unless you want to grow an operationally excellent and well staffed org, control plane should probably be public cloud.

cost plane, whether it be heavy on bytes at rest, bytes in flight, or compute, could possibly be private cloud.

scale to zero is something not possible without public cloud. it opens interesting doors like services priced cost plus.

what if zero usage had zero cost? what is all usage was profitable?

from the perspective of an individual customer and assuming light egress, lambda, ec2 spot, and s3 are shockingly affordable.

heavy egress is where you maybe do something else with the cost plane. that could be private cloud, or cloudflare et al.
I don't think they meant aptitude in the strictest sense. You ability to learn and apply ideas is an aptitude in and of itself. That is something studying is a part of demonstrating, and the the type of aptitude these tests, I believe, are intended to measure.
Just in case anyone isn't aware there is a mount flag called "soft" that allows the NFS client (and some other network filesystems) to timeout or be interrupted, i.e. the process won't get stuck in 'D' (device wait) state.
The breakdown for the $1.7M toilet was published: $300K for the architect, $125K for construction management, $175K for the City project manager, etc. All this for one toilet in this cute town square. This has nothing to do with humanity, fascism, or the city being full. It's simply gross public $ mismanagement. SF should use this $ for something more useful, like better schools.
Mixins could be done, but I believe we'd need some sort of lexically-scoped reference first, so that we're not trying to apply mixins that can dynamically based on style resolution, which is what sunk @apply. See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3714
/r/fuckcars moment, but yes you're absolutely right. Transportation in the US seems to be getting worse as time passes, it's actually incredible.
With io_uring, every line in an application that calls read/recv needs to be refactored, along with much of the surrounding context. io_uring doesn't replace poll/epoll, it effectively replaces typical event loop frameworks. You can integrate io_uring into pre-existing event loop frameworks, but the event loop framework will end up as a 99% superfluous wrapper, at least on Linux.

Note that many applications don't use event loop frameworks. For simple applications they can be overkill. Even for more complex applications, it may be cleaner to use restartable semantics (i.e. same semantics as read--just call me again), especially for libraries or components that want to be event loop agnostic.
Or you can just architect your application as a hybrid that can surge into the cloud as needed. Lots of ways to go about it rather than just chucking everything to the cloud and never thinking about it again.
> This is not a useful definition of "block".

I think what I'm saying is that calling file I/O "blocking" is also not a useful definition of "block". Because I don't really see the fundamental difference between "we have to wait for main memory to respond" and "we have to wait for disk to respond".

> this is your first access to a page of anonymous virtual memory and the kernel hadn't needed to allocate a physical page until now

And said allocation could block on all sorts of things you might not expect. Once upon a time I helped debug a problem where memory allocation would block waiting for the XFS filesystem driver to flush dirty inodes to disk. Our system generated lots of dirty inodes, and we were seeing programs randomly hang on allocation for minutes at a time.

Yeah, if you want anything you need to build it yourself and raise merge requests and hope they merge it to make it into Gitlab.com.

Even their Gitlab.com runners are still not on par with the Github. You pay $99/month/user and can't even get the same base runner spec as Github instead of you need to pay double the CI minutes to get it. Pretty mad

Why does the timestamp on the article say it was published on November 1, 2022. I'm not in the future, right? Someone help!
No, it's not subjective at all.

It's actually entirely objective, in terms of the amount of tension you need to hold in the muscles connected to your shoulders, elbows, and wrists. You're looking to maintain a neutral position in all of those, to minimize tension there. There's nothing subjective whatsoever about that, tension is very observable.

Second, I would very much push back on key wells for the general population. Adjustable tilt forwards on a flat keyboard achieves everything you need for neutral wrist position and relaxed fingers, so that you're always typing slightly "downwards". Key wells try to accomplish a weird goal of holding your arms/hands in a fixed position and typing with just your fingers, instead of typing with your whole arm floating in an integrated shoulder-to-fingertip movement. If you have some kind of arm movement problem/disability then concave wells might be the best solution, but for the general population the wells are more awkward to use in the upper rows of keys, increasing the forearm tension which controls the fingers. (As a general rule, tension is usually minimized overall by distributing work across as many muscles as possible that involve longer muscle trains, rather than localizing work in shorter areas. That, for example, is why people say to lift with your back, not with your arms.)
> Transposons and pseudogenes may be nonfunctional for an individual organism, but aren't they useful for evolution to create new genes?

Ok, but by that definition, nothing is really junk: Even our own junkyards are still home to all sorts of animals and microorganisms which feed on the junk.

Not even starting with the recycling/upcycling movement.

Doesn't change the fact that it's junk in the sense of its original purpose and immediate utility to us.

In the same way, if junk DNA really has no effect on the body it's currently part of (like freed but uncleared memory in RAM), then I think the name is appropriate.

What I'm really missing in popular reporting about genetics though is more focus on the "regulatory elements". The understanding of DNA as given by pop-science articles is mostly that DNA is either instructions for building proteins or "junk", nothing else. This completely leaves out the question how the cell decides when/if a particular protein should be built - which is of course integral for understanding how a number of protein building instructions can result in a complex organism.

