This is super helpful as a primer (especially the bits about knowing which kinds of infra go where and doing capacity planning BEFORE architecting anything) but is not a replacement for actually having done it somewhere, since there are so many tools and tricks that are difficult to convey in a single guide.

I say this because this guide is often used by engineers trying to job hop their way into staff+ roles without having the requisite experience to back that up.

Put another way, this guide will help you answer "design Netflix," (I.e. narrow the scope, capacity plan, diagram the ideal path, replace with infrastructure, discuss tradeoffs) but will NOT help you answer "tell me about a time where you designed a large-scale system and how you would've made it better given the chance"

We can’t trust Gannett, but it’s dangerous to dismiss all perceived “mass media” because of the decisions of one company.

If you’ve been paying attention to who owns the media you consume, you’ve likely already written off Gannett-tarnished outlets years ago.

I should probably clarify -- I don't really care about distance that much. I care about the experience, the joy of being outside, and the benefits of getting cardio exercise. In general, I find that decent distance at a reasonable pace is a great way to spend a few hours. I just don't care about how long it takes or doing it faster.
The frontend impacts your SEO way more than your backend, especially if you're using a typical framework. Additionally, things like your database (more specifically, your schema and your queries) will impact the speed of your backend more than any particular library.
As darling of data science Andrew Ng said, "90% of machine learning is feature engineering". So you should probably run the STFT spectrograms through machine learning models rather than the raw audio signal. And anyway raw audio is over 41k samples per second so quite low information density compared to some simple and quite common transformations like STFT anyway.
I don't think there is a legit source to support that claim. But, there is some precedent, the Israeli hawks need Hamas as much as Hamas needs them and in the past they have actually propped up Hamas because they couldn't stomach the likes of Abbas who might be able to successfully establish a Palestinian state. This whole conflict is kept alive by stupidity like that (and the continued settlement program, which is effectively an unofficial way to keep expanding Israel without directly being as accountable).

It’s not a fantasy. Read “A case for Mars” if you are sincerely interested in the topic. Terraforming could dramatically thicken the atmosphere - a process that would take several hundred years. Yes, Mars would slowly lose it, but over 100s of millions of years. So you can keep the planet blue and green. Venus is harder but doable too. Can’t do that with the moon ever. So eventually, if we don’t WW3 ourselves, there will be 3 blue marbles in this solar system and an endless number of space and moon based habitats.

> The colonoscopy has NEVER been painful for me.

You've always been medicated.

"My doctor" is what I call my GP; he's not involved in this process. I was referred for colonoscopy based on a fecal blood test that was centrally-administered. Several consultants (including the dental consultant that did my root canals) have denied me sedation on those grounds. In general, I'm inclined to agree that anaesthesia and sedation are dangerous for drinkers, and should be avoided if they aren't essential. And they aren't essential for a colonoscopy.

> Performance has absolutely nothing to do with sand boxing.

Even simple optimizations like shared caches fall afoul of proper isolation. In the past browser caches could be abused to find out if a user frequented specific sites just by checking how long it would take to request a site specific resource. Result: no more shared caching, all resources had to be loaded for each site separately.
FYI: Unguided rockets still need to be targeted, you do this by aiming them and adjusting your aim after you make a shot can be done more reliably if you know where your rocket landed. That still requires your rockets to be of reasonably consistent build quality (which I have no data on) but it's been the same ever since artillery was first invented.

Any successfully business will be sued in frivolous lawsuits, which have a finite chance of winning.

First example: a friend of mine ran restaurants for many years. A black woman claimed she drove past his restaurant and that a man standing across the street from the restaurant gave her a dirty look. She knew that was the restaurant owner, not based on any facts or logic, but based on the Black Way of Knowing. She sued for civil rights violations. He description of the man was nothing like my friend, other than them both being male humans. She misidentified 2 other men in the courthouse as the man who gave her a dirty look and concretely ruled out my friend before the bailiff explained who was who to her. Then she changed her story. She won and took my friend's family business, leaving his family with nothing.

Second example: There is a mexican cafe in my area that we always ate at after church on Sundays. They invented the corn chip that they sold to a chip company that became a well known corn chip today. The chip company did not remember this because corporations change personnel. The chip company sued the family-business that was the mexican cafe. The family running the mexican cafe produced the original contract that said if the chip company ever sued them over something frivolous, they would own the chip company. This document was examined by experts and found to be authentic. Even several Ivy League schools found it to be authentic. The corrupt 5th Circuit Court (5th Circus Cult?) refused to look at the evidence, took bribes from the chip company, destroyed the contract, and somehow many members of the family that owned the mexican cafe died mysteriously.

