> Someone gets seriously injured. Has surgery, lives! Later has complications. Needs more extensive treatment. Lives! Later later has even more complications, dies.

> Is the moral of that story "never interfere" to you?

That is the moral most doctors tend to take from it, yes.

You want to consider what you're gaining from the first surgery. If you're 20 years old, steps two and three are unlikely to occur (not in any way related to the initial surgery), and you're gaining a lot. If you're 80 years old and in poor health, you just described a way of making your own life worse while pissing away most of your savings.
I think they are going to mandate 2FA soon.
arch used to have an installer. it didn't work for everyone, and caused a lot of complaining. turned out most people could do the steps themselves.

it has an installer again. maybe the userbase will change.
You wont look like a bag of bones unless you start to literally starve yourself into underweight levels, like BMI less than 17. Healthy weight people at around BMI 22 don't look like bags of bones, they either have significant amounts of muscle or fat, that is roughly the level where most athletes are so you either have that amount of muscle or the equivalent in fat or somewhere in between.
The best way to change a career trajectory is with a job.

Finding a job in backend will be more work than studying, but studying won't change that because finding a job is a matter of people you know + people you meet and you will still have zero work experience in backend.

Good luck.
> The costs of flying an airplane isn't proportional to its fuel usage. The faster an aircraft is, the more flights it can perform per day.

It is indeed not proportional, but not in the way you are thinking. Drag (and ~fuel consumption) scales with velocity squared, so a plane flying twice at fast (and neglecting any time at the airport, which would make the argument even worse) would use four times as much fuel. I.e., even if twice the amount of passengers would be served, it would be done for four times the fuel consumption and four times the carbon emissions (or twice the fuel consumption per trip).
Foot dragging is never a valid excuse.
I think the best part is that if you're willing to go all in on RLS for your authorization, you can do away with needing a backend for your typical crud operations and use their functions for things like webhooks, or the occasional endpoint for more complicated operations.

Another Debian testing user reporting in. I think I’ve reinstalled once or twice in a decade.
Wow, this is a pretty cool feature. Looks similar to Ansible tags.

If you happen to be unlucky enough to need Docker for LAMP/LEMP stacks, Lando is a neat open-source util one level of abstraction above Docker Compose: https://lando.dev/

Like with `lando init` and then `lando start`, it'll fetch a LEMP "recipe" (say, for Wordpress or Drupal), configure all the Docker containers for you, set up all the networking between them, get PHP xdebug and such working automatically, and leave you with an IP and port to have your app ready at. It supports a bunch of other common services too, like redis, memcached, varnish, postgres, mongo, tomcat, elasticsearch, solr, and only very rarely do you need to drop down to editing raw docker compose or config files.

Having had to use the Docker ecosystem for a few years, Lando made my life way easier. Although these days I just tend to avoid Docker altogether whenever possible (opting for simpler/more abstracted stacks, often maintained by a vendor like Vercel, Netlify, or Gatsby).
I would be very surprised if pacman -Syu worked after three years of no upgrades.

That's generally not supported and will require manual interactions.
No, it is not booting up very fast, but it is still ok as I usually don't reboot that often. I remember one severe increase in the user login duration, and this was caused by the high number of files in a temp folder which Disk Cleanup somehow did not delete.

Manually deleting those solved this issue, and over the years, I have only used the standard tools included in Windows to maintain the system. No tuning or cleaning tools that defrag the registry, download some RAM or do some other magic.
Part of that is because cargo usually runs on old and inefficient planes, so they really benefit from “intermediate stop operations”. Carrying all that extra fuel for a direct long-haul adds 10-15% in fuel costs.
How often did the upgrade process broke? I've been using it for a few years and it broke a few times... but overall very happy.
I haven't heard of cybernetics being a Google term before

I also see where you're coming from. I think since the concepts of cybernetics have been swallowed up by the modern world, "modernism" might be slightly more appropriate. Perhaps a new term is needed at this point too

Some of those weird manifests you described have been compounding, too. At an extreme, there was the Unabomber, whose manifesto was anti-industrialization. One of his targets, David Gelernter, was a proponent of technology encroaching on our lives (almost to a hyper-cybernetic extreme, particularly in his book Mirror Worlds where he describes a then-future where everything and everyone had a real existence, but also a digital one too. The digital one would make it easier to monitor and control things that would manifest positively in the real world)
Interesting stats, thanks for sharing!
This is pretty slick. I may check it out in the future. Offset pagination is a pain, especially with Postgres. I wrote a proof of concept for cursor pagination [0] for Rails apps that use UUID primary keys, but have yet to implement it or something like it.

