Not that it matters, but I would be happiest if you just picked up InfluxDB 1.8.x, Kapacitor, and Chronograf again.

Really painful to see you guys abandon a great product lineup for the "we made our our programming language too!!!" hype train that was the hot thing 5-6 hypecycles ago. In the future, just stay off the hype wagon and stick to the core product.

The TICK stack was one of the coolest pieces of software developed and it is just unfortunate it was abandoned.

You as a private consumer wouldn't be able to buy one of these EAL4+ products without a relationship with a defense and security oriented reseller.
> Yeah, I really do not understand why these executives get such huge salaries.

Because they can. What do you have to fight back with? All you can do is bargain individually, and they'll laugh at that.
That's what I meant by "between" in this case. Apparently other people interpreted it differently.
When was the last time you drove 600 miles in one stretch?

In fact, when was the last time you drive 200 miles without taking a break?

Guess what! You rock up to a motorway service station, plug in your CCS connector, have a slash, stretch your legs, maybe buy a shitty coffee or a meal deal, and in that time you've got another 200 miles in your battery.

Honestly, if you're not taking regular breaks while driving, you're probably not driving safely.
Taxing businesses for employees' GHG emissions is far more convoluted than simply taxing the things causing GHG emissions at the point of sale.

You would need to figure out which employee is driving which kind of car with which kind of emissions systems, then keep records of all of that, and then hire people to audit it, and then prosecute corruption.

All unnecessary.

The direct impact will easily be felt by businesses who unnecessarily require commuting because they will become less competitive. They have to pay their employees more than their competitors to pay for the commute, hence the prices for their products/service are higher than a competitor who does not require commuting. Obviously, this does not manifest at $5/gallon. It needs to be something that hurts, like $30/gallon, and not just at the fuel pump, but at the refinery/extraction level so everything that causes GHG emissions gets hit.

It is simple, easy to audit, fewer entities to audit, fewer chances for corruption, and easier to prosecute if need be.
Six Words That Will Change Your Life
I was just evaluating InfluxDB yesterday for a commercial data streaming pipeline, but there are too many different names and versions that it is VERY unclear what's what, and what is actually available.
Other news, piracy skyrockets!
We don't need to disrupt an industry. We need to disrupt the fact that the global economy is set up to need continuous exponential growth or the whole thing collapses. It reached the point of diminishing returns long ago and is actively killing us at this point yet so many people, here especially, will deny that even as they suffocate.
(1+i) = scale by sqrt2 and rotate by 45deg

rotate45(rotate45(0deg)) = 90deg

sqrt2 * (sqrt2 * (1)) = 2

Length 2 in 90deg direction is 2i

What you highlight is nothing compared to what's needed, from chargers, to grid upgrades, to actual electricity production.
You've claimed this a lot, but the article says the opposite, and you've not addressed that.
> Mindfulness and CBT have a solid ground but have become a strong weapon in favor of the preservation of the status quo by convincing us we are just wrong in a perfectly fine environment (which in reality is not fine at all)

Becoming copacetic with the reality you actually live in is necessary to surviving any environment. Even dogs and prisoners understand this. Even the rich get depressed and kill themselves.

The most deranged people you come across are the ones who cannot accept the fundamental shortcomings, toxicities and inhumane dysfunctions of their environment. Most people don't have the guts for rebellion and are best served making the best of their situation. The ones who have what it takes don't complain, they just go immanentize the eschaton.

Look at wartime propaganda/psyops. Your own country will bombard you with positivity. The enemy will bombard you with negativity. One side has an interest in your continued survival. The other is actively trying to kill you.
We've switched to them based on Hashicorp Vault and I think they are an improvement in security and convenience.

Before SSH host certificates, using tooling like ansible was seriously annoying, especially to the monthly ansible users, compared to the daily ansible users. If you tried using ansible once a month without our host key certificates, you'd have ansible barf about a dozen unknown host keys due to them being rebuilt and other things. Then you fix that, then they do that one ansible run, then it lies around for a month and back you go to square one.

I'm not sure HOW you'd stage an actual attack there, but people got used to just accept SSH host keys whatsoever, so the vulnerability was there.

Now we have host key signing based on Vault. This is a huge improvement in my book. Base infra guys know when they've reset a VM to a base image (which resets SSH host keys), so they know when to expect a TOFU request from their SSH upon first connect to the just rebuilt system, so they accept those. Afterwards, one of the first things the config management does is to sign those host keys and then the accepted host keys are usually deleted again.

