> That is isolation. It's the first time hearing someone call that "transaction safety".

I wouldn't call isolation transaction safety. ACID is transaction safety. Isolation is a subset of transaction safety. 'Safe' isn't even my word. I was replying to a comment. Can you honestly say that you'd substitute:

Most users want to use a message queue in a transaction safe way, so they ended up implementing it in database.

with:

Most users want to use a message queue in an [atomic] way [but not necessarily consistent, isolated, or durable - which are orthogonal concerns], so they ended up implementing it in database.

From this point forward I honestly can't follow the line of argument:

> If anything, transaction safety would be something that the database authors have to consider, not the user of a database [a]

> There is no automatic guarantee against e.g. two message queue workers picking up the same message. There is no guarantees like that in general for transactions [b] and there is fine-granular control with things like "read for update" or "skip locked" for that [c]. I don't think any database ever claimed otherwise [d].

So: the user doesn't need to think about their transactions' safety [a], but if they choose to think about it, they can opt-into safety features [c], but those features won't work as advertised [b]. Actually they weren't advertised [d].

> Or, you allowed a user the withdraw cash at two ATMs at the same time, and now their balance is negative even if it must not ever be negative.

Firstly, that's call an overdraft and it's business-as-usual for ATMs. ATMs (and banks in a broader sense) track money using eventual consistency (ledgers & reconciliation), not transactions (in the 'SQL DBMS Transaction' sense). [2]

Secondly, why did you pick the two-ATMs-at-the-same-time hypothetical if you're downplaying isolation as a transaction safety concern? That is the purpose of isolation. If your system succeeds at one-thing-at-a-time, but fails with two, isolation is the property which has been violated.

> You just broke the law and might use your banking license and go bankcrupt.

Allowing overdrafts does not break the law. You know what breaks the law in banking? UPDATE statements. Mutations which destructively overwrite banking data. Moving customers' money around by mutating balances in-place. Which is why they don't work that way [2, 3].

> So yeah, in those cases an append-only MQ simply doesn't help you. You need some system that supports ACID.

And here we've come full circle! I can start quoting from the top again:

>> Databases are not as transaction-safe (in their default setup) as one is led to believe. They are ACID for some non-isolated definition of I.

I have seen high performing software organizations that use SAFe, although I am not at liberty to name names. The keys are to have senior leaders that are really committed to it (not just lip service) and ignore the parts that aren't helpful for your particular circumstances. Pretty much everything in SAFe is optional so you can pick and choose the parts that you want (although if you decide to ignore or customize some parts then you should at least have a clear reason for doing so beyond a belief that your organization is somehow "special").

FAANGs operate at mega scale and have the luxury of enough time and resources to create customized methodologies which ideally suit their unique circumstances. But most software organizations can't afford to hire experts to build up custom methodologies (or they wouldn't know whom to hire even if they could afford it). The benefit of something like SAFe is that it's "good enough" for less sophisticated organizations to adopt off the shelf and move forward. And if you look inside the FAANGs you'll see that they essentially do follow many parts of SAFe although they tend to call things by different names and hide some of the gory details from lower-level ICs.

I haven't done any federal government work but I've seen large government contractors successfully apply SAFe. They aren't making sprint plans more than 3 months in the future.

Again, SAFe isn't anything particularly wonderful. It's just a reasonable starting point that represents accumulated industry best practices for large enterprises with a lot of complex moving parts. Much of the criticism is simply uninformed. Anyone who wants to criticize it should at least cite the relevant section (everything is publicly documented) and explain why that part is unnecessary or suboptimal from an overall business perspective.

Folks interested can read what CCHO said about SB35 here: https://www.sfccho.org/in-the-news/2018/10/13/opinion-alarmi...

The crux of their concern/prediction is:

> As currently written, the practical outcome of SB 35 will be to further expedite and accelerate market-rate approvals in the small handful of California communities where the real estate market is already hot – communities that are overwhelmingly urban, low-income, and predominantly people of color. These are the same communities that are currently grappling with displacement and gentrification, and typically have terrible imbalances of market-rate housing development compared to affordable housing. Simply accelerating approvals in those communities is just a recipe to spur even more aggressive gentrification.

I personally think folks like the CCHO are taking a misguided policy approach to solving/ameliorating the problems they worry about, and sometimes behave disingenuously (and should be called out, with specific details, when they do so). But that doesn't make their concerns illegitimate.

Here's an example of an earlier direct reply by Wiener to CCHO about the bill: http://www.beyondchron.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Senato...

> This housing crisis will never be solved without a solution that includes a significantly increased supply of all types of housing, at all income levels, in every community throughout California, both subsidized and non-subsidized. The devastating eviction crisis and rapid displacement of low- and middle-income people from cities results, in large part, from failing to build enough housing for the past half century. SB 35 empowers the state to take action and ensure that every single community is approving its fair share of housing – especially those communities currently punting their housing needs to neighboring jurisdictions.
Not clear I guess, but I meant small claims for anyone facing the same issue. Over and over we get bullied by these big companies looking to solve their problems at the expense of the little guy. And have no recourse.
It's not that. It's basically the old question: can algorithms format cartels?

I am strongly on the side of: yes, they can.

In a time where most offerings are public you just need to make sure you stay slightly above the p50 and prices will go up.

Similarly on the buying side of e.g. Ads most algorithms and platforms have a "bidding war avoidance". Stop bidding more even of it would make you money, in order to keep the proce low.

