GDB is one software I use a lot that has this feature. You can abbreviate break, print, delete, and others.

For conflicts (does 'd' refer to delete or disable?) the more commonly used command is usually what the abbreviation will expand to (so GDB accepts 'd' for "delete").
I'm not aware of a way to prioritize one process over another.

The way I've done it is, as you allude to, by managing locks. You set the transaction isolation level as appropriate.

You can also batch statements by using a cursor, rather than having a single large blocking transaction.

Meaningful exits for founders (2016)
You're arguing against the weakest versions of these positions so it's easy to defer to evidence.

How would you respond to the accusation that climate change is happening but some scientists are purposefully manufacturing models that paint a pessimistic prediction of global warming to get money and support for their field?

Speaking of telecom regulation, whatever happened to net neutrality?

For any critical email delivery make sure you can address this thing with the mailsender of choise:

1)SPF,

2)DKIM,

3)DMARC [2] (DMARC is often forgotten or can be super noisy when set up. Postmarc offers a aggregation service for free that sends you a weekly summary),

4)Dedicated IP

5)Reverse IP look up [1] (locate a dns PTR record for that IP address) should match the sender.

Not everyone supports 5).

4 and 5 is what you end up paying for, but totally worth it.

Phoronix is effectively the only performance CI for the Linux kernel.

There were many regressions that were only discovered and bisected by Phoronix, including integer-factor performance regressions in fundamental components where you'd think big companies would find them immediately. But they don't, Phoronix does.

Example:

https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-59-fairness

I consider this type of work critical to FOSS becoming and staying good, and think it's commendable that Michael Larabel dedicates his life to it.

As little as I like ads, it seems like a good way to fund this effort. There's also Phoronix Premium to remove ads (I bought this many years ago and am very happy with it).
12 easter eggs hidden in the developer console
if you want you language to apply a standard discipline, then use Python

Wow, I hear this stuff all the time about Python. It is a myth. I have worked on multiple 500K+ line Python projects. All of them decay into a total mess due to weak typing. You can type hint until you are blue in the face, but it is never enough if it isn't guaranteed by a compiler or at runtime. So many times, I am 29-levels deep in a call stack, looking at a local variable that is incorrect typed, thinking to myself: "Oh fuck, this again." Yes, I will get 8,000 downvotes for that comment, but it does not detract from my personal experience. It takes super human talent to fight that trend. Have you seen what Dropbox did with that Finnish dude who got a PhD literally studying how to make Python more type safe with static analysis? Jesus fuckin' Christ: Amazing work, but it would be much easier to pick a different language for something that will grow to millions of lines of code! And, sadly, I write that sentence as an unashamed Python fan-boi. I truly wish there was some kind of "strict-er typed" Python mode -- or something.

Building your first LLM-powered application
It can be important and reasonable. You might have things which never give errors. You might have things which sometimes do, and you attempt to use them in places which you don't believe to give errors. Here, the great thing about error functors is that the type system comes out and warns you very, very explicitly. Hell, we add that same boilerplate back in a lot of languages with things like "noexcept" and "throws", with the compiler's type checker doing the exact same thing and forcing error handling in a "noexcept" when it calls something which throws. You get an isomorphic system, it works the exact same way, it's effectively an error functor as far as the type checking is concerned.

That being said, this article sells the whole concept of functors incredibly short. You use them to represent certain concepts, such as in this example where the concept being represented is "value, but not everywhere in the domain" or "value or a different type of value". On top of that, these are applicative functors, meaning that they also represent a way of combining two values in a specific manner, and they are monads, meaning that they represent a kind of composition. That means that these same concepts of railway tracks suddenly allow for a lot larger set of tools: you can represent as a functor the concept of having multiple values, you can consider lists to be applicative functors with the combination of two lists being an operation such as concatenation, zipping of sequences, or even cartesian products. You can even go as far as to consider lists monads, in which case their compositional behaviour could be one of non-determinism: each function takes in a single value and evaluates to multiple values – the composition would be running the function over every value in the list (over all possible states), then concatenating the lists that come out (creating a new list of possible states). Treating errors and non-determinism as special cases of a similar behaviour allows for extending many of the methods we use in error handling to this kind of application as well. Not that these two are the only uses either.

It's a much larger toolbox, though going overboard with it will result in unreadable hellish code.
because "batteries included" is a good thing.
Shameless plug: I've recently started my own transactional email service (https://www.markix.com), primarily targeting small senders, after having been a very happy Postmark customer for a long time. Our service is still in closed beta but delivering live emails.

I run a couple other businesses and moved all of my transactional email sending over to Markix.

Would love to have a chat with anyone that might be starting a new project and is open to try out a new mail service (mail in bio).
Many people will hear the usual story of the fixes (for the plane example) being enormously expensive without really diving into what all goes into that figure.
The source code change itself may be trivial, so it's easy to compare that to the multi-million dollar figures thrown around and have criticisms.

We can do OTA updates, there's no technical reason it can't be done other than not allowing it (which I mostly agree with in secure applications). Hell our spacecraft do this now.
We must keep in mind these fixes do not go from dev environment straight to the field (prod), which would be a terrible idea. These are extremely complex integrated systems and must be tested in multiple phases because let's face it, if this supposedly trivial issue made it all the way through, what else may not have been discovered yet?

