fr lol everybody who's worked in IB knows this. you go look in a VDR and it's like 99% excel files and PDFs. although for smaller businesses it's usually a quickbooks export or whatever, but whenever people need to actually get shit done or do something SAP or Oracle or whatever doesn't do right or takes too long.
Agree, I was hard into proto for awhile and there are parts I still really like but too many pitfalls and ultimately the sdks produced are usually just bad and you need to wrap them again anyway.

Load balancing also a huge pain.

I would like a language in between openapi, proto, and graphql

The graphql schema is the nicest but I don’t always want to deal with everything else. Ideally it would produce beautiful sdks in every language.
Google's "It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search" response probably means you're onto something interesting :)
As far as I understand, the medieval warm period is believed to be an anomaly localized to Europe. So it may not be reflected in data specific to Japan.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to cringe at the lack of self-awareness on the part of the author at the inherent paradox of wanting something highly ranked by google but also quiet, cheap, and slow.

Here's a tip for the blog author. Learn a foreign language. Then search google in that foreign language. You might be surprised. Be the change you want to see.
Yep, that’s perfect.
The anti-semitism (presumably sourced in hatred for left-media-funding) among Indian right-wing internet trolls is so weird.

Historically, India has been one of the few safe-havens for multiple waves of Jews (Bene Israel, Cochin Jews, Portuguese Jews). The populace never saw an issue with enfranchising them (famous Silent actresses [1] or top military generals [2]). Both countries (esp. the Indian institutional right wing) have strong ties to Israel and both countries seem to be hated the same same groups of religious extremists in the middle east.

Even in the US, Indian immigrants seem to be cast into the same Jewish stereotypes of emphasis on STEM education, strong secular-religious identities and being generally discriminated against by Ivy-league admissions processes.

So, I'd assume that the default stance on the Jewish-Indian relationship would be one of mutual understanding; especially among the Indian right wing. On top of that, most Indians in India have never met a Jewish person. There simply isn't enough interaction to allow for real opinions about Jewish people to form.

This makes me wonder if these internet-trolls have all been radicalized by the same fox-news/4chan ecosystem despite both having nothing to do with India at large.

Off topic: Soros openly funds organizations with strong biases. But, idk why he is seen as a representative of the Jewish people. His funding patterns seem to be in-line with what rich-liberal-anglophones fund. It's a pretty diverse mix of western religions and ethnicities. Idk why it is always the Jews among them that tick these trolls off.

If Google purged sites at their own digression to such a degree, then HN would just be complaining about that instead.
Every one of them is traceable to working around some broken hardware or software out there that insists on everything looking like TLS 1.2.

The good news is that TLS 1.3 moves everything possible into encrypted data, so in future versions spectators will not be able to see protocol differences and more compatibility hacks won’t be needed.

It's on by default, and history sync is a different setting than what I described. I discovered that actually in checking the setting to describe it in my other reply, I had it enabled on my personal PC. Although I would swear I disabled it a while back.

I would 1000000% never enable this setting. And I suspect that Goog is pulling a Zuck with "accidentally" re-enabling it and hoping nobody notices.

> Stars use nuclear reactions for energy, you’re alive because of a nuclear reaction. Why are you so quick to throw it out?

Nobody wants to turn off stars. This is a unnecessary derailment.

And we're quick to throw it out because the money needs to go into renewable technology which can be deployed fast and cheap to face the current global crisis.

We do the same thing in the US for more long haul things. Also we ship a lot of intermodal containers this way.

The big issue is speed. Individual trucks moving trailers is insanely fast. Semi's are commonly moving at 110km/h here in the states. The US is highly dependant on JIT shipping so any changes to slow this down would have huge economic impacts (which we saw with covid).

>Nowadays, Mr Joe Blogs writes on Medium, shares on Facebook and potentially has an outdated instagram account with 4 pictures of his passion. All buried down by algorithm to never be found, because his passion "isn't sexy".

From what I've observed, the opposite tends to be true more often than not. Plenty of people have been able to create communities around niche interests because platforms bring something independent blogs never really did - an audience. Joe Blogs probably started a subreddit and facebook group for his passion and gets more people reading his content in a week than likely happened to stumble across his blog in a year.