Third example: I loved my auto mechanic. Cody ran a place called All Pro Transmissions, and was an honest mechanic who never charged more than his estimate and always fixed something extra just to be nice. Then the crooks from another mechanics shop (who charged me for an engine they did not replace) sued him, claiming he was cheating his customers. They won and split the proceeds with the crooked JP (place 1.) Cody has to work for them (court ordered) as their face man. When anyone takes their car there, they get ripped off and as they pick it up the techs brag about how much they got screwed.

I tried to file a patent when I was in college. The patent examiner asked an expert from a major tech company to help him examine the patent. The major tech company stole my patent and sold it to another company.

There is much more. I give up. Screw The System.
So here's my story...

Age 39. Presented to family GP with rectal bleeding. He did no exam, pretty much dismissed it as a hemorrhoid. Age 40. Complained again to GP that bleeding was continuing (sporadically). GP finally decides to refer me to the local thoracic surgeon. This surgeon gives me a go over with an anoscope and schedules a colonoscopy the next day. Turns out I had a 5cm tumor...

I was married with two very small kids. Not the best time to get cancer.

A week later I'm starting radiation therapy to try and shrink the tumor. A week or so after that (things tend to blur when medicine moves fast), I'm started on chemotherapy treatments. I start to lose weight (I was 6'2"/240lb at the start of this). I get a portacath above my heart so chemo drugs can go straight into a big vein. I carry a pump around to push my chemo drugs in on a reliable schedule. This combined treatment goes on for a month before I go through surgery. I'm experiencing neuropathy from the oxaliplatin, which makes your extremities very sensitive to the cold (and of course I live where you have real winters). Foods taste wrong too.

Go in for surgery and come out with an ostomy. The surgeon had tried to save enough stuff so I didn't need a bag, but well, sometimes biology has other ideas. The tumor was too large and too close to all the rectal muscles. At least the surgeon said there were good margins, and no signs of metastasizing. So now I have a bag. At this point I way about 160lbs. Nothing tastes good except candy, and the docs are worried about my weight loss. So I get the green light to eat as much candy as I want.

Now I'm alive, with a bag, but alive. I'm taking some experimental oral post-surgical chemo pill 4x daily to try and kill any little bastard tumor cells that might have been released. These suck. Chemo is always a race to kill cancer cells before the chemo drugs kill you. My oncologist is always checking white cell counts, but now has some DNA test that looks for tumor markers. This is pretty cool. My cell counts improve and the tumor market analysis looks good. So I'm eventually sent home. On my way out of my last meeting with my oncologist and his nurse, I ask him how often he gets to send someone home in my situation. The look in his eyes made it apparent how tough a job these folks have.

So now 18 years later, I've been able to run a full marathon, finish my basement by myself, build the coolest shed in my back yard. Settle into a good IT career at a company where I can retire. And most importantly, be there when my kids graduated from school. Be there for my wife when her dad passed away from cancer. Just be there...

So if a colonoscopy scares you, as they say in The Wire; ain't no thing. Don't be like Farrah Fawcett who died of anal cancer because she avoided treatment. 150K new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed annually in the US. And if discovered early, it can be treated far less invasively and less life-altering than if found later.
Society structures itself in such a way to achieve equilibrium in all things, eventually. There is an abundance of "free time" so things, hobbies, culture, politics, sex, everything has slowly waddled into a zone that seeks to fully-utilize all that free time in whichever way it can.
Ok agree. It makes no sense and is annoying for anyone to be given $2.50 as a tip.

I did the same with silver dollars for a long time,. Gave them as tips eating out but it sucks if your not autistic because everyone is confused/overly excited.

It's worth about $15 but people would think they won the lottery when I gave them a coin. That's why I stopped.
My apologies, my perception of LLMs is somewhat skewed, because I primarily think of conversation agents.

It's unnatural in a conversation. When we're talking about, say, Superman, we don't ever say that it's "a registered trademark of DC Comics, Inc." With obligatory exceptions for comical or satirical effects, or if we're specifically talking about trademarks or copyrights, etc. And of course when we're talking about robots we don't normally give any nods to Karel Čapek.

I believe that, same as humans, LLMs already try to provide references when requested, or if the style/format (such as lecture) prompts for having them. Just remember that famous anecdote where a lawyer used ChatGPT and it wrote a speech and provided believable references (then judge threw this out of court because quality/reliability is another problem - which is out of scope, though).

> Every year I secretly hope some major consortium with traction release "IPv4 2.0" with 8 bytes and get done with it.

How exactly would this work?

