Agree.

But extinction of pollinators or key species, extreme temperatures causing mass crop failures, extreme droughts, several meter sea rise or a cascade of tipping points could certainly make some serious damage too.
Not only were the Vikings in North America that early, but they were trading with the locals[0]. This might seem moot at first blush, seeing as these beads were found in Alaska--3,000 miles away from newfoundland! But once you recall that both places fell within the range of the Inuit (who were masters of transportation over water!) the distance hardly seems like an impediment.

Thank goodness the spirit was already bottled. I was a pretty serious single malt scotch fiend for a while and from tasting the very impressive collections of others I found that anything cooperage aged (wooden barrels) just doesn't get better beyond about thirty years or so.

By year forty, each sip was akin to chewing on a toothpick.

So, spirits can definitely be aged too much (at least with scotch whisky, ime).

And that is because the fruit of the current paradigm have been plucked and we need a breakthrough to reveal new ground, and breakthroughs become more spaced out as we explain more and more.

>I'm assuming you have to inspect the signal to confirm the opening frame of data.

There's not need for manual inspection. The analog receiver front ends of modern 2.4GHz microcontrollers of past ~15 years are smart enough that they have programable logic that can handle low-level packet inspection of the RF preamble and sync word to check if they're the ones being addressed, after which that will trigger full CPU wakeup where your code can start execution and process the message payload.

Does anyone here who uses it in production care to comment?
The incentives, unfortunately, are not so neatly aligned, and the NYPD arrest at the center of this lawsuit is a prime example.

The officers were willing to make an arrest to retaliate against First Amendment protected activity because they knew they could do so with impunity. Would it have been less hassle to ignore him and let him do his thing? Yes indeed. But they assaulted and then arrested him anyway because it's a power thing.
That "it sounds like" assumption is holding a whole lot of weight there, buddy.

You don't know that they were free to leave, and the fact that you think it's "weird" for someone to open carry suggests implicit bias demonstrated by your further comments.

It's nothing about "originalists" either -- whether for the exercise of constitutional rights, their own desire, or protection, if GP chose to open carry, and it's legal to do so, they shouldn't be randomly interrogated about it -- especially when making a routine enquiry.

You're also forgetting that plenty officers have both assaulted and used their arms against peaceful citizens, including in police custody and police stations, so "there's no reason to open carry there" doesn't apply -- you don't know if GP was simply walking home and went in to get this report copy on the way -- more ridiculous analogies don't make an actual argument, you know.

Going back to your initial "sound like," if police are using tactics they've learned to coax information out from suspect and display authority and force, it could absolutely be illegal, ranging from harassment to intimidation -- short of wearing a t-shirt saying "kill all cops" or waving their firearm around, there's no reasonable circumstance why they should be challenged like that, purely for open carrying -- as I said to you before, if they CCW'd there wouldn't even be an argument, so passing judgement on GP because of your own clear anti-gun bias is transparent as heck.
the police should be held to a far higher standard, tho. I agree auditers are being provocators, and people can consider them jerks, but you are allowed to be a jerk, if you are not breaking laws. We give police the trust to serve and protect, and give them high levels of immunity. They should be significantly better than the common man.

We might have a genuine disagreement then, because I have a very strong preference against police being "dangerously understaffed".

Given other societal forces (i.e. decreasing mental health care for those with the greatest need, since about the Reagan era), in my understanding we rely on cops to hold together denser areas. If policing were to substantially decrease, I'd want to be as suburban/rural as possible (whereas currently I'd like to be more urban). I might be in favor of less policing if it came after we had better services for the homeless & mentally ill.

Not claiming my viewpoint is morally or practically correct, only trying to give a better view of my perspective. I'm sure views on the police differ greatly by group membership (I am likely biased by police having low suspicion of me by default; I am also ~never going to "win" a physical interaction without backup.)

