Unfortunately, yes. The OTel Collector has plans to implement a WAL for the OTLP exporter and when it does, you should be resilient to upstream temporarily having issues.
I'm on an iPhone 7 Plus since a year. It's an old model that I bought secondhand. It was partly experiment. I was using an Android phone: Motorola G5 (also old). I love that G5, but I have the variant with only 16GB internal memory, which is simply not enough nowadays. For me the G5 is still fast enough, but every time there are app updates, I need to free space so the update can install.

My wife was already using a second hand iPhone and convinced me to try it too. I got that iPhone 7 Plus for cheap, it is in really good condition and it has 256GB internal memory. I was aware it would be stuck on iOS 15, but to my surprise, Apple still sends out security updates for iOS 15. I just checked: my phone is on 15.7.7 and I noticed 15.7.8 came out just a couple of days ago. See [1].

I know that Apple is a closed eco-system and all, but for my phone I don't care that much. My phone just has to work. I still use Google products (maps, mail, calendar, keep, chat), but those run just fine on iOS. The other apps I use, are also working just fine (no performance issues).

To me, it's amazing that a phone from 2016 is still receiving security updates. That is simply non-existent in Android world. As someone who does not have the urge to always have the latest and hottest, that is very nice to see.

Historically the Catholic church and Cathloc monarchs did make claims and undertook actions that threatened the security and freedom of Protestants, and the Irish Republic made claims over the North that Protestants saw as a threat, so the bonfires and parades with their positive self assertion can be understood in this context.

That said, I think we can all condemn oblique hatred of the other side, and that's very much present in both sides.
I myself went to music lessons for a bit and did take some extra classes to catch up. But it was an hour or two a week here and there. I still had 4 out of 5 afternoons to myself any given year. And no stuff on weekends. It’s incomparable to kids schedules today.

To be fair, my schedule got quite busy in final years. But it was because I started building websites for €€€. But I doubt it’s comparable to parents-scheduled extracurricular activities. And I learned programming in my free unstructured time by myself.

That's not all that unusual when something gets implemented, as people tend to take the easy approach for things that meet the desired goal.

In the latter half of the '80s, MIT changed their admission criteria to get a larger percentage of women undergraduates in incoming classes. This cohort did not have the same level of "STEM advanced placement" prep classes as before and the grind/pace/atmosphere of the freshman filter classes changed; many faculty were not happy about it, as I was told by female students from that time period. I don't doubt that similar changes took place elsewhere.

I'm not saying this was not an improvement, simply that it meshes with your timeline and sheds a different specturm of light on what you are pointing out. (to put it another way, there were traditionally many fewer women who wore pocket protectors and carried sliderules, but yes they were very much a part of the community)

That is a different thing (i've seen the issue in my own games), it is really about how even if the game updates at 60Hz, producing stable 60fps and shows on a 60Hz monitor with vertical synchronization (vsync) enabled you can occasionally have some "stuttering" (IIRC he calls them "heart beats" in the article the video is about).

The main reason is that your game time and the monitor's "time" are not really progressing in sync and even with vsync you are actually reacting on what the monitor did in the "past". This is why it isn't a problem on fixed platforms like the Amiga since you more or less know how fast the system is and can simply use vsync for game updates too (in other words make the game dependent on the framerate and just ensure the framerate is more or less constant, which is easy on fixed hardware but much harder on something like the PC).

FWIW this is still a problem, but at least a "hack" that has become a bit common since the video and article were published (and Croteam also did) is to "smooth out" the time progression by averaging the time deltas of the last few cycles. This doesn't fix the core problem but it makes the "heartbeat" less likely to happen and be noticeable at the cost of -mostly imperceptible- drift between game time and real time (that you can always reset if it becomes too large anyway).
That Java had concurrency built in from the start is a blessing mostly, but also a bit of a curse. Most of the Java ecosystem is still in the mindset that threads are cheap and firing up a couple more cannot hurt. So we end up with apps that run thousands of threads and this disease is hard to contain.

> asyncio

...is useless for CPU bound tasks. The event loop uses only one core.

...relies on IPC and running actual system processes, both of which have alot more overhead than switching thread context and using shared memory.

> For any use case where the last few percent matter, consider not using Python (which will be much much more significant).

Here is an interesting question: If asyncio and multiprocessing already give us "nearly the same or better performance", then why is "use another language" such a common advice to escape parallelism-problems in Python?

Because, curiously enough, the languages that are usually recommended for this (C, Go, Rust, C++, Java) all implement thread-based parallelism.

That doesn't explain a thing. The "static" came from weak signals or not tuning properly. Before digital TVs were a thing, analog TVs already had digital tuners, and suppressed the display while switching channels. Analog TVs are not synonymous with static while changing channel.

Relying on Redis for data sharing between concurrent processes seems like a massive overhead to me. You've got network overhead as well as a single threaded data store.

I am thinking about multithreading every day to try make it easier to use. I journal about it in my ideas journals.
I learned DNS a bit over 20 years ago running a BIND deployment that was authoritative for somewhere over 30k customer domains.

I still tend to use nslookup over dig (yes, I know, bad mst) because I got sufficiently used to the former that I barely notice it's even there when using it - my fingers and brain are so used to it that the interface part of nslookup is mentally invisible (though I always teach other people 'dig' and 'host' instead).

