Between Flink, Spark and KSQL, streaming is very JVM centric. It is nice to see more non JVM projects emerge.

I am not sure about your premise that the operations side is difficult. It tends to be submitting a job to a cluster in Flink or Spark.

The harder barrier to entry is the functional style of transformation code. Even though other frameworks have it, I think the SQL API as the first class citizen is the bigger differentiator.

My brother in law is a bee keeper and we were able to catch 2 wild honey bees swarms this year. A couple days after they swarm he takes them him and marks the queen. This is so they'll know if it’s someone else’s swarm from near by.

Another thing he does is break apart large hives. He’ll keep them a few miles away so they don’t go back to the original hive. When he brings them over them will do these figure 8’s and start orienting themselves with the sun. Very cool to watch.

I mean, I agree that he should have leaked it publicly because I'm "publicly" and I want to see it. But I think it's pretty unarguably true that if you feel it is incumbent on you to leak classified materials and are unwilling to go Snowden and flee the US, then your best bet for not being arrested is to give the documents to Congress so they can support your testimony and protect you from retaliation, then not go to the media so the Pentagon doesn't hate your guts.

This is rampant and goes well beyond Dell. Take the Black Friday "deals", particularly on TVs. Retailers are known to slowly rise prices leading up to Black Friday to be able to advertise a steep "discount" (which honestly isn't that steep).

'I do not wish to be part of such discussion'

You started it though by retranslating BBC's speculations but back down when merits of blowing up dam are questioned.

"I think there is no a proper time to blow the dam just like I think the whole russian aggression ‘was’ and ‘is’ pointless to begin with. "

No intention to argue with that, but the dam is blown anyway and somebody did blow it up.

It may be blown by Russia, but again it may be not.

Take the NordStream comedy -- many actors, starting from Kiev, were trying to blame Russia for the explosions and inventing bizarre reasons for that and look at the headlines now -- 'U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline' [0].

So who should I talk to about reasons for Russia to blow up NordStream?

Mildly weird piece, in that it's really measuring two things; lighting efficiency (and only at an extremely low resolution, implying a whole-system efficiency that doesn't change between the invention of the light bulb and the fluorescent light) and wage growth. 60 hours of work may have bought 72 hours of electric light in 1880, but rather more in 1990, say, for a combination of both reasons.

That said, LED bulbs do still feel like a bit of a sea-change; since they showed up, lighting is cheap enough that most people don't really have to think about it at all.

I don't think "gamers" or the general population agree with your definition on true games.

Nintendo single player games are often considered the gold standard of games in different genres. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon are all household names.

I do think your points were interesting, so thanks for sharing!
It's more moving part than it should be, but it's not so bad - I set up an equivalent locally in one evening. Sure beats keeping my private server logs off-site.
The golden standard is ITU-T P.808 subject test https://github.com/microsoft/P.808
Of course, running a subjective test is expensive, and hence, there are objective scores such as DNSMOS and UTMOS which use neural networks to predict P808 values.
There’s usecases beyond just ML. Sap Hana could theoretically run on this with greater performance. Same goes for a database. Scaling vertically solves a lot of challenges with distributed ledgers.

Being able to sit back and have a big bunch o'disks that I can just add and remove devices to is convenient when combined with BTFS raid1: data will be present on at least two disks, I don't care which. I don't think ZFS is able to do this. It's obviously more suited for serious enterprise use where you have plans and budgets... ;)

(Once I too have my data eaten by it I'll no doubt be very grumpy, then again that's what backups are for so...)

More seriously, I'd give ZFS a go but it's still too much of a pain in the arse to use with Linux. If even Oracle Unbreakable Linux can't integrate it properly then what hope does anyone else have?

"Think this all the way through - why did Reddit do these things? To attract more users and to generate revenue."

> How exactly is Reddit a "porn filled shit hole"? I don't see any porn in the vast majority of subreddits. Nobody forces you to visit the rest, and they are typically even marked adult-only.

My bad, I should have said "reddit is a porn spammer filled shit hole" on top of really being a "porn filled shit hole" /s

The fact that you feign being oblivious to all the CSAM, depraved porn and revenge porn hosted on reddit really doesn't make any difference.
I don’t entirely disagree, but I think you lean too far in seeing the world as entirely populated by independent individuals whose actions don’t affect others.

I am 100% fine with seat belt laws because other peoples’ fatality collisions affect me financially and in traffic jams.