Could you expand on where & why we differ?
That is a really good question! A few of them that come to my mind:

1/ logical replication support for schema (DDL) changes

2/ a native logical replication plugin (not wal2json) which is easier to read from the client side. pgoutput is fast but from reading/parsing from the client side is not as straightforward.

3/ improve decoding perf - i've observed pgoutput to cap at 10-15k changes per sec, for an average usecase. This is
after good amount of tuning - ex: logical_replication_work_mem etc. Enabling larger tps - 50k+ tps would be great. Also this is important for Postgres, considering the diverse variety of workloads users are running. For example at Citus, I saw customers doing 500k rps (with COPY), I am not sure logical replication can handle those cases.

4/ logical replication slots in remote storage. one big risk with slots is that they can grow in size (if not read properly) and use up storage on the source. allowing shipping slots to remote storage would really help. i think Oracle allows something like this, but not 100% sure.

5/ logical decoding on standby. it is coming in postgre 16! we will aim to support in PeerDB, right after it is available.

I can think of many more, but sharing a few top ones that came to my mind!

I'm current reading "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes.

It's interesting you say that because many scientists they wanted for bomb or nuclear research were sometimes preoccupied with radar. It comes up multiple times in the book.

Is there an equivalent book for the work on radar and all the development that went into semiconductors and transistors for radar during the war?
Yeah. This works both ways. At small scale or early stage you should try like hell to work backwards from pre-existing components so that everything does exactly what you need them to do by definition. Eventually you outgrow that and it makes sense to build things that do exactly what you want because the incremental value is worth it.

Exactly. Nope, no towing. Drove about half those miles and spent about 45 minutes at a supercharger, then drove another 35 or so and spent a little over an hour at another one. In the second case I was trying to get to 90% so I could return the car above the 72% I picked it up at.

We ran the A/C most of the time. I was driving pretty conservatively with about 50/50 highway/city streets. I did try to show off the acceleration abilities once but didn't fully floor it. It's possible that, being a rental(although fairly new) the battery had taken some charging abuse.

The kinship between design sprints and agile sprints can look like a match made in heaven… on the oversimplified views of details yet to be found, and can be useful if the problem and some possible solutions are unknown and need to be understood.

But once unknowns are better understood, it feels better to consider multiple methodologies.

Scrum oddly can feel great pre product launch, but doesn’t always make sense afterwards. It can really help get a lot done in some cases. But, is the team experienced, or not, and self directed or not, and how familiar are they with the domain they are working in.

My product consulting background revealed the value of a hybrid design-agile/waterfall loop that leverages the sweet spot of figuring out the unknowns and executing what was known in a way that the business could understand.

Product continues to teach me that there’s always lots to learn from other. Being too attached to one way instead of learning how the currents of each style can be aligned, or not is becoming a lot of fun for me, and I hope to be able to connect with others feeling similarily.

Except, as a technologist on the product side, being acutely literate and aware of what hardware, networking, and software can, and can't do today and in the next few years can become a bit of an unfair advantage when looking at a pipeline or roadmap, along with business trends or wishes of the business.

Design thinking allows people to come together to understand a problem and some ways to maybe solve it. I think that’s always been the biggest benefit it’s provided me, including letting the team learn together when a hypothesis turned out to be right and when it wasn’t.

What design can have a tough time with is not knowing the capabilities and possibilities where tech is involved to sovle it.

Too often, the outputs of Design sprints are thrown on the laps on tech to figure out, when technologist are human beings as well, are left downstream to pick up the pieces.. too often much to the chagrin to business degrees.

Design Thinking when driven by the business degrees can be a form of keeping more seats than needed at that design / influence / direction table.

I don't advocate for removing or reducing those seats, only increasing the seats for the people who can help give feedback on the feasibility of something in the given timelines and budget.

All to say there's not a better time for tech folks to be able to learn more business than it is the other way around.

There are no lawyers as lawyers. Here, anyone can represent you, on your behalf. But all sorts of lawyerish things (discovery) are prohibited, cost recovery, and the judge must explain things to you, especially if some party uses gibberish(legalese) in an argument.