I'm not sure learning it that way was exactly easier, but being (somewhat, that was far from the only service I was responsible for) immersed in it meant I at least got through the initial mental scrabbling in a relatively compressed time frame, and once you've got a coherent model built in your head life is easier.

I think this is really a very long way to say "based on doing DNS most days for a few years, I strongly suspect you're right."
This would mean that every container has its own buffer cache, you can no longer have intentional shared state (K8s secrets, shared volumes, etc.), and must construct block overlays instead of cheap file overlays. You’re definitely losing some of the advantages a container brings.

There are other advantages — low fixed resource costs, global memory management and scheduling, no resource stranding, etc. — but the core intent of gVisor is to capture as many valuable semantics as possible (including the file system semantics) while adding a sufficiently hard security boundary.

I’m not saying moving the file system up into the sandbox is bad (which is basically what a block device gives you), just that there are complex trade-offs. The gVisor root file system overlay is essentially that (the block device is a single sparse memfd, with metadata kept in memory) but applied only to the parts of the file system that are modified.
I find these guides a bit disappointing in that they always give the example of a wire loop generating an EM field, which one could sort of imagine given day to day experience with direct current and conductors. However this all breaks down when looking at regular monopole antennas - how can the conductor conduct when one of the ends is just hanging in the air? AC magic I suppose.

Similarly they are very short on details on what exactly is going on when the EM field is generated. I guess it consists of photons, but where exactly do they come from and how are they generated using (in some cases) only milliwatts of power?

Wikipedia provides a good introduction into the many kinds of toilet designs found around the world. The U.S.-american residential style with lots of water floating high ip in the bowl, as well as the high-pressure flushing system straight from the pipe are uncommon in most continents. There DIN-norms about „Flachspüler“ and „Tiefspüler“-style toilets e.g. in Germany.

My favourite: Japanese „tornado flush“ style toilets. Optional with built-in bidet or „washlet“. There seems to be zero aerosols and it flushes clean more consistently than others.

Discipline is one of those things that are truly important. But I don’t think parents-overscheduled activities help that much with it. Otherwise discipline goes out the window when nobody is on your shoulder anymore.

Learning to live self sufficiently is better with unstructured time IMO. When you have to learn to put together your own schedule, follow it and do day-to-day tasks. It’s horrible how many kids can’t make themselves dinner and clean up the house after themselves. Because kid is always busy and mommy takes care of everything because little 18 y/o is so tired. Of course it doesn’t help that in many cases mommy can’t do much better than microwave dinner or order a takeout :/
Here is my take on your view: it's too early to say because the evidence is still secret.

Here is the substance of my response: the reasons the evidence will remain secret is the nature of US strategic interest in keeping its SIGINT capability secret. It has nothing to do with aliens, because no credible evidence of aliens has ever been seen or discussed since the inception of the program. "Unexplained" is the strongest statement made of any phenomena.

There could or could not be evidence of aliens It's immaterial to why this is secret

> Tesla's sales of approximately 4.5 million vehicles have each offset about 20 tons of CO2 over their lifetimes compared to a traditional gas vehicle [1].

Aren't you presuming that Tesla is the only seller of electric vehicles, and those who bought Tesla would thus never even consider buying any other electric vehicle?

I mean, currently Tesla represents around 15% of the overall EV sales, and BYD auto alone representing 21%. This means that as of right now around of 85% of all ev buyers are not buying Tesla.
I'm looking into it

it makes sense for multiple reasons, no? You never want to assume the general audience is caught up on every little piece of an evolving story, be it a simple celebrity drama or some complex political issue. It's news, not a research paper.

> In what sense is the overhead of starting actual OS processes, and relying on IPC "free"

With Python's current multiprocessing utilities - you get a big discount by not having to write thread-safe code, or worry about synchronization, despite the GIL still being there. Very broadly speaking, it's "free" in the sense that the OS handles parallelism automatically at the process-level, and provides a simple communication mechanism between those processes through standard APIs. It also reduces potential attack surfaces (although this is a lesser argument).

It's also "free" in the sense that you don't need to re-write large parts of the VM, as-well as all supported libraries, and teach the entire Python community how to safely write and test multi-threaded code (something I bet upwards of 75% of the people using Python today won't manage) to support this specific form of parallelism.

If your goal is to run code (whether IO bound or CPU bound) in parallel - Python has the means to do that already today, without removing the GIL.

The emotions that most commonly arise when discussing politics online are negative ones: anger, resentment, powerlessness.

If you act out on the anger or resentment, no one wins anything. At that moment, it's a good idea to make an effort to argue from a purely logical standpoint instead of just insulting the person you're arguing with. I think that's what most people mean when they say they want to discuss "without emotion".
I'm absolutely recommend SQLite-utils for fast SQLite operations, converting to and from SQLite.

Some CLI apps with subcommands accept top level options anywhere in the arguments, some - like 'ip' - expect

<command> <command options> <subcommand name> <subcommand options> <arguments>

The advantage of that approach is that you don't have to worry about naming collisions between the command and subcommand option sets, which can be really handy - especially in applications with pluggable and/or user supplied subcommands, so you can add top level options without worrying about breaking somebody else's extensions.

The disadvantage is, well, what just happened to you.

(note that I personally really like the pedantic approach because it fits my brain, but I'm -not- trying to endorse it as better in general since it's very definitely a trade-off and one that often isn't a good one overall)
