There are many "holes" in these containers.

1. fsync. You cannot "divide" it between containers. Whoever does it, stalls I/O for everyone else.

2. Context switches. Unless you do a lot of configurations outside of container runtime, you cannot ensure exclusive access to the number of CPU cores you need.

3. Networking has the same problem. You would either have to dedicate a whole NIC or SRI-OV-style virtual NIC to your database server. Otherwise just the amount of chatter that goes on through the control plane of something like Kubernetes will be a noticeable disadvantage. Again, containers don't help here, they only get in the way as to get that kind of exclusive network access you need more configuration on the host, and, possible an CNI to deal with it.

4. kubelet is not optimized to get out of your way. It needs a lot of resources and may spike, hindering or outright stalling database process.

5. Kubernetes sucks at managing memory-intensive processes. It doesn't work (well or at all) with swap (which, again, cannot be properly divided between containers). It doesn't integrate well with OOM killer (it cannot replace it, so any configurations you make inside Kubernetes are kind of irrelevant, because system's OOM killer will do how it pleases, ignoring Kubernetes).

---

Bottom line... Kubernetes is lame from infrastructure perspective. It's written for Web developers. To make things appear simpler for them, while sacrificing a lot of resources and hiding a lot of actual complexity... which is impossible to hide, and which, in an even of failure will come to bite you. You don't want that kind of program near your database.

Obviously not, the clear majority here is anti affirmative action so don't make it out like it's a controversial marginalized position in this context.

Anyway though what performance? We're talking about college students they don't do anything yet. But how about for example the fact that black people are more likely to be misdiagnosed and undertreated unless the doctor is black. If you care primarily about harm, with that in mind, getting the percentage of black doctors higher than 5% is something you'd be concerned with, I would think.

From my reference frame I have no reason but faith to accept your relationship with the real world is sound.

For example, your objection ignores that “performance on a battery of academic tests” is also reasonably described as “real-world decisions”.

Your definitions for “any real-world decisions” is non-existent; it’s not on us to assume for you.

A test is a real world behavior in my opinion. So I’m left feeling your entire comment is “a primate exercising writing skills but failing at establishing any useful logic”.

> the impressions people older than me got the first time they used a GUI

I wrote a whole book about it: Inventing the Future (starts end of 1976)

The PARC people already had several independent efforts (Bravo, Markup, Draw) and Smalltalk to build them with. Our task was to unify all the functionality into a single GUI.

(and by the way, Jobs and his minions didn't sneak in and steal it, contrary to what you've read.)

Not everyone was sold on it, a fact which some people would love to forget now. "We'll just slap a GUI on all this great functionality" was something marketing-droids actually did say.

The book is written with a strict "no hindsight" rule, but a friend and I did reconsider it all, with hindsight definitely allowed:

Installing the drivers is easy, but that doesn’t mean they work immediately. I got a fairly old computer a couple of years ago and put an RTX 3070 in it… I tried installing several distros and each of them would go through the install fine, then give a blank screen when I tried to boot. I tried all sorts of configuration and driver installations, both free and offical NVidia. I finally got one to work like it should, but it took about 10 days of messing with it.
Well, I eat my shorts.

Isn't LMBD closer to an embedded key-value store than an RDBMS, though? Also there's a section in the paper that mentions it's single-writer.
But revolution could be closer than we think.

I’m sure you know that GitHub handles README.org files too. What’s the downside of using org for readmes?
That's misleading. The reason was not because it's a "laser printer" but because it was running PostScript (which is a full fledge programming language). Had the "API" been a trivial image printer (like the NeXT laser printer), then the compute requirements would have been far less intense.
Well, ReactOS is a reimplementation of most of Windows, including the shell and the kernel.

Anecdotally, I once installed Ubuntu + Wine for someone non-technical who broke several Windows installations by infecting them with ransomware. He used it for like half a year calling it "this strange Windows" because some people don't know what an operating system is. He eventually irreparably broke its file system because apparently he was shutting down his machine by pulling the plug while it was running.
As a subreddit admin considering moving to Lemmy, I stopped reading at:

1 - for reading any uncached data, the I/O stalls are unavoidable. Whatever client requested that data is going to have to wait regardless.

2 - complexity? this is simply false. LMDB's ACID txns using MVCC are much simpler than any "traditional" approach.

3 - contention is a red herring since this approach is already single-writer, as is common for most embedded k/v stores these days. You lose more perf by trying to make the write path multi-threaded, in lock contention and cache thrashing.

It wasn't clear to me that they had implemented a page table (I think that's the S extensions?) which I would think would make the I/O space much more complex and difficult to represent. Lack of VA translation would make this CPU much less comparable to a 486SX.

