There isn't an explicit concept of priority / resource allocation between queries in Postgres.

However, Postgres does that automatically for certain background processes like autovacuum, background worker etc. by allowing you to configure how fast / slow they go.

You could implicitly influence how fast / slow something goes by setting per role / database parameters and giving less resources to certain types of queries (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/sql-alterrole.html) or by using explicit locks + lock_timeout to create some kind of a priority.
Large stone houses needed numbers of servants to collect and prepare firewood to keep them warm, and required materials (and workers) no long available to maintain. Even the 'rich' kings and queens after the romans were no where near as cash rich as many of the romans that managed parts of the UK, as the population dropped significantly and slavery (while it still existed) wasn't as common as roman times.

Plus we know building were used, for example as farm buildings - but it was more common for the building materials to be reused, rather than people moving into houses. I don't think they would have been too scared of the romans, as largely the lands were taken over by new groups - which the romans could not afford to keep defending against.

There is a similar reason that amazing old houses lie for ages untouched in France - the cost to run and keep the is huge (and always has been) - but they no longer own the land/farms required to fund the buildings (and lives of the owners), so they sit rotting away.
Where I think we’re not aligned is you’d secure the product to secure revenue, right? Passing RFPs makes total sense but adding MSVP into an RFP check adds another layer of checklists to go through, and if it’s for RFPs that means the checklist likely gets done prior to much else, so these checklists anchor your security program ealry on. Anchoring a startup security to the MSVP would be misguided IMO, for my reasons below. It doesn’t mean it’s
not useful, but it’s not where I’d burn my social capital and budget as a sec eng to meaningfully secure a firm.

That’s the goal of running a security program for a startup, ultimately - get them to Series C without a serious breach, and then build out a security team to get them to IPO and through SOC2 etc.

So my concern is that if you have just one shot to standup a security program, and the goal is the above, building out a appsec program with the MSVP (which also skews into a bunch of process, beyond appsec) seems to veer far into stuff that’d be unproductive for startup security team to do.

Reason being is it hits what I said above in another thread - unless you have a dev knowledgeable and willing to do all the suggested appsec controls in the MSVP, that’s a sec eng asking for each of those controls. The odds of a clean devops pipeline even existing yet seems low, as to slot in SAST and some DAST approach to catch the vulns suggested by the MSVP. Or the budget for a pentest.

That’s a sec eng annoying startup devs for constant code changes for code that works and is getting revenue (bc this is how the 101 startup dev usually sees these requests).

That’s also a sec eng who is usually doing semi-GRC, supporting sales processes, doing all the above enterprise sec 101 stuff, and potentially ops/IT support, as there’s usually only 1 or 2 of these hires early on.

So, makes me think that the MSVP as written misses the pragmatic reality of what works for startup sec programs, although I’d agree it’d work for a product. But to secure the product given realities for a startup dev, WAF for the product endpoints helps deal with the worst appsec problems and then use defense in depth on the enterprise side. Phishing the customer service rep, SaaS breach, or sketchy packages are very commonly what gets startups.
Seems like waymo is doing fine, though...
Sirens are designed to have an easily discernible doppler effect; a siren coming at you sounds different from a siren going away, which sounds different than a siren keeping pace with you. And furthermore, a siren behind you sounds different from a siren in front of you.

Human drivers generally manage all of this fine. If computers can't, then they aren't ready to drive.
Sure looks like the Fire Truck crashed into the Cruise vehicle.

I am not saying that the autonomous vehicle is without fault in this situation, it just seems strange to say that a car with its doors crushed in, "collided" with another vehicle.

This is a really good idea. For years I've wanted to know:

- Which AirBNB hosts actually have a good "dedicated workspace". Criteria: at least a 30" deep desk, and a comfortable adjustable height office chair.

- Which AirBNB rental units actually have fast internet. Ideal in a perfect world: Let me ping their router, or somehow get the airbnb host to visit https://speedof.me or a similar site, then upload the results. (i.e. -- once per day or once per week, live wifi speed data from that Airbnb Host's rental unit is uploaded to a site where I can access the speed data publicly)

- (This one is more of a "local cafe" functionality) Which AirBNB rental units have a cafe with strong, reliable wifi within <toggable> distance. i.e. let me toggle a .5 km, 1km, 2.5km, etc radius. Show cafes within that radius as well as their wifi

I'm not really at all surprised by the price.