Also a rolling release, I've used the same openSUSE Tumbleweed install for 4 years. The benefit is that if something breaks, I just reboot and rollback, and wait for a few days until they fix it. I've never had to worry about tinkering with failure due to update.
The history was more complex. There are Syrian Christians (600AD), Catholics (1500), Anglican Protestants (1800) and more recently, evangelical Christians. Each group is linguistically and culturally distinct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_India

Mangalorean Catholics for instance are mostly Saraswat Brahmins who converted around 1700s

Maybe it's been discussed before but since it's a VC backed company, what's their business model? They raised a ton of money. How do they plan on getting that back?
So to recall the above, had you blogged about this, wrote in your journal, or just queried your damn memory??
i am in favor of gatekeeping out ppl who are completely unwilling to go read the extremely helpful and well maintained wiki. it helps maintain a better atmosphere and keeps the forums clean(er) of the same 10 noob questions that everyone asks without looking for prior responses.
I only spot checked a few files but it looked more like C then idiomatic C++.

I recall working on early games in C++ where a lot of the conveniences of the language were used like local variables but the form was more like C.
The current glibc version broke Easy AntiCheat support for Proton games, but that's the only break of note in recent memory, and it only affects people playing multiplayer games on Linux, which is a minority (multiplayer gamers) of a minority (Linux gamers) of a minority (Linux users).
That's a great take on policing!
It seems like the query planner could perform this optimization, but also it seems like the index could maintain cardinality data to avoid requiring a scan/offset of ids.

If the index had cardinality metadata, it could jump directly to the leaf node containing the first row in the result set.
What? You do absolutely need a helmet at those speeds. Falling from a Segway is terrifying.

Where I live electric scooters aren't allowed to go faster than that anyway and head-injuries has skyrocketed.

Add to that that a Segway is even worse than a scooter for safety since they are much higher.
GB is not "more neutral".

Great Britain is the name of the post 1707 Union of England and Scotland. It's not neutral if you are a member of the Unionist community in Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom is the name used by the country at the UN but is, of course, not neutral if one is a member of the Nationalist community in Northern Ireland.

No one uses .co.gb domains.
I love the concept of Supabase. The Firebase model is powerful but gated. For example, I recently had a project exceed FB's quota of functions- you can't deploy more than 60 endpoints in a minute which is a nightmare for CI pipelines which redeploy the entire app [0].

We recently tried Supabase on a "frontier" project, and found that it wasn't quite mature enough for production use in our case. Intermittent network errors and lack of an up-to-date status page hampered productivity a bit. These API changes seem like steps in the right direction.

Eelco Dolstra – The Evolution of Nix
It could! We need to invest in developing better treatments for oral pathogens like P. gingivalis. Gum disease is way too pervasive (over half of US adults have it), and yet we still treat it mechanically with manual cleanings. Moving towards using targeted therapies and rebalancing the oral microbiome is a much more effective (and ultimately affordable!) path forward. My company is focused on helping people improve their oral microbiome health, so developments like this are super exciting.
I’ve been running Debian stable for about 10 years and reinstalling every so often. How do you run a partial upgrade on testing? Is it usable as a daily driver?
Yeah. “Cultural fit” is de facto discrimination, but you have absolutely no chance to prove it unless they haven’t been told by their lawyers not be stupid enough to put it in writing.
So you have 7 photos, only 4 of them clearly confirm what you want to say, 1 likely contradicting it, and you're happy to take this as a universal? I also think your analogy doesn't hold for another reason. Look at the last study.

