Inter galactic space not being empty makes lot of sense. After all everything that is matter(stars etc.) had to come from somewhere.

If universe is expanding is it getting thinner? That is same amount of matter is spreading over larger space. Thus wouldn't the refraction index be higher on average when observing the path from really old objects?
That's fair, but specifically we're talking about Apple's headquarters here -- most of the people involved are likely high earning engineers.
Is this something like Firecracker ?
> The SQLite documentation literally says use Postgres and not it for networked use cases

> https://www.sqlite.org/useovernet.html

It's not what this page says. This page suggests PostgreSQL if accessing the SQLite file from the application would induce a network connection (because of a network filesystem). Not if the application is accessed over the network.

Using SQLite for a network service when the app runs on the same machine as the SQLite file is perfectly fine.

> (unless you use WAL or rollback, in which case why not just use Postgres?)

Again. WAL / rollback is how SQLite works by default. The page does not suggest using WAL, it suggests using WAL, "but do all reads and writes from processes on the same machine that stores the database file", is you use a networked FS. And yes, in this case, you might as well use PostgreSQL indeed.

> In fact, I’d argue there’s no networked use case in which SQLite is cheaper, easier to deploy, maintain or run than Postgres.

I disagree. I now use SQLite whenever I can for low traffic services, unless the app developers strongly advise something else.I'd say there's no reason to bother with a client/server database like PostgreSQL / MariaDB / MySQL if you can help it. It's one less database to administer, one less user and password to create and manage, and the SQLite file is saved using my regular backup routine. It works great and it's less work for me. You also get to use the database engine with probably the most extensive and comprehensive test suite in the world , by far[1]. It is probably more robust than anything else. SQLite is probably capable of handling high traffic too, especially if the majority of accesses are reads and there are only a few writes.

Of course, Postgres is a really good choice too and you can't really be wrong when choosing it. It's very robust and works very well too, and does not have loosy typing.

I'm sure it will be fine, though, as now most people have received vaccines that prevent them from getting covid and we now know that there are no long-term neurological symptoms from infections.

Either that or Apple is significantly risking their staff's health and mental faculties for corporate policy.

I guess we'll find out.

China's zero-covid strategy is starting to make a lot more sense to me after seeing long covid make a lot of my triple-vaccinated friends stupid for months post infection.
The best way in 2022, sadly, if you have little clout, is to create a public outcry and potential PR disaster. See it every day on Twitter.
Isn't SMB not recommended because it can lead to corrupted database? Or is there a setting I disabled somewhere in my smbd.conf that I should re-enable (oplocks maybe?? )?

Unless perhaps they're a great friend for many years first (for which the question is the wrong one) they're not going to be interested in co-founding any random company with you.

I couldn’t possibly care less what does or doesn’t happen to Apple. I’m just saying that “I won’t work at Apple!” hardly has any impact on Apple and thus on its decisionmaking.
And if yes, it's still a use case of SQLite if there are not too many (concurrent) writes. And "too many" might actually be a large number.
I guess hybrid is the one that works for me too. I take some time to get to know people. A fully remote job makes this hard especially if any kind of spontaneous stuff is missing. I've not done any hybrid or fully remote job but have had to take fully remote courses in my college and that semester was pretty depressing. I'm in a new country too so the overall feeling of loneliness can be a real bummer
You can absolutely choose Linux for strictly practical reasons - if you do serverside or embedded programming choosing anything else is counterproductive. But for desktop programming Linux is a struggle.

This is interesting. I wonder if some part of the result may echo e.g. a functional interface between big-picture (low-frequency) and little-picture (higher-frequency) processing. For example, planning in the measure-twice cut-once style, which would fold in (what would otherwise become) distractions from the start. The bigger-picture focus would tend to lower the number of overall processing steps in that way, at a guess...
It is all COM, all those marketing names only reflect a set of interfaces, using .NET metadata instead of TLB files and processes being bound to an App Container.

Win32 is stable indeed, raw Win32 is stuck in Windows XP API surface, most stuff that came afterwards is based on COM.

If you are an engineer, you'll just keep shipping and learn nothing and get paid peanuts while being told you're having the best time of your life working 16 hour days with no life. This is something I dont advise most people. If you live in a place like SF or NYC, unless you're a founder or in the first 5-10 employees, having significant equity, joining a well established company will make you a lot more money and you can still pursue your passions on the side.
The tradition is a bit older.

We also translate a lot of books, even though the profit margins aren't that big.

