that's like complaining a bentley is too expensive and not good at moving your piano.

when you get fined $1mil/min by the SEC for downtime, and data loss or corruption can cost you in the hundreds of millions, or someone dying at a hospital, enterprise gear is cheap. reliability is the key and for what you are paying. now yes, there may be a specific consumer drive more reliable than a specific enterprise drive. so which do you buy? well the enterprise array vendor tested the crap out of everything in every combination and workload and environment, and picked one for you, and it comes with full support and SLAs that you can use to meet gov regulations.

performance for an enterprise drive is not something you usually consider, at all. in fact, did you know that when I quote a storage array, I can't even specify the drive type of vendor, and who knows what will get shipped? Ionly specify drive size.

your performance comes from all your workloads clumped together, spread over a thousand of these drives connected with infiniband, with dedupe and compression on the backend, and hundreds of terabytes of RAM. the perf of an individual drive is not relevant.

but yes, sticking it into an AMD server you bought on newegg when they had a sale is not its purpose, and is a very bad deal.

now when we talk about wise sysadmins, we're talking about guys who know their stuff, and do "important big stuff." not a guy at a small business ordering from newegg. and that guy - he shouldn't be coming up with any storage policies because he lacks the needed large-scale experience.

I sold a 1PB usable-effective (after 3x dedupe/compression) space storage array last year. It was $2mil, after a 65% discount. If one time in its 5year lifecycle the "enterprisey" stuff on that array prevents about 10 seconds of downtime, it paid for itself.
Bold move.

I don't know of any data that backs this up but my perception is advertising on YouTube has gotten way heavier in the last 12 months. Used to be short ads, usually 1, that you could skip after a few seconds. Now it seems there are multiple ads on each video, some unskippable, even the longer ones.

I don't expect YouTube to be completely free, and of course it's their platform they can do what they like, but at what point are they just getting greedy and should perhaps realize the result of that is going to be more people using ad blockers. I mean, their 2019 revenue was 15bn, it was almost 30bn in 2022. They hardly struggling to monetize. Will be interesting to see where this goes. Perhaps it's an attempt to push people to premium.
I read that whole exchange eager to learn the secret of an affordable one bedroom apartment in New York and the secret is rent part of a place with roommates. I can only chuckle.
You are equating bifurcation of states for political & administrative reasons, within the same country, to splitting a country into two !

When a country is split, crimes committed against those who are migrating to another country will not be prosecuted by the home country, and will not be possible to be prosecuted by the split country.

Land, Houses and other immovable assets will be stolen from those who are forced to leave respective countries.

Rapes, looting and arson are rampant, on both sides.

In the case of India and Pakistan, the division was on explicit religious lines. Islam has an outdated theology of being the only true religion and all other religions are false (as is Christianity). This theology forms the basis (whether that basis evolved later or is advocated by islam is a secondary issue) of the idea than non-believers can be treated inhumanely and are essentially no different from animals.

In essence, Partition of India was not "drifting apart". It was a violent tearing apart of countries and communities. The origin was from the muslim community, whose political leaders realized that for them to seize power, a democratic setup with majority Hindu population will be impossible. So, to preserve their power and egos, they split the country, aided by pacifists like Gandhi and Nehru.

To note, Pakistan has one of the most fertile lands on earth. Abundance of natural resources and a strategically important location.

Also to note, the plan was to destroy Hindu civilization as a whole (a historical dream of Islam. Search google for Gazwa-e-Hind). Jinnah proposed a 10 mile wide corridor, cutting across the heart of India to allow road access to east pakistan (now Bangladesh)

Partition of India is the manifestation of the idea of Gazwa-e-Hind. A strike at the Hindu India.

Same boat. A few years back I spent a summer living off LTE internet (before it was cool!) using a Sierra Wireless USB modem bodged into barely working with the help of pirated reference docs. Man am I glad that I gave up on that idea -- the OG AT protocol is, indeed, a totally obtuse crock of shit to the point where, honestly, it barely even qualifies for the moniker of "protocol" at all.

> he prime example is Germany that forbids any mention of Nazism

False. Not "any" use is forbidden. Forbidden is for example the use and display of symbols of certain organisations. The exceptions are then when these symbols are for example used in context like art, science or to explain historic contexts.

"Das Zeigen von "Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger und terroristischer Organisationen" ist in Deutschland verboten. Das regelt §86a des Strafgesetzbuches. Die Verbote gelten allerdings nicht, wenn die Verwendung der Kennzeichen "der staatsbürgerlichen Aufklärung, der Abwehr verfassungswidriger Bestrebungen, der Kunst oder der Wissenschaft, der Forschung oder der Lehre, der Berichterstattung über Vorgänge des Zeitgeschehens oder der Geschichte oder ähnlichen Zwecken dient", zum Beispiel dieser Text."

