Well put.
If you've lived in NYC for any amount of time, you see both sides of this.

1) Disparate industries seemingly conspiring to extract every marginal dollar out of wealthy people (good for them). That is, there seems to be no amount of money you can have that isn't easily disposed of in NYC, leaving you wishing you had 10x more.

2) Wealthy people by inheritance who seem to be genuinely room temperature IQ out competing high income earners for the best apartments, with all cash offers
The time part is absolutely a disclosure of information. That can be fine, or it may not be. In the latter case that's called a leak. You need to consider that every time you decide to use a time-based identifier like UUIDv7.

UUIDv4 contains no information, so you cannot accidentally leak information through them.

UUIDs have nothing to do with cryptography. "Cryptographically safe" has no meaning when it comes to identifiers. Encrypting information-carrying identifiers like UUIDv7 is not a good way to hide the information, because you cannot rotate the key if/when it leaks. The moment your key leaks, all information in the identifier is public again.

There's only three ways to mitigate the risk of information-carrying identifiers:

* Don't have them. Use fully random identifiers instead.
* Don't share them. Use a different identifier in public (including in URLs).
* Carefully consider the information carried in the identifier to decide if the information can be made public.
Maybe? I think that remains to be seen because governments have only relatively recently taken crypto seriously enough to care.

There's also the problem that most people (even most people using crypto) want some degree of regulation, so it's likely that regulated crypto will outpace the growth of unregulated crypto at least in the forseeable future.
The link no longer accepts applications. Is there any other way to apply?
Honestly, what I would like to see more than "Electron, but Gecko" would be "Chromium Embedded Framework, but Gecko".

It exists for Android, but not desktop (judging by a number of dead links, it looks like it used to exist for desktop).

> TikTok does this pretty well but it is also pathologically good at picking new things based on your viewing habits. It has a huge advantage over Threads (and Facebook, Instagram, X, etc) in that TikTok only presents one thing at a time to the user.

I'm glad someone else gets this. Fundamentally, TikTok are solving a much, much easier ML problem than FB/IG/Twitter et al. They can classify every post you see much more easily than the others.

This is presumably (maybe) because they were built as products with ML in mind, rather than having it tacked on at the end.
HPC admin here (and possibly managing a similar system topology with their room).

In heterogeneous system rooms, you can't stuff everything into a virtualization cluster with a shared storage and migrate things on the fly, thinking that every server (in hardware) is a cattle and you can just herd your VMs from host to host.

A SLURM cluster is easy. Shutdown all the nodes, controller will say "welp, no servers to run the workloads, will wait until servers come back", but storage systems are not that easy (ordering, controller dependencies, volume dependencies, service dependencies, etc.).

Also there are servers which can't be virtualized because they're hardware dependent, latency dependent, or just filling the server they are in, resource wise.

We also have some pet servers, and some cattle. We "pfft" to some servers and scramble for others due to various reasons. We know what server runs which service by the hostname, and never install pet servers without team's knowledge. So if something important goes down everyone at least can attend the OS or the hardware it's running on.

Even in a cloud environment, you can't move a VSwitch VM as you want, because you can't have the root of a fat SDN tree on every node. Even the most flexible infrastructure has firm parts to support that flexibility. It's impossible otherwise.

Lastly, not knowing which servers are important is a big no-no. We had "glycol everywhere" incidents and serious heatwaves, and all we say is, "we can't cool room down, scale down". Everybody shuts the servers they know they can, even if somebody from the team is on vacation.

Being a sysadmin is a team game.

Wasn't there a thing that came across here last week about them running servers for an extra year or so instead of reprovisioning?

Now they're seeking outside investment for what should be a fairly profitable and predictable deployment.

What do you plan to do when you retire?
I've used LOS in the past and loved it, but in recent times with all the cars now supporting Apple and Google, it's that much harder to make the switch. It feels as if we need a dedicated "cheap" phone (obviously talking G here) just for the car to have navigation work? I've de-Googled everything recently, but this is the last thing, which seems to be unavoidable?
I do agree on #1, it’s what limits this device the most. Being able to bring your Mac into the AVP helps some but that experience isn’t great.

