> Then that's the problem, that people don't remember the right-of-way. In these cases, I simply wait for them, trying to signal to them with my hand or my horn, as it is their right-of-way.

So now you're advocating for what @cromulent wrote: "I’ve always wanted another light on cars to signal approval ... go ahead" (i.e. a way to signal to the other driver), but a few comments above you disagreed with the need for a special light to do just that. Since you obviously think there's occasionally a need to signal to the other driver that you are yielding to them, why wouldn't you want a light to do so? Hands only work when they can see you (hands aren't always visible through glass due to reflections, and you don't want to roll down your window when it's raining hard) and horns only work when they can hear you (not hearing impaired or listening to music on headphones) and understand that a honk means "you can go!", not "watch out, here I come!"

> This causes accidents though, as suddenly you're driving unpredictable because you're trying to be nice.

Who said anything about being unpredictable? If I have to slow down to avoid a pedestrian, I'm going to do it, even if it means a slight chance of being rear-ended by the driver behind me who isn't driving a safe distance. That's also a perfect example of a time when I'd want to yield to the pedestrian so they can get out of the road without me having to swerve left or right to avoid them. What better way to tell them I'm yielding than with a special light designed to convey that?
Some mechanism for preventing accidental flags and hides. Perhaps a confirmation button or something.

We are all using mechanisms that developed throughout evolution to peform as well as we could in order to spread our genes. That is it. Free will doesn't matter, you are right. As a society we try to align incentives so that everyone would do as good as possible for the group, because throughout evolution the groups who did that were more likely to survive. And, yes it is all pre determined.

The reason to praise or condemn is because these are the pre determined things we are bound to do because it increases our odds of survival.
I'll go with Joseph Conrad on this one.

"It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose."

Now the persons that did it have some proof that they did something.

They will surely put some check in place because there should be another adage somewhere that says that you only learn to use the handrails after you fell in the stairs.
I'm no Trump supporter, but I find this decision very undemocratic. Seven judges have the power to prevent someone from being voted for by the people?
And they lost the ability to make news organizations they don't agree with wear distinguishing labels and symbols like YouTube does. Corporate-friendly, populist fascism is on the ascent internationally. Although it is often too stupid to efficiently harm or kill most of us, I don't have faith that it won't try to build a wall to address the causes of climate change.
All your examples have fundamentally new stuff at the core though? E-commerce lets you compete with hundreds of brick-and-mortar locations using a single warehouse. Crypto enabled global 24/7 markets. CDOs were derivatives with built-in hedges: the houses. Enron is an accounting fraud case, not a bubble—energy trading is still super profitable.

There's a big difference between breaking things because they're relying on impossible-to-secure plugins and breaking things because JavaScript developers want to invoke an API in a slightly different way.

So why many sophisticated and rich people are doing it ?

It's a very good business. In many developed countries, there are very strong incentives for owning several properties.
Once you've reached a certain level of wealth, it's basically free for your - since you're buying it with a mortgage. And quite often you can deduce the interest paid, from your taxes. We are effectively subsidizing this behavior, instead of taxing it.

Simplifying a bit - you want to put 100k$ to work, and you are wealthy enough so that the bank will lend you whatever you want. A great business is to buy another home, for say 500k$ - the rent and tax deductions will cover your mortgage, so you effectively turn 100k$ to 500k$ over the span of the loan. It's basically using your leverage, which first time buyers simply cannot most of the time. It's an unfair game.

In short - the system should be set up in a way that owning a second home should not be a good financial decisions - it should be an expensive decision. If you're rich enough and want to own a second holiday home - no problem. But in the current state of affairs, it's not expensive - it's actually profitable to do that.

TDD works best if you default to testing at the outer shell of the app - e.g. translating a user story into steps executed by playwright against your web app and only TDDing lower layers once youve used those higher level tests to evolve a useful abstraction underneath the outer shell.

It seems to be taught in a fucked up way though where you imagine you want a car object and a banana object and you want to insert the banana into a car or some other kind of abstract nonsense.

I find it fascinating that pilots and ATC from around the world can understand each other on such a poor resolution channel.
> well know the FAA has been totally deprived of ability to remedy these issues.

Other people are blaming the FAA for understaffing ATC and making it too hard to become a pilot, to the point of excluding otherwise-good would-be pilots.

I haven't before heard someone say that the FAA has been deprived of its ability to remedy these issues. Can you go into more detail on that?
Same here with 1.0
> So this controller, knowing the plane was near a fuel emergency, gave the pilots the option to either crash their plane with 240 people on board, or to divert to Oakland.

