Something the article leaves out is the volume of the logs ingested (GB) vs. just the number of log entries. He says "between 750K and 1M logs a day", but doesn't indicate how large those logs are.

Most commercial solutions are priced based on volume/size rather than qps or API calls.

Yes, yes, there are lots of tools like this. ResumerX is effort-less, without registration, and for free.

Try out the tool and let me know how it can be improved. Hope it will be helpful to some.
I never got laid off, but the whole thing left me with a bad taste, so I have decided to go out on my own. Sure, there is risk, however there is also risk being with a large company and the whole 'we are family' culture kool aid is show to be the BS most of us knew it was. Recently we have seen profitable companies drop workers for no reason other than to appease activist investors. Now sure, this is their prerogative, can't argue with that, it's my prerogative to give (or not give) them my time. So just as my own business could fail, so could my position with a corp be liquidated, yet without being able to read the financial tea leafs and see it coming.

At the end of the day though, I am going to regret not trying then I am giving it a go. Right now I am in my thirties and have some flexibility to roll with the punches of capitalism, but that won't be the case when I hit 40/50+ when the one acceptable 'ism that everyone turns a blind eye to starts to playout ; ageism.

> UN decisions are more like a veil or facade of moral Authority

Not so; "veil" or "facade" implies fakeness or concealment. The U.N. does not hide its mission or its position on human rights.

> One of the great achievements of the United Nations is the creation of a comprehensive body of human rights law—a universal and internationally protected code to which all nations can subscribe and all people aspire. The United Nations has defined a broad range of internationally accepted rights, including civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. It has also established mechanisms to promote and protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their responsibilities. [1]

The lack of consensus and consistency is an ongoing challenge, sure, but it doesn't make the goals fake. Countries are flawed and have competing interests, but it is important to nudge the world in a better direction.

Judo and two total wars with western powers won only after seemingly losing everything -- it's hard not to think that the dictator will eventually inflict far far more pain in the form of martial law on his own people than any of us can imagine in the hopes that that will allow them to find the spark to fall to such a base survival instinct as to bounce back. By no means do I believe that will happen, in fact I believe we must do anything in our power to ensure that does not happen, but I do believe there's been a lack of critical analysis of the way that dictator likely thinks based on a lens of history and his favorite sport. He likely genuinely believes they need to keep losing and losing much more badly than they are today before they can have a shot of turning the tide. It's definitely time to get out of there
Vector.dev might be a good replacement for filebeat. Built on Rust and very efficient
Maybe Rust is close enough to this ideal imaginary Scala-like language. I'm not a Rust expert, but I really like how Rust combines power with a certain minimalism (not in the Go sense, though). There are, for example, no classes with inheritance in Rust, but traits, whereas Scala has traits an all the Java OOP heritage. Another thing is error handling that is handled with return types in Rust, where Scala has also exceptions from the JVM. Same is true for null, what probably shouldn't exist in any modern functional language. Rust doesn't have it while Scala needs it.
As someone who has worked at both companies (and is at ClickHouse presently), this -- to me -- is the best line I've read this week:

Another technique used with Java is setting the memory really high, run it for a while against mock data until it's warmed up and the compiler has JITted out all the allocations and then move to real data.

If the mock data is good, you can do the whole thing in testing and fail tests if new code introduces GC events. However the Java code you have to write end up being very C like.
I think it will go in the opposite direction. If the over-application of junior engineers is the cause of distributed spaghetti architectures then AI is set to make this much worse by driving the business cost of (virtual) junior engineer labor to near-zero.

Once AI is good enough to fully replace juniors, it will become impossible for senior developers to compete in productivity on code alone. Almost all code will be written by AI and senior talent will be operating at the higher level of wrangling AI code and containing it in some sprawling microservices spaghetti ball.

Honestly this isn't so different to the general trend of the last 6 decades. We cheaply "outsource" code to compilers and third party libraries and end up with systems that are globally inefficient but much more economical to build. AI is just going to be the new ultra high-level programming interface.
You could maybe make a stable coin work by having a progressive claw back tax on it for anyone but the bank.

I.e. after 1h the tax is 10% and down to 0 coins left.

Then there is a limit on how much outstanding coins (debt) there can be.
There is a lot of extra tooling required to manage a large non-monorepo org too.

I don't know much about this kind of architecture, but wouldn't it be problematic from an infosec standpoint? It seems like it would be very easy to accidentally leak information from the server to the client in a subtle manner if the developer makes a mistake somewhere. And in ways which would not be obvious from reading the code unless you carefully consider the implications of each e/server and e/client with respect to the mentioned graph analysis?

Are there any mitigations in place to prevent this, except the obvious "be careful and don't write bad code"? Or have I misunderstood things completely and it's a non-issue?
At those levels the temperature is the same as the groundwater.

Further down (maybe 1000m under ideal conditions) the heat comes from the core.

I think it is fair to note the ["as directed by" the New York Department of Financial Services] part of the article.

While it does seem likely that stablecoins are shakey, most financial instruments look a bit shakey. Stocks, bonds, rental houses, etc are actually all pretty unreliable looking to a new entrant. I've had to coax some friends and family into the share market and it involves making a lot of reassuring noises as they imagine their money disappearing into the den of hucksters. If this stablecoin fails, we should note that it failed after the regulators effectively required it to fail.

And, out of a feeling of obligation, the USD looks shakey. The powers that be are printing dollars like a drunken sailor, the backer of the USD is insolvent and clearly not going to pay back their debts in real terms. There is a Russia-China-Iran axis forming that would be quite happy to see the dollar become less important in world trade. This is not a recipe for success. I personally object to stable coins more because they are pegged to something that looks unreliable rather than the (presumed high) risk of the stablecoin collapsing.

