I think it's pretty clear semver doesn't really have a place in modern software. Except for Microsoft, no one cares about backwards compatibility, which semver is all about. All software is continually developed, every release contains both new features and bug fixes, which violates semver. The vast majority of software has a meaningless "1." or "0." tacked to the front to try to satisfy semver, until the project gets bored of typing it and just drops it.

I think most software should just have date-based versioning. It fits the development models we actually use far better, and actually communicates useful information to the user, unlike semver. Are you running a kernel from 2016? Might wanna update that.
Was this on the short term?
I just don't think this meshes with any of my experience talking with people who work at places like Google. Your argument keeps being "but Google is bad and what it makes is useless, therefore the code behind it is terrible and made by people who can't think".

Working at places with a lot of tech debt, or where you're creating tech debt knowingly is just the state of the industry at almost every company. I've never met a developer who doesn't see that, let alone "most technical people". This entire thread is full of current and ex-Google employees saying essentially "Yea, this is probably because of tech debt and sprawl". If you deigned to go work at Google some day, it's not as if you'd be able to just untangle all of it with a few bash scripts even if they made you King of Google.

I have no love for Google's products myself, but it's mystifying to me when you let your clear distaste for some of their decisions and priority cloud your view of what they've created and maintain. When was the last time Google Search or Gmail was unreliable for more than an hour? Maybe once in the last 2 years? That doesn't even come close to any objective measurement of "quite poor ... reliability". Even if you and I seemingly don't like their services, it's just willfully blind to say that what they provide isn't useful to millions or billions of people.
You're missing the point. There is no cloud agnosticism and you need to understand the underlying cloud primitives although allegedly k8s isolates you from this.
I wonder sometimes how many adults experience slight auditory hallucinations, especially at night, and don't bother recording them. I live in a pretty busy area with lots of trains and emergency vehicles outside, and when I'm close to sleep but get jolted back awake, I sometimes remember things that don't make any sense.
LGPL is not great for porting, and linux block caching is far from the performance bottleneck if you know what you are doing.

I think we can agree it depends on the use-case. =)
That sounds worse than all the other social networks put together as TikTok needs more addictive content and users to continue the addiction and profit from bad habits and cravings mentioned in other comments. It is no different and is in fact worse.

A dystopia that the many have chosen to believe in who's goal is to only worsen the digital crack cocaine addiction which that is already just as bad and present in society.

We do not need society to regress any further with platforms like TikTok.
What novel problems do you think GPS had to solve?
Great idea! Just a matter of execution details. Stuff like dealing with one of the most powerful rivers on the planet, Rocky Mountains, very long distances, etc. Minor details.
Work for money.
Relume Library 2.0 Launch – Host Your Own Webflow Component Libraries
Your statement is at odds with what I know about water.

Your saturation index is what drives water’s interaction with the surfaces it touches, not just pH. If the index is too high it will deposit what it’s carrying (scale) and if it is too low it will pick up material from the pipe it’s flowing through (corrosive).

These are used in swimming pools, but originally the saturation index was developed by Langelier to protect city pipes from corrosion: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water#Langelier_saturat...

IIRC most cities try to run a high saturation index to intentionally lay down scale that further protects the pipes from corrosion.

It may be true that fluoride isn’t in sufficient quantity to impact the saturation index, but that is distinct from pH.
Yep! And we had to make a decision whether we would focus on our core business of developing great applications for end-users, or spend more time running infra and try to wrap our heads around the mountain of complexity that is k8s. That choice at our size is a no-brainer, although that trade-off might be very different for larger teams.
This is great, until you're locked out of a service that you actually need, and the only password-reset way is to send a reset link to the e-mail account she never uses anymore.
I experienced the same bug today, with several bibliographical entries displaying the same error message. The article in question was the one on deus ex machina.
One option not listed (under "Other options for compressing data in a database") but probably closest to what this solution does under the hood, is to do row-interdependent compression at application level.

That is, while saving rows to the database, pick out every (say) 10th row, and compress it by itself but keep the compression state in memory. Then for the next 9 rows, compress that row based on that dictionary, and a reference to the row it's based on. (For example, in Python's zlib module, you'd use the zdict parameter [1] of compress and decompress.) A bit like keyframes in video compression.

You can potentially get better results this way than a generic solution like the article, because you might have some application knowledge about what rows are likely to be similar to others. But it obviously requires application level code (e.g. fetching a logical row requires fetching two physical rows so you have enough information to decode), and it would be a nightmare if you need to remove or update the rows.

