>free speech laws are different in Canada

do you mean Canada actually has laws to define what you may say or not ?

I'm always upset with Americans companies when they moderate the content with their ToS and arbitrary moderation.
Often they even delegated to users, by threatening to ban them if they didn't delete something they don't like.
They don't even properly define what they don't like, so that you delete any controversial content and just chase likes.

And these American companies or their users just take down whatever they want, even if it's legal. That's not free speech.

In Europe, you used to have proper objective laws, and a court had to decide if a content was illegal.
Even nowadays, I can report hate speech, scams, and other forms of actually illegal content to the police. They will properly investigate and the author can go to trial, like this man in Canada. That's proper rule of law.

In the USA, the moderation would just delete the content like nothing happened, and then hater speechers are free to go to the Daily Stormer or other companies with compatible ToS.
Food is incredibly addictive. Sugar stimulates the same pathways as opiates and provides instant massive hits of dopamine.

Many people who manage to lose weight end up relapsing. Most people end up gaining all the weight back. [1]

It’s far higher than the relapse rate amongst former smokers. And really, just look at exploding obesity rates around the world.

Yes, smoking is a choice. Yes, people will mock smokers for crying and saying it’s not their fault. Yes, admitting personal responsibility and making personal effort is the best way to overcome it. Smoking is addictive, but so is loads of stuff. It sucks, but most people get through life choosing to never start.

> Before the revolution in russia, there were indeed quite some slaves. After the revolution, there were only slaves. Someone who is locked in and cannot leave the country and has otherwise little freedom to move and act, is a slave by my definition,

This is fictitious argument.

My Grandmother lived in USSR, she had education, a choice of career, could move across thousands of kilometers if she fell like it. She had axess to functional, if basic, medical care.

Her grandmother was property, she was illiterate and had to grind wheat by pulling the mill, untill her legs gave out. She died in agony. She could not leave the place to get medical care, even if she could afford it.

Sure living in USSR wasn't great, but if you think that's equivalent to being forced into slavery, you have left the plane of reasonable discourse.
It seems you are having trouble putting yourself in my shoes.

I don't want to communicate to the reception to "not enter my room" because it feels rather awkward to say. The whole thing is just bad UX in my view. Of course your view may be different (or even most people's views), but that was not the point of my comment, of course.
Safari deletes all of a site's local data after a week of inactivity, including cookies.

This makes users feel like they're never logged into a website when they need it, unless they're using it almost daily.

That high-friction experience pushes users towards apps, which of course are always ready to go.

I think it's the customer's responsibility to know whether the person directly in front of them is being paid, or relying on the customer to pay. If you go into a strip club in whatever country you are in, do you expect to get a lap dance without tipping the girl? Because she's in the union or being paid by the strip club? Probably not. In some states in America, like New York, waiters are basically like strippers. If you go there, you should understand that the service costs extra.
You wouldn't go into a Buddhist temple in Thailand and not leave some change at the door. You wouldn't go climb Mt Everest and not give a few dollars to the sherpa who carried your bag. So don't go to a restaurant in New York City and screw the wait staff. Budget it into your travels. This is a plain rule for traveling anywhere.
Do you have any references for that?

I wear glasses and it still check for activity in my face.
Try the HPE RL300, should be more reasonably priced but I couldn't get a quote because availability seems to be problematic at the moment.
> the prices they see on the menu is what they'll actually end up paying

Is the sales tax included in the listed price?

One of my pet peeves is how "tax and tip" are not included in the displayed prices in Ontario, Canada. I hate having to do arithmetic on every purchase I make.

I grew up in Sydney, Australia where what you see is what you pay - tax incl. Tipping is generally not part of the culture because the minimum wage is a livable wage (in most areas).
I recently asked it to generate a Python function, with type annotations, to query a vSphere server and return all the virtual machine objects using the PyVmomi library.

It returned a perfectly working function.

I recently asked it to generate a Gitlac CI file to format, plan, and apply a Terraform plan.

It also produced most of what I needed.

I think its going to end up being a solid replacement for using Google and Stack Overflow for many people.
Most vintage systems use something way more complex than a pure CPU-controlled framebuffer for graphics. They generally have some sorts of pre-defined "tiles" used to implement a fixed-width character mode, with the addition of a limited number of "sprites" overlaid in hardware. These video modes could be implemented efficiently by modern GPU's.
No, they just started paying PR firms when their deserved reputation started causing brand new graduates (their core hire) to pass on their job offers. The entire game industry is a massive shit show of employee abuse.
Most places in the US don’t even include all taxes in the prices they display so you will have to do some calculation anyway. It’s weird coming from Europe but you kind of get used to it, at least I hope.

Shameless plug: I'm working on a Strava like web app and I'm looking for Beta testers: https://cubetrek.com/static/join.html
It's a hobby project of mine, because I wanted to build an app to track my hiking and skiing activities in a way I like it, including 3D visualization (I live in Switzerland, so it's usually always either up or down and that's hard to visualize on a 2D map) and easy comparison of past efforts on the same track.

Things to do and not to do during a wave of tech layoffs
I ought to clarify: I meant that waiters don't deserve their wages and don't deserve to work if they think that spoiling customers' food is an acceptable reaction to a low/nonexistent tip.
Well, what if there was no log there to begin with?

If you've got a bunch of logs labelled as INFO, WARN and ERROR in your system, and you tweak the debug level - you get more detailed debug logs as need be. This will stream EXISTING logs to stdout and then to your favorite APM.

