The context was specifically the handling of times that don’t include an offset (or perhaps time zone, it was unclear). The correct answer there is not UTC (which is flatly incorrect, depending on a locally-enforced convention that incidentally deviates from the most common meaning of such time stamps), but rather “don’t enter that situation in the first place, because any other answer is wrong”.

—⁂—

For the rest of your statement: for times not tied to a particular location or time offset, you should always use UTC in the form of the offset Z, in ISO 8601/RFC 3339 terms, since specifying any other offset indicates that it means something. (Note that RFC 3339 tried to have -00:00 be the neutral offset and Z and +00:00 meaningful, but that is acknowledged to have failed, and so https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-sedate-datetime-e... is updating it to match actual usage.) But for things that involve humans and are anchored to a particular time zone, using UTC and not storing a time zone is wrong: you should store the relevant time zone and (fallback) offset so that if the time zone definition changes (as they do, sometimes with less than a few days’ notice), future times can be corrected, which they can’t be if you anchored them to UTC. So: things like system logs, use UTC; online conferences, use UTC; location-bound conferences, use that location’s time zone; general user calendars, use the user’s time zone; calendars for companies that straddle time zones (or people that work across time zones): deliberately choose a time zone or offset to anchor things to (sometimes at the level of individual events), especially for the sake of recurring event periods if you use a time zone with DST.

I have had a nightmare dealing with their customer service. Hour and half holds, dropped calls, inconsistent messaging, losing my information (personal address e.g. despite it being on an incident tracking website), lack of communication, difficulty with partner airlines getting ahold of them.

I took a Lufthansa+Air Canada trip because it was $300ish cheaper than the alternatives and I regret it. I also know many people personally who have had terrible experiences this past summer.

My suggestion would be to rebook if possible, but it might not be too bad since the summer is over. Either way I hope things go smoothly.
This.

And this is true for reasons I didn't understand when I was soley technical and younger.

At the end of the day people - _teams_ - want people they can trust in. That doesn't mean you handle things flawlessly, or that your boss can necessarily "set it and forget it" with you.
Being trustworthy and responsible means acting out of good intent. Take a breath, keep your head on straight, look at the slightly bigger picture, and make reasonable choices. Communicate.
Act as if the world isn't on your shoulders - because it isn't.

Take a step back, realize that we're all people, trying to make good decisions, and we're responsible to work with the outcomes and address problems as they arise.

Sure, just like a speeding ticket doesn't get punished with the death penalty. Of course that's not the goal of the fines. Why would you expect it to be?
i think both fly.io and litestream were projects that spoke sweet words to the average developer wanting to build features without the infra headache, and what made sqlite so appealing was its simplicity. litestream kept that simplicity too. but i don't think the avg developer wants to spin up their own LiteFS. At a glance at the repo, i have no idea how to deploy this thing. It would have served fly and litestream users better to have kept replication within litestream.

just as no one using postgres on RDS will ever leave RDS not b/c RDS is so much better than its competitors but because the hurdle is too great and the migration so risky. right now, fly is the only one who lessens the burden to use LiteFS and as long as they're the only one, the average developer is essentially locked in.

talking about it does not quite bring it to their doorstep; but it surely takes you back there; it's understandable to not want to go back.

I don't belive you're doing this (bearing the horrible things) only to shield your relatives from your past. it is important you recognize that it's something you do for yourself, you are the main person who doesn't want to remember whatever horrible events you had to experience; don't pin this choice on them.
OK, if what you were doing there was using "bernoulli distribution" to mean "bernoulli trial", then I stand corrected. But that's different than the binomial distribution, which is the more common thing to discuss, and what I was assuming you were talking about.

> I thought your whole point was that OPs code was not a valid way to sample from a binomial distribution?

The code OP posted was just taking the ratio of two binomial random variables. It's not "sampling from a binomial", except (perhaps) in the sense that each of those random variables was the result of independent coin flips.

We really need to be more precise in our terminology here. "Sampling from a distribution" can mean a lot of things. Based on the sibling comments, it seems like they were trying (?) to sample from the binomial CDF.