As for #2, this wasn’t an impulse purchase. I had planned to buy it before it was even announced at WWDC and I saved the money leading up to it going on sale. I had 6+ months of making sure I wanted to buy it preceded by almost a year of knowing I’d want to try whatever Apple did in this space.

#3 has been almost completely a non-issue for me. I have only seen the low power notification twice. Once when I thought I was plugged into a bigger changer (it was like a 10-20w charger) and once when I was cooking and had been unplugged for about an hour prior to starting cooking because I just forgot to plug it in while I was sitting down.
Businesses do not have to act unethically. Doing so limits who you can hire and collaborate with.
At a FAANG, our services are cattle, but we still plan which services to keep running when we need to drain 50% of a DC.

Latency is important. Money makers > Latency sensitive > Optional requests > Background requests > Batch traffic.

Bootstrapping is important. If A depends on B, you might to drain A first, or A and B together.
No, we would figure out what we actually want to achieve (objective) and then (perhaps) arrive at that watch hours might be a useful way to measure our movement towards our objective.

If it is too much likely to be gamed than perhaps it is not a good metric or it needs other metrics alongside. If everything we can think of in terms of measuring if we get to our objective is too easily/too much game-able, then perhaps the objective needs revisiting.

Having things gamed to the extreme is also not such a big issue usually because in the end you also watch things like profit. During the ZIRP frenzy that got a bit forgotten in some places, so gaming was perhaps more of an issue. You can also switch objectives and measures if they turn out to be wrong/not useful.
I'm talking about the bitcoin network, not some government-controlled representative tokens. Government-controlled tokens (i.e. fiat currency) is why bitcoin was invented in the first place. And the growth in demand for bitcoin is evidence of what people want.

The government cannot control the bitcoin network. They can either choose to embrace it or not.
AFAIK:

Correct Horse Battery Staple is good! The main benefit is that with this scheme, it’s much much easier for a human to memorize, compared to a random string.

A random string is still secure, given that it has enough entropy. I would say a length of ~15 characters or more is desired (A-Z + a-z + 0-9, maybe some periods and hyphens etc.) Unfortunately, this is also quite hard to memorize.

Both these are very hard to crack! Especially if the cracker can’t do it offline. (Because online, in a good system, some kind of rate-limiting will kick in and then it takes forever.)
We are actually considering it internally as it solves our problem in combination with go templates and server side rendering.
I've worked at many companies as a SRE/DevOps where I was putting out fires every other day. It's fun to save the day and be the hero, especially if it wasn't you that created the problem in the first place

But unless there's a plan to put a stop to constant fires, you start to resent your boss, your coworkers, other teams, etc. I've been burned out many times and I've learned to recognize when it's happening but I wouldn't advise a career as an IT firefighter. Maybe for a couple of years if you're getting paid really well but work on a escape plan.
> For the more straightforward diseases it's even relatively straightforward to show that a particular virus causes that particular disease, with enough work.

I'd be really interested what this work would look like. Koch's Postulates have always made logical sense to me and I've never understood why they where abandoned for virology. How can we prove a high likelihood of causation when at best we only have data of hosts that already showed signs of disease?

Aside - this thread seems to have gone down a rabbit hole where many are assuming I'm claiming viruses don't exist or don't cause disease. I get that viruses have been made a political topic these days, but I'm only raising that as far as I'm aware viruses have never been isolated in the same way as bacteria or fungi. We've never, again as far as I'm aware, isolated a virus from a sick person, exposed a healthy person to it, and seen the same disease symptoms show up with the virus now present in their system.

One could point to vaccines for this proof, but even those include other adjuvants that are present specifically to inflame the host and help promote a stronger immune response. I'm not claiming that including those adjuvants is a problem as far as the vaccine goes, only that it doesn't fit the definition of introducing an isolated virus.

Have we found plenty of evidence that a specific virus is present in a host after symptoms are shown? Absolutely. But have we ever successfully checked the box on Koch's Postulates with a virus? Not that I know of.

I have as much right to tell you so as you have to tell me otherwise.

Your property rights aren't absolute. You're using resources provided by society, thus society has a legitimate interest in the cost and benefit of that usage.

Indeed, the governor of Texas blamed the green new deal/windmills for the power failures. I was quite surprised to learn that my state, governed by Republicans for most of my life, had implemented any sort of green new deal.

