Such is life. This perspective seems coming from an application developer who is seeing the database as an extension of the app. When you're big enough to have a database ops team, they will come with a different perspective, and most likely be highly skeptical of storing schema changes in the database.

The first comment is from the Cofounder and he lists the _features_ that motivated a rewrite:

>Then there's the question of why we did a rewrite at all. We wanted to get at some important requirements:
>Unlimited cardinality
>Analytics queries against time series at the performance of a columnar DB
>Use object store as the durability layer for historical data (i.e. separate compute from storage)
>SQL and broader ecosystem compatibility
>All of that stuff taken together meant that we'd be rewriting most of the core of the database.

The post office found that money was "missing". It went after the sub-postmasters. The sub-postmasters didn't know that it was a systemic issue, they were told to plead guilty to reduce their sentence.

Unless you have a credible lawyer, and have a clue that something in the system might be wrong, then you're not going to know.
I’m not claiming those observations prove dark matter. I’m saying they are problematic for the claim that this is an instrumentation issue.
When it’s easier and (value of time) cheaper, why not?
Years of creating artificial reefs from old tires are catching up. I wonder how sharp those people are? Next we should find about how those giant ships that blow their exhaust under water and kill all life.
(France is closer to Scotland than Arizona)

Also, as in Japan, the expectation of quality and the buyers for the suppliers have vastly different definitions of quality.

As with anywhere, you can easily choose to buy farmed or wild, whatever you want.

The higher level point I'm trying to make is that you can't go to Costco in France and get that cheap Chinese factory trawler caught fish like most Americans buy frozen from Walmart or Costco.

What the average American callas acceptable fish would not he what the average French person calls accepable.
That would make the system even easier.

The point of this proposal is that with rotation someone could not prove that a message hadn’t been forged retrospectively. It would then be almost impossible to establish an airtight chain of custody
A kia Nero EV is ~200kg heavier than the ice version. That's equivalent to two passengers. The weight delta of large vehicles is far more of an issue than drive train differences.
Fortunately, this is a solved problem.

Professional Engineers and Architects in non-software fields require licensing. One can't legally give yourself those titles in other fields. You have to prove you have the map nailed down in your mind. And not just your map, but enough of all related design disciplines to reason about them effectively. This is done via extensive testing. In addition, the applicant must have several years of experience - documented and signed off by a senior licensed professional - before test results hold any weight. Once you obtain a license, you must continue to submit proof of continuing education to maintain it.

The skilled trades also to rely on testing and supervised experience. Training intensity and requirements at this level do vary a bit across the US, but anyone would still have had to work their a* of f to get there

In both the skilled trades and professional design, the correlation between licensing/trade rank and minimum expected capability of any given employee are strong enough that they can be used in spreadsheets to accurately estimate delivery schedules. Those who exceed minimums can expect to be given additional responsibility and compensation. If that expectation isn't met, the professional certification holds its value and may be reliably taken elsewhere for better compensation.

What isn't solved, however, is why designers in other disciplines aren't compensated at the same rate as unlicensed software professional
Yeah, text is superior for these kinds of topics. But ads and SEO spam have destroyed discoverability for writing. The same hasn't happened for videos yet. They can still be monetized and that justifies the time and effort needed to make a video.
In this case, the features we kept getting asked for by our customers necessitated a change in underlying database architecture. I talk about that quite a bit in the reddit thread.

I totally agree that a rewrite is risky. It's not something I'd choose to do again, but at the time we didn't really see any way around rewriting the bulk of the database (even if we kept it implemented in Go).

Using Rust and the Arrow ecosystem of projects (Parquet, DataFusion, Flight) meant that there were a ton of things we didn't have to do from scratch. One of our staff engineers, Andrew Lamb, has called it a toolkit for building databases. Thanks in part to his contributions, I think he's right.
Why on earth would you live your life by a sub single digit percentage swing in an abstrusely calculated macroeconomic statistic?
The problem of dark matter isn't best thought of as 'dark matter is theorized as an explanation for observations'. It's better thought of as 'observations of the mass of matter in the universe are inconsistent with observation of the amount of light coming from matter in the universe'.

Matter generally does two things: interacts with other matter through gravity, because it has mass; and emits EM radiation, because it has temperature.

When you look at galaxies and try to figure out how much matter they contain, if you look at the gravity, you get one number for mass that implies one quantity of matter; and if you look at the EM radiation, you get a smaller number that implies a lower quantity of matter.

So the conclusion is, there must be some matter that's causing the gravitational effects, but that's not emitting any EM radiation. Matter that is dark. Dark matter.

I blame George Lucas for a lot of this confusion. When people hear 'dark matter' they think it's dark in the sense of 'mysterious'. It's way more literal than that. It's just matter that's dark.
What did I miss? Someone stole a robot with a camera. Video from the robot's camera was given to the police about this case. Normally, all video from the robot's camera is deleted per a short retention policy.