This study is intentionally juking their numbers. They "learned" from their first study and removed every single sample that contradicted what they want to 'prove', magnified those that confirmed it, and even under this form of "science" - they still failed to show statistical significance for multiple categories.

It'd be like noticing there were far "dark" swans in Eastland and so going out of your way to make sure in your next safari you limit yourself to Westland. If you genuinely believed all swans were white, and wanted to test that hypothesis, you'd have done the exact opposite. There is only one conclusion to make.
That's no longer the case. Lambdas have fantastic applications to more complex use cases, so better debugging capabilities are now necessary.
your volume example is an anti-pattern in regard to something like the 12 factor app. you're conditionally changing and setting the volumes based on an environment your in? your code and service is gonna be busted. how would you even know if anything worked in prod if it's not reproducible in dev since # if dev then volume xyz else volume abc #
I'm not sure why laws about protected classes would be directly relevant in the case described in the top-level comment here, which is a manager who "was pretty much dismissive of everything anyone of a lower caste did / wouldn't communicate with them effectively." That just sounds like an ordinary problem with basic job performance. Surely most company policies would have ways of handling employees who are just blatantly obstinate and hostile towards other employees regardless of why they decide to act that way.
Uhh.. what?! I’ve seen some crazy takes on here but this one is definitely new and takes the top spot.
Could you elaborate?

It's not going to affect the 10m+ gas-fired furnaces, water heaters, ovens or stoves, or any of the chemical industry that use 85% of the gas. It's not going to replace even half of the gas-fired power plants that use the remaining 15%. So why is it smart, obvious, or very negative for Putin?
I find it endlessly impressive how people can hold two perfectly opposing viewpoints and never even notice any contradiction. Good reminder to do an occasional review of ideas one considers obvious.
But you do understand that owning a desktop does not preclude also owning a laptop, right?

> Find out what those things are, and deal with them.

That's up there with "just be more happy" (for depression), "just exercise," "just eat less food" (for obesity) in terms of being entirely unconstructive.

Yes, chronic procrastination is an avoidance technique but "just do it" isn't actually an effective strategy to overcoming it.

Here's a video that people suffering from this may actually find helpful:

Buckminster Fuller never actually made anything useful and nuclear power changes the end of this whole chain of reasoning.

Oil companies spent decades convincing "environmentalists" that nuclear power is more dangerous than oil so they could keep selling the oil off while it lasts.

So now we're cooking the atmosphere, way before we've run out of fossil fuels, and Buckminster Fuller's work is mostly a set of fun ideas to think about while high.
> except Apple, because its hardware is mostly neutral

Yeah, search on "hire to fire", for more info on this. If your team is big enough, at a big enough company, you've probably got a target for attrition. If you don't have enough people with poor performance naturally, then you've got to do something to hit your numbers...
It's useful to keep in mind that part of the premise of SQLite is to mitigate the need to carefully design query patterns; famously, SQLite promotes the fact that the N+1 query pattern tends to work fine (again, because you have ultra-low latency to your database).

So, yes, in an n-tier database architecture, 80% of your optimization work might go into meticulously minimizing your query load with better-designed queries. The point is: it doesn't have to be that way.

The more important thing I think is, again, thinking separately about reads and writes.

The issue is most apparent in edge-optimized applications, almost all of which are overwhelmingly read-heavy. You've got a (say) 100ms budget for the whole request, and "edge-optimized" with traditional n-tier databases practically implies that your database isn't always in the same data center as your app, so you can eat that budget up real, real quick going back and forth with Postgres. Even inside a database, you can be looking at a couple milliseconds per database hit, which adds up as you do multiple queries.