Nevertheless I learned, much to my surprise, that most of the state's natural gas system (which supplies the majority of energy for electrical generation and lots of home heating) had frozen. I (naively) thought that would be impossible since methane doesn't even turn into a liquid at any temperature ever to occur on Earth, but it turns out there's plenty of water mixed in hydrocarbon deposits.

I suspect the governor knew (or could easily have been told) all this, he just thinks he leads a state full of fools, and after a lifetime of observation, I'm inclined to concur.
Yes, but only because I wonder if its just me or other people super skeptical about this account..
Surely this is because utilities don't separate the costs of the infrastructure from the cost of the energy. In market based systems like Norway we pay for three distinct items: the energy, the fixed costs of the infrastructure, the cost of transporting the energy (the losses in the infrastructure). So I pay the first item to one company and the second and third to the local company that owns an maintains the infrastructure. The infrastructure owning company will still charge me for the cost of maintaining the infrastructure regardless of how much energy I buy from the energy supplier.
This is my take as well. Quality is important, but at least in big tech, it's not what's going to get the quick win on the stock market. But when your product is falling apart within a few years, management won't have the faintest idea why. Must be bad engineers.
Parent point was that such CVE could be fixed in Rust super cheaply (free) because code is maintained.

If I have to reinstall the whole system to fix CVE in Rust stdlib in a brave new world where everything is written in Rust, then it's certainly not free fix.
> Industry: don’t treat your systems like pets.

The industry has this narrative because it suits their desire to sell higher-margined cloud services. However in the real world, especially in academia as cks is, the reality is that many workloads are still not suitable for the cloud.

There is money in fashions. Nowhere more so than in fashionable ways to manage companies, projects or work. Whenever some methodology is applied to some process, the precise way in which it is applied tends to vary. A lot.

How many times have you heard "we use <methodology>" followed by "well...our version of it anyway". Of course, whenever someone admits to not strictly following orthodox doctrine there are howls of "you are not doing it properly".

I've been a software developer a long enough to take neither the peddlers of fashionable methodologies, nor the people who decry them as utter nonsense, very seriously. It is odd how people tend to confuse wishful thinking with reality when they start to get a bit hot under the collar arguing about these things.

I've seen OKRs work and not work. I've seen scrum work and not work. I've seen kanban work and not work. You can't really predict what will work for a given team, doing a given project in a given organization. You try, you adapt and if something works, then great.

Two things never cease to amaze me: 1) delusional or blind leaders who think that some methodology works for them just because they like to think so, while their employees hate their life. And 2) people who think that some orthodox system of thought invented outside their organization is going to work without modification.

The problem isn't so much OKRs. It is the failure to either make it work in your organization *or* find something else that does. I've worked in places where OKRs worked supremely well. I've worked in more places where OKRs didn't work at all. Mostly because people got caught up in the ceremony and didn't really stop to ask "does this help us accomplish what we need to accomplish?".
I’m absolutely loving the term Unix herder and will probably adopt it :)

I’m generally with you and the wider industry on the cattle-not-pets thing but there are a few things to keep in mind in the context of a university IT department that are different than what we regularly talk about here:

- budgets often work differently. You have a capex budget and your institution will exist long enough to fully depreciate the hardware they’ve bought you. They won’t be as happy to dramatically increase your opex.

- storage is the ultimate pet. In a university IT department you’re going to have people who need access to tons and tons of speedy storage both short-term and long-term.

I’m smiling a little bit thinking about a job 10 years ago who adopted the cattle-not-pets mentality. The IT department decided they were done with their pets, moved everything to a big vSphere cluster, and backed it by a giant RAID-5 array. There was a disk failure, but that’s ok, RAID-5 can handle that. And then the next day there was a second disk failure. Boom. Every single VM in the engineering department is gone including all of the data. It was all backed up to tape and slowly got restored but the blast radius was enormous.
Each their own individual apps. I only wish they standardized on TOTP or U2F.
Well my point is that it isn't that bad and there's a reason for it being ~100mb. You can throw out the Intl stuff and remove a large portion of that for example.
I think you're missing some aspects of cattle. You're still supposed to keep track of what happens and where. You still want to understand why and how each of the servers in the autoscaling group (or similar) behaves. The cattle part just means they're unified and quickly replaceable. Buy they still need to be well tagged, accounted for in planning, removed when they don't fulfil the purpose anymore, identified for billing, etc.