It's more expensive than the base level Steam Deck, which is also a Linux touchscreen tablet (with some extra input hardware...), and that's Zen 2, 16 GB RAM, GPU, etc though with smaller&worse screen. Adding a comparable 512 GB SSD to the Deck makes it $649, compare against StarLite's non-preorder $713 price.

A full Framework 13" laptop is $1049 and that's a hugely more powerful CPU etc.

Except they make the meatballs from scratch, which I don't have time for. Decent bulk frozen meatballs + excellent Victoria jarred sauce from Costco to the rescue. My Italian wife tarts up the jarred sauce a bit with fresh aromatics and chunks of canned San Marzano tomatoes, and the end result is acceptable even to her exceptionally picky palette... Add a big stack of cheap, mismatched thrift-store china plates and silverware, and dinner for 30 takes us about an hour to prep + an hour to clean up after total.

There may be no services at large that don’t support tagging (certainly was historically not the case though), but there a hundreds of resources that don’t.

Furthermore, tagging is restrictable by IAM, is often co-opted by finance for cost allocation, and is subject to often-bizarre limits about what the content can be (even more so across providers).

Finally, how would you manage tags as an actual resource themselves in this model?

Why "usually does not"? The stolen hard drive, leaked data, etc. can happen at any point in the future....one minute to one year from now.

For most of those times, a short session will prevent the attacker from exploiting it.

They tend to justify it, both themselves and to the world, by claiming the product is here lift people in the global south out of poverty and bring them into the modern world. That's textbook white saviorism.

Yup, this is because most things that are engineered have tolerances in them. But pushing the envelope will only get you so far, at some point you're going to run up against hard physical limits (in this case with grid transmission capacity).

The National Grid connection queue is still a huge bottleneck for renewable and battery developers. The amnesty helped but at the end of the day, the overhead lines, substations and transformers need to be upgraded.

At least in the UK there's quite some visibility into the queue and required and ongoing works. Here in Europe it's like a black box.
No response != nothing being done with the report
Population-level data, when combined with aspartame consumption, is enough to give us an approximate upper limit on how toxic aspartame is. The largest issue with estimating the upper level of toxicity would be if another unaccounted for population change decreased the risk of cancer at the same time aspartame increased the risk. Then, it's unfair to assign aspartame the entirety of that increased risk. There's probably hundreds of things introduced in modern life that have some impact on health but aren't fully accounted for in population level data.

All of this is to say, if aspartame caused cancer at the same rate as smoking, then we'd probably know about it by studying population-level data. There is a level of health impact that we should be concerned about but could get lost in all the other things happening to the population.
Yeah, I discovered that it can be hard on the kidneys so I kicked it after drinking way too much for too long - I went from a couple of cans a day to maybe a dozen drinks over a year. Still have my two coffee a day, but I mostly drink water now. I do not feel any different.

> higher temperatures drives increased evaporation which leads to increased droughts

Certain types of vegetation work better in higher temperatures. Remove vegetation altogether, and the combination of higher temperatures, wind, and rain will transform the land into deserts. Preserve old-growth forests, and they will remain lush, green, and wet regardless of temperature variations.

> the evaporated water in the atmosphere has to come back down again, which it will tend to do in a great big splash

Atmospheric rivers are interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_river

> don’t really penetrate deep enough into the soil to alleviate the increased evaporation (too much too fast)

That depends again largely on the type of vegetation growing there. Forests and wetlands can capture the rain and allow it to seep, while pastures and corn fields will retain very little, which can lead to soil erosion and droughts / water shortages.

We have one particular neighbor who would greet everyone and chat with them. He was always out walking his little dog. Very nice. Next thing you know, someone is freaked out, posting a Ring video of him violently knocking on their front door (that was it, nothing else). It was so strange seeing this unfold on camera. Nearly everyone has talked to this guy and thought he was very nice. The people who's door he was banging on didn't know/recognize him. I'm guessing he has some sort of mental health challenges--though he does own and maintain a nice home on our street. Since the incident he has not been out. I saw him in his yard and noticed he looked a bit agitated. Very sad. I think this country is in serious need of a mental health framework that can actually help people. As it stands now, if this behavior escalates at all he will be faced by the police. Zero help.
How would guardrails be applied through fine-tuning?