Society is a complex system and I don’t think “just let everyone do whatever they want” is a great answer when many of those things impact others, directly or indirectly.
> How do you build a system around a database where values can no longer be valid at any time?

This is a difficult problem, and there aren't nice general solutions. If you read the original Amazon Dynamo paper, for example, there's a good discussion of why eventual consistency is OK for their applications (https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/amazon-dynamo-sos...), and more in Werner Vogel's CACM article from two years later (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1435417.1435432).

There are conceptual frameworks (like CALM https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.01930.pdf) that provide a way to reason through the behavior of systems under eventual consistency (and provide a path to data structures with behavior that's easier to reason about than last-writer-wins).

> My script abandons the C(onsistency) of CAP and maintains (A)vailability and (P)artition tolerance.

I'd recommend you check out "Rethinking Eventual Consistency" (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/rethink...). PACELC is a better tool than CAP for thinking about this stuff, but Figure 1 in that paper is even better. Specifically, there is no need to abandon either availability or consistency in the majority partition.

The confusion here comes from CAP's unhelpful use of "total availability", which isn't a system property that most datacenter applications care about. Mobile, IoT, and other frequently-disconnected applications do care about it.
I don't think I projected that vibe. I knew ahead of time that the architecture interview was going to be the hardest part for me, and made an effort to show that while I had gaps in my knowledge, I wasn't going to be afraid to ask questions and have discussions to make it possible to get work done. I have a bit of an aversion to unearned overconfidence so I like to think that I did not project that in the interview, but obviously I can't experience myself from the interviewers perspective.

When I interview junior candidates, attitude, interest, and capacity for learning are more important to me than specific knowledge.

Anyway though, it was their choice, and I clearly didn't demonstrate what they wanted to see. Not getting that job left me in the right place at the right time for a job that I really love, so... ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
We have a small core module with its core GraphQL schema and additional modules which are all extending this core module. We want to have the liberty to leverage those modules in various applications for the needs of our clients.

To give you some examples, in one use case our modules are used within desktop applications running locally, in a couple others they are used in regular web applications, in another they are embedded in a Java server running inside a VS Code extension (no network connection required everything runs locally). Sometimes we have our regular frontend modules which are performing some queries to our backend modules but in the VS Code extension for example, the VS Code integrations performs other kind of queries to our backend modules.

Each modules bring some capabilities and our projects can take those capabilities and reuse some or all of them.
Um, I'm sorry to say, but nuclear fusion is possible or we wouldn't exist. Otherwise the universe would be made out of mostly hydrogen and a little helium. I mean Bikini Atoll has a 2 mile wide hole in it because of fusion weapons. And just a few months ago we shot some lasers at a deuterium pellet and got more energy out of it than we put in (caveats apply). There is movement towards a goal.

Honestly what you are arguing at about at this time is timelines, not ability. I mean if want to say that faster than light travel isn't going to happen, or we're never going to have wormholes, or string theory isn't going to produce anything useful I'll be right there beside you. But when something already exists (human intelligence) and humanity is pouring billions in time and effort into reproducing it, I'm on humanities side of succeeding.
> Indie Devs should be thinking of games as products to complete first and foremost.

Large studios should keep this in mind as well.

Thanks! I started working at a C compiler shop near the end of the '80s, and I don't recall knowing that this had been under way for so long already. (Though, we did freestanding targets, often with no conventional I/O, so locales would have been the last thing on our minds.)

According to the link you posted, I think you're talkong about lemmygrad.ml. lemmy.ml is hosted by the original Lemmy developers.
The trouble is though that you also have state in Python which can’t necessarily be represented in Javascript, such as a database connection. You could pickle it, but accepting a user-provided pickled value is a security risk. Also, doing so would leak database credentials, and recreating the state on the server every event is expensive anyway (especially when the state is something like a pandas dataframe). It’s better to just have one dedicated machine per application session that holds the state for the duration of the app.
It really is very simple from a hardware standpoint. You have a little box in the execution unit with two regular inputs and one single bit input and one regular output. Once you have adds with carry you already have to have that structure of inputs in place, which has implications throughout your scheduler, but adding CSINC at that point is almost trivial.