In all those cases you try to sync and rise /lower the price (as seller/buyer).

It's not about just estimating a price. It is doing that on a large scale with an algorithmic outcome of upwards price fixation.

Unlike some other replies, I kind of agree with a sentiment (maybe because I did a fair amount of physical labor), but one very important thing to realize is that salaries are not about "what's worth what" and fairness but about supply and demand. Developers get paid more because their productivity allows that and not a lot of people can do what they do. While almost anyone can be a landscaper. And supply and demand in inflexible markets leads either to runaway high or deep bottom price.

You can do the hand stuff if you adhere a leap motion to the front of the HMD - I was doing that during the DK2 era. Leap Motion had additional gestures beyond gaze (gaze interaction isn't a first here, but admittedly gaze-and-pinch is), for example, you could attach a controller to the back of your hand - almost like a watch. You could then interact with that controller, tactile feedback and all. There's also the natural gesture of holding something, but that was rather pedestrian compared to the other UX ideas that Leap were exploring.

I think what's "wowing" people is the sensation of having your hands appear in VR. From personal experience it does take presence (as the formal VR term) to a whole new level.

In addition, adding 2D windows to 3D space isn't really "spatial computing." The pinnacle of VR/AR has always been a 3D interface, in my opinion. I have no idea how that would look/work (I do believe Leap were on their way to a solution), but it's certainly not slapping existing concepts into 3D space in the laziest - most demoable - way possible. Tilt Brush would be further along the spectrum in VR UX, but they only solved for drawing.

This isn't a leap forward. It's yet another idea that fails to hit the mark. While Apple isn't alone in that regard, nobody else is asking $3000 for 2D windows in 3D space.
The frequency is probably the key factor. Also being able to have their many meetings without adding to the general noise of the office.

I advocate for most employees having offices, but we can still acknowledge that the reasons you probably want your managers to have them are very different than the reasons for engineers.
Perhaps we should have a system where there is a basic level of housing available for anyone to afford. And anyone who wants something with any luxuries can rent something from a business / landlord?

That way private landlords can run their business how they want, and if a customer sees value in what they offer they can pay for it.

All the drugs you can consume?

That's not going to be compatible with a livable pop-up city.

Perhaps if the list of available drugs were carefully selected, it could work, but not if you include alcohol, meth, and opiate/opioid derivatives, and worse. Reducing the list of available drugs would reduce the desirability of such a city for those who'd be better off in it, leading to continued hard-drug-fueled crime in society at large.
Silicon Valley is just an inefficient value transfer mechanism from society (by digitizing everything) to SF land owners.
>And yet, I know of no malls that ever gained residence areas within walking distance

How is that even possible?

Here in the Greater Toronto Area, practically every large mall has at least a few high rises. Some malls are even constructing residential units directly on top of the mall. Even a larger strip mall will generally have some medium sized apartment buildings nearby.

Downtown Mississauga has dozens of high rises up now right next to its biggest mall. Those buildings have completely changed the city's skyline.

A lifetime ago, circa 1994, a friend asked if I wanted to get into this up and coming World Wide Web thing. I said sure. There were 3 founders, and each hired a friend, so three employees. I think actually one of the employees was only ever a consultant.

We were funded by an existing company - an insurance agency. I think the thing lasted maybe 8 weeks? Primary founder of the startup had issues with the owner of the insurance agency over intellectual property. I was told by my friend all of this was coming in advance. I was given the chance to stay working for the main agency after all the founders quit. I quit with them.

But it was a ridiculously early foot in the door for doing web stuff, which I've done ever since. Before that I was doing medical devices. Definitely don't regret it.

I'm not railing at anyone. I'm saying that if people want more of a say in what kind of art is made, they need to be willing to spend more money on art, and spend it more thoughtfully. If they're only willing to spend very small amounts of money, and only on art that has been thoroughly vetted by the wealthy taste-makers, then they're only going to get what they wealthy taste-makers think is good.
I see, gotcha

This person has recently said that "solar panels are an ecological disaster", that "breathing is detrimental to health" because "oxygen is toxic and literal poison" and that "world war 3 started in 2010" so this is actually pretty tame in relative terms.
My pov fluctuates a bit on the WFH/RTO topic. I used to enjoy WFH 100% but after a few years, I do miss a bit of some offices I worked at. But it's probably traumatic memory at play because 9 times out of 10 I left these jobs with an existential relief and screaming "free at last".

Commute plus office rhythm is rarely as efficient a WFH. In Office does enforce some rhythm, makes you change your mind a bit more, but you're now forced to endure the bad sides of toxic people. Warning, online streaming platform means that the same toxic people can now torture you via WebRTC.. stay strong :)
I find it kind of ridiculous and depressing, that we are playing these kind of games in academics and risk careers of bright mind and scientific progress. What a waste of potential and time.

Completely agree. In-region (e.g. at the scale of a US state), CP seems like a clear winner.

If you're using TLDs that aren't reserved for local use, there's nothing "perfectly good" about your network. The official guidance has always been to use a subdomains of real domain, probably in split-horizon networking if you don't want to leak internal addresses.

There are a few internal TLDs you can use. You always had home.arpa available, and .example, .test, and .invalid were also reserved. Anything else is and always has been fair game.

.local has had Apple-specific incompatibilities since at least 1999. Apple should've standardised .local before they released software that relies on special handling of it, but it's been almost 25 years since this problem was introduced and 11 years since this was standardised, it's time to move on.