There probably is a window of vulnerability in there, but that's getting pretty hard to attack and I'm sure there are easier ones in the overall infrastructure.

The main problem at this however is that you need some safe and secure place for the CA, and ideally automation to sign those host keys. And it needs to be enough of a problem to do all of that.
I don't have a horse in the Unity issue, though I've been following it loosely. I can speak to my own response to another organisation.

I'd written off Reddit personally around five-six years ago. This despite having a fairly long-lived bloggy subreddit (and a small smattering of others) on the site, which I still use as a reference (despite having taken it private).

It wasn't specifically on account of the specific technical decisions they'd made, or the site changes (or lack of site changes) resulting, but the fact that those decisions were being made. That is, as with other business organisations I've encountered over the years, Reddit had repeatedly proven themselves antithetical to my own interests and values.

I suspect that's the issue Unity's going through here, and that though the final endgame may take some time in coming, it could well doom the company.

One business strategy that seems to have been increasingly widely adopted over the past decade or two, or perhaps I'm only simply far more cognisant of it and recognise it where it occurs, is the "walk right up to the creepy line" approach (as Eric Schmidt put it: <https://thehill.com/policy/technology/71739-schmidt-google-g...>), or moving products or services right to the pain or tolerance threshold.

In the short term this can work. It can even be successful over a longer term, in cases. But there are two inherent problems with the concept:

1. The threshold, whether it's pain, tolerance, creepiness, or whatever, can change, and often startlingly suddenly. At which point the organisation is caught high and dry.

2. The long-term erosion of trust and affection for the firm and its products effectively primes a trigger of latent demand for any viable alternative which appears. An example that comes to mind is the exclusive launch of Apple's iPhone in the US by AT&T. On the day that Verizon began officially supporting the iPhone on their own network, people were cramming Verizon stores and phone lines trying to make the switch. (A cow-orker at the time was one of those people.) They were absolutely fed up with AT&T's service and behaviour. See: <https://web.archive.org/web/20110112092318/http://www.engadg...> and <https://web.archive.org/web/20101007000511/http://online.wsj...>, discussed at the time: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2092273> and <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1765104>.

I've seen IBM, Microsoft, and Google subject to similar shifts, some more pronounced than others, over the years.

Leaving a considerable goodwill moat around offerings is an alternative. I'm too far outside the consumer mainstream to know what business, products, services, and/or brands exemplify this, though I suspect Costco and Trader Joe's might be among these.
You do with RDS and/or other hosted database services, hence their popularity.
> So folks who can't get their needs met from remote work can still remote work and find fulfillment elsewhere.

How? If my remote work makes my employer schedule 2 hrs of extra zoom meetings and the workday is now 8-6 instead of 9-5, how can I find fulfillment elsewhere? In that scenario, office seems better because I get to hang out with other people between 9-5. Remote is much worse if one likes to socialize.
One thing I don't like is that design system conversations end up discussing javascript frameworks. I just don't see how that's relevant at all to DS, and seems like poor separation of concerns.

I'm on the design systems slack channel, for instance, and I see designers asking all the time about react or whatever. The chosen technology stack should be an implementation detail from the perspective of the design team.
I wonder if the writers strike has anything to do with it. The studios are not going to make "less" money, so instead they will just increase the money, squeezed out of consumers by running commercials, and raising prices.

Deterring criminals requires consistent, accurate, fast reporting by customers which will never happen since customers have no incentive at all to report (not even considering the level of effort of educating the iPhone customer base abotu how to report).

It's hard to see the Democrats as supporting the super-wealthy MORE when the Republicans are running Donald Trump who introduced a ton of tax breaks for his buddies, and the proposals for wealth taxes are coming from the democrats.

I am however increasingly seeing the Democratic Party leave the middle class and start to pull more of their electorate from the fringes of the poor and wealthy, whereas republicans have more of a middle-class focus nowadays. So there has been a notable re-alignment with the democrats focusing more on the wealthy with the trend I suppose starting with Clinton.
Terrible. Where did you read that? I admit I skimmed the article, but didn't see this detail.
Neat. Will check it out.

I recently spotted a (new to me) foreach / else construct in a templating language (sorry, forget which one); else is invoked if the list is empty. Nice sugar for common outputs like "no items found".

I appreciate modest syntactic sugar.