Oh please. Fuel emergency is not when the plane falls out of the sky. It is calculated as when the airplane has just enough fuel to go to the alternate airport plus multiple landing attempts there plus navigational reserve in case you get lost on the way there. The plane was not there, but just thinking about maybe being there soon. You know what you do when your primary airport is unable to land (for any reason) you are approaching the fuel emergency line? You head to your alternate, that is what it is for. And it is not some unheard of thing, this is literally how you have to calculate how much fuel you have to put in the airplane. When you take off you have to have enough fuel to get to your primary destination, waste your time there, then head to your alternate, get a bit lost on the way, have a go around on your secondary and then still have enough juice for a second landing.

> This is tough for me to wrap my head around.

Because you are thinking “oh my, oh my, the controler was risking so many lives”. When what the controller heard is that they still had plenty of fuel to go to their alternate, so he suggested that they do so.

You know what crashes airplanes and kills people? It is not airplanes flying to their alternate. It is plan continuation bias, or in laymen terms “get-there-itis”. It is when pilots want to reach their destination so much that they make poor decisions. Such as for example delaying leaving for their alternate until it is too late.
I have a similar problem as you, I just can't understand how determinism makes the lion's atoms move exactly in the direction of the gazelle's atoms.

At the same time, I also can't ignore the large number of very famous and accomplished physicists which take determinism very seriously.
Cool, fwiw I didn't know about the general use and I use deno heavily, here's a comparison of Three.js:

TSDocs.dev: https://tsdocs.dev/docs/three/0.159.0/modules.html

The search UX and documentation UI of TSDocs is better. The availability of Deno is better atm.

Though TSDocs was speedier and a better flow when it was working.

A really fixed pipeline.
Also pretty reasonable answer.
The thing is, though, during the pandemic a lot of seemingly rational people became very odd and - to use a front 242 song title - gripped by fear.

I've witnessed this with a member of my own extended family, a married business owner with a child, who became so fearful that we as an extended family had to assign them what was basically a rotating watch, because without someone to reassure them that things were okay they were becoming unhinged and would try and euthanise their pets because they were so convinced we were all going to die.

I do not know why some people became so susceptible to this while others just 'kept calm and carried on' but having witnessed it with my own eyes and heard reliable testimony from others I'm very reluctant to assign blame to an individual.

It's possible that this guy really did think that doomsday was coming and that it was his duty to make sure that everyone could read freely in their last days on the planet.

It was a very odd time and a lot of people are still not able to convincingly explain their actions during that time.

So for that reason, I find it hard to judge.
The thing is, we are talking about building homes and apartments - it's easy to say 'just build more', but harder to do.

We would need 'China style' decisions - which ended up with building so many apartments, that they end up with a significant percentage of them being empty, and the ripples of those decision will crush their economy for the years to come.
This isn’t something that I think should be diluted.

If it’s that simple for a stray record to be included in the dns round robin it could have been bad if it was an external ip with a machine setup by a phisherman especially since control of a domain is all you need to get an ssl cert now.

Couple this with the fact that it’s Microsoft, one of the most relied on companies in our computer world, this is pretty darn horrible.
The cloud was principally designed 2005-2013 era where it was pretty reasonable for an average website to need to go multi system to support traffic spikes.

CPU hardware kind of stagnated 2014-2018, while SSDs took off. But the last 5 years we've seen some pretty massive improvements everywhere.

How many sites need more than 500 threads, 6TB of ram, and 100Gbit egress? Which you can get in a single system now.

Some do, certainly, but then we're talking about the tiny narrow edge on the upper end of the curve. Almost every new web system built today can fit on a single box, and can become massively profitable on that single box unless you unicorn out and need the new architecture which you can now afford. And... that should be the new default.

But... with the cloud, we're stuck with complex massively parallel services or people starting up on tiny rented instances that are, as you say, pocket calculator equivalents.
It was inevitable, there is nothing else it could have been. How could it have been something else? What would have had to make it something else and if there was randomness why would it matter?

I worked at a similar type of office, but I had coworkers who also had interned/worked for Rakuten.

These are based on the accounts of my local coworkers, but their experiences with previous traditional Japanese companies involved strict social hierarchies, long working hours, constant overtime[0] and overall a very oppressive work culture (though this is slowly improving in general). Getting a chance to escape all that while still working for a local company that really understood them is a huge win.
As a foreigner, they made it really easy for me to integrate into their work without feeling like an outsider (which is unfortunately a common trope in more traditional offices).