Setting this aside, my high-level point was OPs calculation doesn't have anything to do with error distributions.

Thanks for all the info! I'm glad you found something that worked for you.

Please post on HN when you do!

It sounds like your symptoms were a bit different (even between long covid sufferers, they seem to vary greatly), but I definitely understand the difficulty in not "overdoing it" whenever you feel a better than usual. Did you try yoga or other progressive exercises, or did you avoid those stressors until you felt better?

Currently, I work out about to my limit of where I get some slight and brief symptoms, and that limit is slowly increasing. I've attempted months of taking it super easy, which brought on different forms of the same symptoms (the fight or flight response, altered breathing and heart rate and brain fog), so it seemed like I might as well just get the exercise.
I strongly doubt it.

What I bet will happen is: 4080 16G is going to be a very fast card that's going to sell as hot cakes at set price point. Just like the 4090 is selling very well despite all the moaning about power and price.
First, don't make assumptions. I live in a tropical country, in the tropics.

Secondly, your emotional comment completely disregards the basic point of what I was saying, that humans in general will adapt and are actually very good at it in general.

Furthermore, even more fundamentally, my points about doom fetishism and apocalyptic exaggeration: Climate change is a problem for the vastly complex human society spread all across the globe and sustaining 8 billion people, but it is not on par with a true cataclysm for life on earth in the way something like a large asteroid impact or a "snowball earth" ice age would be. It is something that the earth, life on earth and much of human society in general will find ways to deal with. This isn't to sweep suffering under the rug, but it's worth mentioning for a dose of realistic optimism.

We simply can't predict at this point what human innovations in the next 150 years of the UN/IPCC predictions of worst case climate warming will possibly improve things or let humanity adapt in ways that mitigate the worst effects of those evidence-based predictions (as opposed to sheer hyperbole pushed forward by people obsessed with emotional arguments over death and destruction.)
Because the entire economic structure that supported “jobs” has deteriorated and became unsustainable. It was only working in industrial society with tangible outputs. “Jobs” were a temporary development only suitable for a particular social structure: industrial capitalism. Now we still have capitalism, but no more industrial society.

Late reply, but the most common ‘advice’ (usually in the form of post-mortums) I have seen is that knowing the total allocation size for a program is an engineering analysis based on memory availability for a given system and estimated worst-case bounds for memory usage. The system is then designed to work within the constraints generated by that analysis.

Pre-allocating certainly requires a system/application designer to consider the most likely worst case resource usage and then enforce that estimate throughout the design.

Further, for systems that have modern memory sized resources (i.e. 16gb and up) the system is designed to work as though memory was a stack and then that stack is allocated from system resources using something like a growable array, or slab style allocator. So that if the estimated wort case usage is reached, the ‘static memory allocation’ can be relocated and enlarged or added onto with a new slab.

Your comments imply the sticking point may be the estimate of program memory usage, and that is a very fact/situational analysis.

I member a time when most adults would have somewhat reasonable opinions and we could have a discussion about a specific issue without jumping to "you're a <insert political party>" therefore you suck, therefore your opinion is bad.

Nowadays I hear straight up batshit crazy things all the time. All the time.

It used to be that if you had crazy ideas you would receive feedback that you're crazy and people would not want to associate with you. Nowadays instead of thinking about it you just double down. Other nuts are coming out of the woodwork and all of a sudden "we have to consider all points of view". We cater to the lowest common denominator and entertain things that should be summarily dismissied.

Many many people are only perceiving negative aspects of workgroups (management, politics, commute, salary games) because being on your own is possible now.

At best, the idea that we can "prevent/reverse" climate change, and control the global climate like a household thermostat is purely a hypothesis, at worst, its futile mythology that the priestly caste has been asserting as the path to salvation since the beginning of human history.

Primitive hominids have learned to adapt thru massive climate change for millions of years. Makes sense that we should put more effort into what we know we can do (adapt), than unquestioningly following ideas that shamans, priests, and scientists claim can be done -- with zero proof.