The main source of government-critical information during the Communist era were the radio transmitters (RFE, Czech broadcast of the BBC, Voice of America) which were hardest to stop. Those stations broadcast in Czech and Slovak. Anything that had to cross a physical customs point (movies, books) was heavily censored.
And that is as it should be (except the blaming for issues you raised).

The business should be able to choose what the priorities are. The business does not exist to produce beautiful code.

If a business wilfully disregards security or stability risks that they were informed of, and they get bitten, then they will almost certainly end up paying more to fix in resource and engineering time. But that's the trade off they chose to make.

If a business plays the blame game here, it's simply time to find another job. They are not going to be a good place to work at all.
I no longer even live close to a big city anymore. Companies that require office time, especially tech companies, don't pay anywhere enough to dictate my life. Not even Apple.
Has anyone seen rqlite? Someone slapped a raft layer on top of sqlite statements.

I hate to be rude, but you sound extremely out of touch. I grew up in Sydney, Australia, which is so horizontally large that there have been suggestions to [break it up into three separate cities](https://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/news/breaking-sydne...).

I lived in a bad area, roughly 1.5 hours from the CBD (downtown) and the most run-down, cramped houses are selling for $900k USD. Much more if you want somewhere near public transport or in an area that is actually nice (read: not terrible) to live in. These days it's barely affordable to live 3 hours commute away from the city.

I realise that HN attracts people who are Silicon Valley engineers, but please try to not be so blinded by your financial privilege.

I find discussions and calls happen organically on Slack. I'll often get a message "I'm stuck on this bug, can we huddle?" then we open a voice chat and screen share our way through the problem

Strangely, I have far more unscheduled discussions about real work than I do when I go into the office

When I go into the office we eat lunch together, we chat about non-work related things. It's fun but they are also the days where I get the least done, and where I feel the least bonding with my colleagues

I feel closest with my colleagues and friends when we have a video or voice call and work hard to solve real problems together. There's a shared sense of achievement

I go into the office once a fortnight to pick up shared lunch that we eat together. Sometimes I'll arrange a work-from-Cafe morning where we find a great coffee shop and take our laptops for the morning

On a similar note, Azure only supports U2F with yubikey on select Windows / macOS environments, but Firefox ESR on Debian is not supported at all. Every other service I use supports U2F just fine on Linux, but Microsoft wants Linux users to live slightly more insecure.
Remote is real life. I'm so confused by these claims of poor productivety among employees. Why aren't you talking to your problem employees about them not carrying water then? It seems like its better to figure out how to get engagement from remote work than to do all the inefficiencies of working from the office. For one suddenly you have to build a new office building versus using peoples homes, that costs CO2 in construction and maintenance. Then you have to heat and or cool that building as well as your home, that costs more CO2. Then there is the going to the office from your home, that also costs CO2.

If you are in biotech, all the more reason your company should be focused on limiting its harm to the ecology of the planet as much as it can, and only keep employees whose job can't happen remotely onsite.
The original 68k (used in the original 1984 Mac) was funky: it had a fully 32-bit instruction set and 32-bit registers, but 16-bit internal and external data buses and a 16-bit ALU. And a 24-bit address bus, because reasons?

Later variants of the 68k family were fully 32-bit internally, but exactly what was exposed externally varied by processor and Mac model. And 24-bit addressing remained a thing in the Macintosh system software up until System 7-- this capped RAM at 8 MB even if the CPU could handle more.

But Apple never really had the same sort of 16-bit/32-bit transition that Microsoft and Intel did. The 68k-to-PPC shift is kind of analogous (and happened at around the same time as Microsoft was going fully 32-bit), but backwards compatibility there was purely based around software emulation-- same basic approach as Apple's PPC-to-x86 and x64-to-ARM transitions, as opposed to Intel's "just make the new processor a superset of the old one" approach.
People literally got sick of going to the office. It's why working from home became a thing in the first place. I have no wish to see diseased ridden coworkers.
Gnome's insistence on using web pages for local configuration settings is the dumbest shit ever. It's built on top of a cross platform GUI library but instead of leveraging that they came up with a janky system using a browser extension where you're never 100% sure you're safe from an exploit.
I wrote a game for my masters thesis in 2008. I wrote it in C++ and targeted Linux. Recently i tried to run it and not only binaries didn't work (that's a given), but even making it compile was a struggle cause I used some gui libraries that were abandoned and there was no version working with modern libc. It was easier to port the game to windows than to make it compile on Linux again...