Not only does the 'easy' fix need to be tested (time and money), but related interactions need to be investigated as well (more time and money). The time cost of people doing the work, investigations, testing adds up from all this. Then there's potentially hardware in the mix which is never cheap, also simply being able to get access to hardware for testing can be a huge hassle.

Keep in mind this comment is only geared towards situations where the end item is a physical system. I would expect a fixing a pure software product to have significantly lower costs.

This is a technical use of the word "collides".

The Cruise car failed to yield, continued at a green light, and was struck by the fire truck. So presumably it did not detect the truck.

It is sad that automated cars are being asked to detect emergency vehicles at all.

A system that signals the location of any actively flashing vehicles to all nearby automated cars is technically achievable. It should have been one of the first steps in the development of any of this technology.

Unfortunately it requires careful coordination between many different entities so it hasn't happened.

Edit: Rarely have I had a comment so misinterpreted. I am not excusing Cruise in any way. This is a major design failure for the entire industry.

For clarity, automated cars should be required to have a rock-solid radio-based system that is aware of the position of any nearby emergency vehicle.

All emergency vehicles should have a transponder to signal their location to automated cars.

There's no reason to be relying on visual detection of flashing lights for a fire truck. A fire truck costs most of a million dollars and a transponder is not an expensive requirement.

There should be a standard for radio frequency announcement before automated cars are rolled out and there is not.

Yeah, for Python I feel like the difference between fenced vs unfenced doesn't matter. The primary cost is around your L3 cache getting slammed with contentious atomics but your L3 is already absolutely fucked if you're using Python.
... and also starve, yea?
This might be controversial, but I don't see anything inherently wrong with non-networked computer systems using old tech. I think a lot of tech nerds see the tech as the sole capability of a system, ie 2x the clock speed is 2x the capability, but that's just not how real world systems work. The biggest issues seem to be getting replacement components as systems age or new systems are purchased (like with the scaling of FGM-148s for Ukraine).
I’m having a hard time not being snarky and sarcastic about this. Worldcoin is a solution to no particular problem, designed to replace government functions with their own profit-driven replacements. I’m not the slightest surprised they’re ignoring those same governments telling them not to do something.

How to do a successful Hacker News launch
The communications monopolies are quasi-governmental entities whose primary business is crafting plausible sounding narratives about why they can't be bothered to do anything without one-way handouts from the de jure government. In reality municipal fiber has no problem building out out complete cities and towns, with obvious mandates to the serve the whole population, and from what I've seen they're doing a great job. Regardless of density, infrastructure has an intrinsic capital cost that needs to be accounted on the order of a decade, and moribund dinosaurs based around short term revenue extraction aren't capable of doing that.

It sounds like Baltimore's problem is, as you said, having no money. Getting an advance from a loan shark when you have no money is a poor idea, as you will be under their thumb and paying it back forever.

My own experience: GPON. moderate density (power goes out at least several times a year due to trees), under $80/mo fixed (no continual price hikes, no deliberately confusing fees, no contract), full gigabit up/down with no usage-based gouging, no incentive to surveil my traffic and sell the proceeds. If in 30 years 1Gb is considered slow and it's stuck there because "government", I'll let the municipal fiber doomers say I told you so - assuming Ma Bell isn't still offering 384k ADSL on the two pairs of copper they'll have left.
Yes I was using those as lazy shorthands to avoid litigating the exact definitions or having to account for all of the nuance elided by them. They're affiliations and trends, not geo-destiny.

hen I see comments like you, Im so glad Kubernetes exist, because I know some of our competitors may be wasting precious cycles trying to make the tech work instead of shipping value.

Not OP but, I finally got access to GPT-4 32k and I thought that for a thing as simple as a summary it would be better than the smaller context-window model. But then I realized that now I have (practically) infinite context in input but what the LLM can output is always between 1-1.5k tokens. That is, I think, because of the samples in its training, not because it can't output a more lengthy output.
In short, I think that multiple steps are better, for example in summarization.

I was going to mention F#. The parent and grandparent comments mention C# and ML, and the intersection of the two is... F#.
It seems this is one of the situations where just focusing on the immediate area around you is faulty.

An emergency vehicle with lights on has the right of way through an intersection even if the lights don’t match.

However, you would probably need longer range cameras and object detection to identify an emergency vehicle with lights approaching the intersection.

Can anyone link me to resources that go into more detail about this? I feel like I keep coming across conflicting projections: 1) That a warmer climate is a wetter climate, but 2) There will be more droughts.

This is the approach I am using right now. My intuition for trying to finetune was that for complex questions it would be better if the model could naturally deal with those intrincacies instead of reading documents with concepts that are connected but not very explicitly so. There is also the problem with context window limit; sometimes I have to truncate the relevant documents, limiting the capacity of the model to offer a good answer.

But I am very impressed with GPT-4's abilities in finding the correct answer just by reading those documents, so I think the only problem still enduring is the context window size.

Although if anyone has any ideas for a better fit, I'm open to suggestions:

Your JournalParser sounds like it could be implemented using normal Python threads or by an asyncio event loop without much performance problems. If I understand all it's doing is watching for events and posting a signal somewhere, so it doesn't sound like the kind of application that is CPU-bound.
