The point is that while “not creating a net negative”, is it still creating the net positive that providers claim and in some cases want you to pay for.

Significantly: there are a whole host of risks that is doesn't mitigate, that it is not intended at all to mitigate, that people who don't know any better might assume are dealt with when things are pushed as secure “because the data is encrypted at rest”. If you read TFA you'll see that it details some of these concerns.
>no matter if there are bugs or there are more efficient ways to get something done.

Stability is worth it. After 30 years of development the kernel developers should be able to come up with a solid design for a stable api for drivers that they don't expect to radically change in a way they can't support.
They used it at my first full time job out of university.

It was terrible.

It was not fast, a regular SQL db would have been much better, due to bugs in our code, the data in mongodb was not uniform, which led to failures in the code when the document didn't have the expected format.

Cherry on top is that they were mostly growing documents, which is a very slow operation, that would have been done very fast with a many-to-many table in SQL instead.

> Our most recent report on MongoDB 3.6.4 focused on causal consistency and linearizability in sharded collections. We found that sharded clusters appeared to offer linearizable reads, writes, and compare-and-set operations against single documents, so long as users ran with read concern linearizable and write concern majority. However, any weaker level of write concern resulted in the loss of committed writes. MongoDB’s default level of write concern was (and remains) acknowledgement by a single node, which means MongoDB may lose data by default. Although the write concern documentation does not make this clear, the rollback documentation states:

Heh, I missed that there's a new query engine.

From [0] it looks like it was available from 5.1, also interesting is that you can't choose which engine to use, so I suppose it only works on subsets or queries that meet certain conditions.

This isn't the first time I hear something to the effect of "LLVM JIT is great, but it introduces a lot of query latency". I wonder if there are other JIT engines more suitable for compiling potentially small/simple queries.

Extreme "pranks"? Hazing culture? Omerta? Gang culture? Wolf of Wall Street / Boiler Room culture?The thin blue line? Church scandals? Basically every domestic terrorist group in history?

Four common patterns

* Recruitment techniques based around achieving worth by emulating some "alpha" male, usually physical and financial, sometimes spiritual

* Approval associated with risk taking behavior. Binge drinking, criminal activity, extrajudicial punishment, etc

* Complicity through witness and increasing levels of participation

And especially

* Code of silence

A heinous fifth pattern is commingling this behavior with family / work culture, creating tension between "the code" and actual codes and relationships.

Ultimately these systems let sociopaths, narcissists, and other mentally unwell men to flourish and prosper precisely because they can easily adhere to these artificial "codes" and power structures vs traditional ones.

Edit: at the risk of coming across of overanalyzing, asking your son to help with the oil potentially contributes to this behavior. You as a male he looks up to is "recruiting" him to do something he has no interest in doing otherwise.

In a vacuum it's benign of course and not toxic but some awareness of the power dynamics and making sure your son knows the difference between a "good" ask and a "bad" ask and how to say no is important.

Just took the interview for the Senior JavaScript Developer position! (I'm not actually a js developer, but this was the closest I could find)

- It was very nice to have "two minutes from now" offered as an interview slot
- Interviewer: "Can you tell about a time you used typescript in a project"
Me: "I've only used typescript in personal projects, writing little games to play remotely with my family."
- Interviewer: "Can you tell about a time you demonstrated excellent collaboration at work?"
Me: "I worked closely with two other people when building product at my last company. I was the data science/ml expert, ..."
- Interviewer: "Can you tell me your English language proficiency?"
Me: "Very proficient."
- Interview over after about 3 minutes! No technical questions at all, sadly.
- A results email was sent to my inbox within a minute or two.

...

RESULTS

Highlights: Good collaboration skills, Experience with AI

Keypoints: Has only used TypeScript in personal projects, Demonstrated effective collaboration and initiative, Comfortable with English

Overall Score: 68%

English Level: B2

Looks pretty good! Agreed that a senior js dev should have some real experience with TypeScript.

But wait, what does B2 mean?

Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.

Hm. I am a native English speaker, and there are two levels above B2. This is a pretty big miss.

But overall, the process was so quick and painless that I'd certainly do it again, just for the chance to practice giving my canned responses to standard behavioral-type questions.
I haven't said that. I've said they've brought safety to the masses.
There is regulation for this in India (eg. Each call center needs to be licensed, needs an actual registered owner/point of contact, etc) but if you are doing this with political cover you might be protected. For example, if I am running a scam call center in Kolkata, I'd need to pay off the political party that controls that state - the TMC. And similar stuff happens in other states among all parties.

