Smaller and more stratified countries. The UK is kind of there, and the US is getting there, albeit slower.
What are some sources for that fact?
> Postgres is enough as long as you have a good multi-tenant setup e.g. a separate database per customer.

Separate per customer has a lot of advantages (especially around customer security and things like deletion) but you can also shard by customer right from the beginning; customer #1 in the "odd" shard, customer #2 in the "even" shard etc. Switching to database per customer if that is working well is relatively easy so you're future proofed both ways.

> A white Londoner is not capable of passing for a Kazakh.

Ever heard of Borat? /s

I think they implied ethnic Russian from Kazakhstan, like Arkady Volozh (the founder of Yandex) or Vladimir Zhirinovsky (the proto-Putin of the 90s).

They should be called Kazakhstani (the nationality), not Kazakh (as in the ethnic group), but this is the New Yorker, so pathos tends to matter more than logos.

I wonder if we can work out their burn rate from the time between this and the next funding round. They need to get federation up ASAP to maintain credibility.

Battle testing PHP fopen, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB on several file system
So, having worked on a managed postgres service, we had an extension pushing metrics from the database, but we also used redis to keep service metrics

Redis is great. This gist is more about how it's up to you how much you centralize on postgres. But overall being able to offload from the database has value, so "PostgreSQL is Enough" should not read as "You shouldn't need more than PostgreSQL"

Metrics in an unlogged table could be great if you want to query those metrics against existing data. It depends
So if I understand your example. I buy a $50M asset on the supposed hope that it goes up in value at which point I then donate it to the museum at an inflated value. 50% gain seems like a fair bit in a short period but I'll use it for your sake. So 75M$ tax write off. Now assuming that I am in an expensive tax jurisdiction and I can write this against short term cap gains - 40% - thats $30M in a tax benefit.

TL;DR. Put $50M capital to work to get a $30M tax write off in the future ASSUMING significant gains. During that time you get to own an expensive piece of art. So you get the artwork for a net COST of $20M ($50M purchase - $30M tax benefit).

It doesnt make sense purely on economics of the example - unless significantly more capital appreciation in the asset, other reasoning for pursuing it or other tax benefits in the country.

I have been using Pelican with a modified new.css theme. Recently migrated from hosting on a DO instance with Nginx to Github Pages.

What I'd love to do is totally remove the SSG from this pipeline and replace it with a WYSIWYG editor (blasphemy, I know). Or at least something that I could just drag and drop images to so I don't have to manually link them in the .md files.

I'd also like to totally remove the CSS from my site and just link to an existing theme served by a CDN somewhere, like if there was a "standard" simple theme with same defaults and platform-specific font choices etc. (ie. how it was supposed to be near the beginning where users would get served markup (via HTML) and then be able to theme it as they desire (obviously still possible but very few people do this).

Micro.blog looks interesting but the themes aren't quite as minimal as what I prefer.
Alright. You want to be blunt, I'll be blunt with you too.

You are an idiot. No matter how smart you might actually be. Coddling creates weak people who cannot resolve matters on their own, and this matter was completely within her power to resolve. Were it that she did not get the email, or that she was given the wrong file path, I would be more than happy to assist her.

Furthermore, she never once mentioned the actual file path, or thought to forward the email to me for review so I could actually help her.

She took zero initiative other than to complain to me, then provided me a marginal amount of incomplete information.

This is not the behavior of a so-called "professional".

I'll be further blunt: The world would be better off without people like you creating more adult children that are totally incapable of resolving even the most germane issues without totally giving up and blowing up at the people around them. Furthermore, given that I am several steps above her in the chain of command, she should have gone to her direct report and not me in the first place.

My job involves solving very real problems with very real stakes, not pointing out to a 22 year old adult that they need to thoroughly read their emails and not skim over them.
Hard to claim people like this aren’t in it for the money/as just a job when they then sue for damages in court when attacked for their research. It might not have been a nice way to say it, but scientific discourse is about pushing hard to guarantee accuracy and if anyone believes the data was cherry picked or inaccurate they should have every right to say so. What precedent would it set if you could sue scientific skeptics for damages, what does this accomplish except for disincentivizing healthy scientific discourse?
As per my previous comment, this is to benefit the US. This buys them control over most of the Western governments. Sure, they are 'allies' but the relationship is not one of equals and they have to walk the line.
Pain might not have been the right word indeed. The aspect we wanted to point to was rather the fact that we had to do it over and over again. And so from that perspective it became a “pain”.

Do you mind linking me to some large C projects that don’t use make/autotools/etc?
Technically speaking yes. It's complicated.
The problem is rarely cost, it's operational overhead.

Using SQS for a queue rather than my already-existing Postgres means that I have to:

- Write a whole bunch of IaC, figuring out the correct access policies
- Set up monitoring: figure out how to monitor, write some more IaC
- Worry about access control: I just increased the attack surface of my application
- Wire it up in my application so that I can connect to SQS
- Understand how SQS works, how to use its API

It's often worth it, but adding an additional moving piece into your infra is always a lot of added cognitive load.

I think "dead simple" is not doing anyone any favors when it is being used to try to equate the simplicity of things.

It's obviously a lot simpler to just have a file, than to have a server that needs to be connected to, as long as we're still talking about running things on regular computers.
PG works really well as a message queue and there's several excellent implementations on top of it.

Most systems are still going to need Redis involved just as a coordinator for other pub/sub related work unless you're using a stack that can handle it some other way (looking at BEAM here).