For instance, my #1 sugar wish is for Java's foreach is to do nothing when the list reference is null. Versus tossing a NPE.

Eliminates an unnecessary null check and makes the world a little bit more null-safe.
5G? Homeopathy? chemtrails?
I can't imagine many suitable production use cases too. Alternatives like Planetscale, Supabase or Neon are even easier to use and at the same time much more powerful. If latencies around 50 ms are too much for the specific use case, SQLite with Litestream could be a great solution. Otherwise I'd go with managed Postgres/MySQL solutions.

>If i was in charge of deciding whether or not to hire you, I would not, based on this comment.

Good thing we don't hire people based on social media comments then! It really looks like you just took an opportunity to use careful language to bully someone that you just didn't need to.
I’m a professional pianist; so I’m not in your target audience. There may well be some system of notation that is superior to the standard that has developed in Western music; but nothing I’ve seen matches the expressive flexibility and compactness of the way music is now notated.

Experienced players read music in a way that overcomes some of the limitations that form the assumptions that are behind these alternative notation systems. Instead of looking at a measure as a collection of individual notes that must be perceived, interpreted and executed in sequence, they take it in as a chunk. (I imagine reading code must be similar.) This is why the density of traditional notation isn’t intimidating - after a while it can be read as a whole.

Whether a system like this could be a pedagogical bridge to formal notation remains to be seen. I’ve encountered such bridging systems before. I’m an admitted skeptic because my orientation to this is that if you want to learn a thing, just start learning the thing. The struggle, within limits, is known to enhance learning.
It’s still an optimization problem, and the results might be surprising
My 2 cents. Dad of 5 and 1.5 year old girls. Work at startup. Wife in PE.

Time with kids is important for sure. Many commenters rightly point that out with their own anecdotes. But, equally important is time to deal with yourself, the good, the bad, the etc.

Something that happens is your anxiety spikes. So, you're determined to spend time with your kids but also anxious about logistics or where/how to fit that time in relative to other demands.

So, you're anxious with and around your kids. That doesn't help them much either. In fact, I think lots of anxious moments in parenting would be better left ignored. In other words, your time with them is sort of good and bad - anxiety is contagious. They benefit from your presence but feel the stress like you do too.

Long story short: just focus on enjoying your time with them, and worry less about what you're doing, how much time you're spending, and certainly cut a lot of the overthinking.
Do something badly enough and you can create more harm than good.

Negative confirmation bias being a big one. Do a half-assed job of trying to change someone's mind and they become even more recalcitrant.

I long ago realized I'm not the person who should be leading a group or a club. I respect people who can, and I support them as best I can. It's important work, but it's not for me. Which sucks when the club doesn't exist (I'm currently trying to encourage a couple of people to start one and it's not going well)
We don't find it hard. We sit down one or two times during the week in the evening and I enter all our transactions into KMyMoney. It takes 5-10 minutes to do once you get the hang of it. This is across 5-10 accounts. You might have a little more work to do with 10-20 accounts.

On Paisa (ledger). I like it! But...KMyMoney has such a nice interface for recurring/future payments and reports (that I can edit to suit our needs) that I'm struggling to see the point of ledger behind gui for our use case. It does look nice though.

What about clueless employees who think remote is great for their needs but is actually counterproductive to what the company needs?
>"but then it will weigh an extra .237oz!" Shut up.

It's not fair to dismiss this argument. The vast majority of people don't care if it's user serviceable and will prefer that the device weighs .237oz less than be user serviceable. This isn't some niche market we are talking about, we are 16 years after the release of the first iPhone. My account on this forum is 11 years old, and this point has been argued for almost that entire time. As much as been hand wringing about customers not caring about .237oz in favor of user serviceability, there have been countless smartphones released that people didn't buy. "Shut up" isn't a product strategy. "Perhaps they should design something users don't want" is a silly statement at this point.
The Steam client was always, and is still, a gigantic pile of shit. The massive CPU usage when idle, the crazy game start delays, it's all plain and obvious to anyone who installs it.

But for some reason people will insist on ignoring those problems, or instead compare it to some earlier experience with standalone games or some Microsoft pile of garbage, and will defend Steam in places like this.

Valve's Steam service is super nice for consumers (though developers get squeezed terribly), but the client is just horrible.
In a Monarchy, or Oligarchy, not everyone who thinks they can make into the ruling class will manage to do so.