However, if the exact bit of information you wanted isn't there (that variable isn't logged, that specific piece of code isn't instrumented so you can't know it was reached, etc...) you're stuck.

In addition, sometimes (often) it's hard to correlate the exact path the code took, since it's not clear which condition or class or package or server were actually involved in the process of execution. This tool enables you to conditionally log just what you need in real time - basically "paint a path" through the code at runtime.

Hope that's clearer, can elaborate more if need be.
Please don't take the following as a flamebait, or gaslighting, or whatever, I mean it in the best and most polite way possible.

Your comment is still mildly sexist in my view. You say that brothers would do this, you say that sisters would not do this (the woman would not allow them to do this).

I think that position is unfair. Surely there are many men who wouldn't do it or who wouldn't be capable of doing it. Also surely there are many women who would do it and who would be perfectly capable of doing it.

The differentiator between the siblings who would do this kind of action and those who would not is not their gender. The differentiator is their guts, the way they think, their physical abilities and their confidence in their physical abilities. It correlates with their gender, but it is not determined by their gender.

There is no revenue/wage neutral way of restructuring how the costs are presented. A 20% service charge generates less income for waiters than tipping. Adding 20% to menu items generates less income for waiters than adding a 20% service charge. This effect isn't due to redistribution but a reduction in bill + tip revenue. No one has to like it but there is a lot of empirical evidence for this effect (and there are good theories as to why it happens).

By trying to eliminate tipping, you are working against the interest of waiters since they naturally want to maximize their income. You may not like tipping but it is economically optimal in many contexts. Businesses need to compete for employees and tipping maximizes employee income relative to revenue.

Where I live, most of the bartenders and waiters I know personally earn on the order of $80k/year if they do it full-time, and not at high-end establishments. Not an ostentatious lifestyle but definitely middle class.

Keep in mind that a far more pernicious and rather evil system is that of the donation receiving “non-profit”. It has over time been exposed and highlighted at various points, but I don’t think it has really at all penetrated the consciousness of the general public as to what a vast majority of “non-profits are, borderline con-jobs; and that’s being generous.

I won’t go into explaining and outlining exactly why that is for the time being, but suffice it to say that I have personal knowledge of the extremely manipulative industry that “non-profits” are. But I get it, some will not want to believe me, I mean they’re called “non-profits” and profits are bad, right?

The point of my caution is essentially this, what you are trying to avoid by stopping tipping, you will only far undo by essentially making “non-profit” executives and their friends and family rich instead of that money going to your employees.
> As long as you're careful about the reviews and double check all charges to not get overcharged, they're actually good at protecting you as a guest against the property afterwards.

thanks for the note. Our approach for this benchmark was to use the default configs which each of the logging platforms come with.

This is also because we are not experts in Elastic or Loki, so we won't know the possible impact of tuning configs. To be fair, we also didn't tune SigNoz for this specific data or test scenario and ran it in default settings.

> Graph complaining Elasticsearch using 60% available memory. This is as configured, they could use less with not much impact to performance.

This is something we discussed about, and have added a note in the benchmark blog as well. Pasting again for reference

> For this benchmark for Elasticsearch, we kept the default recommended heap size memory of 50% of available memory (as shown in Elastic docs here). This determines caching capabilities and hence the query performance.

We could have tried to tinker with the different heap sizes ( as a % of total memory) but that would impact query performance and hence we kept the default Elastic recommendation

The point is that if you can game the system, and the system cannot determine that it is being gamed, then it's a bad system.

Who watches the watchmen? In a large-enough organization, the stack ranking system is set by some executive high up the mountain. The low-level line managers and group managers are incentivized to work together to get the budget (for puffer employees) to help them keep their proven performers. Finance doesn't care as long as (a) the bottom-line improvements from firing puffers keep getting realized and (b) management keeps being able to pay puffers below-market salaries. Puffers themselves shouldn't care in this day and age, taking the opportunity to take the puffer paycheck as a 100% remote position with no actual responsibility, while working full-time somewhere else that actually appreciates them, so puffers basically get a free paycheck out of it for nothing.

It doesn't matter if it's a good system in theory. It only matters if it works in practice. There's an old joke about economists - they treat the real world as a special case.

Food is more addictive, because even if you break the worst habits you have to continue to eat.
in vietnam and estonia i encounter regularly someone refusing to take a tip or even seem slightly offended and it took me a while to get the right signals when it seems condescending, but it felt quite relieving to accept no tips are the default. especially delivery drivers made a real shift from being happy about tips to being proud and refusing and instead wanting real recognition by their companies and a livable salary instead of seeing responsibility shift to gratitudes.
Where is "here"? (And what is an acceptable tip?)
You're just plain wrong, please stop. New York City has a $15/hour minimum wage, with a $5/hour "tip credit" for food service employees - that is, as long as the employees are making more than $5/hour in tips, the employer only has to pay them $10/hour. Any employer that doesn't pay a base wage is operating illegally and is guilty of wage theft, no matter how many tips the employee makes.

Is it really that bad a thing though? Nicotine has several benefits even if smoking may not. There was a recent HN discussion on how current higher levels of adult ADHD may be because of the decrease in smoking. I am a very occasional smoker, maybe I smoke around a pack a year.

There is an easy way to test this. Considering all of the systemic racial preferences in place, would you rather be white or black (same skills & qualifications) if you're interviewing for a job at a Fortune 500 employer? Applying to Harvard Law school? Seeking a government contract?
