Like many developers, we've built our fair share of workflows that export data to 3rd-party services. They always start simple: pull data, hit an API, job done! Then the problems show up. We hit API limits, services go down, and those quick-and-dirty workflows become a major source of headaches.

The knee-jerk reaction is often to add a queue! Sure, it helps for a while. But queues introduce their own complexity: handling failures, managing retries, creating visibility... It's a band-aid, not a cure, and we've been wrestling with this problem for too long!

In this blog post, we'll break down:

- Why queues fall short when building truly resilient integrations
- The core principles behind building scalable, fault-tolerant async workflows
- Practical techniques that go beyond the limitations of queues

If you're done with fragile systems and want to level up your integration game, this one's for you!

The difference for a car and drive by wire system is that the failure mode of control systems on cars is normally catastrophic and dangerous. If a car loses steering or brakes, it will hit something within seconds 95% of the time.

That ship spent 1 (4:30 to 5:30) hour of a presumably 10-20 day voyage in a critical control section. The tugs left the ship right around 5:08 (43 seconds into the video). A much better policy for this case would be to have required the tugs stay with the boat until it passed the main span safely.

There were no doubt maintenance issues that led to this accident, but it is exceedingly rare for these types of failures to cause this type of catastrophic result.

> Recording conversations is not the same as plotting a kidnapping.

That is true, but I was replying to OP who said such a thing never happened, when it is clear they did, including the CIA hiring a 3rd party firm to monitor Assange via illeagal methods.

Revisiting your point, this is the original source of the kidnapping allegations: https://news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-assassination-and-a-london...

This Yahoo News investigation, based on conversations with more than 30 former U.S. officials — eight of whom described details of the CIA’s proposals to abduct Assange — reveals for the first time one of the most contentious intelligence debates of the Trump presidency and exposes new details about the U.S. government’s war on WikiLeaks. It was a campaign spearheaded by Pompeo that bent important legal strictures, potentially jeopardized the Justice Department’s work toward prosecuting Assange, and risked a damaging episode in the United Kingdom, the United States’ closest ally.

The CIA declined to comment. Pompeo did not respond to requests for comment.

Additionally later on accusations of a plot to assaninate Assange became prominent too. These allegations were presented and detailed in court last month by Assanges legal team. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-68344106 (ctrl-f assassinate).

Disgusting.

I'd say compared to Shapefile, it is indeed better in every aspect (to begin with, shp has 8-character column names limit). For some kinds of data and operations GPKG is superior to other geo-formats. Like 1) store a lot of data, but retreive within an area (you can set an arbitrary polygon as a filter with GDAL driver, IIRC), 2) append/delete/modify and have the data indexed -- with CSV here you'll have to just reprocess and rewrite the entire file.

The problem is that in data science you want whole datasets to be atomic, to have reproducible results. So you don't care much of these sub-dataset operations.

Another sudden issue with GPKG and atomicity is that sqlite changes DB modification time every time you just read. So if you use Makefile, which checks for updates by modification time, you either have to let it re-run some updates, or manually touch other files downstream, or rely on separate files that you `touch` (unix tool that updates file's modification time).

I read a Russian OSM blogger Ilya Zverev evangelize for GPKG back in 2016 in his blog: https://shtosm.ru. I guess he was referring to GPKG vs ShapeFile too, not CSV. I think he's totally correct in this. But look above at my other comment with a benchmark: CSV turns out far easier on resources if you have lots of points.

Back in 2017 I've made a tool that could read and write CSV, Fiona-supported formats (GeoJson, GPKG, CSV, Postgres DB), and our proprietary MongoDB. (Here's the tool, without the Mongo feature https://github.com/culebron/erde/ ) And I tried all easily available formats, and every single one has some favorable cases, and sucks at some other (well, Shapefile is outdated, so it's out of competition). Among them, FGB is kinda like better GPKG if you don't need mutations.

I'm not sure what configuration of props a ship like this has, but in my experience with a 40ft sailboat with a single propeller you have absolutely no rudder authority while reversing. I've read that some large ships also are direct drive--there's no transmission between the engine and the propeller, so "reversing" (if it's even possible) entails shutting down the engine and restarting it in reverse. This can be done with a two stroke engine. And yes, 8.5kt is not slow when you're displacing 100k tons, no correction will happen quickly.

Conspiracy... some adversary is waiting for opportunities during unfavorable/aberrant conditions and triggering simple failures at impossibly inopportune times. Without any redundancy, conditions it looks like a freak accident. It would be interesting if you could come up with a likelihood for each conditions to have overlapped temporally. If someone comes to the conclusion that its possible to create the triggered failures it would be prudent to forbid sailing in conditions that might lead to these supposed "fly under the radar attacks".

It's free of security issues in the current context, that's the point.

You depend on calling a standard library function that was found deficient (maybe it's impossible to make it secure) and deprecated. Now there is a new function you should call. Your software doesn't work anymore when the deprecated function is removed.

