That’s all smoke and mirrors from the builders. Most high end luxury features are cheap to install but they can charge a lot for them.

Lot size and location will matter but now they put houses right next to each other.

Townhomes with shared walls are even cheaper!

Builders will also complain about inspections though since time is money… but if you don’t have them they will take shortcuts.
I believe they're saying that the people who strongly complain about the brand that they drive are a subset of people who misuse their car and cause problems, or just always find something to complain about. That's why every single car brand has someone who complains about the brand.

No matter what brand they would have driven, they would have had something to complain about.
> It seems very hard.

Its not. From a most basic level you (whatever position you're in, I've been the laborer myself, later the foreman and more recently the superintendent, now the field engineer) must keep an eye out and do your part to first, instill the safety culture, secondly to enforce it and hit any lapses as soon as they happen (sit someone out, send them home, write them up) and third, show everyone that you fucking mean it and its not a bunch of empty words, typically, by pushing back against higher management when they're trying to push schedules and work loads down onto the field crews that aren't realistic.

Whether you're using emotional appeals with your field crews, pointing out that no one comes to work not to go home at the end of the day, and how harrowing it is to watch a friend get hurt or killed, how it'll effect their partners and families; or a hard nosed impersonal business logic to explain to schedulers that pushing the team won't make them any more productive, or to accountants that cutting the budget for cheaper PPE will only instill a bad taste, I can't deny it takes work. But again it isn't hard, in the end no one wants to get hurt. You have to get past that teenaged sense of invulnerability and get it into their heads that it can and will happen to them unless they're careful.

> Firing skilled laborers harms both the employer and the employee.

Crews come and go, grow and shrink. Firing a troublesome employee brings a lot less harm to both parties than someone getting hurt or killed.

In what way does my statement rely on counterfactuals?

I argued circa 2001-2002 that Microsoft had a history of legal brinkmanship and continued anticompetitive behavior through past consent decrees, and nothing in the Netscape decision would dissuade them.

The EU case in 2004-2008 demonstrated that, following the Netscape decision, Microsoft had not been dissuaded. They continued their anticompetitive behavior and legal brinkmanship, and this was confirmed by internal emails. This fact was why the EU penalties were so high. The judge explicitly wished the fines to be sufficient that Microsoft could not continue to view antitrust consent decrees as just a cost of doing business.

His argument that Microsoft was dissuaded is indeed a counterfactual argument. It is a counterfactual argument that contradicts facts established in later court cases.

This is why, over 20 years later, I stand by my previous belief. I think that my reasoning then was sound. And my predictions were validated by evidence introduced in later cases.
Yeah, I was gonna say. Sydney was existential early on - I'm not so sure I'll chalk this up to fantasy, but some of the things I (and many other people) can vouch about Sydney saying early on is VERY trippy on its own.

I think you need a unique index if you're doing something like this in MS-SQL, Postgres, or MySQL. Otherwise, the default isolation level won't prevent this data race:

writer A: begin xact, update, see 0 rows updated
writer B: begin xact, insert same thing, end xact
writer A: insert, end xact

One reason I use ON CONFLICT in Postgres is for explicitness. You're specifically telling the DBMS to upsert, and it'll throw an error if you don't have a unique index to support this.

Or you could use literally any other search program that works wonderfully, without the indexing process using an eyebrow raising amount of CPU? Including Microsoft's own shockingly fast file search in VSCode.

> feature rich version of Ryzen's IO die

The interconnect Intel is using is more expensive/sophisticated than AMD's (but less expensive than the TSVs for the X3D chips), so hopefully its pretty good in laptops?

AMD's IO die setup burns tons of idle power, which is why the laptop parts are still monolithic.

I took a university-level AI course in 1997, and I can tell you that GP is 100% correct. The course itself was mostly about how to teach humans to define what they wanted precisely enough to actually ask a computer to do it (utility functions, logic, Baysean mathematics, etc). Neural networks were touched on, of course; but the state of the art at the time was search.

Compiler optimization? AI. Map routing? AI. SQL query optimizer? AI.

I can't find it right now, but there used to be somewhere on the sqlite.org website that describes its query optimizer as an AI. Classically speaking, that's 100% correct.

