Why do you need to know what things are? You are a vacuum cleaner.

Not really different than waiting for the DVD, though, is it?

I think price is definitely part of the equation. Going to the theater is a nice way to get out of the house. That argument gets worse and worse as you realize you're paying $20 for popcorn and an extra $10 for a drink. Add in the ticket costs and a family of 4, and it just becomes prohibitively expensive for what you're getting.

FYI, tracing supports arbitrary spans at whatever level of granularity you want. However, out of the box auto-tracing is not going to do this, it depends on the language but usually the spans are at the RPC layer of abstraction, so any fine grained spans would be fully custom code.

We did this a while back for some critical functions in our rails monolith where we wanted to confirm that an expensive bit of code was behaving as expected. It’s not bad when the service is already set up with tracing libraries and the rest of the plumbing.

I don't know what you mean by escape hatch, but it generally just isn't necessary and memory is managed automatically by scope. The bigger point here is that it just isn't a significant part of execution time.

Chrome uses a proper GC for C++ as well

This is an anecdote, it doesn't prove or disprove anything in the bigger picture.
A year ago, myself and other Director / Senior EM folks were sitting around in our Zoom, looking at our headcount allocations from C-Suite and talking about how while the company wanted hyper growth, we all needed to find ways to control the growth/not hire as many as the company wanted us to hire, because otherwise we'd end up doing lay offs in 18 to 24 months when the econ cools (turns out we overestimated that bit). Every middle managers saw it, some of the more experienced ones who had gone through this cycle before shared tactics they'd used last time to make it seem like you're playing ball (so Talent doesn't rat you out for blocking their Hire A Bazillion People OKRs), etc. It was a regular topic in our leadership meeting and we all covered for each other when slow hiring got brought up.

We ended up hiring 60% of the targeted headcount before interest rates started spiking and everyone else slowed hired before transitioning to layoffs. So now we're the only division in the company that has open lines and can replace attrition. Meanwhile two other divisions have layoff rumors floating around.

All these CEO "it's my fault" letters ring hollow with me. The responsible ones were the ones that didn't just hop on all hands and announce "We're gonna 3x headcount!" and instead kept their hiring rational, managing their board and investors as needed. People are getting laid off now, because senior leadership wanted to have nice happy meetings where they pretended we could just 3x revenue every year for every and thus any kind of spend was justified on the grounds revenue would surpass it sooner or later.
Photonic/optical neural networks are an interesting related area of research, using light interference to implement convolution and other operations without (I believe?) needing a bitwise representation of intensity.

>You described finding out there was an armed suspect hiding out in your neighborhood, but there is no way on earth Citizen should be how you find that out:

Im not a fearful person, so I am looking for utility and data. I am also the worlds foremost expert on my opinions and experiences, so I can tell you what happened, not the other way around.

In the case of the suspect hiding in our neighborhood, our block was swarmed by cops but nobody notified us what was going on. We checked citizen and other scanners to find out what was happening and found out. This let us take practical precautions like locking the front, back, and side doors to the house- which we normally keep open.

In the case of the shopping center, I didnt use the app and was driving around the parking lot. Saw about 20 cops and asked a bystander what was going on and I got the fuck out of there. I got the full details 24 hours later from searching the news- a high speed chase had led to the shopping center and the suspect fled inside. In this case, a notification would have been really helpful.

Those are the most extreme examples. Much more common is seeing something like the bay bridge being stopped and being able to pull up pictures from the people stuck in traffic. I have used that to determine if it is something like a semi on its side or a flat tire and plan my day accordingly.

I haven't used the app in a while, because like I said, the UI is crappy. I do live near a higher crime area and frequently hear gunshots. I'm thinking about going back to the app because I would like to know how often these are real incidents requiring medical response versus people just "having fun".

I have read the city crime reports and used their crime database, but it is very delayed and has a terrible UI itself.

This may be true for some investors, but the largest hedge fund in the world Bridgewater) is famous for their all-weather fund.

That means that those investors do exist.

If you take that into account, that means that they chose investors who do not want an all-weather company, and thereby gambled not only with their own personal well-being, but with other people's career's and incomes on a risky bet -- as the top comment said, it was obvious that these rates wouldn't stay the same.

The overwhelming majority of Twitter users do not care about decentralization, and in fact would prefer more censorship of deeply offensive views such as outright racism and hate speech.