Agreed. Also there has been a tendency to see losing / turning down the iPhone as the pivotal moment but I think it was the years after that which were crucial. They relentlessly pushed x86 on mobile when it was clear there was little or no appetite. If they'd built Arm based SoCs for Qualcomm etc (inc maybe Apple) then it might have been a very different story.
I thing that the average is for generic marketing campaigns, At my work we have between 5-15 ctr on emails, just because the content is noteworthy
Many people. Fathers, mothers, grandparents, other family members, friends, teachers, media, bosses.

I do not know where you intend to go with your thoughts, but if you are holding women solely responsible for the way men behave, again, we will have to simply disagree.
> This could be bad, they could be torturing cats or something, but that wasn't likely.

I find it astonishing that this is the limit of "bad". There are people alive today who were at lynchings in the US as children and cheered them on.

Setting cats on fire by comparison was a harmless past time.
I want to like Stride, but the documentation is so sparse I had a hell of a time getting anything working.

Plus you need to use a PC to develop.

Now I'm thinking Unity assets could be adapted to work with Stride since both use C#. If so, switching from Unity to Stride won't be so bad.
Forcing public libraries to use a workaround to fix a problem Google created isn't an ideal solution.
And from the most recent minutes:

> Bug 805: Add Make conditionals Rejected

> https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=805

> As the behavior described in the desired action hasn't actually been implemented, to our knowledge, and there is insufficient consensus amongst the variants that have been implemented to pick one as the de facto standard this request is being rejected. Should the industry come to a consensus a new bug reflecting that should be filed.

TL;DR: no way forward for adding if/else statements to make for now.

Building a Panel out of e-ink Electronic Shelf Labels
I've never gotten too deep with K8s. It always came across as incredibly complex to maintain with limited managed service support. Whenever I spoke to engineers pushing it, the problems it solved didn't resonate with me as someone whose spent the last 10 years running hundreds of services across thousands of servers.

These days I'm a huge fan of CDK and Pipelines style deployments. I prefer to treat my compute layer as a swappable component which I'll change as and when I need to. I tend to lean towards serverless offerings which take care of the internal scaling details if I can while still giving me a traditional "instance", and if I can't then I'll go for the next best managed offering.

I've yet to see an example where internal tooling doesn't become a mess over time, and K8S requires a ton of work to keep things sensible.
on this note, what is the best tool I can use to start building my own subscribers database and sending email campaings? I've heard many opinions suggesting mailerlite, any thoughts?
You’ve just described a toll road, which are quite popular for highways in the US East.
Cognitive biases exist in a variety of contexts. The phenomenon of saccadic masking doesn't imply the existence of those other biases logically, but TheOtherHobbes makes a pertinent generalisation, imo.
This fits with (not sure the term) the model of our brains constantly doing projection/simulation. Your consciousness is at the abstract level and the brain projects successive levels of detail, then compares to actual input at the lower levels looking for differences to correct the simulation.

In the abstract this is very similar to how a Kalman filter works. There is a prediction component and a correction, with a (possibly time varying) adjustments for how much weight to give to measurements. The equivalent here would be to simply ignore the measurements when the eyes move since the input will be known to be messy, and just rely on the prediction.

This turns out the be a very effective (and in some ways mathematically optimal) way to process sensor input even in human-engineered systems.
Remember that an Apple at the time, which lacked a great many of the Atari's capabilities, was about double that.
> The whole point of Oberon was the Smalltalk ... Mesa/Cedar like experience.

That's not even true if you mean the Oberon OS.

The idea - as described in the referenced HOPL paper - was the focus on the essentials of a language, which from my point of view is still a very valid goal, as you can see by just looking at the success of Go.

Swift, C#, Kotlin are at the other extreme of the spectrum, not too far away from modern C++ or Ada, where the language designers seem to want to integrate everything that anyone could ever want. That makes about as much sense as everyone today thinking they have to drive an SUV, and leave the bicycles or other economical means of transport as "a nice thing to look at" for the "transportation nerds".
This is a very smart strategy. You effectively trained yourself that there was no reward to be had from the behaviour and so broke the habit. Someone should make a browser extension that does this for other sites, essentially allows the masthead and other boring trim to load but removes all of the content.
I care. It's kind of strange if you're against undocumented software but still run on undocumented hardware. I'm hoping the providers of the tools I use can see this too.
many people, nowadays if you disagree with the current president his entire "side" will insult you.

It was a conspiracy theory, according to liberals, to believe that the vaccine would be mandatory and that it would not stop the disease.

Remember people saying that were called crazy not long ago.

It was a conspiracy that russia would invade ukraine according to conservatives until it happened.