And also importantly: you want to make sure you have a good enough description for them that you can say "terraform/cloudformation/ansible: make sure those are running" - without having to find them on the list and do it manually.
Nice project! Coming from computer science, I've been dabbling with electronics a bit. My path so far has been (sorry if I'm pointing the obvious):

0. computer science

1. arduino programming + very basic circuits

2. adding a few chips and talking to them through I2C/SPI: still in digital circuits territory, sending 1s and 0s

3. designing my frist PCBs with kiCAD: a huge learning step, and things start to get a bit messy (component tolerance, transmission delays ...)

4. looking at analog circuitry / alternative current / signal processing : a HUGE uncharted territory, full of promises and headaches.

This trajectory is probably quite common, and I'm sure atopile has a role to play there, when you start growing out of arduino. Making things a bit smoother, searchable, reusable, being able to learn from other people's design - what a wonderful tool it could be!

Parent said "more saveable income", presumably meaning you use the extra money to save for a rainy day. You can also lose a lower-paying job, if the company gets into financial trouble, for example.
With that model, you’d probably want 5 instead of 4 (N+1), but the other thing to consider is if you can duct the cold air to where it needs to go when one or more of the units has failed.
This will mean just about 4 times the number of failures, too. And can 75% cooling still cool the server room anyway?
How is it different from pip freeze -l > requirements.txt?
For context, the reason why you often see explicit casts from void* to other pointer types is that C++ forbids implicit casts from void*, which is one of the few compatibility breaks that C++ did with C.

(For better or for worse, people often compile C-style code with a C++ compiler)
This is pretty cool. Just a heads up: there's a french newsletter company I was subscribed to that is using brief.eco, brief.me and brief.science. Ironically, their main selling point is summarized news but by humans.
The study in question HAS NOT been peer reviewed. https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.09329

I don't think people should pay much attention until that happens. This person has never published a paper before and she's the CEO of a company selling "solar flare insurance". https://www.f6s.com/company/astroplane With a company name that sounds like "astral plane"...

> From an astrophysics perspective, “Space Katrina” may be the only thing any of us should be working on. Even a small solar event could dismantle the satellites and electronics that now determine our entire lives. If we do not work to mitigate such a catastrophic event, we risk returning to a pre-technological era or worse. Exoplanet research commonly shows that solar flare events often blow off planetary atmospheres, evaporate oceans, and sterilize lithospheres. The immediate threat is a 2nd Carrington event that demolishes a large array of satellites and power grids.

Uhhhh what? I'm quite sure we don't have any evidence of exoplanets having their atmosphers blown off, their oceans evaporated (we haven't even really found oceans), nor have we found any life to sterilize. And the thought of a Carrington event putting us back to a "pre-technological era" is the junk I see out of clickbait stuff off youtube, not what I'd expect to hear from a scientist.
Because every CAD, which has traditionally been dominated by commercial solutions invents their own file format for lockin.

On top of that semiconductor vendors don't want to hire people to draw symbols in every possible cad solution.

So you instead have them release symbols in some preferred tool, maybe they also outsource to third party services like UltraLibrarian. There problem with the third party services is they do the laziest conversions possible between format using scripting and often do a horrible job.

Yeah, that reasoning seems broken to me.

An ABM system can be developed surreptitiously; it wouldn't be easy to distinguish ordinary research launches from ABM test launches, or to distinguish ABMs from other kinds of air-defense missile. Patriots, for example, are supposedly able to defend against ballistic missiles.

If you can't detect another state developing ABM systems, then the treaty becomes unenforceable, and is a destabilising factor.
Nations only get away with genocide because they have the technological prowess to do so, and that includes - but is not limited to - the ability to threaten ones enemies with nuclear annihilation.

Other means of technological prowess that can be used to get away with genocide include the mass control of information, the ability to pretend to be ones enemies, and the control of the education/stupidity of ones own citizen-subjects - who are, after all, the only truly peaceful force on Earth that can ever do anything effective about state oppression ..