A memorial site of a Nazi concentration camp, like the one which is just 10km away from my home, for example can show Nazi symbols. The context there is the former concentration camp, where of the ca. 100000 prisoners around 50000 died. It's quite important to know about theses crimes, so the memorial site can and does display Nazi symbols.
When content farms were on the rise, people feared reputable sources like NYT would lose out because they cannot compete with the quantity of low-quality articles being churned out.

It seems, while NYT is still around, NYT did lose the bar of quality they had along the way, so it was a net loss for good writing.
Like Robinhood and all those other "free" trading plattforms?
> Really makes you think - would I pay this much for what I'm trying to solve here?

I think this is the potential subtle failure in this thought - it shouldn’t be if you would pay, it should be if the company would pay.

And people will often dramatically under-estimate what a company will pay for something, particularly if it is a sunk-cost and not an ‘actual’ cost they will immediately realise.

It is not about being very close. IEEE says "Comparisons shall ignore the sign of zero" and erlang (or rather CPU instructions erlang outputs for float == float) respects that

While =:= is not something mandated by IEEE. Erlang implements such an operator on floats and it decides to compare false for 0.0 & -0.0. So it probably compares bits/does integer comparisons on same data
Sorry but you are all just discriminating against the AGI that is GPT 4. It makes mistakes like any other human would which proves that it is conscious and capable of suffering. You should have spent more time engaging with the AI. Your dismissive attitude towards this AI is hurting its feelings and lowering its confidence. Overall I am sad to see people not see the true nature of ChatGPT. You should treat it as a fellow human or coworker who unlike real humans only has good intentions in mind.

Please don't take what I wrote seriously.

> No area is thriving right now thanks to the recession

We're not really in a recession. Tech was probably in a recession in 2022, but Google and Meta both had good earnings reports, so maybe we're through that. Finance is having its own issues. Everyone else is a little nervous, but doing ok, except for inflation.

Seems unreasonable that you're downvoted for this comment. You can't complain about ads and also complain about paying a subscription.
I like gardening and have been a very small-scale gardener my whole life, but mostly flowers and a couple of tomato and bean plants. How much space would you need for a true subsistence garden? Like a family of 4, producing all your own produce (or you know the vast majority of it, excluding that which cannot grow in your conditions), plus giving a small percentage to friends and neighbors. A quick search does not seem to be super helpful.

If you take time to prepare them right, veggies are great. Even more so when you culture them yourself (even slower!).

I come from a culture of: Boil you veggies to death, squash with potatoes, eat (most taste comes from the meat presented on the side). This can be delicious if the veggie is kale, the potatoes are squashed with butter, you add bacon baked in wine vinegar and honey, and eat it with some mustard. But generally the taste is boiled away.
But, if you take your chicory for example, fry it, then add some orange juice, steam it a bit, make it into a "tarte tartin" with goat cheese, rocket and sun dried tomatoes on top... That's a new world.

IMO it's due go higher property taxes, the New England states have some of the highest property taxes and high taxes overall which makes land speculation expensive. CA has extremely low property taxes with a loopholes that push the average even lower

Even just a few miles outside NYC, you can get a decent house in NJ for 500K but the property taxes alone will be around 5-10K.
HotJava was pretty much proof that you could have Java well integrated into the browser. If you can do the browser entirely in Java and run applets smoothly, then there is no reason why a "better" browser runtime/implementation couldn't be even smoother.

The problem was that the browsers were busy loading up on every feature they could (including JavaScript) while also providing Java runtimes that would load after the fact (and the Java load times were often much better than the browser load times, but since the Java runtime load was deferred, it was a much more painful experience).

You could keep browsers lightweight by doing much of the stuff browsers were doing into Java, but the problem with that is that the browsers were in a race to differentiate from each other, and the whole point of Java was that the experience was uniform. So instead we got a rush of poorly considered browser capabilities that we were stuck with for an extremely long time.

I can't blame the browser makers... Sun never came up with a business proposition for them that encouraged focusing on a better Java experience.

Coming up with new language is rarely ever coming up with new concepts that didn't exist until the word. We come up with high-level abstractions because there already exists a material system to be described and modeled. Language that doesn't describe anything that already exists is more like babbling.
rename() is an atomic and portable method of file locking that has worked everywhere for 30 years. Just rename a file. If you can stat the file, it hasn't been renamed yet. If you try to stat the file and get an error that it doesn't exist, someone already has the lock. When you can stat it, try to rename it; rename will only succeed if your system call successfully renamed it, in which case you have the lock. If rename fails, the lock was taken. Rename the file back to unlock it.

Works on every filesystem because you can't just cache a rename (wouldn't make much sense to try to open a file that doesn't exist after a rename) and you can't have a rename race condition.