Speculation gets you insulted until you are right.

Now if you say there is a recession biden worshippers will assume this is some kind of personal attack.
Fortune favors the brave, but I would say don't quit the day job. Try to 'borrow' 20% to work on your hustle as a hobby project - the company will almost surely get that time back in increased quality and productivity in your day job. I did that 25 years ago, then lucked out by making an initial bootstrap sale that got the ball rolling. My first effort ran for a dozen years, but since then I've been side hustling my side hustle. It's fun to follow your interests, but it's not a good way to have work/life balance.

So much of people's outcome is based on luck, which I got more than my share of. The best advice that I got, however (that you also have to be lucky to take), is to find like minded people and do something with a partner or group.
Things aren't "proper fucked" though. Supply chains were just too slow to recover to meet our demand. Lots of things were overpriced/overvalued. The economy is going to retract as a result. Things will cycle once more, and we can do it all over in another n decade(s).
I'm not suggesting anything except that given two roads in a spherical universe, both going to same hypothetical place, I'd expect the one built for cars to be larger than the one built for bikes due to basic logic.

Your response, and several of its ridiculous peers are just stuffing words into my mouth.

Yes, I am acutely aware that many parts of the US have some shitty bike infrastructure, but in the parts that have good/improving bike infrastructure I still observe a slow uptake of bicyclists. As to the OP's point, we reap what we sow.
What, zero? (GP didn't say anything about using Hashicorp-managed products, they're open source and beer-free to use. Another comment says Hashicorp's platform doesn't even offer Nomad (yet?) anyway.)
Redefining Recession (2008)
Same, we are on ecs and there is a lot of reinventing the wheel
We don't want to address the real issue that a democratic government of 350 million people is slow and ineffective, so we demand that private industry make up for the failings of our government.

I dont think it is unreasonable for the 22 trillion dollar a year, 250 year old institution of the US government to solve the problem of why it is denying welfare to its own citizens.

Or maybe the US government monopoly should be broken up into smaller governments to foster a spirit of competition in the marketplace if it can't meet the needs of its customers.
> It's not too hard to pick up on multiple identities,

you wear one mask with one group, another with a different group. Wouldnt say multiple identities though.

But yeah, the mutual reinforcement is a BIG problem.
TIL, thanks. Looks like there's a corresponding ImageLocality score used by the scheduler: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/scheduling/config/#sche...

It doesn't get all the way to what we want, but it could be used to build a piece of it.
I've done a lot of thinking about this issue, and there's two topics I notice. First, disability has become a status symbol in certain circles. Second, the huge rise in self-diagnosed disability.

On the latter point, these kids are acting out these disabilities with such sincerity and 24/7 consistency that they effectively are disabled for all practical purposes, it's just that the diagnosis might be different than the one they self-diagnose themselves with. I think the TikTok videos are a symptom, what's the cause?
I wonder if you could find this same article about google in 2000-2010 timeframe?
MIT Researchers Created Artificial Synapses 10,000x Faster Than Biological Ones
Given the junk food analogy, things with much higher information density would be like drinking neat olive oil.

I think a more useful thing is to filter news down to only that news which is important rather than merely engaging, and leave engagement for either friends or hobbies with a ratio depending on your personal level of introversion/extroversion.
I have a mixed system of PEX / Copper in my basement since they used that when installing the water softener. The pipes sweat during the summer and this resulted in mold on the PEX pipes. Copper pipes seem to resist it, which wasn't to surprising. I've heard copper top strips are sometimes used on roofs because the run off prevents moss and other things from growing atop the roof.
OP, if I understood your puzzle, then 99 prisoners can answer correctly. Is that right?
More likely bad influences were excessive alcohol, drugs, teenage pregnancies, minor crime, violence. Those are all less frequent then they used to be.
It isn't blocked, just semi-protected so that you can't abuse the article with new accounts.

I'd like to add that this is a common move Wikipedia does for "hot" articles to alleviate some moderation pressure.
Sure, but this does not contradict what I said. I strongly suspect that the bulk of Festool’s revenue comes not from selling tools to pros, but rather from selling pro-level tools amateurs who have have convinced themselves that the having the green tools will somehow improve their woodworking. Add up all the “pros” you know, extrapolate that figure wildly, and it still doesn’t get you close the nearly $500M in revenue that they make every year. IMO.
I havent experienced it being meaningless. I do see this comment often, and I universally encounter it said by conspiracy theorists or their apologists. Ie., those people with unjustified conspiracy narratives born of delusions of paranoia.