There is a spectrum to this. For example, I’ve heard Rakuten has a lot of bad rep with a bunch of foreign engineers I’ve met. They still have a lot of “traditional” influence in their management culture that I’ve heard has created a high turnover rate on the foreigner side. This Reddit thread last year also was a hot topic that led to a small exodus[1] and some of their Glassdoor reviews are scathing.

On a side note, the government actually takes some interest in these companies too through inspections, as they seem to observe how well-integrated foreign talent can be with Japanese offices. I’m assuming they’re looking long term to increase immigration to compensate the decrease in local talent from the declining population…

Please do take these as stories and not fact. Experiences can wildly differ from company to company and I’m just one perspective.

[0] I recall a story where a company made employees “tap-out” but not actually leave the office to get around government regulations.

This may dampen my claims a little, but I roller skate (inline) and play tennis. And I wouldn't say I'm great at either, so maybe it's just because there's a lot of clear air above me that I'm able to make noticeable improvements.

However, I've needed a target in order to make those improvements. For roller skating it was skating backwards, and for tennis it was changing (correcting) my forehand grip.

With tennis it's been 12+ months of inconsistent hitting (including losing a grand final game 0-9 playing almost the worst tennis of my life) before I really started consistently being "better". There was a valley separating where I was from where I wanted to be, the depths of which had to be trudged through.

With inlines it was one of those situations where it feels like no progress is being made for a long time and then it all clicks quite suddenly. It took me about 18 months to go from tentatively rolling backwards after pushing off from the wall to can satisfactorily speed skate backwards.

Gotta have a target, gotta commit to crossing the valley.

Consider you have to do joins in the RLS for policy enforcement and you also have to do the same joins in your query for the business logic. One question is whether or not the query optimizer can recognize that the joins you do in the RLS are the same joins you are doing in your query, or if it will perform the subqueries multiple times.

The bigger downside, IMO, is the dev experience. They are hard to debug and to test their performance. Of course, everyone has a different bar for what they consider "hard", but if I start getting back result sets from the db that don't match my expectations, or if the performance isn't what I expect, I have to track down if the culprit is my query, the RLS or some combination of those. And while I am pretty confident with SQL, I am not so confident in PL/pgsql - which was the point of my original comment. You will have to get confident in that if you go down this route. You'll have to learn what amounts to a complete language but you won't have logging, a debugger, etc. just a rudimentary set of tools.

I'm not telling people not to do it - just warning them that the path passes through some thorny territory and you may get scratched up. It isn't all roses.
So to clarify, this still leverages the fixed function hardware video encoders present alongside many GPUs from eg. Intel/NVIDIA/AMD, and would not (for example) be possible to use on just a GPU itself (without said encoding hardware)?

The money is always put to use, one way or another. It is not hoarded, because it's stupid to hoard large quantities of money. You don't get wealthy by being stupid with money.

I agree about ROCm.

When it comes to comparison to SYCL, HIP is much closer to the spirit of SYCL than ROCm is. Both aim to help writing a single codebase that'll run across multiple hardwares. For now though, the trajectory of SYCL appears much more promising to me than HIP. HIP is already split in two parts for CPU and GPU, which is baffling, and neither part seems to receive much love from AMD.
The move you pick is also deterministic, which is coming from the state of your neurons and how they have got to that place from studying so far and then getting the current input of the board to go through several cases to reach the output.
You could get away with using just two cheaper 50kg load cells with some tinkering (i.e. a bracket and screw to send the just right fraction of the load to the cell, on just two legs).
You're right it is workload dependent. If you're low write but read heavy, you won't see huge differences in performance between RR and Serializable, so it can make sense to shift exclusively to that. The last benchmark here shows some of that with Postgres if you're looking for numbers (not an exhaustive test by any stretch): https://lchsk.com/benchmarking-concurrent-operations-in-post...

SQLite is single writer, so transaction isolation is easy, writes are linear by their very nature.

Cockroach does some really funky stuff, but its serialization guarantees are only within certain conditions. Traditionally it has also had low write throughput compared to other systems, mainly due to its distributed nature. Jepsen touches on that here https://jepsen.io/analyses/cockroachdb-beta-20160829 though things have vastly improved since then.

To your earlier point, it may not even matter depending on the workload, or if you're aware of your database limitations. In cases where it does matter then being aware of the limitations of something like Repeatable Read makes the trade-off worth it.
Well, perhaps people seeking leadership positions should distance themselves from situations where they may violate laws which cause the effect of losing the ability to be a candidate. Or, as the kids say these days, fuck around and find out.