But there are always going to be scenarios as an application grows where you'll find a need to scale specific pieces. Otherwise though, PostgreSQL by itself can get you very, very far.
Do We Still Need the Pips?
Maybe eventually. First an accurate transcription and translation of the annotations would have to be made. Then there'd have to be a lot of editorial work integrating the changed. You'd have to decide what you want--a 'reading' edition that presented a unified text? Online, with a good photographic reproduction, you could do something like what was done for Emily Dickinson (https://www.edickinson.org/)--page images with text transcriptions where annotations can be toggled on and off. You'd just need to find someone willing to pay for it.
This might be a better example. I also suspect the art world during the pandemic had crazy levels of inflation going on as crypto started looking for assets in the real world and needed to put that money somewhere as well as all other assets in the world going through very strange valuations.
I’m really glad we realized that before disaster struck. We have a project in-progress to do exactly this. It’d even better if SWE wrote ADRs (or whatever) that document all this stuff up front, but … well, there are only so many battles anyone can fight, right?
I have looking for a way to do "push to record audio" (instead of Mac's dictate) for ages, thanks for the push to look at Shortcuts!

Are you using the "Record Audio" action or something else? Ideally the shortcut would stop listening after a pause like the native Dictate feature does it. At a minimum Record Audio seems to require hitting spacebar to stop - not great but not terrible.

It's not tested at all. No local hidden variables is just a priori true though. It's not part of any interpretation. All of them are subject to it. This is irrelevant though because there are alternatives to local hidden variables like pilot wave theory, the so-called many words interpretation, relationalism (i.e. inherent nondeterminism) and there's no way to test between any of them.

Because it's incorrect. If you have any non-postgres side-effect, you can't have exactly-once (unless you do 2PC or something like that). There isn't any technology that gives you "exactly once" in the general case.
I doubt it. Most universities have some professor in this area and a few graduate students. There is very little else for them to read (the entire of all classic books we have fits on a shelf), and most of them can read the original language. They will read this as soon as it is available just because it they don't have much else to read that is a primary source material. Thus everything new is of great interest because there is so little to work with.
They didn't. We had something like:

"locationId": "53c24146ef0b601b77974fcd"

They took the first four bytes (53c24146) which is a timestamp that represents 1405239622 seconds since Unix epoch. Our website clearly stated we work off annual contracts (a norm for our industry) - it wasn't secret information. So from this timestamp they could ballpark when a customer's contract was up.
If US pharma executive pay and marketing budgets were similar to their European counterparts and only R&D budgets were out-sized, then this might ring true, but to my ears it just sounds like yet more apologia for plutocracy; a tune that I've become more and more accustomed to the longer I've lived in the US.

But PostgreSQL is not dead simple when compared to SQLite.
No it's not, because it's very hard to set up in clustered HA environments. This is 2024. It should be possible to just add database nodes.
> I'm surprised society hasn't fallen apart

The UK is going to fall apart because the level of corruption has reached the scale that nobody who's competent and prepared to do a good job (i.e. moral people who see doing a good and thorough job as a core value) wants to put up with it any more. It's too visible.

I studied Computer Science in the UK and the very first job I got (in central London providing service to names you'd certainly recognise) was with this absolute cowboy outfit managed service provider that was providing about 1/4 of the services it claimed to provide. Backups? Yes, you're getting billed for them, no, they aren't happening. Hot spares? See above. Redundancy? See above. On call? See above. The lying was endemic and it was gross. I developed a chronic drinking problem while working there and I really do think working/being in an atmosphere of bullshit affects you in some sort of karmic way.

The UK is going to fail if they don't drastically change trajectory because everyone who isn't gross is going to leave, and the tap of infinite numbers of exploitable Poles has been turned off.

Just over 50 years ago, I delivered chicken and pizza for place in the Denver suburbs. I made minimum wage, and I used the restaurant's vehicle.

It is possible that this was feasible for the owners only because it hadn't occurred to pizza shops en masse that it was possible to get the drivers to provide their own cars. But this was before I ever saw thermal sleeves for pizza boxes. The food was kept warm by a sheet metal contraption in the back seat, with sterno as the heat source, something it would have been awkward to be putting into and pulling out of civilian cars.
That is only true in some environments, since it's not in fact part of the language specification.

That sounds normal.
I addressed that in my post. In this case I'm using progress to mean accomplishing the same thing with less resources. It's not a good thing on its own, it's a good thing because resources are limited and expending those resources tends to produce pollution.

It's not about whether there are individuals who feel that way. It's about whether that opinion/attitude has become baked into institutions that play key gatekeeping roles in those societies. One big difference in those countries is that music tends to be(not exclusively anymore, but historically) learned via apprenticeship, a social structure that reduces the scale and scope of "music school" type institutions.
Sounds plausible, but likely to be somewhat far down our list of existential problems if a nearby star goes supernova.

The police in the UK don’t always allocate their resources wisely (and have innumerable other faults). However, this seems to me to be a case where the police correctly stopped allocating resources to an investigation that wasn’t going to get any closer to building a criminal case against anyone.

I think it’s fair to call your second bullet point a ‘hot take’. Police funding was hit hard by austerity and the effects of that are still with us. It’s not credible or evidence-based to attribute the overall shortage of resources to overpolicing of tweets (however annoying and stupid that may be considered in itself).

I have a confused question here. I asked chatGPT what the approx terawatt output of the sun is. It claims it is 384.6 terawatts.
I find that hard to reconcile with the earth having 12TW production. Given that your number is probably OK, that would suggest the sun output calc is way off.
I wonder if any non-AI contributors have better ballpark estimates for the sun's energy output..
Hmm, I found a non-chatGPT source, which claims the same..