I don't see those two as mutually exclusive, prima facie, unless you see "culture" as a euphemism for "perpetuating white supremacy". it certainly can be, but it can also be things like haverford's honor code, which only works when a critical mass of students find it meaningful. or it can be totally innocuous traditions like u chicago's annual scavenger hunt. elite schools can accept being each other's close competitors, but they can't accept being indistinguishable substitutes for their +/- 1 peers on the us news leaderboard.
I genuinely don’t recognise what you’re describing - for context I have a AMD APU system (5750GE - zen 3 and vega GPU cores), and a steam deck. I’ve had the APU for over a year now. I also have a desktop with a NVIDIA 3090.

All three are stable for general desktop use on Arch Linux (so up to date kernels etc). The NVIDIA set up has massive compute advantages (CUDA), but for desktop use if anything I have fewer issues on AMD - especially relating around desktop tearing and video which is where I have the most pain with NVIDIA.

Black screens & hard freezes are nonexistent. Gaming performance on the Steam Deck and APU is reasonable for the hardware. Proton works better for me with AMD than NVIDIA (which makes sense, after all Valve’s development of it is aimed at the steam deck primarily).

Maybe in politics or if you’re in a politically charged environment.

Performance metrics are flawed, but poor engineering and lack of foresight has consequences that no amount of loyalty can make up for (see Boeing).

There’s a set of competence required and if the person can’t grow into that set then it’s a manager’s job to get them out.
I agree, I also think React is a particularly regular victim because of JSX. A JSXed SVG looks just the same as a regular SVG in your editor, if everyone was forced to see the endless chains of React.createElement() they might start to feel uneasy.
> I'm due an upgrade to my gaming rig core soon, currently running an old 3950X with a 4090.

I have a 3900x and I'll probably just hold onto it forever. New CPUs are faster but are 25%+ more expensive core for core on top of motherboards being 2-3x more expensive than their pre-COVID pricing for less features (specifically I need a second CPU linked pcie slot for a network card, and no affordable AM5 motherboards seem to do 8x/8x lane splits like you could get with trivially affordable AM4 boards).

> AMDs crippling of new game releases by paying to have DLSSv3 support omitted (most recently Jedi Survivor, and looking like Starfield) has completely soured me on the company. I don't feel inclined to support that behaviour financially with my next rig.

This isn't a new trend sadly. It's insanely annoying to boot a game and see only AMD's subpar stuff baked in whereas when you boot a vendor agnostic or nvidia sponsored game you usually get nvidia's stuff alongside amd's. They did it with the RE4 remake recently too, very annoying to be stuck with FSR when the game advertised DLSS 3 support and had it in the pre-release demo.

I'm all for reducing bots and spam, but registration doesn't seem to have solved that problem for reddit.

On top of this, siloing adds the extra bonus that it breaks things like The Internet Archive. There are a lot of communities on Slack and Discord that are just prime for vaporising without a trace. A TON of knowledge will just disappear once someone decides to turn it off, for whatever reason.

You're not wrong that the UX is pretty bad, but I don't think there's likely to be a better open source Reddit clone coming along anytime soon.
The devs are fairly active so I'm hoping it'll be fixed relatively quickly.

At this point, I would still argue that moving to Lemmy is the best option. Some subreddits have moved to Discord, but it's just as proprietary as Reddit, and has the added downside of being a chat room. One can of course stay on Reddit itself, but I suspect Reddit's CEO probably isn't going to start making reasonable decisions anytime soon.

This feels very similar to namorar in Brazilian culture, which is a verb that is basically means "become/be an exclusive couple".

If you've started going on dates, then at some point someone will ask the other to namorar. It's a very explicit ask, e.g. "let's be boyfriend/girlfriend".

While in the US it's not unusual to just organically become a couple and never actually discuss it "officially", the official ask is usually a really meaningful event in a relationship in Brazil. Technically it means that hooking up with someone else before it wasn't cheating, but afterwards it definitely is.

But namorar is definitely not "love". And you'd never declare it before going on a first date. Usually it would be after several weeks/months of dating, depending on how serious you felt about each other.

I guess what's confusing me in this scenario is that we're not saying that the two halves of the cylinder contain particles with different properties (e.g. different velocities) but only that we can "tell them apart" as if they were coloured differently, but otherwise behaving in exactly the same way.

The former scenario is famously the setting for Maxwell's daemon. I was assuming this scenario is something else.

I'm confused because on one hand I can see that it requires work to reorder the particles once they have been shuffled around. On the other hand I don't see how one could extract work while they get shuffled around if they all have the same momenta.

Perhaps the answer is that we cannot have a system where the microscopic entities are at the same indistinguishable but also distinguishable. Perhaps if they had different "colours' it means they do interact differently with the environment? I'm still confused frankly
