>> and the thermal solution is only just meeting the spec.

Ok, so, as I alluded to earlier... make sure to have better-than-minimum-spec cooling to let the processor indefinitely run all cores at the boost clock (or very close to it).

It's been a long time since I've seen a desktop/workstation processor limit itself to the base clock for any reason.

Also, I agree with dralley. Clock speeds are unlikely to be the issue there anyways.
Signal has no concept of trust delegation: also, the verification API is extremely hidden and sucks (i.e. my brother working at a FAANG had no idea it existed or what it did - it's also extremely confusing when you open it).

This creates two problems: (1) is that Signal functionally operates as "trust on first use", and (2) Signal has no system by which you can communicate to "conceptual entities" - i.e. companies. There's no way in Signal to talk to say, a bank or a government agency as an entity (IMO: to turn a profit, this is the business Signal actually need to be in).

Which makes it a bit of stochastic security measure: encrypt enough communications and probably when something important does come up, the window to intercept it has failed - except of course, that those verification number messages nobody knows what to do with and so they ignore them.
I've worked at a place that architected 100s of microservices pretty well, in a similar way that Uber apparently does.

Q1: (perf) these tools exist, the buzzword phrase is "distributed tracing". The relationships are actually not explicitly defined for the tooling to work, but rather inferred. Visualize a network call as a call-stack, where each service is a level in the stack. Jaeger (a CNCF project addressing distributed tracing) was coincidentally started by Uber.

Q2 (stubs): In my experience, mocked responses get you a long, long way. Typically the API response type that you're mocking is generated from a protobuf (or thrift, OpenAPI, etc.) file. If your dependency changes that type in a way that breaks your test, the CI platform will let them know.

If it's a more subtle change (like, it used to deterministically return 18 and now it deterministically returns 20), it's really on the service owners to communicate changes and grep the code base before making the change.

Q3 (logging/metrics): Typically by using shared "logging" and "metrics" lib for each language. Every service will typically be a gRPC service and accordingly a standardized + generated-from-protobufs set of metrics to Prometheus, by default.

Q4 (how to upgrade common libraries): this is definitely a tricky one. The answer is, basically, really carefully. Typically, you'll want your infrastructure to be compatible with vX and vX+1, and give teams a deadline to cut over from logging X to X+1. The couple of weeks before that deadline usually involves a lot of cat-herding and handwringing.
And really, it primarily benefits business owners who live by a different motto (making money work for you). Each employee who “puts the nose to the grindstone”/“puts their back in to it” generates more profit for the company but doesn’t need to be paid more. Then when their health deteriorates enough that they can’t do the work they can be replaced.

Apologies for the roughness of this late-night reply. I feel like people here know this intuitively already anyway.
> Are they conflating fido2 hardware tokens with “google owns your credentials, and you can’t back them up” passkeys?

Passkeys are an open standard, not a Google SSO service. You can use it with Apple devices (where passkeys shipped well before they did on Google devices), 1Password, etc. without having a Google account at all.

The concern around backups is partially true (backups are possible, exchange between implementations is in progress) and I think that’s where the confusion is coming from: the whole point of passkeys is that your private key can’t easily be stolen and the first implementations did that only within specific services with known characteristics - for example, Apple’s iCloud Keychain robustly backs up the keys (even against complete loss of all devices) but only in that service, which is understandable given their audience and the exposure. All of the major vendors have committed to interoperable private key exchange as things mature and we’re already seeing that with e.g. 1Password and iCloud Keychain allowing you to share keys with other people.

If you know what you're making, sure. Europeans kind of lucked out historically, since there was a lot of glass technology in the lead up to optics and then microscopes.

Fast fashion isn't women exclusive, but the fashion cycle is so much shorter for women that the very notion of fashion being "fast" almost only makes sense for them *.

I actually wonder what fashion style a woman could get away with wearing for 10 years. It would probably need to be almost monotone, covering, and with little to no affordance. A white long straight skirt with a black or cream T shaped top ?

* There will be a non negligeable number of men also caring about fashion and follow a shorter cycle, but that's far from the norm.

3D images have captivated me since I was a kid. A frequent source of amusement was the "Victorian wallpaper effect" and even without a viewer I could easily see classic stereo photo pairs in 3D. Not at all difficult to see the "hidden" objects in the article's quite nice illustrations.

While popularity of SIS imagery isn't what it was a few decades ago, programmer interest in the subject has remained quite strong.

As an artist I enjoy incorporating SIS images in my work. In the past I've used a number of open-source SIS generators. Mostly these programs weren't completely satisfactory. A common defect was producing SIS artifacts marring output image appearance.

Subsequently I wrote a SIS program (with GUI for usability) [0] that almost entirely eliminated artifacts in the finished images. Developed with artists' interests in mind, its SIS output looks different vs. examples in the article. (Using depthmap and texture/pattern image inputs, the latter determines the "surface" appearance of the SIS.) However both SIS styles have the same 3D effect capability.

This is exactly why the "microservices" pattern is usually adopted along with the "monorepo" pattern. IMO, it's a strong anti-pattern to have the former without the latter.