So many things. The massive clear area around your receiver. Scattering induced by weather means you still don't have 100% capacity factor. With only radiative cooling available, cooling will take up as much space as the panels and make everything heavier. The atmosphere doesn't absorb light uniformly. Maintenance. You're comparing fixed panels at mid latitudes to rotating panels. Launch costs are still 10x the cost of a panel. UV and ionizing radiation will destroy your panels sooner. And a space borne panel will probably never reach net energy payback even before you add your laser boondoggle.

You're better off just burning the methane.
I'd contest the sophisticated characterisation. Phishing activity targeting banking has been doing this for ages and it's been common against office365 accounts for a long time as well. And it's plainly obvious to common sense that the adversary can just proxy the verification code check in a phishing attack.

Some how-stuff-is-made videos do get wide play despite the algorithmic silos. The ones that do best are the ones that are rather peaceful & mesmerizing. That grabs the people interested in the technical aspects, the people who get ASMR tingles easily, and the people who fall into the /r/oddlysatisfying crowd. Those 3 groups often make for a large audience.
We’ll see in 2038 I guess.
Oh, I live in, ahem, suburban hell to be sure. I’m just in a much smaller and less strained part of the world now, in Europe.

The last part - missing out on important decisions - is it a geographical one - it's a hierarchy issue. Decisions about you will get made "above you" that you suddenly have no input into.

Until we chnage the decision making process (ie more democracy) in companies we won't have input into the truly important decisions

That's really interesting. We have the opposite experience. We use Google Meet and the "collaborator" mode? (Where someone can join from their device without video or audio). People use the hand raise feature even on the in-person side, and it feels like everyone gets a voice. We also don't have many people in these meetings (5 max)

> naughtily do house chores when you technically should be working

In the office I sometimes sat staring at a screen, achieving nothing except deflating my mood. At home I will go and hang the washing, and come back feeling a little boosted and make far more progress with whatever problem I had. At the office I would often take a walk. If someone thought that was "naughty" I would be seriously concerned about their effect on the company
There's also Nuclear winter to contend with. 100 or more cities being destroyed throwing dust and soot into the air is enough to lead to problems with food production, leading to widespread famine. Still not enough to eliminate human life entirely, but severely unpleasant to undergo. For that, you'd need up look into a significantly larger explosion, enough to crack the Earth's crust and unbalance its orbit. It might be easier to deorbit the moon and crash it into the Earth.
ASML has 32000 employees. Lithography machines are their only product. They have been working on EUV for decades. They're the only company currently able to make it today. They and Nikon are the only companies currently able to make previous gen machines.

That's a typical packaging bug. Libraries should be bundled in the build or specified as a runtime dependency.

> It also fails to read your profile from Ubuntu 20 so you lose all of your settings, passwords, plugins, etc... It also wants to save files in some wierdass directory buried way deep in the /run filesystem. System integration also breaks, so if a Gnome app tries to open a link to a website the process silently fails.

All of this sucks and the user experience here needs a ton of work. I get the technical issues with co-mingling sandboxed and unsandboxed state, but there needs to be at least user-friendly options to migrate or share state with the sandbox.

A replacement for the xdg-open/xdg-mime/gio unholy trinity that offers runtime extension points for sandboxes might be nice. Maybe I could write a prototype service.
Wasn't it unclear for most of the cold war how many nukes were even in play? As far as I understand the U.S. early on overbuilt nukes, assuming the soviets had a lot more of them at the time when they had hardly any at all. Then the soviets had to play catch up with the americans as you state, but once again it was all for nothing in the end for those nukes that were built, sat idle in silos, then decommissioned without seeing any use at all. If you have nukes for ten targets that would probably be enough to make a nation nonfunctional. Once the enemy launches their nukes, you launch yours and the world ends in 7 minutes. I can't imagine any nation would rise from the ashes having its 10 largest population centers annihilated. Personally I think the U.S. MAD plans of the 1950s-60s are absolutely horrific. "Mr. Secretary, I hope you don't have any friends or relations in Albania, because we're just going to have to wipe it out." The russians were not thinking along the same terms as the americans in terms of destruction.
Software Is in Decline – Jonathan Blow
An easy way I usually solve this with most MongoDB deployments is to have a couple data-serving nodes per shard that have local NVME drives and then have a hidden secondary that just uses an EBS volume with point-in-time backups.

Your write load is already split up per-shard in this scenario, so you can horizontally scale out or increase IOPS of the EBS volumes to scale. And you can recover from the hidden secondaries if needed.

And no fancy code written! :)