Obviously there was always in people's minds the idea of AI being AGI; the course also covered Searle's Chinese Room argument and so on, "strong AI" vs "weak AI" and so on. But the nuts and bolts of artificial intelligence research was nowhere near anything like an AGI.
The simple approach mentioned in the article gets annoying if you have micro-services that don't share a DB. You could add a shared DB or a nosql DB but then you may as well just add Kafka. Of course the key question then shouldn't be kafka or not-kafka but if you over engineered on micro-services.

The fact there is an internet monopoly barring residents to use other internet providers is sad, especially given the impact on the GDP of the island if proper high speed internet and technological resources are available.

I have a feeling the government is doing the cease and desist as a hand wavy thing to make the internet company happy, but will put little if any effort in actually enforcing it (if there is even something that could be done legally).

Their body, their choice.

I support everyone's right to destroy themselves if they choose to do so.

If we don't have the right to destroy ourselves, how can we also have rights to build and better ourselves? How can we be said to own ourselves at all if we can't choose to destroy ourselves?

The idea that we can't be allowed to choose to harm or destroy ourselves is the most fundamental violation of the most basic of human rights.
It seems a lot of the complaints weren't about kafka itself, but rather seemed to stem from internal communication problems. Custom kafka message headers could very well be custom http headers, and the problem is the same. Kafka is just coincidental.

Looking at the volume though, kafka is overkill. They most likely could have just used the database and reaped the benefits of doing everything in a single transaction, with easier row level locking. The post acknowledges this.

I do think it highlights the need for a small scale kafka, though. It's conceptually great to have everything work off of logs, but kafka does add a non trivial operational burden.

My unspoken thought-objects are wordless concepts, sounds, and images, with words only loosely hanging off those thought-objects. It takes additional effort to serialize thought-objects to sequences of words, and this is a lossy process - which would not be the case if I were thinking essentially in language.

I think it's important with discussions like these to include the city or area, and time period.

I can say for sure that the subway in DC was better and safer than cars for the most part, when I was there many moons ago -

However if you look at the people who are riding the bus in my current city, or at the times when I was in Vegas.. and I've heard the NY subway at night is nothing like the DC subway..

These discussions can have all people right and all people wrong when they are discussing how they view their apples to others oranges.

Certainly not everyone. Personally, I pay little attention to that sort of thing at all. I don't care if it's a "dead" project or not -- as long as the software is meeting my needs, that's the only thing that matters. If/when it stops doing that, then I'll look for alternatives.
Here's my current favorite recipe for building complex job systems on PostgreSQL. I'm not thinking about "send an email"-type jobs, but bigger jobs that do complex tasks.

The usual trick I use is to have a `jobs.state` field containing "pending", "running", "done", or "error" (or whatever that job system needs). I only hold SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIPPED LOCKED long enough to:

1. Transition from "pending" to "running". Or a second time, to transition from "running" to either "done" or "error".

2. Store the current worker ID (often the Kubernetes pod name).

Then, I can build a watcher that wakes up every 5 minutes, and looks for "running" jobs with no corresponding Kubernetes pod, and mark them as "error". I try to never hold a lock for more than a second or two, and to never lock more than one job at once. This gets me 80% of the way there.

The reason I don't hold a transaction open for the entire job is because every transaction requires a PostgreSQL connection, and connections are surprisingly expensive. In fact, you may want to run connections through pgbouncer or a stateless REST API to avoid holding open hundreds or thousands of connections. Everything except PostgreSQL itself should ideally be stateless and restartable.

You might also have a retry system, or jobs that recursively queue up child jobs, or jobs that depend on other jobs, or more elaborate state machines. You might have timeouts. Most of these things are solveable with some mix of transations, some SQL, CREATE INDEX or CREATE VIEW. A database gives you so many things for free, if you're just a little careful about it.

And since Grafana supports SQL, you can easily build really nice dashboards for support and ops by just querying the tables used by the job system.

There are other ways to do it! But I'm fond of this general strategy for coarse-granularity jobs.

> I personally feel safer that passkeys aren't sync'd across multiple vendors' products.

Last time I checked into these hardware attestation was part of the specification but the ability export them from a vendors platforms is not. In practice that will mean unapproved platforms can be shut out and walled gardens strengthened. Which will happen sooner or later because it can. Apple supposedly zeroes their attestation but that is only a partial mitigation and relies upon the values of a giant corporation not changing its mind for any host of business reasons. And it does nothing to stop other platforms.
All I want is a basic tiny single threaded async runtime in std. No need for Send & 'static on everything. A modern single core is more than plenty for my workloads. Need more horsepower?
