It depends what you value most. If you don't mind corruption, then in a lot of developing countries like SE Asia, you can have a huge amount of personal freedom by paying the (relatively cheap) occasional bribe.

If you're morally opposed to that, I'd recommend Singapore for its financial freedoms. After working there for a year, I was initially opposed to such an authoritarian government, but they're one of the rare ones who use their power to run their country very efficiently and keep out of the way of private enterprise.
I have a 100k qps workload and we run 10 pgBouncer instances. I ran into the CPU limit with 6. Connections to pgBouncer are persistent so it's not caused by connection churn. The amount of incoming connections is in the low hundreds per instance. I tried without SSL as well and it didn't make a measurable difference.

I'm not quite sure if this is a common problem or if it's our workload. It always made me wonder if moving pooling into Postgres is really a good idea.
I think that there are plenty of positive masculine people to look up to, but they’re not as well regarded likely because pro-masculine, anti-misogyny positions don’t go viral. Look at healthygamer, a twitch streamer who is a man, a gamer psychiatrist man, and literally all he does is primarily address men’s issues of loneliness, struggling to find a gf, making friends, etc. F D Signifier is a black man who is fat, has two kids and is happily married, and talks a lot about masculinity and specifically how to be a black man, even talking about how black men are hypersexualized to the point where they’re expected to welcome sexual harassment. I like Folding Ideas, he just does YouTube about things and I think that’s neat, also a cis guy.

Edited to add: healthygamer literally has a discord room with a channel just about taking photos of walking outside to prove you went and touched grass as an initiative to have an entire community cheer about people going outside. So it’s not just like one dude streaming, he’s actively community building to have healthy male mutual support networks.
What is essentialism?
What about something more general and even more text-based, like "Execute Console/Commandline Programs over SMS".

Edit: What I mean is sending text commands to a restricted shell, i.e., program launcher, over SMS. Then returning the console text output from the server over SMS to the Android user.

Yes, the precedent that they actively defend their trademark.

Well I do everything myself, I think what you said is mostly true only from the perspective of people who use orms and then everything works initially sure. But then are you really in control of your data and do you really know what's going on? I can only speak from a .net perspective now but the popular ORMs are all extremely slow, so with some research you end up using dapper. But then you end up basically writing SQL manually because that's just how it is. It wouldn't be any different for many languages, like Rust. Essentially I think unless you use java+hibernate or some other extremely common combination, you'll end up writing SQL yourself and then it's pretty painful anyway because you have a second textual DSL embedded into your other code with its own datatypes that you constantly have to map to the language's datatypes and vice versa. So iteration wise it doesnt even seem to be about mysql vs scylladb, it is about orm vs. no orm.

And regarding correctness and iteration speed.. yes sure but it's easy to say that you are correct when you only run on a single node. The reason why those distributed solutions are less correct is because it's harder to be correct. For example in vitess you end up having to do a bunch of manual work with their sequences for every table. In scylladb afaik you just trust that the timeuuids are unique or you do the same and pregenerate bigints into a table.

My point is: To say that mysql/postgres are safer because they are correct and you can iterate faster is only true if you go down a very narrow path with your orm and you stay on a single node. You are essentially postponing all the pain. At some point you'll stop using the orm and write your own, at some point you'll stop using the single node.

Current Pypi implementation requires custom onboarding of each new OIDC provider on Pypi server, so you are completely right. However, OIDC protocol (and JWT token used by it) is pretty flexible, so it should not be challenging to add new publishers (it's mostly about mapping token field to new configuration form).

I'm hoping it's targeted towards folks that have intermittent issues. HealthKit has fields defined to store some information about various physical and mental symptoms and also nutrition, but there isn't a good way to populate the fields in iOS 16 and earlier. Some of the fields have been around since iOS 8, but Apple has regularly added to the list through iOS 16.

Even if the app doesn't do any correlation, it will be very helpful to have the data collected into HealthKit so your health care provider has good data to work with.
>I want an iPhone but don't want to use Apple's services

If you don't want Apple's services then neither iOS nor MacOS can satisfactorily work for you. Their products are built on the assumption that you will immerse or have immersed yourself completely in their ecosystem, trying to use one on its own is a horrible experience.
That’s definitely true but I don’t think it’s that simple. I love some of the apps that are iOS native and how their preferential treatment makes everything work with security I trust.

BUT, I still prefer Google Maps, non-Safari browsers, Spotify over Apple Music, Feedly/my browser over Apple News.

