process, etc.)
We use it throughout our UI in all interactive elements. It's super annoying when, say, a button or a navigation element gets accidentally selected for no reason.

>associated rising costs of operating in Korea

are they trying to make me believe Korea, place of one of the fastest internet on the planet has especially expensive transit cost for 10Mbit streams? compared to US? :) Or maybe its because its common to have symmetrical 1Gbit at home there and we had to come up with some kind of excuse?

Is it this? https://thediplomat.com/2021/08/netflix-and-sk-broadband-bat... Are they silently taking it in the rear (or rather passing it onto consumers) instead of sending lawyers after ISPs?
Jane Street using monoliths to manage $bn of trades a day and millions of transactions per second. So nothing you say makes microservices necessary.
> How do you explain a non-negligible part of middle of America who voted for Obama voting for Trump?

The labor movement always had a socially reactionary underbelly. My hypothesis: it wasn't bad economic times that activated Obama-Trump voters. It was, rather, good economic times that triggered those voters to flip from labor-first to identity-first. The tension was always there. This is why the Tea Party fizzled and why Romney couldn't activate the switch -- reactionary blue collar folks knew intuitively that those movements weren't "on their side". But by 2016 a bombastic billionaire (also obviously not on their side) could be excused because the economy was good enough to at last put identity first.

I grew up in a suburb that flipped and my wife is from a mid-sized non-metro city that also flipped. Obama Trump voters are substantially all of our social circle.

A lot happened, but honestly, "youtube's algorithm and super effective conservative media" is probably the best explanation in over 1/2 of the roughly 3 dozen anecdotal cases. It's just pure identity.

Some blame Obama for outsourcing and the GFC, but that's mostly noise. First of all, the major factory that closed wasn't outsourced. It closed because the company was wildly mismanaged, and was not replaced with a foreign factory. Also, this happened five years before the GFC and Obama's election. Most of the folks in our circles remained employed throughout that GFC and all of them did very well from 2010 on-wards.

They're currently all doing very well financially; far better than the late 20s/early 30s city dwellers whose conversations I overhear in the coffee shop. Red America can afford single family homes with big yards, saves for retirement, and just generally lives a very comfortable life unimaginable in blue cities. With jobs in law enforcement, trucking, and in hospitals which don't require even an associate's degree. It's really the American dream -- graduate from high school, six weeks of training, and you're making enough to afford a house and kids and retirement within a couple years.

The resentment and utter hatred of liberals is visceral and real. Pretending it's economic is bullshit cover. Tell someone sharing a bedroom in NYC that their counterpart with less education, who works fewer hours, and lives in a SFH with a pool hates them because of the unfair economic spoils of the former.

Also, the economy was doing extremely well in 2016. Economics is now top-of-mind, but it didn't even come close to motivating them to vote for Trump in 2016. That was pure identity politics.
Firefox reader.

And probably some optimization on the engines to sort the fetching of the resources and painting the screen.

I agree, learning Ansible (or equivalent) is on my todo list.

I the meantime, a document (and maybe a shell script) with commands explaining how to reinstall the machine from an environment provided by the hosting provider (a PXE-booted Debian) is enough considering the machine is only critically required for a few days every quarter and needs only softwares that’s already packaged by the distribution.
I'm not clear that "in a recession" is a particularly useful state to anyone.

Even with a complex formula, you're still dropping the useful details.

Nope. Each team is responsible for a library. The monolith is composed by combining those libraries into a single application. It gives you all the benefits without the disadvantages (no encode/decode/network latency, easy rollback, easy transactions management etc. etc. etc.)

Since you're here - had you read Dr. Bloodmoney, or A Terran Odyssey, both by Philip K Dick? It very neatly fits the vibe but I've never seen it mentioned as a reference. And it has an idea (a guy who makes fake cigarettes, for people who won't let an apocalypse get in the way of their addiction) that seems so perfectly Fallout that I'm surprised it's not part of it. Or maybe I've forgotten that part.
Thousands of developers use libraries and not microservices to implement Linux and Windows. If they can do it so can you. So no that is not correct.
What is sigstore?
I think this breakage is epic enough to warrant calling out.
I don’t think so.

The highest speed storage is cheaper than ever and getting cheaper. That’s the expensive stuff. Our “big” high speed storage array was like $5M in 2012. Now it’s like 10x bigger, 5x faster, and 40% of the cost.

Bulk spinning disk prices drop at a slower rate but historically they are performance bound. The marginal byte of cold data has no marginal cost, as you always have lots of space on disks where you’re short on IO budget.

Really cold workloads that need to live on-prem for reasons and need to be retained for 30+ years can go even cheaper. That stuff lives on tape at a lower price point, like a half penny per raw gig.
>Yes, your PG&E bills are higher. And they’re probably going to go up even more, because PG&E needs to bury power lines and pay off manslaughter victims’ families, and the investors would rather you pay for that instead of them.

>I’m not an investor, but if I were, I’d sure think twice before investing in a company that spent a great deal of time in criminal court over an endless array of manslaughter charges. But PG&E has a special arrangement, that is, a monopoly, and any financial penalties they suffer can simply be passed along to you the consumer, which makes them a very safe bet for investors.

I don't quite know what solution people with these politics have. They don't like oil companies (which are capitalist competitors) or utility companies (which are run with help from the state and have profit caps). Of course being a monopoly is bad incentives - but the alternative is more free market control. If you want PG&E to not be allowed to make any money - then it will just be unable to hire workers, run plants or provide people with power.

How did you get initial traction for your newsletter?
Aren't the names <article> and <section> pretty descriptive already? In plain English it seems reasonable to say "I read the first section of this article", while "I read the first article of this section" just doesn't feel right.

I realize that not everyone is a native English speaker, but in the case of these two words it seems to me that the non-technical, casual definitions or article and section are enough to differentiate them.

May career path took me from the very hard sciences to the biological ones. Though bio is experimentally trivial compared to the complexity of astrophysics, bio theory is millennia harder.

One of my favorite quotes about biology goes something like:

"An alien spaceship lands in your yard. You are kindly invited in to study and tour the ship. The technology is clearly billions of years more advanced than our own. Not decades more, not millennia more, not megayears more, but clearly gigayears more.

This is biology"

Sorry, can't find the exact quote and citation right now!
Nope. 95% of SaaS products out there use monoliths not microservices. For good reasons.

The matter of opinion thing got me too. I felt like I had to guess what the writer's intention was with many of the questions instead of just answering them factually. I was clicking through the pasta quiz on "Spaghetti and Meatballs" and one of the questions is something like "True or false: Any pasta dish can be made with any kind of pasta."

...What? What does that mean? I mean, I guess it's called "Spaghetti and meatballs" and not "spaghetti and pasta" for a reason? Most dishes use specific pastas for their specific qualities with regards to how they absorb sauce and things like that. False?

"Wrong! You can make any pasta dish with any pasta! Just because the recipe calls for spaghetti doesn't mean you can't use fettuccine!"

Ok? What does this have to do with anything?

I'm imagining it being 6:30 and the user is already hungry and can't even open the recipe yet because he's working through these insane questions lol.