The mistake they made was having it be closed invites for so long. Facebook butchered Facebook Chat, and my whole friend group was ready to jump ship. Except Google wouldn’t let us, and then Facebook had enough time to get Chat/Messages kind of good enough again, and by the time anyone could get on Google+ no one cared to.
I know I may not be adding much by saying this, but damn, that is a beautiful way to look at things, and you articulated it perfectly.

I think it's deeper than misaligned expectations. Consider this line:

> Google has gotten exceedingly good at organizing everyday life. It
reliably gets me news, recipes...

What I mainly hear on this site and elsewhere is people complaining
about how the news is partisan rubbish, fake, and serves the
"elites". And recipes. Seriously? I had a half dozen people berate me
earlier for suggesting that cooking your own meals should be an
enjoyable part of life.

Nobody wants news and recipes.

Here's the problem.. "The Internet" was military project that got
loose. "The Web" was a solution for research scientists to exchange
papers. That's all. Driven by a massively profitable industry, a
solution looking for a problem expanded in expectations, and took over
the consciousness of generations of an entire society.

"Organising everyday life" is an inadequate appraisal. Most
businesses had to be dragged screaming and kicking online. We still
possess a vague, poorly thought-through ideal that somehow a
connected, "technological" society is a better one, and a thirst for
convenience and speed. But let's be honest, we don't really know what
the net is for. It has no telos or guiding design principle other
than what we overlay on it.

Military tools in the hands of "the people" tend towards insurgency
and revolution. Wasn't The Internet's "killer app" the Arab Spring?
The brightest moment of the Web was in it's formative years, as an
explosion of ordinary speech and new political power. Much since then
has been an reaction to try dampening it, domesticating netizens, or
even putting the genie back in the bottle.

Maybe a reason to be optimistic, excited even, is that we're still in
the infancy of the network. It's still pregnant with unimaginable
possibility.
Good on you for recognizing and seizing the opportunity. My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2014 (same as my mom, in 2001), and there's so much I wish I'd asked them, about their lives and families. I'm especially disappointed about missing out on adult conversations with my mom, as she died when I was 19 when she still thought of me as a kid. Some of my most vivid conversations with my dad were in my late 20s, over a beer or two during one of his visits, but those still feel inadequate.

I've done a lot of genealogical research into my dad's side of the family (I'm eligible for Italian citizenship through my great-grandparents), and it's been really fun finding out little tidbits about his family. But there's so much I wish I could ask him, as it's all fragmentary and big-picture, and lacks context.

I'm so envious of you that you have a recent, focused video record of your father. My sister has a bunch of old VHS tapes that might have my parents on them, but the tapes may have degraded, and, regardless, they're not recent, and even if the tapes are still functional, they'll be of generally poor quality and resolution (and worse, we were cheap and would record everything in EP mode). Neither of my parents liked having their photos taken, so I don't have a lot to work with there either.

So sorry about your dad, but I'm glad you at least got to get a little closer to him before he passed.

> for scalability, this insertion process happens in batches, and the log itself is replicated and partitioned

This is the link's total exposition on this topic, but it is consistent with my reading of the Calvin paper.

If any log partition becomes unavailable, the log in its entirety becomes unavailable until that partition recovers[1].

Anyway, it feels like we’ve wasted enough of each others’ time without making much progress. Might as well leave it there.

[1] ... and every log partition must communicate with every replica, hence NxN (or MxN)

> What exactly are you doing there, in kernel code?

In kernel code?

What you're doing is triggering the guard page over and over if the stack is pushing into new territory.

> Do what exactly? Just reject stack allocations that are larger than the cluster of guard pages? And keep book of past allocations? A lot of that needs to happen at runtime, since the compiler doesn't know the size with VLAs.

Just hit the guard pages. You don't need to know the stack size or have any bookkeeping to do that, you just prod a byte every page_size. And you only need to do that for allocations that are very big. In normal code it's just a single not-taken branch for each VLA.
Flightradar24 is really helpful where I live for determining where a wildfire is at. The fire attack bombers and OV-10s make a very helpful circle right around the fire, when you view the map. If I hear a couple twin-engine aircraft taking off, I usually take a quick break to open the app or the site.

Also it's kind of annoying / alarming how much traffic is not shown due to disabled transponders or other things. Especially when it's dark, and there's a helicopter passing overhead, and the FR map is totally clear in your area...(good time to turn on the scanner radio though)

What do you mean by "scalable without restriction"?