While sitting a public area working on my computer minding my own business not interacting with anyone, a drug user who looked like some of the people abusing the robot in the video had threatened to beat me last week. I spoke with the business with a camera to see if they had evidence of this. The camera also recorded the voice. I called the police and made a report submitting evidence of the assault. How is this different. The camera and police acted as they should. Why is this bad? I'm happy there was camera recording.
I am baffled by your claim that restaurant prices are $40-50 per person. Except in Romania where dining out has surged in price, or in coastal ripoff Montenegro or Croatia, I would be hard pressed to spend more than about $20-25 per person in Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo, or Albania for dinner. (I have no recent Bulgarian experience.) Do you eat at those few places for the local upper class, or order expensive wine or spirits with meals?
This is the problem with the trawls
> in that adding more mass accounts for the observed behaviours without changing the known laws of physics

I disagree with statement in that I feel this is an incorrect interpretation of what transpired with physics.

Classical physics, modified and tweaked over the centuries, worked well and it’s still valid for the domains where it was already conceived and tested for.

The cracks in the model
formed when we pushed experimental boundaries.

Very high speed and extremely tiny were both new, but most (all?) of the vetted modern models will simplify down to
classical physics when in every day conditions.

The new boundary condition is galactic scale mass and distance but with mostly (?) non-relativistic speeds and probably subtle GR gravity conditions.

MOND? Darkmatter? It’s good science explore all avenues, not shutdown a discussion until conclusive evidence and lack of rebuttal shows otherwise.

Otherwise it’s not science. These days, I’ve started to suspect that it’s not scientists that have such a black and white view and certainty.
Literally the first paragraph seems to spell out everything quite clearly, so your entire comment is a straw man.

I would be very careful with your outlook on consuming news, with the amount of bias displayed in your comment, is very obvious your filter will remove a significant amount of factual information from your understanding, drastically reducing the quality and quantity of information available to you.
The obvious solution is to switch from plastic back to paper tires. /s

But seriously, I think EVs help with lower brake emissions, since regeneration is a different process. The issue with tires is at least partially a choice: drive like a normal person and you don’t have to emit (much — there’s still the extra weight) more tire bits.

I wonder if it’s possible to design tires from materials that will biodegrade in the ocean/environment, or at least sink?
This would be so cool, hopefully this helps get nuclear off the ground.

I agree with you that the US does not have the political legitimacy for conscription right now, and its surprising that they did for WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. None of those conflicts were existential for the US, they were all power plays of some kind.
> 16-bit audio can perfectly reproduce audio as far as we can physically tell.

Imagine encoding a sort of real world dynamic range across 16-bits. This would go from 0db to 100db in volume. This would need more than 16-bits which yields an SNR of about 96db. The dB values are different and not comparable but you can see we don’t capture the full dynamic range of human hearing very well.
One wheel, one life.
There is also bodily vigor to consider.

When you are strong you are resistant. When you are weak you are susceptible. The difference can be huge.

It's a good argument for clean living, regular exercise etc.
This argument about EV resource use for construction is fossil fuel industry FUD. The difference is outweighed within a year or two of driving versus an ICE vehicle.
Thanks for your reply! Dumb question (I couldn't find a definitive answer) but will v3 InfluxQL be compatible with v1? Is there an article about the changes between v1 and v3?
I have eaten simply cooked salmon in France many times, no sauce.

Its not that.

It's that the average French person has a more refined and demanding pallette than the average American.

The factory trawler caught frozen fish we purchase in huge quantities at Walmart and Costco is simply terrible compared to what you would find in the average French grocery store.

It's not like all the salmon in the world is the same. Go to a poisspnerie in France, you will find out what I'm talking about.

Exactly. Designing transit systems around cars was a colossal mistake. Now that the data are clear, it's time to rebuild. Over the next few decades, we need to tear down existing car infrastructure and replace it with walking/biking/transit.

A side benefit (aside from the particulate pollution, energy waste, noise pollution, high death toll, increased inter-destination distance, decreased QOL) is that it'll be like an order of magnitude cheaper. Cars are a rather expensive way to get around. The Netherlands actually considers biking to be +17cents per mile (as in, considered revenue), because of reduced healthcare costs.
American. I only use couple for 2. Few(er) is countable (v some, less or more). Several is an ambiguous countable small number greater than 2 but probably no more than 5 (v bunch, which is also ambiguous and countable but more than several).

I will continue to use them this way.
Hah! Cars have been around for just a hundred years or so, and yet serious efforts to reduce our dependency on them are
"near impossible." Talk about recency bias.

The article doesn't blame global warming directly and does mention the drought.

What is your problem?
The arguments inevitably and only boil down to "look, our model converged". The point is, dark matter is not a theory, just a supposition that can always be "proven" with conveniently arbitrarily flexible models (no one can see it so it might be anywhere!).