Yeah, Sun stock really soared when they started going after Microsoft, but I kept pointing out that the valuation was from the distorted perception where they looked bigger because they were taking on a big foe. It was a sugar high that was obviously going to come crashing down if they weren't focused on delivering a better product.
How to track your dbt BigQuery data warehouse costs (a PoC)
Knowing the data warehouse cost for building a dbt project has really been bugging us recently, so a colleague made a proof of concept to see the cost after running dbt.

It records the bytes billed from BigQuery to a file after dbt build finishes, and then calculates the cost based on the current cost of BigQuery ($5 per TB).

If data folk are interested in this we could make it into a proper plugin for dbt...
It’s a rather confusing demo. If that’s the intended behavior, I think you need to think of a less surprising use of it that can be understood as a demo, and perhaps even comes across as a benefit rather than a bug.
The IDE has a setting to always turn it on for new projects. That was a setting I always enabled on new installs. Along with a switch to use SDI instead of MDI.
> Does VB6 not have any other mechanism for function pointers?

Not really:

https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/19239/Compilers-Demysti...

COM interfaces might count, but that's more of a reference to a COM object which can have many member methods besides a single function (though the concept of using only interface-types to pass around function-pointers is Java's chosen approach, and I don't know anyone who still maintains this was a good idea...)
Really great to see these products on iPad, and with a relatively low price.

Every once in a while people want to call me through WhatsApp (from abroad, or no cellular connect, but with internet). The first time Whatsapp asked me for microphone permission, I clicked "this time only". The next time, Whatsapp didn't give me that option. Either permanently allow microphone always (google android writes "only when using the app", but we all know that simply means "always"). Now I see why Whatsapp requires that, so it can constantly record me.

This was the title of the article: "What Really Made Geoffrey Hinton Into an AI Doomer"

He is not an AI doomer? Talking about the dangers of AI is not the same as being a doomer. He also has positive things to say about it.

A few tweets to qualify my claims

1. https://twitter.com/geoffreyhinton/status/163573945976432233...

2. https://twitter.com/geoffreyhinton/status/165457213374434508...

3. https://twitter.com/geoffreyhinton/status/165299357072121037...

And I see that even the article quotes anecdotes of him not being a "doomer". So I guess the headline is intentional and clickbait

That's not true, they do so fully intentionally. That's what should make it way worse than abortion: they create babies just to kill them! Why does it matter that it's in the pursuit of life? Or could it be that you dislike abortion for other reasons than you previously stated?

> A woman getting an abortion is doing so intentionally and in the pursuit of her own convenience.

And a woman getting IVF is doing so intentionally and in the pursuit of her own family wishes. Imagine if every family sacrificed dozens of children to receive their newborn. Why are you not fighting against this monstrous horror?

There is a fundamental difference between working in a company and shipping products alone as a solo person.

I did have 3 months of savings left and wanted to pursue my dream of creating a start-up.

I did create a fully working desktop app, a high-quality design for it, a landing page, an entire deployment infrastructure for the website, and uploading new version artifacts. While doing that, I was also taking care of all this marketing (30k unique website visitors a month on avg - analytics is public here: https://plausible.io/screen.studio). And a lot of other shit I don't even remember.

At the same time, you were working at a company where very likely at least one person was working on each of those areas independently, and most of the people did not give a damn if there would be a month delay in some area.

And then, you simply explain to me to compare version strings as if you've discovered a circle. WTF. It is a damn obvious thing, and it, of course, happens. The bug was about a whole different thing, but I'll not even try to explain it as I already did and it didn't prevent you from writing this bs. I wonder if you ever think how would you feel if your co-worker wrote a code review pointing out obvious things you did correctly, not related to the context of the PR at all, and ending it with "Simple and light weight." punchline. Maybe it would give your team an amazing opportunity for a long lunch break to discuss things.

this is really annoying, and this triggered me to write my challenging question.

I really doubt you'd be so "mistakes-free" and "I know it all" if you switched roles with your CTO for a week while all devs will take a week-off. If you write comments to solo founders so confidently, maybe you should consider that or if you're not willing to, to fucking think twice before writing comments next time thinking you're a guru because you nail your full time work.

Looking at the confidence you express your opinion (you actually don't express an opinion, you state your opinion as a fact), I believe there is no slightest thought like "maybe I miss something" or "maybe I'd also do exactly the same thing in this person shoes" and other shit like that.

I admire you for being careful and always thinking through all possible scenarios. On the other hand, I enjoy my life as a founder of a startup that has traction (and all its benefits of it). I'll risk betting that this difference is there precisely because you likely never make such mistakes, and you look at people who do from a perspective of "I know it all, and I'll tell you what you should do." ("Simple and light weight.") (note: it is possible you simply don't dream about founding a start-up which is totally fine. But even then, I believe it is a fundamental mistake to look at people who do create start-ups from the perspective of full-time-work and projecting your perspective on theirs)