That said, scam calling is a uniquely large industry in Bihar and West Bengal as neither have a significant tech industry, and see very little foreign investment, so there is less incentive for state politicians to crack down on something that generates easy money. Most BPO and Software outsourcing companies in Kolkata and Patna tend to be the old school Indian outsourcing companies that got priced out of Bangalore/Gurgaon/Hyderabad/Pune because they have low margins, and thus pay lower salaries (around $3-7k a year compared to $20-70k a year in Tier 1 cities or product driven companies)
This is true, but there's still choice in how we expand and the default seems to be to do it as wastefully as possible.

The sexual assault allegations have not been put to law because every victim realizes that (a) it's a deeply miserable experience having to describe what happened to you over and over again, (b) a load of people will call you a slut on social media, (c) it may impair your chances of ever getting work again, and (d) if people don't believe you you may get countersued.

Courts and police are terrible at dealing with this stuff. That's the lesson of Weinstein, Savile, Rotherham, etc.

See e.g. David Carrick, Met police officer, who after 17 years was finally prosecuted and admitted guilty to 85 offences, after the Met had a brief outbreak of taking this stuff seriously after Wayne Couzens, another police officer was jailed for the murder of Sarah Everard.

It wasn't a hit on evolution, I specifically stated that it is as true as anything lacking a mathematical proof can be.

And yes, I know about little bugs changing color and bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.

But, strictly speaking, that isnt what we're taught is "science" in 10th grade, is it? That's really an observation of what we cannot control fitting nicely into our theories.

The embarrassing thing about evolution is that biologists keep having to tweek it in ways that are bewildering if evolution is (I think better) understood as information theory. For example, why did biologists reject horizontal gene transfer?

Anyway the whole field is sitting atop of an ignored quantity-quality emergent behavior which is also the most interesting question.

I have a deja vu over YAML and XML. There was a similar discussion about this a month or so ago, IIRC.

And I haven't changed my opinion since then, having worked extensively with XML: it is a plague that was brought on into the world and it needs to be killed with fire. I understand that when it was released there were no other alternatives so "it was better than nothing", but it should have died right after JSON was invented. But no, why have cleanly formatted file when you can have an XML one...
Your comment is ambigous.

What is the actual difference between React and Svelte? People don't actually know, but this isn't like the old days where React offered 10x (or more) performance increase over AngularJS without even trying to optimize. We're arguing "better" using very slim margins.

Looking at the geomean benchmark suite everyone uses, it's 1.33 for Svelte 4 and 1.67 for React. That's a mere 0.2x difference and most of that is due to row swapping performance from React iterating lists of thousands of elements -- hardly typical in most apps.

Your team will make THOUSANDS of decisions in your app that will make WAY more difference than 20%. Incorrectly nest some loops in your data processors and the performance difference will almost instantly outshine the update differences.

And all of this is without mentioning that the React team is working on a compiler that will offer many of the benefits you get from the custom Svelte compiler (though TBH, I dislike needing a special compiler for custom JS).

EDIT: I'd also add that the Stage 2 record/tuple proposal will make comparing props many times cheaper and should give a massive performance boost to React as this comparison is one of the things that slows it down.

Hey, we're working on this. Just wanted to polish the UI a little bit before creating a live demo. Will update you soon on this.
Some is custom built, some (in their server auction) are just bare consumer-grade ATX motherboards in compact shelves.

We ran two dedicated servers at Hetzner for about three years and had two disk failures. These, too, were consumer-grade Seagate disks, and both of them had been in use by prior customers. All in all it was not a bother and we definitely got our money's worth.

You're certainly right.

But in this case, no LTS would have covered, since the system was decades old.

The issue was that they had a poorly maintained service, hugely outdated, which is hard to secure, mingled with their main up-to-date stack.

Lesson: isolate the bad lemons from the good ones.
I've seen the demo and you're right, in cases where the code gets more complex, it does look way cleaner. I also really appreciate that you guys made it so that you can still use Svelte in the same old way.

But at the same time I just wish there was some other solution to this while keeping it implicit somehow. I would do anything to keep things implicit while solving the backend complexity some other way. The thing I most love about Svelte is the principle / vector of "as little learning as possible", as well as in many cases transfer of learning, makes it much more user friendly, and I wish evolutions of Svelte continued to evolve along that direction, by reducing more and more.

But things like `$something` are a bit strange. Even `$:` is strange. It adds cognitive load. It's not very English-like and in turn not easily parseable. `on:click` is closer to the attractor of user friendliness. I think all programming languages and frameworks should try to approach English or Python, to allow for maximum "transfer of learning" so things just feel like they flow "without thought". Taking inspiration from UI/UX... things should be as close as possible to 'understanding at a glance'

The gold standard would be to approach something like this level of intuitiveness in the future as crazy as it may seem: https://twitter.com/brianjoseff/status/1617556877218570241

I have many ideas on how, but it would no longer be a programming language.

