In that case, Postgres new-primary would just be detached and will not stream/pull additional new data from the old-primary after promotion. You should also make sure to divert all traffic to the new-primary.

This problem happens in AWS RDS as well: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_...

Actually, this might be much simpler with Cloudflare tunnels. So it failover scenario would be something like this:

1. Primary and Hot standby are active. CF tunnels are routing all traffic to primary.

2. Primary health check fails, use CF health alerts to promote Hot standby to primary (we'll call this new-primary).

3. Postgres promotion completes and new primary starts receiving traffic on CF tunnels automatically.

4. No traffic goes to old-primary. Backup data and use old-primary as a new hotstandby, configure replication again from new-primary.

Even better strategy would be to use Hot Stanby as read-only so traffic is split dynamically depending on write or read needs by the app. Take a look at StackOverflow infra architecture: https://stackexchange.com/performance

Ironically: Donald Trump.

Obama's tenure as President was marked by a distinct attempt to meet the GOP as peers. It seems as though he was, mostly, a pretty strong believer (philosophically) in co-governance by all representatives of the people of the US in the federal government. "Reach across the aisle" was a frequently-used phrase at that time. And if he unilaterally pardoned people legally convicted of marijuana offenses without Congress first changing the law, what kind of message would that send about the nature of executive power in the United States of America?

His political peers responded by refusing to consider a Supreme Court nomination; supporting and nominating Donald Trump, whom voters then elected; and seating three Supreme Court justices, who then overturned precedent that had protected the reproductive rights of a generation and a half of Americans. Their party platform in 2020 was "That the Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda" with no other changes from the 2016 platform. No mention of policy; no mention of Congress.

The modern Democratic party is under no illusions that reaching across the aisle will benefit them and is now in the tit-for-tat phase of the two-party prisoner's dilemma. If this move wins Biden's party votes going into the midterms, then forget Congress. If Congress wants a say in how the country is governed, they can get their act together and do the few structural changes that would un-deadlock the Senate and allow laws to be passed.

I don't know if this is a strategy that would have worked during Obama's administration. I don't think Obama's strategies work in this era, though.

>fails to consider that the editor was not critiquing his artistic notions but rather just crossing off something that both of them agreed was bad

That's because the editors they worked with, and others he discussed such things, had a pattern to cross off specific things (regardless of whether both author and editor agreed they were bad), and those "crossing offs" revealed not just an editorial hand, but also an underlying ethics/ideology behind what they chose to focus on...

>It was bad writing and the editor removed it. The fact that he felt shame doesn't make his assumptions any more valid.

Way to miss the whole argument. It's not even like he didn't spell it out...
IMO you don't really need it to be a full vnc style remote desktop although, or even have the editor run in the browser. You can get equivalent results with bazel[0] remote execution + cache servers and get a similar horizontally scaling build system, without vnc style jank or full network dependence for your actions as a developer.

Another reason why google likes the remote dev experience is because it doesn't download code to the developers laptop, because they don't trust them.

Spotify cancels 11 original podcasts, lays off under 5% of podcast staff
Who exactly is getting anything free?

Folks are divvying up allocations of a untreated, variable natural resource among themselves that they need to pipe somewhere, maintain storage for, treat, and then deliver. Which is expensive.

I don't see anyone involved here with a meaningful City literally built ON the Colorado. Everyone is a significant distance away.

That isn't free.

As your last point notes as well - who would we even 'pay' for a natural resource anyway? Burn the cash in giant piles as an offering to the gods? Arguably they're the ones who should get it. Alternatively - Pay the feds? Pay themselves?

Can't say everyone or even most world wide are doing a great job necessarily. So I wouldn't take it too hard on oneself. But there must be improvement on the topic. The problem in the U.S. I would say is that lack of knowledge of civics and law can get you in more trouble than other countries -- there is less of the "honest mistake" mentality and approach and more of "we have a hammer and we hammer nails or anything that looks like it." Again on average, and my impression. Also the legal system is way too overcomplicated and inconsistent for my formal mind.

You can get lucky and work at all great companies in your career. Most of us will not have enough jobs in our lives to get a representative sample.

There is also a question of having different standards. Bad companies might just be bad for someone who has access to the top companies, but otherwise great for average workers.

That's nice anecdote. When a thief intercepted my credit card information, my bank accused me of lying and made sure the thief could keep all the money, including going through the full appeals process for fraud reporting where my claim was denied at every step. Then the bank kept insinuating that my family members must have stolen the money, and called into question my credibility in a condescending tone. Honestly I've found fraud protection at the bank to suck horribly.

With my crypto transactions I never send the private key with it, unlike with credit card payments where I transmit the private information (CC numbers). Going off anecdotes, I've found crypto to be vastly safer for my transactions than the banking system.

Huh? Sensible racial grouping is trivial. The overwhelming majority of people on earth fall neatly into racial cateogies of white (European), black (African), Native American (American Indian), or Pacific Islander. Sure, the edges are fuzzy, (and good luck with the whole race/ethnicity thing vis-a-vis hispanics) but to pretend that makes it difficult to measuring population-level averages is just silly.

When I pointed out that the scanner was missing, the inspector didn't speak English, but when it came time to pay the fine, her English was flawless.