I haven't heard of that, so genuinely curious. What I'm familiar with is guardrails applied on top of the LLM. For instance through prompting, managing the available data inside the vector database that could be used for context (if using RAG), or through something like NeMo[1].

And 1 surprising thing (to me) is some places (iCloud was what bit me) alway want you to be able to receive email (have MX records). Even though I have no need to support incoming emails iCloud was blocking my sending until I got that setup. The incoming emails just go to a black hole but that's enough.

It is the fact that our lives are ruled by money, and we are inherently selfish creatures. What do you think late-stage capitalism looks like? Everyone starts working harder so we can all die faster and make more money for our boss?

If you want to solve it, hire better workers and pay them better. That's the capitalist solution anyways; bugger to you if that guy is solely motivated by money too. And their replacement is probably financially-motivated too, so don't bother trusting them to hold the door for you.

You want something "deeply disturbing" to think about? This site is the one that demands marginal returns for their angel investments. Half the users here are either an investor or a builder, each one looking to swindle the other. That is what the opposite of work looks like, not apathy. These people are creating the illusion of a job well done to appease their shareholders and force their customers to stay-put. Then they have the gall to blame operational failures on Joe Shmoe in accounting, when their problem is obviously executive malfunction.
I'm not sure what "systems code" means; could you elaborate?
My guess is this is a PE format type windows application. Though I suppose you could get a NE format file to work correctly if the binary was compiled as 32 bit. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this but I think you did have the option to compile either way.
Thanks you all for comments. I have made a decision to subscribed to dedicated IPs (credits: @slau).

The differentiating factor between our current AWS SES plan and the competitors (mentioned in the comments) is having a dedicated IP. With our current volume, none of the competitors are anyway near AWS SES costs. So, moving to a dedicated IPs thats cost 25$ extra not only solves our issue, but also no change in code/infrastructure.
Some crude snippets from a Pascal-C (I never could decide) self-educational compiler/toy I wrote a while ago (in Haskell):

-- a parser function that matches on { ... } returning ...
-- can be combined with other parsers
braces = (symbol "{") `between` (symbol "}")
...
-- a statement is a controlFlow or a declaration or an assignment
statement = controlFlow <|> declaration <|> assignment

-- a block is either 1 or more statements surrounded by { ... }
-- or a single statement.
block = (braces $ many statement) <|> statement
...
-- An expression is a number, or a variable, or a binary operation
-- derive functionality to print and test equality of these values.
data Expr =
Num Int
| Var Variable
| DualOp Op Expr Expr
...
deriving (Show, Eq)
...
foldConstants (DualOp Add (Num a) (Num b)) = Num (a + b)
...

Parser combinators (parser functions that take other parser functions and return more complex combined parser functions) with enough syntactic sugar can express BNF-like grammars directly as code. And ML-style list and pattern matching operations are very expressive for operating on the intermediate representation.

IBM quantum. Those are not softwares. Those are just a pile of bugs.

You have many ways (data structure) to express the same data, some are efficient and some are not. They implemented like 5 different data structures for user to choose themselves. But the functions inside the same program only support a specific one. They don't even bother to make functions support all data structures that they provided. You don't even know why they make such arbitrary decision to support this DS and not the others. Of course they never mentiom anything until the problem raise error to you, then you check the document, don't know how to fix it because who knows what DS it accepts?

Then there comes a separate team solely from IBM Japan that has zero communication with the original team , make their own stuff said their fork has better performance. Then the stuff became official but the API is no where compatible. You can't drop in replace to gain performance.

The whole company is completely nonsense.

I'd say the argument is flawed. If you move to Pulumi, eventually you will have all the same problems you have with Terraform, except now it's written in a complex language instead of HCL, which is easy to read, well documented and well suited to the infrastructure problem set. HCL and Terraform are also well supported in VSCode these days.

I would also say that the "set and forget" nature of terraform and versioning is fine, since it tends to just work at old versions and is usually forward compatible (since about the .14->1.0 split).

Now I am a hopeless TF stan but I am a bit concerned about the license change as well. Not so much for the FOSS crusader angle, but that the backlash may destroy a great tool ecosystem for devops/platform/SRE teams.