As for Mastodon's numbers, you can check for yourself, and it isn't good[0]. December 12th has 2,163,975 active users for a total of 5,474,864 Mastodon accounts, and on January 12th, Mastodon has 1,731,986 active users for a total of 5,940,022 people who created an account. That’s a 20% decrease in active users in a month.

That's objectively bad, and it's unsurprising. It can't scale, and solves problems most people don't care about.

Mastodon is not the future.

> Something tells me that most CEOs who commit to running an all-weather business during this period of contraction will forget about it when times are better.

Bingo.

It will be very interesting when the interest rates climb back down, to see how many CEO's will actually be hiring conservatively. One nice thing: we now have public documentation of their apology letters, so it will be quite a PR exercise to go back on their words. But I'm sure the consultants they hire will come up with the right kind of spin.

Yes everyone knew it would end, but nobody knew exactly when. Choosing not to expand when there was cheap capital and increased customer demand would have been a pretty bad decision as well. Many of these companies expanded by like 3-5x and are now having to downsize by like 10-20%. That doesn't seem like a reckless overshoot to me.
No, but the signal is, “when the website is up, we’re here”.

I can’t say I’d call this a smart move, but if they still have enough customers to make it worthwhile, I can’t say it’s a bad move. Now, if they can’t get customers or can’t grow because of this, the market will tell them it’s a bad idea.

It’s definitely sub-optimal, from a growth point of view. But so long as it works for them and their customers, why should I care?

Are they the only bank for a region? Or is using them required for some purpose?

Me too. I was just alluding to the fact that when people are very different they tend to see each other as flawed. But when you strip away the defense mechanisms and look at it from the outside it’s rarely so clear cut. Maybe the people you are talking about could do your job and everybody else’s if you would just leave? ;) I’ve seen several examples where that was the case.
I'm glad he didn't say that it was "his responsibility alone" or that he is "holding himself accountable". Those are empty words that were being overused during this last layoff season and it was extremely disingenuous.

They are not, in fact, rare, as is almost always pointed out when they are mentioned.
There is no such thing as "too smart". what you are describing is too inexperienced, overconfident and sloppy. You need a manager or senior engineer who can help them improve.
Here's one for cable companies:

And these banking regulations are too long for me to skim in too much detail, but they mention "telephone" 138 times in the context of various requirements of availability for certain functions and during certain times. One such example:

> 7. Telephone line availability. To satisfy the readily-available standard, the financial institution must provide enough telephone lines so that consumers get a reasonably prompt response. The institution need only provide telephone service during normal business hours. Within its primary service area, an institution must provide a local or toll-free telephone number. It need not provide a toll-free number or accept collect long-distance calls from outside the area where it normally conducts business.

https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/6500-580.html

But more specifically about government requirements, there's stuff like the ADA which requires specific means of access, and there's other things like the USPS USO which, for instance, requires 6 day per week postal service. I'm sure there are others.

My xiaomi uses wifi to communicate to the app on your phone and its dock. The app is useful, you can specify a zone to clean from a previous lidar scan of your place, have it come and do a spot cleanup, establish schedules or trigger a clean while you are away, or you can control it manually with directional controls.

That being said I think it would still work fine without the wifi doing a whole area clean with the button on the top, it just might say its having trouble finding its dock and you would need to carry it home after its finished.

First, I've never heard of "small instances [being] subject to a ton of scrutiny [or being] blocked by some large instances by default", so I'm not sure where that's coming from.

Regardless, which is better: A federation where, yeah, there might be a bit of drama over who blocks whom, but each instance can set its own policy? Or a single private entity controlling the entire platform?

You cannot solve the problem you're highlighting with technology. What you're describing is the human consequences of people exercising their freedom of association.

But what you can do is place that freedom in the hands of the community, and I struggle to see how that is anything but a definite improvement over the current status quo.
I have started using globally exported TZ=:/etc/localtime after previous discussion, but since stopped, since at some desktop applications (slack for example) were not reading timezone correctly.
A few ideas to improve the schema based on looking at the examples:

1. Make `globalId` part of a "Node" interface that all of the types implement. This will work better with tooling like Relay (used for refetching and caching). It will also let you add a `node` field that can be used to fetch any node in the graph.

2. Make the sort input an enum so that you have `sort: TITLE_DESC` instead of `sort: {by: TITLE, order: DESC}`.

3. Implement the connection spec instead of returning a list of items: https://relay.dev/graphql/connections.htm. This will let you add pagination data to the field and other useful info like totalCount.

4. Spin up a postgraphile instance with the `@graphile-contrib/pg-simplify-inflector` and `postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter` plugins and copy everything they do.