>6/7ths of the world to pull from.

Realistically US draws from ~1.2B of English speakers. PRC draws from ~1.1B of Mandarin speakers. Actually pool of relevant STEM talent is obviously much smaller, but PRC generates about as much as all OECD countries combined, which is multiple times US can absorb via immigration unless (unpopular) shift in policy. PRC academic / S&T / R&D pipeline is maturing towards generating "best and brightest" in numbers comparable to rest 6/7th of the world, much of whom are already retained in PRC. And despite how many Chinese foreign students are in western universities, this isn't the 90s anymore where CCP actually sent out their best and brightest to learn abroad, most of the international PRC students now are those who can't hack it in high competitive PRC system but have the wealth to pursue education abroad. They're extremely competitive bench warmers. Which isn't to say US brain drain isn't a great competitive advantage, it just may not be disproportionately so, something that keeps US in the game instead of thoroughly dominating it.

As someone who is not a lawyer, my question is what are the potential response avenues to a subpoena like this. That is, Meta has essentially demanded a ton of work from SimulaVR, for free. I very much agree with Simula's response of "We can't afford stuff like this".

So, realistically, what are Simula's options? I imagine a "fuck off" response won't go over well with the court. Can they give some cursory information? Is there some way they can challenge the subpoena as overly burdensome?

I hate how our legal system makes it so easy to demand work from someone else, when the burden on the demanding party is so extremely low. Why shouldn't Meta need to pay hundreds of dollars an hour for the information they are requesting? The lawyers are definitely charging that much.
> The parental contribution is only 0.4% of the LAUSD budget

> but somehow it's making up a 20% funding gap between low and high income schools.

Where are you getting the 0.4% coming from? Parents don't generally donate directly to public school district budgets. They donate to school PTAs and school-affiliated non-profits.

Perhaps you are referring to https://achieve.lausd.net/donorschoose but that's totally unrelated to outside PTA fundraising via the parent community, and it's usually tiny amounts used to pay for things like classroom supplies.

It's pretty straightforward. The article says $876 in private PTA donations are raised per year per pupil in the wealthier schools, and that is still $300 shy of what poorer schools spend overall per pupil. So the wealthier schools only make 3/4 of the spending gap.

I know this from direct experience since I write a check annually to my kid's California public school PTA for roughly the same amount.

> I think in the long run voters tend to learn that voting for third parties isn't safe, so two parties continue to dominate.

The empiricval evidence in countries with long term ranked voting (Australia, say) is that bicameral party systems (only Democrats or Republicans have any realistic chance) wither and die, and smaller blocs have a better chance of survival and impact | influence in the House and Senate ..

Two parties "dominate" in Australia (or rather three parties, which are effectively two - the Nat-Liberals being an Rural-Urban conservative coalition of long standing) but nowhere near the degree to which two parties dominate in the USofA; more importantly minority opinions have gravitas and can sway the major vote - none of this bipolar US Dem-Rep deadlock.

There are styles of headphones that are like an ear plug (to reduce noise by say 20db) that have a small tube running to the driver that is a long distance away. They’re these clear tubes with a coil you see on security guards and what not. The actual driver is somewhere else.

>In decades past, non-linear workdays used to be fairly uncommon.

They still are fairly uncommon. Source: traffic jams.

But for real. There is a trend to be a little more flexible, yet most places in the world continue to require the most obvious candidates for both remote and asynchronous work to function 'hybrid' and synchronously. It's incredibly telling Tuesdays and Thursdays are the days everything ends up jammed here.

If that wasn't enough, the 'we are doing Scrum' movement heavily pushes synchronous stand-ups and other meetings in the morning. Since most places also require video (yuck), good luck trying to just sit at a meeting and then go back to bed. If your ideal is to work the latter half of the day, we're still a far cry from normalizing it. I'd wager you can replace 'Scrum' with something else equally applicable in other disciplines.

Worst part is, we're still forcing the workerbees to fit the 9-5 rhythm, but the services are also working on a 9-5 rhythm. So how does Worker Bee use a service only available when they should be working? Not their problem, that's your problem (no seriously, who designed this structure?)

I think we are miscommunicating here, because you are claiming something which is obviously impossible. What is going to prevent a process from _writing to AND reading from its own memory_ exactly? Its "own memory" may be anything including potentially a large object of size "MAXMEM" that it just got from the system, which the program is then going to arrange into any way it likes and which is going to include a heap and vectors and whatever. This is not a ridiculous over-the-top example, this is literally how most programs under most operating systems work these days...

If your system provides a special allocator that actually does tell the hardware which allocations correspond to which object then that's nice (and not a new thing... many lisp machines had this, plus x86 segmentation, etc.), but it really does not prevent and cannot prevent a process using the allocated memory however it sees fit. The only thing that could is throwing turing-completeness out of the window.

Yes, (ancient) x86 segments are a form of memory tagging. I always found it ironic that many people complain about "the PDP-11 memory model" and yet we already had a popular architecture trying to get away from it.. only to result in one of the most hated memory models ever. While you can definitely do better, I am skeptical that any new type of memory tagging is going to improve significantly on it.