I agree that it’s problematic that apps made by the OS developer receive preferential treatment, but I haven’t personally found that to mean that the experience is better than third party apps.
An iPhone without iCloud is so much better than an Android phone without a Google account.

He did have a bit of help along the way. Even if their contributions were smaller, it's sick to pretend they're zero.

AIUI he owns the majority of the voting rights but not of the total shares. He still has a duty to act in the interests of the shareholders as a group, and can be sued if he does not. Beyond the merely legal to the moral, he has duties to other stakeholders as well, and to society.

> At what point of scale do people start imagining they have a right to make demands on how something somebody else built and owns should be run?

"Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose." Others contributed. Others are affected. Those facts give them some right, however small, to make such demands. The only situation in which someone has sole right to make every possible decision is an utter vacuum. Does he or the company operate in a vacuum?
This is simply untrue, especially for Macs.
Yeah I always laugh when I see people complain about people in the humanities scooping up grant funding. Like, NEH is already basically defunct. When I was in grad school for CS I was on a seven figure grant. My wife is a history professor. Her grants regularly run like $3,000. There is already no money being funneled to the humanities, but people choose to shit on it them incessantly because they haven't the faintest clue how funding works or even what the research output of the humanities looks like.
Is this the whole story? Seems really at odds with Apple's strategy for Device Activity[1], available only as a first-party feature at first but in iOS 14 also becoming available as an API to third party apps.

I see a parallel between a journaling app and HealthKit[2], where the latter is like basically a health and exercise journal for things like step counts[3] and medications[4]. It could follow a similar trajectory and eventually be made available as an API to third-party apps.

While I agree about your conclusion (propaganda) I disagree about your metrics.

First, there are no sources of energy that are carbon free, only those who's energy production does not result in carbon emissions. This is why we say zero "net" emissions and why so many are working on sequestration methods (reforestation, soil management, natural sequestration, artificial sequestration). All your arguments are universal and not unique to nuclear, renewables, nor fossil fuels.

Second, the "and" in the thesis is important. The line did not make the claim that renewables are not carbon-free, but rather that of zero-emission generators, renewables are insufficient to power the grid alone.

Reading the article, it isn't too bad. There's a clear bias and ignores some aspects, it isn't too different from any other opinion piece. It at least isn't making the absurd argument that nuclear should be even the dominant producer of energy. I think the author would agree that renewables play an important role in our future of energy but they are making the argument to not take nuclear off the table and trying to convince others (aka propaganda) with an exaggerated and incomplete argument.

I agree that the article is deserving of criticism but I think we need to be a bit more specific. I also agree that the article is propaganda, but I do not agree that just because something is propaganda that it can be trivially dismissed. The word is too vague and encompasses all discussions where politics is part of the discussion. The word is like "conspiracy", common usage does not reflect the actual definition and is often used to dismiss a claim rather than address it.

Propaganda:

> information, ̶e̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶a̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶l̶e̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶n̶a̶t̶u̶r̶e̶, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
On the other hand, the number of outside companies I trust to have access to all that data is exactly zero. Even Apple themselves are only trustworthy because their core business is selling expensive devices to the user, rather than selling the user to advertisers.
Honestly I agree, it's a matter of perspective and even most self described left or right-wing outlets will have journalists who occasionally write articles that swing the other way.

That said you can find the publishers they use in this list https://github.com/joshwallerr/newsnotfound/blob/main/scrape... if you want to make your own decision.

Further I want to add I don't think this is a bad idea, I just think the idea of collecting "unbiased news", although desirable, is unfortunately impossible. The idea and model they've developed however may be very good.

I would have thought it had something to do with almost all men being able to physically overpower almost all women. Which might also guide how which risks women are willing to take compared to men.

> So men's health deserves to be an issue only because it may impact children well-being

You say 'only because it may impact children', the article says 'and it has implication for the rest of the family'.

That rather changes the statement.
Most public offices he could run for would put him in a generalist position, with various public facing and non-technical aspects that he is not suited to or qualified to handle. I want him to be able to completely and wholly run the show for just his one narrow specialty.

This isn't an option at all because our institutions don't adapt to the territory we often find ourselves in. We have a political alignment problem that exacerbates the technical alignment problems.

I would like to have something like the concept of senators, but not as location-based representatives, who are strictly assigned nothing more than to lead senate committees related to issues that we separately apportion funds and power to via direct democracy.
you asking people?
Valve is working hard to change that.
I don't really agree with this... there is a parallel issue.

If AIs are doing most of the work in megacorps (especially if robotics take off), then basically all profit is going to the owners and tiny groups of executive AI "managers."