Umm I'm sure they didn't include the North South line in Amsterdam in this comparison. It took decades, was billions over budget (total bill around 3.1 billion euro), collapsed houses. All for 9.7km / 6 miles of subway with 8 stations.

Didn't read TFA but if the US is more expensive than that per mile then yeah you're really doing it wrong :P
I had a ton of time to kill in an airport recently, so for a little while I hung out at the end of the TSA line to let the confused passerby know that yes... this is the end of the line for peasants. Nobility goes over there. I think I did a much better job than the existing signage--branding sort of confuses the matter.

Had a lot of fun conversations with other peasants about whether this is the kind of privilege that the french revolution was fought over. The nobility didn't have as much time to stand around and water the seeds of revolution. Seemed fitting.
you could technically also use an app like iTerm2.app which lets you control most of this.

> My family received this benefit when my father broke his leg and was unable to work. It was amazing and me and little sisters didn't starve for the several months when we had no money.

This is tackling the problem from the wrong side. Breaking a leg and being unable to work should not keep youe employer (or your medical insurance) from paying your salary. You know, like in most developed countries (except the US). People should be able to afford being sick, even for extended periods, with full salary (okay, it drops to around 70% after 12 weeks or so)
Well, some TI's aren't even allowed on the SAT. I think the reasoning is that they can solve equations for you. They do allow other TI's that can do this, but only if you format the equation appropriately. If GP is envisioning an even more powerful calculator, then it certainly wouldn't be allowed.
I think these criticisms are valid (at least for Cython 2) and they are well explained. But I don't see this article mention the main benefit of Cython from my experience, which is the speed increase you can get from Pythonic code annotated with a few types. The suggested alternatives don't really address that same use case.
No; we use AWS Direct Connect for access from our on-premise networks.

Chargers are a non-issue. Every EV can charge from a standard 13 amp socket. Plug it in overnight and you'll be full the next morning. Or, upgrade to a 7kW charger - which usually come as part of a new car purchase.
It's already pretty nice. Very fast, CUA shortcuts (that are also shown at bottom), indeed very few dependencies. Good work.
Using Temporal is in the category of building it yourselves, not a billing service. But it makes it take much less time to build, because it makes the changes, scaling, and grandfathering quick to do.

There is a test for plastics where they weigh a block of plastic then soak it in water and weigh it again. For some plastics the gain in weight can be a few percent.

That's not the standard. The standard is negligence. A waiver will protect your whitewater rafting company if someone injures themselves as part of a well-run tour. There is always a chance of mishap, the people who take these trips know it, and the waiver reminds them. It will not protect your company if the mishap occurred because you don't have enough life jackets for all the passengers or if you don't check your rafts for leaks before the trip.
>Me? I actually think pushing app logic to the DB is a solid, underrated, and possibly even optimal solution for a lot of scenarios.

The languages for writing it are not as comfy as traditional programming languages, which affects how expressive and maintainable your code will be. The tools for debugging a regular language might also be better than debugging application logic in SQL. Having done some of this in T-SQL, it's very tedious day-to-day compared to writing C#.
I used to be in the stateless camp. But I think we pushed that argument too far. Stateless apps are not very useful. Most useful apps are stateful. What we are doing with promoting stateless services is just delegating the necessary stateful complexity to someone else, sweeping it under the carpet. By doing that, we are losing so many opportunities to do smarter and better things where the complexity really lies, which is where the state is. That’s why I really appreciate SQLite and other approaches like using KV embedded databases like RocksDB making a come back. That’s the job of the infrastructure providers, AWS, GCP, DO, and others, to provide the tools solving the problems you mentioned: block storage that is synchronously replicated across data centers (GCP does this), snapshots and backups on block storage, possibility to quickly reattach the block storage to a new computing node if the previous one died, etc.

True, isn’t gas very expensive in the UK too? I guess even less of them will own cars now.

Yes. The move from 0 to 1 click exploits (thanks to putting Flash/Java behind a click) in the early 2000s marked a massive negative shift in attacker capabilities and ultimately destroyed multiple (black market) exploit dev businesses.
The entire civil war and times surrounding Marius and Sulla would make an amazing movie. Its a real shocker that Hollywood hasn't picked it up yet. Not that I trust Hollywood to make anything good anymore. I think Caesar gets alot of attention due to the way he was murdered. And it was the "end" of the Republic. You also have Marc Antony and Cleopatra in there, which is a good story.