The author of the letter, Dame Dinenage, is a Tory MP. To my mind, the letter is quite mild; there are no threats or demands, just questions. In view of her job as Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport committee, it seems a reasonable letter to write (even on House of Commons notepaper).
Linda Yaccarino on X: a hint of what’s to come

I've never heard that one. It has many more characteristics of a modern urban legend than the simple "janitor unplugs the server then plugs it back in" story. Urban legends are essentially modern day folk tales. They'll often involve fear, horror, or even humor, and they're frequently cast as cautionary tales. They tend to be reasonably detailed (which helps keep a listener's attention), but at the same time they frequently not pinned down to a specific time or place. They're almost always told as secondhand stories (e.g. it happened to "a friend of a friend"), and tend to fall at the edge of plausibility.

But, the key thing is that urban legends always reflect some sort of underlying societal belief or worry. "Janitor polishes off patients" is about the fear of death, and how it can come for anyone at any time, and there's nothing they can do about it. "Janitor unplugs server every night at 5" is probably more about the idea that strange things happen sometimes, but it usually turns out that there's a good explanation.

Not quite two weeks ago I was discussing the censorship that we face in the west with a few other users here. Some of them seemed to not quite believe their ears when I brought up the phenomena.

I think that some good can come of bills like this, and the letters which the UK parliament recently sent out to question various internet platforms about a users ability to operate on the platforms. Clear cut government censorship like this, can bring to attention how pervasive censorship in general actually is.

And I strongly hold that this is just the tip of the iceberg, the visible censorship, when governments ask explicitly try to stop freedom of speech, not only in their own countries but among neighbors as well. What lies beneath the surface is untold amounts of private censorship which certainly is not often government affiliated, but still politically motivated.
It's completely understandable. This is a significant and interesting upgrade to MongoDB that naturally gets people interested in a, "Hmmm… maybe I should take another look at MongoDB" way. Before wasting time, it seems sensible to use this forum full of experts to ask whether it would be worthwhile, and what the advantages or disadvantages would be. I didn't sense any negativity in the question, and it was the exact question I had in my head too. After skim-reading the article I went straight to scrolling down the comments to look for this exact question.
It might be easier, but it's strictly worse caching since all static assets get invalidated every deployment instead of just the assets which changed.
Where to begin...
If the schema is not there you are in the same position as with receiving some json or yaml: a bad one. Is 20230806 and integer or someones idea of sending a day?
Parsing the data into a memory structure is a one liner in any language. Assigning meaning however..
Object graph between languages as you subscribe works only in a very small number of cases. Sent your data to a mainframe and see it disappear faster than you can sent it.
Extensions is where xml shines: use an extension namespace. Hell use a namespace per plugin. Unknown namespaces are normally ignored during deserialization if you use a schema, so no line of code needed at al.
All the issues you describe boil doen in my book as: i don't know how to do this properly with xml so xml is bad.
why isn't the default secure? if the default isn't secure we have learned time and time again that people will use the default unknowingly exposing themselves to security holes.

Here's just a couple examples off the top of my head:

- `$variables` in bash are subject to arbitrary code execution via word splitting without escaping

- PHP register_globals

- PHP, express, and some others parse `?a[b]="foo"` in a query string as an object, allowing for prototype pollution or other exploits

- string concatenation for SQL + escape_string being the default for years

- perl array expansion in function calls

- XML entity inclusion on by default allowing you to read arbitrary files

- log4j executing arbitrary code inside its logs

- passing a variable to printf's first arg

- no difference between escaped and unescaped tags in php

- xargs splitting on whitespace

- yaml allowing arbitrary code execution (it got rails good!)

and there's probably loads more.
Sorry, a bit of a knee jerk reaction there.

Too many people want the poor to suffer, because obviously being poor is self inflicted.

Too much avocado toast or something.
Yyyy... Erlang has great adoption - examples:

- Ericsson (they designed Erlang) is using it for its mobile products/networks. Approx 40% of all mobile traffic worldwide goes through Ericsson's infra.

- WhatsApp used/uses Erlang - again millions (billions?) of users

- Bet365 / Klarna use Erlang - millions of users

- from OSS, RabbitMQ, is written in Erlang

I could go on... Erlang has great adoption, but it's probably smaller than, e.g. Python, due to Erlang's specific applications.
Thanks. Just what I was looking for.
> Mongo is a thriving database so I’m not worried about it being abandon.

With this, I can totally agree! And as long as it's not AGPL, you should be fine using it for most regular development stuff, even for closed source projects.
One cool feature would be to encrypt local SQL database with the user's key before syncing. The provider of the PostgreSQL database would have zero-access encryption while still having full SQL capabilities on the client.
Re garbage performance on stacking: I had tried interleaving the values (creating a 56x28 img), it dropped one percentage point of accuracy when using gzip.
On the gripping hand, trees are polyphyletic because the constraints of physics and biology push in a certain direction regardless of starting point; you can imagine there is some underlying mathematical rule to this abstract "tree" even if it isn't realized in all examples.