I suggest you look into the decay rate of fallout and the relative amount of nuclear material in bombs vs power plants.

There’s just not that much nuclear material in a given bomb (and the whole point is to release as much energy as possible as quickly as possible), whereas Chernobyl is dangerous because the elephants foot is gigantic and still uranium.

PRC is currently building indigenous nuclear relatively economically which appear to be performing around expectations. What happened / what PRC can't seem to do, like the west, is build _western_ nuclear tech economically. Rollout past decade has been delayed largely due Fukushima reassessement and drama over western nuclear tech (French EPR / US AP1000 technical and political issues & US sanctions / Westinghouse bankruptcy) forcing PRC to switch to domestic tech. Current 14th 5-year plan still aiming for ~180-200 GWe by 2035 with ~150 reactors, which is in line with mid 2010s assessments. What is also happening is PRC scaling up coal and solar, due to geopolitics of rushing energy security and lower renewable costs, but not at the expense of nuclear rollout.

I hope journaling can help Siri/iOS be much smarter. For instance, it should know the podcast app I am using and when I put in my AirPods and press/say Play, just play the last podcast I had open - not the music app which I never use. I shouldn't have to configure that. The OS should just know.
The server is back up and running - it turns out that CDMA networks continue to be an issue, and the queue of WebViews was being depleted as any WebView that received a malformed string failed. I fixed that, but the string should never have made it all the way to the webview in the first place, so that was also fixed.
It's pretty much impossible to write an article about issues that disproportionately affect men and boys without first establishing that other groups have it worse and signing off with facts about how it's actually their fault anyway. You see this in every discussion about men/boys neglected in education or having worse health outcomes and life expectancy.
I didn't insinuate anything, I said flat out what I meant. And it seems I guessed right. Your experience is clearly not the usual way it goes.

> Alternatively, how much do you think the European Parliament has slowed development of new USB connectors? Are we all going to love USB-C as much in 20 years as we do today? How could a new and improved connector even distinguish itself for consideration?

The first USB flash drive was in the 2000s so at least then. It's hard to find when hijacking via USB was first a thing, if only because the more popular route is either plug in a replacement ECU, which supports tuning out of the box, or via a USB -> OBDII/other non-usb-port on car, which I don't think quite counts.

Have you actually used MacOS without perusing Apple's services? It's horrible, because MacOS is designed with the assumption the user has an Apple account.

It's not obnoxious like Windows 11's badgering for a Microsoft account, but it manifests in parts of MacOS (namely anything to do with the App Store) flat out refusing to work until an Apple account is provided.

I may have to make a throwaway Apple account just so I can do something as mundanely basic as updating the system applications.

This is good news.

For those who don't know, journalling apps universally suck. Especially when it comes to security.

Day One, the canonically recommended app, doesn't even locally encrypt their entries, so basically anybody can access it despite the veneer of a password on the app.
Journaling is a good way to accumulate training data for the AI to understand the behavior of the device owner. I suppose that is the purpose.

The equivalent of your $4500 motorcycle is the $4000 - $6000 mini EVs sold in second-tier chinese cities[1], the best-known of which is probably the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV[2]. There are many reviews of them on Youtube, some in English by native english speakers. These EVs have the same number of airbags as motorcycles, but more seatbelts.

Edit: apparently they now have more airbags than motorcycles, as well as more roll cages and other safety features.

Better yet is just getting rid of it. It's unconstitutional ("full faith and credit shall not be questioned"), if the Treasury decided to ignore it nobody would have standing to sue anyway, and it's just redundant: Congress already has the power of the purse, if they want to cut spending, they can propose a budget which does this. The debt ceiling is nothing but Congress shirking its responsibility.
Do you see any overlap between something like Roam and this?
In nature, might makes right. It makes sense to me that men reap the “lion’s share of power and resources” simply because they can take them from women, not because of men taking more risks (which I am not sure how one can make that statement anyway since men and women are exposed to very different risks that are not easily comparable in magnitude).
I will personally pay you a $100 if this even gets close to happening in the next 1000 years.

A good friend of mine is an assistant professor of CS at MIT. He is among the most premier researchers in his field. I'm paid about three times what he is paid working in industry. My wife is a professor of history at a well respected R1 institution. I'm paid like nine times what she is paid. If we compare my salary to the adjuncts at her institution, I'm paid more than 10x what they are earning. All this after the pay cuts for remote work.

Paying Bjarne a lot of money is not remotely representative of the state of academic salaries.