There is no positive theory that has been brought out to explain dark matter, only mere deductive hypothesis about where it would be. Deduction needs a culprit so people keep reaching for different kinds of particles. Jury's out on whether they exist but keeps the experimentalists employed, so at least it's worth that much.
Another alternative to timescale could be hydra. Haven’t tried it myself but the promise of columnar tables seems wildly useful.

Munich-born dude here. I'm glad when it's finally. fucking. over. even though it wasn't as bad as it used to be this year in public transport, no idea why - usually all kinds of trains are packed with people drunk out of their mind.

The problem is that a lot of prime real estate is taken over by an army of hotels that are only at ~50-60% load on average [1] but packed during Oktoberfest and the Bauma trade fair with prices skyrocketing to hundreds, even thousands of euros per night [2]. On top of that come all the more or less legal AirBnBs which are just as much of a goldmine, with Oktoberfest yielding enough to pay for a whole year worth of rent.

Fuck that completely unsustainable shit. I'm sick of the exploding rents, cost of living in this shithole of a city, and by the looks of it I'll be out in a year.

I think it depends on what the public feels is at stake.
That's something else entirely.

You could have someone who is solidly in the investment class and only works three hours a year, but during those three hours they tell their pet executives to put the capital into energy storage tech and new housing construction and do a lot of good in the world.

You could have a low-level white collar worker who isn't making very much money at all, all of it in wages, who decides to screw over the company's customers with something economically inefficient because it gives them some advantage in internal corporate politics.
I'm not talking about big tech, I'm talking about all businesses/corporations (except for obvious sex/drug/alcohol businesses). Businesses and corporations are always predetermined with a purpose, that purpose is always and unequivocally (barring extremely unusual businesses) to provide some sort of service or product to society. That by definition is an unselfish entity. A corporation is not even a human being, so it cannot be selfish; only when money has been extracted for a business can it become selfish.

Humans, on the other hand, have selfish purposes: I want to become rich, I want to own fast cars, I want to travel the world, I want to eat good food. Businesses build services and products to earn a profit based on creating value for society. Businesses should not be taxed, only when money is extracted to individually should it be taxed!!
Sometimes people won't believe you, even with the facts in front of them, because their world is too small for them to conceive that what you did is possible. You don't want to work with those people, but they exist.

I had a fairly senior hiring manager for an investment bank call me a liar to my face, basically because he couldn't understand how a consultant can have more than one client at once, and so my CV is non-linear! I dodged a bullet there.
I was being charitable. It will be vastly worse for the US. And in the event of a war with China it could very plausibly be the end of the US as a unified state. There will certainly be plenty of political violence.

The problem is that we humans are choosing not to adapt because it isn't profitable enough, and animals simply cannot adapt quickly enough to keep up.

The real "mass suicidal extinction event" is what we are currently doing, sitting idly while we are boiled like a frog in a pot. You are not going to be a hero to your children when they inherit a world where a large percentage of animal species has gone extinct, major cities have had to be abandoned because they are no longer compatible with human life, and dozens of wars are being fought over essential resources.

How are you going to explain to them that you willingly brought them into such a world?
The Tourist Oktoberfest in Munich is good to experience once, but I have no intention to ever go again. Queueing in the hope you can get into a tent, asshole bouncers, and massive crowds took the shine off a bit. You get a table and never leave until you're kicked out. The cost of the beer doesn't include the massive tips you're expected to give the beer women either (which they deserve)

The lack of a hangover after copious amounts of beer was quite a nice surprise though.

A lot of people can't look beyond their own generation and if it's something that takes 20-30 years to realize they just simply think it's too difficult. I see this with my generation (Gen-X), newer generations and even older generations.
> no good reason is ever given as to why it could be matter and not anything else

The options are 1. matter; 2. energy; 3. new physics.

We'd expect pure energy to not stay still for long enough to do anything.

Lots of people are looking for new physics, and would be anyway even if it weren't for all the things that made us look for dark matter in the first place, because of the whole "relativity and quantum mechanics don't play well together, and neither is sufficient by itself" problems.

Dark matter requires something new, given it can't be explained by baryons or black holes, so it too needs some new physics — though as "matter" it would be in the particles-and-fields area rather than the how-does-spacetime-even area which the not-actually-matter solution would be.
1.3M members under invite constraints. The implication is that number would probably explode if opened up. They aim to drum up excitement, but it’s a fine line. It’s also to buy time to build out the tech.

To be clear, I’m only offering an interpretation, not my personal opinion. I currently sit on ten invite codes for Bluesky. Among my friends I’ve offered to that have declined, I get the impression that they’re in “wait and see” mode. At least one has told me as much explicitly too.
I quit after Musk personally intervened to reinstate a user that posted CSAM. The offending material remained online, undetected by automated systems for many many hours, receiving hundreds of thousands of impressions.

This strongly indicated to me that Twitter is utterly failing in detecting CSAM. Musk’s decision to reinstate the account indicates that the reason theyre failing is that Musk doesn’t particularly care about sharing of child abuse material on his platform.

The blue check changes were annoying but this made using twitter feel straightforwardly unethical.
