> A master/slave database setup gets its meaning from the master telling the slaves what to do.

This I agree with. I suppose my problem is that whatever you decide to call it, that dynamic doesn't change. Although I've yet to see an article on the subject of the use of Master/Slave in computing which doesn't bring up America's historical use of slaves, the dynamic being described is older than humanity itself.

Simply calling a thing something else is never going to be enough when the problem people have is with the very concept of the thing being renamed. It's doomed to fall victim to the euphemism treadmill. No matter how abstract and convoluted our terminology gets trying to avoid talking about it, what we're describing is still right there in our faces. Rather than try to pretend the very concept of Slaves and Masters doesn't exist, it'll save a hell of a lot of time to just continue to call it what it is plainly.
Many people want to use physical servers via the same kind of infrastructure that gets used for VMs. Consider something comparable to AWS's `.metal` instance types or the Kubernetes "bare metal" provider, for running things that don't run in a VM (such as VMs, since nested virtualization is variously unavailable or slow).
South West connectivity is fine, you can get from Plymouth to Exeter to Bristol to Birmingham and up to Edinburgh without going anywhere near London.

Part of it was from listening to his own recordings, part of it was from discovering it inside his brain again. As Pat's aneurysm grew over time, it's likely that his brain had already somewhat remodeled to accommodate it. IIRC, in a TV show about it, they talked with one of his friends/students whom he would play guitar duos with. His friend was playing for Pat after the aneurysm (Pat wasn't back to playing yet) and the guy hit a wrong chord and Pat suddenly said "No, D minor 9th" and grabbed the guitar and played the right chord.

Pat also tells a similar story about meeting Joe Pesci backstage and knowing him only from movies until Joe tells him, "I can tell you what you used to drink at Smalls' Paradise in the '60s". Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niUwDegpYyo

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I'm going to re-read Canticle soon-ish but I wonder to what extent Miller endorses even the latter. I feel like his concerns were much more immediately spiritual than cultural. I'm thinking particularly of the scene where the main character of whichever volume meets the Pope up-close and is taken aback to see that his garments are moth-eaten and threadbare.

That's a very biased way of looking at things, because you don't seem to understand how the research is organized in the first place.

The industry works all the time with academics. Academics do the fundamental science labor, which means identifying new targets, new pathways, new proteins and so on. This kind of research is indeed usually funded by a combination of public and private grants. Most of that research leads to nothing in the end, by the way - not everything they produce is picked up by the pharma industry, because most of what they produce fails to give results - that's the inherent property of doing fundamental research.

Then the industry purchases/licenses (and patents) what is considered to have the largest commercial potential - then pre-clinical, phase 1 up to phase 3 are mostly funded by the pharma industry. This is also where the bulk of the cost is. A clinical trial in phase 3 can costs in the dozens of millions of dollars, and there's always a solid chance that it fails to meet its endpoints so the risk is far from nil.

Based on the NIH numbers, the funding for research (i.e. grants) is about 45 billions annually. At the same time, the pharma industry spends 87 billions per year on R&D, which is about twice more.

I’ve never been to the state of Georgia, but I was under the impression that both Atlanta and Savannah had pretty good public transit systems. Atlanta has a metro system (MARTA) which is the eight largest in the USA by ridership. And Savannah has an extensive bus network, and a walkable downtown area where transit is actually free to ride.
worth it for book 3 though

I've been roughly halfway through the book for years, so take this for what it's worth, but if they were actually footnotes I might have read them. Instead they are endnotes, meaning you have to pick up a solid pound of book and flip to the end each time you encounter one. And there are many.

I just found that dehumanizing. Lol
The binary format is rather poor as is the norm on Windows, but you do have to remember one of the goals is that the boot loader can read part of the registry to decide which drivers to load.

The boot loader has to fit in a few sectors so there isn’t really room for SQLite or something.

I've started playing with AWS App Runner (https://aws.amazon.com/apprunner/) which makes things fairly simple. You just point to a github repo, tell it the build command and the run command and it will deploy your project in containers and even load balance and scale up automatically.

Now it's not fully baked yet. DNS configuration is broken if you want to use your own domain (see https://github.com/aws/apprunner-roadmap/issues/37 and https://github.com/aws/apprunner-roadmap/issues/65 ) but you can get around that by putting cloudFront in front with just a few more clicks (and you get the benefit of having some of your files cached if you want).

mRNA COVID treatment is a great example in the loss of trust in media, institutions, and each other. By suppressing and censoring information, I believe we have lost so much trust and good will. I know I have lost a lot of trust in medical authorities.

We would have been a lot better off allowing all parties to publish data and analysis, and stress critical thinking skills to the public. Suppression and censorship lead to mistrust.

Yes this means people will form their own opinions and we won't have uniform decision making. But what public policies actually need 90% compliance to be effective? I can only think of a few extreme examples.
I doubt you'd get any results for it. The service requires an verification code sent via text message.

Fun fact: Tolkien hated English "borrowing" words from other languages that we had already - so he named his hero Bilbo Baggins (bag ends) of Bag End - where Bag End literally is the English for cul-de-sac (end of bag).
Little usability nitpick: it is really hard for me to see the connection Paris - London (less than 2.5 hours in real life thx to Eurostar). You need to very precisely mouse over Gare du Nord, which is hard, since it seems hidden by the other train station and airport nearby.

Not sure if at a certain scale, one should see all the conenctions form all the train stations in Paris?

Red Programming Language – The Road to 1.0
Most of the US is nowhere close to as densely populated as Western Europe, even excluding Alaska and the mountain states. You can't just look at the land area and population and make a naive calculation of density.