IPv4 data structures have four bytes/octets (4B) for addresses. So how do you fit 8B of addresses in 4B structures? You don't. So you have to update every network element—host (desktop, laptop, mobile, embedded), router, switch, firewall—to have a new data structure (and maybe new function/system calls, as the old ones assume the old structures). So all devices have to have updated network stacks, including long-lived ones that sometimes are not touched for a decade+.

And not just pure networking code: anything that touches (e.g.) DNS as well, as A records are 4B-only as well, so you need a new record type and deploy new DNS server and resolver code everywhere.

But of course if you have a 4B-only network elements/devices, they cannot talk to 8B-only devices/services, so you have to create translation mechanisms because some devices may not yet have the update 8B-capable network stack. And sometimes an 8B network is an island in a sea of 4B, so you have to have tunneling. Of course some may have both 4B and 8B, and want to talk to something has also has 4B and 8B, so now you have to have code for source/destination selection.

Those are the exact same challenges as with the IPv6 roll-out.

And of course "IPv4 1.0" continues to work, so what motivation is there for going to your "2.0"—just like what motivation is/was there for going to IPv6 when IPv4 is/was 'working'?

Whatever you think about Sundar, he is really good at testifying. His congressional testimony was the best of the tech CEOs.
China's social credit system is explicitly about being able to use surveillance technologies for social control. I suspect these approaches will only grow and mature in authoritarian states. In nominally free states like the US, this tech will also seep into society via private but essential industries like credit scores, access to rentals, etc., and then eventually by the government itself for things like passports, access to government aid, etc. This tech is just too tempting not to be used by the already powerful to become more powerful.

That's the 'how', not the 'why'. I think biological incentive here means, the reason human evolution retained certain traits. An interesting theory for that is that gays and lesbians can cooperate with their siblings to raise nieces and nephews, instead of competing with them for resources.

I mean, it depends on who your asking. Express has effectively been abandoned.

In 2023 many would recommend Fastify as a go-to.
I'd say adonis is the best now as you can iterate to a full product very quickly.

It's full stack but still amazingly fast (comparable to fastify). You can choose what you need in order to improve speed too. The syntax mimics Laravel which is the easiest to use, most complete full stack framework of any language.

Obviously, somewhat opinionated claims and my main job isn't programming so take it for what it's worth.
I think that could totally be possible for your hosted offering, but my point is largely that I don’t see how the self-hosted offering could ever get there, unless there was some technical measure that could prevent the operator of the system from tampering with the logs/database/etc

Flakes will hopefully be that soon but I wouldn't recommend starting with flakes when learning Nix in 2023. They're experimental and you still need to learn most of flake-less Nix (except channels and NIX_PATH) anyways.

When I started learning/using NixOS about two years ago I found it useful to start out with just Nixpkgs (i.e. what you get out of the box) and only add libraries when I felt they would help me. My first configs where ugly as hell and full of bad practice but the cool thing about Nix is that it gives you a lot of safety nets to enable experimentation and refactoring.

Also, to add to your comment about CAP. knowing CAP (consistency, availability, partition tolerance, choose two) can be useful when choosing which database to use for a production system, I.e. can you get away with a fancy distributed gossip database or do you need the robustness of a rdbms.

99.9% of the time a RDBMS is fine, but if you're vying for a senior staff role, you need to sound like you can talk about the 0.01% of the time where Riak or something like that makes sense as a primary data store. That's why this guide mentions it.

If i recall, it is important to note that the main analysis in the NORDICC trial was on patients invited to receive screening. As an intent to treat study, not all received screening. There was a subgroup analysis on those that actually received screening, which showed a decent improvement in hazard ratio. The question I had (and will look for when I’m off mobile) is was there a demographic bias in those invited who chose to screen? (Eg higher risk driving their decision).
Either way I can control decisions that are not tractable from a public health study point of view. The down side is limited to me— the prep was gross, but my procedure was a breeze. And if something had been found, they can act at that moment. Screening was a no brainer for me.

> The reality here is there's a bunch of men who have "here's my list of positive traits" and are leaving something out, because everyone is the angel of their own story.

Sure. Average men have flaws. But so do women. When I was dating around I met a bunch of girls who had a wild drugs & partying phase in college. A couple still had cocaine habits. I smoked some weed in high school then stopped. I’ve had sex with 7 women in my entire life, 5 of which were one or two night stands because we didn’t get on. I’m told I’m judgemental & picky because I’m not attracted to women with twice or more my sexual experience.

It’s true that a person’s sexual history does not define their worth as a person, just as height or weight doesn’t. But, what is ignored these days, every person absolutely has a right to their own preferences of attraction. But we insist that young men are terrible people if they don’t accept a history of promiscuity with anything less than enthusiasm.