SQLite with replication is a nice solution for that problem. Writes get handled roughly the way they would with Postgres, serialized into a single write master; reads get satisfied instantaneously from NVMe.
Lol. I think it'd have to be "Scotsperson" or "Scotshuman" or "Scotsfolk" - the X is usually reserved for a vowel that indicates masculine or feminine, like the super popular "latinx" that's totally used by more than just rich white liberals.
are you a frontend dev?
This is exactly why we aim for consistent and standard code, even if n specific implementations or different patterns might be a better local fit.
I curated a huge .OPML file that I've been using for a decade now with no problems. I cherry picked the RSS feeds by first visiting the blog, then hunting for the feed either by using an addon or using Firefox's (now defunct) RSS feed button. Currently there's 500 blogs added. I avoided feeds which were mere summaries of the blog's post, and contained the full post so I could read it entirely. No ADs. No tracking. No sidebar distractions, just pure information.
> with Rails I have to introduce React

Do you know about Hotwire? It's Rail's html over the wire solution and seems comparable to Blazor.
No, that's not what he's saying. Broadcast TV & radio is human-generated, audio and video, and not immersive. It's several steps behind the trend he's predicting. And they are also not equivalent in terms of getting user engagement and attention, which is why those industries have shrunk so much.
You're exactly right, and the Wine project agrees.

> That said, Wine can be thought of as a Windows emulator in much the same way that Windows Vista can be thought of as a Windows XP emulator: both allow you to run the same applications by translating system calls in much the same way. Setting Wine to mimic Windows XP is not much different from setting Vista to launch an application in XP compatibility mode.

> [...]

> "Wine is not just an emulator" is more accurate. Thinking of Wine as just an emulator is really forgetting about the other things it is. Wine's "emulator" is really just a binary loader that allows Windows applications to interface with the Wine API replacement.
In the UK, class and ethnicity and accent intersect to create some similarly “invisible to HR” discrimination situations between people who would otherwise be lumped together as white.
Hell ya, I hope this becomes the new standard! Thank you so much to whoever pushed this, steps like this are going to pay dividends down the line as we bolster supply chain security in other ways.

I do hope that, eventually, it will be mandatory for all publishing.

You can't ignore matters of degree. It does sound similar, but just by reducing the content chunk length to ~20 secs, they've dramatically improved the algorithmic manipulation and ad insertion (from their point of view), making it all far more effective.

In the old model people left the tv droning in the background, in the new model, people are riveted by their phones (with 2nd and 3rd screens (and radio (and billboards)) droning in the background).

You are definitely right. Serverless is much more than 5 years before
Well if you discriminate say based on race or gender, you’re fired. As people know they therefore can’t do this, they need to keep their feelings to themselves and deal with it.

The GP said:
> there is no question that a person who refuses to work with coworkers based on lower caste does not belong in any workplace with lower caste workers

Which I read as separate castes if they will discriminate. That’s like saying separate race or gender if someone will discriminate. That’s currently not how it works for other protected classes.
There’s something fishy going on.
I get why you shouldn't discriminate against things you can't change, but I am wondering why there shouldn't also be things you can't discriminate based on that you CAN change.

Religion is a good example of one... people can and do change religions, but we still shouldn't discriminate based on it. There are other examples as well of things that people can change that shouldn't be discriminated based on.

Some more data on Google PD: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scylladb/diskplorer/master...

Very odd - notice how the latency is high when the read IOPS are low. When the read IOPS climb, 95th percentile latency drops.

Looks like there is a constant rate of high latency requests, and when the read IOPS climb, that constant rate moves to a higher quantile. I'd inspect the raw results but they're quite big: https://github.com/scylladb/diskplorer/blob/master/latency-m...

I'm continuously shocked at how much bad ActiveRecord code there is lying around given that it's so easy to just look at the SQL it generates and be like "yeah this looks reasonable".

WHY SPONGEBOB WHY!?! Why do you pass around your relations making all of ActiveRecord part of your external API? It's so hard to do stupid things with AR if you pretend that AR objects can't leave the scope they were fetched in.
My install has been alive since 2014. I've never had the upgrade process outright break. One in a while it requires some manual intervention like holding something back, or ignoring some package while upgrading. The only really "big" problem was when i switched from Nvidia to AMD and had to boot from a usb to restore the video drivers after failing to completely configure them.

This install has moved 4 disks in this time. Never a reinstall, just an rsync a a new fstab.