Western Europe's population density gradient is much sharper than most of the US. Only the coastal corridor of the Northeast US really comes close. The gradient of the populations is important because it tells you how many people are within a usable range of the train stations.

Even if you've got a high speed line between Madison and Milwaukee what in the hell are you going to do once you step off the train? Neither city has impressive public transit and both are very spread out. A high speed link might save a boring drive between those cities but that savings would get eaten up by the intra-city travel.
Shaving the head isn't actually that much work, ~5 min per day (if you do it daily). Feels a lot less strenuous than trimming every week or two, even though it's probably a bit more time spent overall.

This worked really well for me. My phone is always silent/DND, but I get notifications on my watch. If I want to stop getting notifications, I just take off my watch.
The closest I've come to that recently is an old Casio BOSS SF-4900C digital organizer that I used while out hiking and walking. It worked great (I was getting really annoyed at the lack of products for this application) but I used shorthand and didn't intend to transfer the data out at all.

It was definitely easier to solve the problem as a whole using dictation or writing breaks every 20m or so. Some of the portable keyboards out there are looking really fun to play with, but they don't seem like they'd work well while walking.

In the case of laying in bed, the best solution I've found is a lumbar support pillow for office chairs, a pillow with a flat back which I use as a table. It is comfortable, plush but firm, and makes a really awesome device platform, with friction to keep things from sliding around and also a mousepad-style texture. I use it more than my regular bed table and even took it on vacation...

What are you trying to say here? They have the data they have regardless of whether you choose to try the service.

This sets up a false dilemma, i.e. there are other ways to build goodwill.

With that said, I suspect the data behind this is not data that the average individual would have much success in acquiring.

The subtle hostility seems unnecessary.
The article specifically addresses why this is a bad idea.
I think it's all too easy to say they should have just used an existing language. The most obvious feature of the nix language is that it's lazy, because they want their enormous collection of configuration dictionaries computed on demand. There are no mainstream languages that are lazy.

Well, there's Haskell, and I expect any Haskell programmer to be able to pick up Nix very quickly.

Guix has gone with a strict language, Scheme, but I understand they have their own monadic DSL to cope with the peculiarities of following the Nix model. So again, not something that a mainstream language can do well, and even as a Schemer, you're going to have to learn their macro language.

Types and tooling

There's pitiful tooling for something like JSON-RPC and no equivalent of OpenAPI for it.

If you use gRPC, there's still less tooling than there is for GraphQL and the primary transport is Protobuf.

Being able to make JSON HTTP requests ("JSON-Transcoding") is a second-class citizen if even supported at all by your server library.
good point.

samsung apparently also used to have a kill switch on their S22s with the Exynos cpus in EU (the only models that are unlockable...Snapdragons are not). i have a hard time believing this tho if they permitted unlocking at all. most likely it was some signed firmware snafu as you say.

Well... I would agree with you when it comes to well known and well used public nude beaches. But truth is that here in Sweden at least there are often oglers, and people just walking up and down the beach proposing sex.

Never experienced that as a tourist at nude beaches in Croatia but then again they were never as crowded as here.

>you're comparing iOS built-in apps to Android 3rd party apps by Google

I'm not comparing them, I'm putting them aside for this comparison, because Apple links a lot of regular apps to the release cycle of the OS while Google doesn't do that. That's a separate issue that isn't relevant for the point I was making.

I'm only talking about features that would have to be part of the OS on iOS as well as on Android. There are very few new features of that sort in iPad OS 16. I'm not getting most of them.

I understand that this may be down to hardware capabilities. But Apple does have some wiggle room when it comes to deciding how to implement any new features and how much work to put into making them less resource intensive.
Sorry, I wasn't complaining about your post specifically, just a general tenor that kind of shits on this work because of an unsolvable problem: as you say there's actually no comprehensive dataset that would make it possible.

I recently watched "We Were Apollo" and was struck by the contrast between the herculean effort to get a man on the moon--where everyone worked together regardless of origin, race, or creed--against the backdrop of desegregation in the 1960s and the rise of counter-culture. National public projects that capture the imagination and provide a sense of combined purpose can't fix all social problems but they can certainly overcome them and shine a brighter path.

There are a lot of plans for international train lines in Europe and some of them are actually being built. If you check the Wikipedia page of the the Spanish rail service[1], you'll see that new connections to France should be completed sometime around 2023. Currently the only high speed link to France is from Barcelona, which makes traveling from Madrid and Spain's Northern coast to Paris more time consuming.

There's also a Helsinki-Tallinn tunnel plan, which is more like in an exploration/planning phase, but that should connect those cities and make them function almost like one. Instead of a two hour ferry ride it would be more like a 30min train ride. Øresund Bridge basically did that to Copenhagen and Malmö.

> their design looks outdated

Define "outdated". It looks similar to literally any other modern UI framework with the exception that it focuses on dashboard/backoffice functionality (almost none of the UI frameworks do)

> doesn't even take into account devices with “tap” screens (elements are too small, tables are not responsive).

Yes, that is maybe a problem. Depending on what exactly you need.

I've yet to see a single UI framework that offers both a consistent set of good dashboard/backoffice elements and a good mobile experience (because it's actually hard to do). And Material is emphatically not a good example.
I find this to be an odd and not useful characterization.

Also, the idea that we can just 'go back' is silly.

Yes, but if you have a two year old iPhone then they give you a $300 credit for trading it in. And you're already paying $95 a month (to cover your two year old phone), so the monthly cost ends up being the same. And the only alternative the salespersons will mention is buying the iPhone outright for $1200. So people think they are getting a deal (when they're actually just financing a phone over two years with an overpriced plan)