So the playing field is level, a lawyer as a lawyer doesn't happen, and so it is amusing to see Big Corp pay out of their nose.

Oh, and they must have a representative "standing by" which often means in person.
I mean one unsubstantiated armchair take: it's newer than Rabbit / Kafka (RabbitMQ was built in 2007, Kafka in 2011), since then the learnings from distributed systems, message queues and programming languages has improved by leaps and bounds, and the existing ones will have backwards compatibility / legacy issues.

That said, there are indeed plenty of commercial and noncommercial alternatives, so now that it's been published I'm sure there will be some thorough people making comparisons soon!

I had a similar thought before we purchased our Tesla. Our actual experience has been much better than expected. Here's why:

1) Everyday Driving / Commuting: Much like an ICE vehicle where one thinks about 1/2 tank, 1/4 tank, etc... we think about percentages. For us, a round-trip to the in-laws is 50% in the summer and 60% in the winter, for example. Commuting round trip is ~15% in the winter, and ~12% in the summer. This combined with the fact that the car starts every morning charged to 80% means that we really don't ever worry about super charging in our day-to-day life.

2) Road Trips: The navigation software on the tesla automatically add charging stops where needed, and critically, it is very accurate when predicting range as a percentage when it knows your destination. We typically charge until it say we'll reach our destination/charging stops with 10%. That reserve has always been more than enough even on 1000 - 2000 mile road trips.

My general advice to anyone with a Tesla who has range anxiety:
1) Put the round trip into the trip computer. (e.g. Home => Place I Want To Go To => Home)
2) Always make sure you'll get to your next charging stop with 10 - 15% left according to the trip computer.
3) Relax and enjoy the auto-pilot :)
Is this implemented with any sort of thought to security?

I don't see anything that implies as such, all FAQ and comparisons to other message queues say nothing of security (I skimmed and ctrl+f so I could have missed it). This doesn't bode well for a network-based application written in a memory unsafe language.

edit: I'm surprised so many people are interpeting this as a weird cargo cult thing. Application security includes a lot of mundane and critical things like:

Authentication, authorization, message signing / authentication (e.g. HMAC), encryption, secret/key management, how the system handles updates, etc.

You can read a bit more about it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_security

Yes and the standard development process starts by designing a spec proposal and testing it! That's the first step. If the proposal ends up not being implemented, the implementation may be removed, but you still need the implementation to write the spec, that's more or less how WHATWG works.

All of the following are true statements:

- Not all chrome flags are related to spec proposals
- Not all spec proposals are related to chrome flags
- Not all chrome-led proposals are finalized
- At least one browser must implement and test the proposal before the proposal can really be considered, and multiple other browsers must implement it before it can be accepted.

You seem to be taking things that are factual, normal, everyday, aspects of the WHATWG working process and trying to imply that chrome is doing something unusual, or untoward with its process here, but it isn't. It's doing what is necessary to make a proposal with WHATWG: have a trial.

McDonalds is one of the biggest culprits here, for sure.

Climate change is just a symptom of much bigger problem, and that's ecological overshoot. Climate change, resource depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, and overfishing are all symptoms of ecological overshoot.

Animal ag is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, pollution and soil erosion.

McDonalds is one of the biggest companies driving deforestation worldwide (5th?), in fact 8 out of 13 biggest deforesting companies worldwide are in the meat industry, one way or another.

> Different technologies aren't inherently better or worse than other technologies.

That's a rather wild interpretation (to put it midly).

You have compared things on subjective terms; i.e. about BASIC being better on a limited old Apple. But that's not the same as how some technologies are objectively better or worse than others.

I'd have understood if you were comparing things on the measure of engineering tradeoffs - but instead you speak in absolutes about the 'betterness' of a technology that you do not prefer, over one known to be slow and bloated (ReactJS). That seems questionable.

Section 230 is good. Web sites should be allowed to decide whose comments they publish, whose they promote, whose they tank.