Sorry, I'm being too handwave-y, what I meant (and what i assumed parent meant) is simply that those single bytecode operations are safe thanks to the GIL, so your dictionary or list isn't going to become corrupted because of simultaneous writes.

like l=[], then l.append(1) and l.append(2) running concurrently will not end up in some weird scenario where the length of the list is 1 yet you stored two items... anyways, I agree with the comment you posted higher up in the discussion, and that was my understanding.
I love the "theory" that optical media, especially the golden DVDs will be readable in "100 years" or whatever hilariously optimistic length of time claimed. Sure, DVDs and even CDs i have carefully stored in a humidity controlled environment worked the last time i checked, there's always the risk that the next time i pull them out of storage they won't. I think blu-ray is claimed to be even longer than DVD for storage, and i guess it makes sense in theory, the QC/QM needed to pack 120GB on a 12cm disc must be wild.

I agree that the verification UI sucks. I have similar stories about otherwise technical people not knowing about it or otherwise not understanding it.

At the same time: the relevant comparison here is email. Email isn’t even TOFU between arbitrary identities; it’s trust-on-each-message. Similarly for conceptual identities (like a bank’s catch-all address).

I think it would be reasonable to store a fixed-focus compound microscope as part of your archive. That's basically a tube and a couple of lenses, and it gets you to 500x right off the bat.

Short term planning can mean anything to an observer though. For some, that's the next cycle, others thats the next 10 years.

Microsoft employs a huge squadron of engineers, managers, and execs, all owning distinct products, tools, software, etc.

They can have multiple people planning short and long term things, and they do. I doubt Microsoft will cease to exist within the next 10 years.
The better answer though is that it's a misdirect: they're pointing at encryption as the bad guy, the one thing which takes place solely in the digital space and is activity-agnostic - nothing which happens with encrypted bits, by itself, can do anything in the real world.

"Pedophiles and terrorists" on the other hand, have to do a lot of things in the physical world in order to actually be pedophiles and terrorists. And the vast majority of work taking them down is infiltration - which is to say, nobody breaks encryption, they break trust - which is much easier, and has side-benefits like "generating actual evidence".

I’m not sure I see the point here. I made bad apps and made no money isn’t much of a lesson. The app market isn’t saturated you just intentionally made useless things. If you look at the one app where any significant money was made it was because it was actually useful (at least for a certain period of time). Build useful things and market them well. Don’t build “trash” and cross your fingers.

Have you even visited Australia, and even slightly outside its cities? And then have you visited New Zealand? To have done so and still believe they are equally fertile would require some incredible cognitive dissonance.

> Australian lands are so fertile that it half Asia with wheat and meat

Modern agriculture is very different to ancient agriculture. We didn't have combine harvesters, high-yield evolved (or GMO) crops, fuel-driven pumps, bores that can collect deep group water, tractors to build irrigation and dams etc. Not sure how you could overlook any of this.

> staple of Aboriginal stories

Citations needed. Won't pretend I'm an expert on this, but I'll wager you aren't either. The risk of famine increases with population, especially a population that isn't self-sufficient. It's a post-agricultural phenomenon, which is not to say a tribe couldn't starve, but it's much harder. There's much evidence to say that cooperation, trade, and intermarriage with neighboring was a significant part of indigenous societies, likely borne out of necessity.

> A single very dry season in a particular part of Australia meant its inhabitants would have to feed on someone else's land or die trying.

Dry seasons were less of a problem than you might think, as indigenous people knew where all the water holes were, and could read the landscape^ to know where to dig to get to water. Not enough for expansive agriculture, but certainly enough to survive in one of the harshest environments in the world.

^ A common painting for central Australian tribes is the 'seed story' where they observe that ants have collected seeds to a location which reveal the location of a 'soakage'. Digging in this area, water can be found.

We're going in circles here. As mentioned earlier the MSDS provided by bayer clearly says you shouldn't get it on your skin or ingest it. Therefore it's pretty clear that glyphosate isn't "safe", at least in those circumstances.

>Farm workers wearing PPE will be exposed to elevated levels of glyphosate no matter how hard they try because humans aren't perfect.

You can make the same argument for chainsaws. Earmuffs aren't comfortable to wear in 100 degree weather. Should they be liable for hearing loss for the same reason?

Email these days is however tied to DKIM and domains. We have UI problems, but communicating to a companies email servers at their domain name can be reasonably expected to be communicating with that company.

It's just the security story on that if you never want the content disclosed isn't great, but conversely, conceptual entity communications are always going to be a bit public by nature.

There's a whole other rant I have about this problem, where we really lack domain specific trust standards - i.e. communicating with a business, what I want to know is "is this a recognized legal business entity in it's jurisdiction, and what's it's status to mine?" which is very different to "I need to make absolutely sure me and John Smith's communication is just between us" - but they're in the same space of problem.

Previous eras of democracy often had some limitations on suffrage, and no round-the-clock media cycle that reached into every household. Under those circumstances, political debate was less sensitive to the loudness of the mob, and more sensitive to longform argument published and read among intellectuals. If you look at nascent American or European democracy, it is remarkable how much its tensions were negotiated by texts that seem emotionally balanced and complex indeed in the modern era of television, radio, and internet.
> (2) Signal has no system by which you can communicate to "conceptual entities" - i.e. companies.

This has always kind of bugged me with email as compared to physical mail: While with a physical mailbox I can write a letter "to whom it may concern" and throw it in, with email I need to find out if the special, general purpose inbox is info@, contact@, hello@, or whatever other address the company uses, assuming they use the same domain for their email as they do for their website.

On the next level, there is no first-class support for stuff like 'send this message to person X, although it is adressed to organisation Y, where X works.' Basically, acknowledging the legal and organisational reality that while (single) humans might read, process and respond to communication, it is the legal entity that is actually being adressed.