That's plausible. The optimistic view would be; maybe you could train AI on your own code and have a copyright over your 'coding style'? Then you could lease out bots who code in your style and earn passive income. I have a lot of open source projects to use as training data.

[1] from the arguing style of evidently not taking into account the comment I replied to was worried about losing jobs and thinking UBI will fix that, I guess there are young people on HN who don't have kids and mortgages etc. but again, if the people who do have these things suddenly dropped to UBI and nothing else (which, I evidently must underline, is what "reduced to" means in common English usage) then those people would lose their houses etc. that they put a lot of equity in.

There have been studies which put the average age of successful founders in their mid-40s. We romanticize the kid in college making something happen, but the reality is that people need experience to see problems worth solving.

No, the market cap will decrease because the price will remain fixed (Paxos will still only pay 1USD per BUSD). But no new coins will be created. So as old ones are traded in, over time the cap will fall...

I'm not sure how this fits against profiles, which has been in Firefox since Netscape Navigator?

Does containers also allow multiple winddows to share a profile?

For example, I have a work profile, and a home profile - and each has a window for browsing (eg: hn), and a window on my laptop screen for videochat (so when I look at the chat, I don't look way above the camera - which happen if I look at my main screen).

I can move tabs between these windows too (eg: quickly read something while still "looking" at the camera).

Does containers also allow this "single container, multiple windows" use-case?
KiBot [0] is super handy for this, the documentation has an explicit section on CI/CD usage.

Teaching others is a great way to learn new things yourself.

- Often people ask about things that I wasn't even aware existed. For example someone asked how to get Svelte Inspector to work, and I discovered a wonderful tool.

- You don't really understand something until you can sell/teach it to someone else. I had implemented Functional Core, Imperative Shell[1] a few times, so I thought I understood it. However, when I tried to explain why this concept was such a game-changer to someone not familiar with functional programming, I couldn't articulate it very well. Thinking about how to persuade them really helped me organize my thoughts about it.

I really hate this style of analysis. It's transparent, yes: it's a prior being updated by evidence to produce a posterior, and you see where the rabbit goes in the hat. But this just puts a sciencism gloss on what are basically qualitative arguments.

A short version of their argument is "You might think for any number of reasons that the Syrian government launched the missile, but other peoples calculations of the launch location were wrong and ours were right so it couldn't be the government." Their prior begins at 95-5 for the government doing it, then it becomes 69-31 for the government doing it when they show a video of an anti-government guerrilla wearing a chemical hazard suit, then it becomes 7-93 in favour of the opposition once they decide they know the launch site. The launch site evidence is supposed to mean the Syrian government's probability is divided by 3 and the opposition's probability is multiplied by 15. That's the whole argument, that's where the rabbit is in the hat. After that point, no other evidence can adjust anything.

Most of the other evidence is just conjecture: they assign a 90% confidence to the evidence point "No western countries shared their evidence that the Syrian government did it" and they feel this fact is enough evidence to half their confidence in the Syrian government doing it. As proof for this, they literally say "The US says they have signals intercepts saying the Syrian government did it, but what if they actually have signals intercepts from the Syrian government asking if they did it or maybe they did admit to doing it but they were lying" This is not evidence.

This really seems like crank people trying to apply a rational choice / scientific skeptic veneer to a process of qualitative reasoning. And frankly I flicked through another ten or fifteen pages on the blog and almost everything discussed was discussed in the exact manner LessWrong/Slate Star Codex commenters would, and many of the issues being discussed were the exact issues discussed on those sites.

(I have no prior at all on the Syrian gas attacks, as I don't pretend to know anything about Syria or chemical weapons)

Well, it's pretty clear that she wants to be funded, but funding decisions in research are mostly consensus -- the field decides what's funded, and I guess she couldn't convince enough people to get funded. But how else should be? In a regime with limited funds, after it has been decided how much money to give to HEP, isn't it the best if the HEP community decides how to spend it?

Of course, she thinks spending on other work is not well directed, but others think spending it on her work is not well directed. While I think that maybe we just fund all (because really, it's not that much money -- for her group, we probably talk about a couple of shot-down balloon kind of money [Sidewinder is >300k], for several years worth of research), we do not live in that world.

I want to note, though, that this "controversy", is very important for her book sales. I am not convinced that these books actually bring the field forward.
I never played HL originally so I had no nostalgia from it, but when I tried it a few years ago it just felt very dated. Sure, the mechanics and story probably hold up. But the visuals, ui, modern niceties, etc are all absent. Just doesn’t seem worth playing when you could pick up a newer similar game instead.

HN is always telling us to be outraged when an online game is shut down, but by the time they get shut down, hardly anyone cares about playing them anyway, they moved on to newer stuff.

Which are the functions that set errno, and only errno, on failure?

In practice, you will clear errno once, and then repeatedly check for failure after every call to a libc function.

> And that errno is notably not scoped, so the code which may error should only be composed of calls to libc, or code whose interaction with libc you understand perfectly, otherwise you need to save and restore errno around uncontrolled calls.

I don't understand what this means.

It is not right. The same "collectivisation" was tried in different countries like GDR (1953 uprising), and China, great Famine, 1959. So same strategy led to same results in different countries.

For many things there are much better versions of the functions available in the operating system. For example on macOS you really should be using Core Foundation for strings, dates, etc.

In a cross-platform application you can create a platform layer that wraps OS API usage and provides a POSIX fallback for the platforms you don't directly implement.