Complicated things migth be something like division, which can take multiple cycles during which that functional block is busy, or a floating point addition where there are all sorts of complicated rules involving implicit global state around rounding and subnormal and NaNs. Or, most terrifying of all, a load which might target a memory that's been paged out and so require you to bring all the scores of instructions in flight to a halt, switch over to OS code, page in the memory, and then resume as if that one load instruction was the only thing executing at the time the exception happened.
That's fine but we can have a "device UUID" and "filesystem UUID" as separate constructs and then the complaint remains valid. It's okay for it to fail if you dd and try to mount (suboptimal, but okay), but it should never silently start breaking things while appearing to work.

I can't speak to parent's practice but the cancer centers I've worked at follow the NCCN guidelines (apart from patients enrolled in trials, although this is also a NCCN recommendation) and many cases are reviewed in multi-disciplinary conferences to homogenize practice within an institution.

Although guidelines are just that (i.e. not mandatory to adhere to) I really doubt an oncologist in US/Canada "practices as they please".
This hits pretty hard, but reasonates as true in many orgs.

Trying to see where else we have the same dynamic, CI came to mind.

CI is often pretty slow, and I've had jobs where it take 20 min for the full results (lint, compile, tests, etc) to come out. It was a pain point raised to management, we complained of lost productive hours against it, and tbe answer was to trim down tests and split the cose base, instead of "just" paying for faster CI instances.

I'd expect other orga to take more sensible choices, but in general getting budget for tooling feels hard.

> SWEs who are able to wring better performance out of less hardware resources are going to become more valuable in the future.

As much as I'd like for this prediction to come true, I think it's wishful thinking. Compute capacity continues to increase exponentially while (human) cognitive resources, for all practical purposes, do not, which means less efficient code will continue to be the more economically viable option as far as I can tell.

Even with AI, where we're essentially trading compute (used for running code) for extended cognitive resources (used for writing code), what incentive exists to channel those resources into writing faster code rather than writing the same code faster?

It’s a fair point but 1/ Apple for the most part didn’t start it’s product journey for any of the other products you’ve mentioned with the ‘Pro’ version - its strategy has generally been to get people to fall in love with the regular version and convince them they want more of it, doubly true when they’re introducing a new category product and 2/ It’s strange because I own many of those fully specced out things you mention, and this leaves me utterly cold. Fwiw, I also own a Kindle.
It depends on what kind of game you want. In many games scripted events are fine, but a game like Skyrim would feel much more alive if NPCs could do more than walk back and forth all day. In those cases scripting becomes a lot of work very quickly - the Mass Effect series had a lot of different outcomes based on player choices, in the end the final game was disappointingly linear and predictable and handling thousands of possibilities turned out to be a bit much. Immersive game worlds could use a lot of improvements.

And how does that weigh toward the benefits of not having phones in schools? Or compared to having non-smart phones that can only call parents or 911?

I’m glad you’re privileged enough to “deal” with social media with your kids. Monitoring whether I’m dealing with it is really hard, so I’m glad you’ve figured it out. But there are many other parents and kids without your privilege that are suffering from phones.

Allowing phones to add some unquantified benefit during a school shooting rate event they will not impact 999:1000 kids seems like a selfish decision to justify how I want to raise my kids not thinking about everyone else.

Kids with phones get the same PTSD during a school shooting as kids without phones.

PTSD accounts for .6% of suicides in men and 3.5% of suicides in women [0]. I can’t find exactly comparable rates for social media, but studies show it has a 3x multiplier in depression for kids [1] and the increase in suicide that brings.

No need to rhyme.

So if our goal is reducing suicide, I think allowing phones to mitigate some small, unknown fraction of PTSD from a 1:1000 chance school shooting is not wise.

I think adults are also misusing phones and quite addicted and suffering from harm and we project our decisions onto kids. But I think we should work to protect kids from our mistakes.

We shouldnt try to justify kids smirking because we smoke. But it seems like we’re smoking away and saying that it’s ok that kids smoke too because of the spurious benefits of smoking. Like the old ad that said smoking was beneficial to moms because the low fetus weight at birth made vaginal birth easier. (This ended up being a fake photoshop [2])

But bringing up how kids can livestream their school shooting to reduce PTSD seems like such a similarly farcical reach when the complaint is that kids are misusing phones and suffering increased rates of depression, self-harm, and suicide.

Local surface gravity varies by up to a ten-thousandth, about .001 m/s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal_(unit)

Sensitive detectors can measure differences in hundreds of millionths (10^-8 parts) or around .1 um/s^2.