It's like describing a programming language as consisting only of instructions and comments but completely leaving out branches and loops.

(even though gene regulation does not happen through branches and loops)

ToS aren't law, what matters in court is what the judge decides, and they can decide that certain ToS terms were never valid. But the question is whether it makes financial sense to do so, where for most accounts the answer will be no (hence why providers can get away with it for a long time).

There are also some small chances that the company will try to reach a settlement to avoid a ruling that would give a lot of customers a strong lever before they can update their ToS (which could mean a much larger payout in return for signing some NDAs), that you are awarded additional punitive damages (pretty unlikely here though, I'd guess), or that you find a consumer rights organization that is willing to cover your legal fees. And of course, some people are willing to fight for their rights even if it doesn't make sense financially (this guy [0] fought and won a 22-year legal battle against Indian Railways over something like 20c).

I'd like to see languages like that, but it's a massive lift. Our systems of source control and CI/CD are built around the assumption that languages are text files that are somewhat line oriented. It's valuable for people to be able to use different editors and tools, and text files are the integration point that makes this work.

Fallible parsers are a bit of a hack but they're a hack that works and is widely deployed already, and I'm not convinced the value of moving to a symbolic/binary representation creates enough value to justify the risk involved in the migration. That being said I'd love to see it happen. We'd end the tabs and spaces debate once and for all!

I think being able to make people laugh in as few words as possible is a skill, and one that's very difficult to master. It's like poetry, constraints require creativity. Creepy wet uncle, to me at least, isn't very funny, but it was likely funny at the time because of the context. Unexpected things can be funny, and it's a common way to form a joke, but coming up with novel ideas that lots of people find funny isn't an easy thing to do for most people. If it was, we probably wouldn't find it that funny.

FWIW, I think this is what has made Twitter so popular. The original 140 character limit with out the ability to do tweet threads in the form we have now put a lot of constraints on people. Being thoughtful or funny in 140 characters is difficult, but a lot of folks came up with some pretty amazing insights and quips.

Both the government and the individuals who caught malaria can sue the person who created the code-violating pools, especially since that person is aware of the resulting health effects. A lawsuit against someone who inadvertently caught malaria will obviously go nowhere, because courts consider intent.

Since the status quo is that public lands are regulated by the state, the state will sue people who illegally poach endangered species within its jurisdiction. However, if another state allows the poaching of the same endangered species within its jurisdiction, a libertarian approach in the first state would allow for animal parts to be imported from the second state and sold within the first state.

A comprehensive definition from Wikipedia:

> Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and political freedom, and minimize the state's encroachment on and violations of individual liberties; emphasizing pluralism, cosmopolitanism, cooperation, civil and political rights, bodily autonomy, free association, free trade, freedom of expression, freedom of choice, freedom of movement, individualism and voluntary association. Libertarians are often skeptical of or opposed to authority, state power, warfare, militarism and nationalism, but some libertarians diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing economic and political systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

You seem to be painting all libertarians as a homogeneous extremist bloc, which is just as fallacious as ascribing minority hardline stances to "all liberals" or "all conservatives". The above describes general concepts that libertarians support, and absolutes such as "absolute personal freedom" are ideologies that pragmatists recognize as infeasible.

You don't think the m1 based stuff kinda raised the bar again?

I'm hardly an apple fanboi, my house has been something of halfway house/shelter for abandoned corporate dell's and lenovo's for many years.. but dang everything I see about those m1 chips is impressive, and I dont recall hearing a single serious complaint about the laptops.

That's said.. so long as you don't go too underpowered on the cpu, and put an nvme drive in it, almost all modern laptops are pretty amazing, and they last so much longer in terms of useful life.
A 2000 era Satellite Pro was almost certainly junk after 3-4 years. My newest laptop is 3 years old right now.
I think it's not about doing away with all tests, but providing various kinds of tests / process to get in, so various types of students can get in.

For instance, like some here, I never knew about SAT prep, etc., but I did run a business in high school and did a ton of hardware/science projects, which both in retrospect made me far better prepared for startup life than anything school taught me.

However, this more makes me think we need a better way of matching students with schools, training, and other programs that fit their style. People think the "Learning Styles" approach has been discredited, with in specific they're right, but that doesn't mean that the current style of school is good for everyone either.

I went to school in rural Western Pennsylvania with parents who went to community college, and I definitely didn't have anyone helping me think through any of this stuff. Big shame, because plenty of people have everything but the right environment / people around them to help them succeed.

Gitea has had reliability issues whenever I've tried to use it. And by "reliability issues" I mean the thing would spit out an "internal server error" message if I clicked around too fast in the UI while it's running locally on the same PC.

It is a lot faster and lighter than Gitlab, but I don't really care about that for something like this. Gitlab is fast enough, and since I run it on a dedicated server, I don't really care how much memory and resources it's using as long as it doesn't exceed the limits of the server.

EDIT: to be fair though, I haven't used gitea in at least a year. Things might have improved in that time.

A normal VM at digital ocean at $1k a month could handle any conceivable load. Don't 3rd party something you can do yourself for free.