Sure, you can say your software is feature complete but you have to specify the external environment it's supposed to run on. And THAT is always changing.

You're both right but looking at different timelines.

AAVE is collateralized. You can only take a loan out against your existing collateral, up to a ratio point. If you don't maintain your ratio (deposit more collateral or payback your loan), then you're automatically liquidated.

Idk about Europe in genera, but in France you cannot have different prices for cash/card. There can be (and often used to be) a minimum amount to pay with card, but that's it.

But do note that card fees are capped at 0.3% max for credit cards, so negligible in the grand scheme of things. Banks used to charge an arm and a leg for a terminal though, but a bunch of startups like SumUp broke that oligopoly and even random small stands in fairs propose card payments via them "for free".

> there's little point in enforcing a separation between users and root

I agree but I don't think that's fundamental. It's pointless on Linux because any attacker can simply alias `sudo` to something and wait.

But I can imagine a modern desktop OS where there's a useful admin account. Windows is pretty close. Much better than Linux on that front.
On Macs (and presumably iOS devices with a keyboard hooked up) it can be produced by pressing ⌥⇧K and will render so long as the receiving text field can render a system font that contains the symbol.

>But using without the Light Seal is a massive improvement. You’re closer to the screen, so it reduces the tunnel vision and expands the effective field-of-view. And rather than a black edge, you have a frame, with outside visibility.

Same thoughts for Quest 3. I use mine exclusively without the light seal now. It is a huge improvement in the ability to just casually use the thing among friends and not seem like a weirdo, and having your peripheral vision massively adds to the overall comfort of the experience. I've found paradoxically that it increases the feeling of presence for passthrough when it feels like you're just looking through a pair of glasses instead of something suction-cupped to your face. This whole idea of "locking in" to VR and closing out the outside world needs to go away. True AR that doesn't remove you from the world is the only future for these devices.

This goes ditto for controllers. The vast majority of people have never held a game controller in their lives. We (as gamers and nerds) take it as second nature, but I've seen it as the single biggest barrier to entry with demoing VR to random folks. Sticking with hand/finger based gesture tracking and rejecting controllers was the absolute best decision Apple made for Vision Pro.
Fair point, but that doesn't really resolve the issue. Here's a cleaned up example showing the same problem:

Also comes with a few niceties like the ability to directly consume Streams, Sockets, WebSockets and SafeFileHandles with U8Reader (sync/async) that solves painful and error-prone manual buffer handling when reading lines/segments/messages. It is kind of like higher level Rust's BufReader.

Definitely, also in terms of playing it fast and loose with bold security claims that the product falls very short of.

> The biggest innovation with Vision Pro is visionOS. visionOS provides native app frameworks, so developers can build apps for it. That sounds ridiculously obvious, and yet its something Meta have failed to offer for years. Every app on Quest has to reinvent how buttons work, how a scroll view works, how far away from the user the content should be etc.. and every app works differently. On visionOS, all of this is handled by Apple, and every app looks and feels the same.

Meta does have standardized utilities for translating movement to touch/drag/etc. interactions on arbitrary virtual surfaces:

https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2022/11/22/buildin...

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-isdk-...

But it doesn't seem (AFAIK) to answer the other side of this, which is the UI design system so apps have a consistent look and feel. Which is perhaps more common coming from a game development perspective, but ever since the Mac OS shareware days, Apple's understood that it's empowering to a certain kind of developer if you make it easy/the default path for them to build experiences that match a standardized look and feel. I'm honestly surprised that Meta didn't at least make an optional SDK for this.

> I would encourage you to read up on details of McHardy’s practices. They were clearly not done in good faith and there was no attempt to encourage compliance. The only goal was to extract as much money as possible even if the violations were more technical or incidental in nature and the companies willing to attempt remedy. Even minor and unintentional violations were pursued zealously without interest in remedy - just cash.

> My understanding is he also didn’t truly prioritize deep pocketed violators (no suit against VMWare, afaik) - he prioritized that delicious sweet spot of “deep enough to pay me off, but too small to make it realistic to fight me in court”.

by sheer coincidence last night I learned of a thriving community around modding Epson inkjet printers with "continuous ink supply system (CISS)" and (highly sus') firmware patches to turn them into dye sublimation and direct to film transfer prints.

This disconnect happens with boats quite a lot. For example, I can, by myself, pull a 45 foot grand banks trawler in shallow water. I know because I've done so.

But at even very low speeds, I cannot stop it from hitting a pier. I have not tried to do this, but every harbor master has a bunch of stories about people trying to do so and getting a leg or an arm or something squished and pulverized.

People who are not boat people rarely recognize these sorts of dangers, which is why so many get hurt on boats. "I can push us off the dock, so I can definitely keep us from hitting it." Nope, Sir Isaac Newton says you're wrong.