I understand scalability by being able to handle more traffic through adding more nodes to your cluster. But if you want to handle more traffic, adding more replicas to a single Accord replica set won't help. Any two (fast path) quorums must intersect. And that intersection point for two queries is where you need to spend resources to handle both queries.

So - unless I'm missing something here - in order to scale out to be able to handle more traffic, you must shard the data, there's no way around it. Even assuming 0 failures won't help.

And once you shard your data and use multiple Paxos/Raft/EPaxos/Accord/whatever groups, you lose strict serializability across the shards.
I'm usually hesitant to encourage people to buy IoT junk, but EcoBee has nailed this problem.

The "bee" part of the name refers to a ZigBee network that it forms with inexpensive per-room temperature/motion detectors.

It is pin compatible with old school thermostats, and you can add a large number of temperature sensors. In the cases you are referring to, the best bet would be to add a sensor to each of the 2-3 hottest/coldest rooms, then set it to keep everything in range.

This is more comfortable and energy efficient than over cooling/heating, and costs under $500 for a building. It also works fine without a network connection.

You can also check the temperatures of multiple rooms at a glance, and partially close some duct vents accordingly.

Installation of the temperature sensors is easier than hanging a picture. Their batteries last about a year, and are standard/easy to replace.
This is a big part of the problem. The incentives.

There is no blank space to fill with something useful.

Instead everything is filled with SEO driven, ad riddled, bullshit.

And creating something useful is more cost and effort than creating more SEO driven crap.

And even if you do create something useful, you’d then need to focus on SEO in order to compete.

There’s no way this problem isn’t solvable. But google seems to lack any motivation to solve it.
I dont see it as such ... rather, religious groups are too busy praising their dead elders and gods rather than looking forward to the future. Which is unfortunate, as there aint no gods or dead relatives waiting for us in the future. just the misery created by our predecessors.

> first we need to roll this system out on all highways, then everybody needs a BEV

Essentially your complaint seems to be that we don't get a free lunch, but that's never been an option

You have only 3 options: large expensive batteries on every truck, smaller batteries + overhead wires, or some kind of fuel like hydrogen. In all cases you need new vehicles, and in all cases you need new infrastructure to handle charging and/or fuel.

Production of fuel from electricity and it's distribution is always under 40% efficiency. So if you want efficiency, the only question is cost of overhead wires vs cost of larger battery in every truck.

Most of the battery would be spent travelling long distance on large, straight roads, and those are also the easiest roads to electrify.

Also what's with the complaint about energy billing? We can put a 5g connection into every car and make it charge us for heated seats, but measuring energy is a problem?
Lex has an awkward persona. He’s the Jimmy Fallon of smarty pants podcast hosts. I feel cringey trying to listen to either host.
Surely significantly more than 100x. I'd hypothesize 10,000x at minimum from 15 years ago, at least if you measure total bits. Not sure how I could confirm that conjecture though.
Agree. Yet another CUE based app platform that reminds me of KubeVela, while the later makes more sense in terms of overall experience:
1. For users, it's just a single pane of glass app definition, no CUE, no any other creepy language to learn.
2. For extenders/customizers, it's about standard CUE modules and tools, no CRD/controller stuff, just plain templating.
True but by Google own posts about initiatives like Core Web Vital and mobile first these are used as tie-breaking factors not as ranking factors. If you have 2 pages that are judged to have equally relevant content per all of Google’s other content ranking, the one with faster core web vitals will appear first. Pages with amazing Core Web Vitals, but poor content ranking, are not ranking more highly than relevant pages with poor web vitals. Example.com has amazing Core Web Vitals.

Well, I always try to keep in mind the distinction between protobuf the structured encoding and protobuf the code generator. You can use the former without the latter. Considering that the project doesn't even ship a codegen for Rust, you're already doing that. So if there's some more convenient API you'd like, you can just have it. You can also do this with protoc plugins and the official codegen, or you can hand-roll your own protocol parsers which isn't that crazy with such a simple format.
Let me first state that I understand that your goal was not to create an "accessible" palette and you state in your README that the palette is not "particularly suitable for people with colour vision deficiency". But being colorblind myself (deuteranomaly, up to 8% of the male population), I would still like to offer feedback: it is extremely hard for me to distinguish most of the colors in this palette (especially in the light version); more so than with "normal/default" palettes