The 'theory' that china deliberately manufactured and released covid is a conspiracy theory. I have not seen COVID called one, nor even, the idea that a lab in china was researching it, nor that its release is accidental.

There being a pandemic, that a lab is somewhere researching COVID, that a lab may have accidentally released COVID do not contain any conspiracies.

The phrase is a very clear term of art in my view: a conspiracy theory is a story about how the world works which places implausible conspiracies at the heart of its causal structure; in the manner of movie plots; and presents a paranoid style of reasoning in which major events, and their distal effects, are the deliberate decisions of a small number of people.

Conspiracy theories, and theorists, are by definition engaged in an epistemic vice; a pseudoscientific activity of explanation; a kind of intellectualised schizoprehnia.
Thanks for your insights! One question regarding the approach to hosting stateful components you describe last:

what’s the difference between doing this as single node pools vs pod constraints like anti affinity?
The vast majority of those claiming to have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) on TikTok do not need professional evaluation. They're teenagers behaving like teenagers. They're experimenting with different identities to see which one fits. They'll move on.

"Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a <i>rare condition</i> in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in—and alternately take control of—an individual."[0]

Compared to Amazon? Yes, they are.
I see your edit - fair point, analyticity does make complex functions much more well-behaved than their real counterparts. Still, this isn't a death knell like you previously claimed.

Let's put up a bet. I win the bet if I provide a polynomial approximation of f'(x), R[f(x)], bounded by a maximum of 5% error, on the interval (-1, 1), by November 1st, 2022. If I fail to, or resign by then, you win.

If I win, you agree to silence yourself for 1 year, regarding the split-complex and dual numbers, no longer touting them as a panacea.

If I lose, I'll agree to make a YouTube video extolling the virtues of a mathematical subject of your choice, such as these types of numbers.
> My suspicion is this is all wallstreet's shenanigans. There is a growing labor rights movement and this climate makes it hard to pass any laws that support the movement. "Minimum wage caused low profits and an unrecoverable bear market" is the sentiment they want to spread (by they I mean the market makers and investment bankers of wallstreet).

Do you have any evidence from that? Personally, I'm pro-union, etc.; but what you wrote sounds like a bias-affirming conspiracy theory.
I drove past this on the 303 Phoenix bypass a few weeks ago. I figured out immediately what it was, no signs required.

Great for Arizona! Great to manufacture more chips in the US.

I don’t expect global supply chains to continue to exist in their current form when the US loses reserve currency status and paying for the US Navy to ensure the safety of global ship traffic ceases. As a US tax payer, it infuriates me to have military bases in so many countries, but on the other hand our Navy has clear value, at least in my opinion.
No, it's complete. I was drinking 4-5 cups of coffee a day and my brain was a cluttered mess. Now it's just mildly cluttered.
Winamp releases a new version 5.9 RC1 that supports Windows 11
I think it has more to do with the content itself, and the elasticity and adaptability of neural networks. There is no "up" or "down" with inputs. I learned this when working with a machine vision problem. A model will adapt to the orientation or format of a given input. The orientation itself is never a variable, the network simply doesn't care and adapts to it. If you train a model to recognize input in a given orientation, any other orientation will give a high error rate. If you train the model with _every_ orientation, it will be able to classify inputs that are upside down, sideways, mirrored, etc., all relative to the original orientation.

I am wondering, did you ever look at tuning MALLOC_ARENA_MAX? This sort of constant consumption of memory is fairly well aligned to the default tuning of MALLOC_ARENA_MAX, which is 8 * nproc.

We've just tuned it for a java-based app which was also stuck in OOMkill hell, and this has completely resolved the situation (MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2).
Correction: The first official distro internally was "grhat." It was born out of need. We used LDAP+kerberos for auth and our homedirs mounted on first login. This had all kinds of fun problems (looking at you, nscd!) but worked well enough most of the time. Goobuntu came a couple years later. In the in between, lots of people ran their own installed version and we worked together to get things working (even Slackware).
"Declaring the economy in or out if recession does not help anyone outside of propagandists and journalists."

Correct. This is exactly why the people who are altering the definition are entirely propagandists (sometimes known as politicians) and journalists. In this case, they work in unison because they happen to be on the same team at the moment, so journalists are hoping and begging the government to change the definition so that it provides them sufficient cover so that they don't have to write on their front pages that the economy entered into a recession, which is obviously bad for the cause. It's the tacit "Help me help you!" situation. Their approach is that if the government says it, by journalists' standards (for the moment, of course) that's good enough by itself to validate it. Voila!

This is all stupid anyway. Call it anything you want at anytime, it doesn't change reality.
