So what’s “Facebook scale”? Is there an edge TPS number? Number of discrete major services? If you are consistently doing 10TPS on 3 services, sure. But many systems are bigger than that.

Everyone wants to be big. You can either frontload those problems, and risk drowning in irrelevant complexity, or defer them. The problem with deferring is that switching lanes appears like it will be expensive and time consuming.

The secret is that if you solve actual problems, rather than dreams and future hopes, the answers are almost always obvious. The work may be painful and people may be angry, but the rationale will be clear.

Yes I agree with you. This doesn’t add up to me. Especially this part:

“On the one hand, being in perfect health, unaccustomed to suffering and therefore easily disconcerted by the thought of death, I was horrified.”

When one is a medical student starting anatomy working on cadavers I remember such thoughts being common. But by the time one had gone through years of medical school and then years of residency I would be quite astounded that one would still have such a reaction.
I found this a very beautiful story, I was moved to tears and I learnt a lot I didn't know about the process.

Tourist numbers dropped after the '97 Luxor massacre, then after the first gulf war, and probably further after the second. It was reasonably busy when I visited several months before the second gulf war, but nowhere near as much as you should expect. There was a queue to see the famous gold death mask.
I believe they're suggesting a completely made-up skill, like "forensic poetry specialist" or "deep water ice-carver".
I see a flaw in the argument. He shifted from saying you'd use a 5 minute access token timeout to querying the DB on every request. There can actually be a big difference between those two scenarios. Some web APIs can be bursty. Even caching credentials for 5 minutes could take significant load off the DB.
What's interesting about this argument is that nothing is stopping you from doing this same thing using JWTs. Just generate your token and store it as a claim in the JWT. You can check the revocation of the stored token without even validating that the token is genuine, if that is fortuitous. What this buys you is the ability to attach clear text information with the token, and, if you are doing asymmetric validation, the ability to validate both the security credential and the included plaintext information in an untrusted (client side) setting.
I am very sorry that it cost you so much in pain and in dollars. I do sympathize with you that DPC/Concierge is a lot of hype along with the high costs.
Yes, famously the monkey selfie case.

For mostly-read flow like authentication, a centralized database can scale really well. You don't even need postgres for that.

If you have mutable state, JWT can't help you anyway.

Here is a crazy idea: maybe cars need easily removable, standardized, commoditized batteries.

At a charging station, you don't charge, you swap to a charged battery, leaving the discharged one there.

The silly status quo has to be abolished, that the battery is an expensive part that is semi-permanently attached to a particular car, until that battery becomes worn out, and is then replaced at great expense and difficulty.

Charging stations should charge batteries. Not only can they do that 24/7, whether or not there are any customers present, but a given charging lot can accomodate a lot more simultaneous batteries than parked cars. If too many
spent batteries accumulate, they can be taken away for charging in some charging warehouse.
Is this some kind of joke?

The truth is, for most of the Chinese media products now, e.g. Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Toutiao they DO NOT allow these search engines to index their content.

Even for this post which was originally published in WeChat, you cannot search it directly from Baidu or Google.

These companies are trying to keep users inside their ecosystem, that's why you can hardly find anything from Baidu now.

I know a lot of people would prefer the answer "censorship", but the method of this investigation is just like using Google Trend of "Obama" to indicate that US Internet is collapsing.

Oh, c'mon, why don't you add colon, pancreatic and lung cancer to your list.

What a fucking ridiculous non-argument. Of course there are afflictions that have a requirement for drugs and serious medical intervention. Do you think I told my mother to eat better food while she was dyeing from pancreatic cancer last year? Don't fucking insult me. Grow the fuck up and learn to have an adult discussion!

Fuck me.
But this is just assuming the conclusion. Suppose that you were to increase the housing supply as much as, or more than, the increase in population. The existing lower-wage workers don't have to leave until prices have already increased to price them out, so their leaving can't have been the cause of the higher prices but rather its effect.

So it's a feedback loop, but one which is prevented by keeping supply enough to meet demand, because then lower paid workers aren't priced out and cost of living doesn't increase.

Well, it is an empirical question whether or not matter is continuous and infinitely divisible, or discrete. Our best theories tentatively suggest that matter is discrete (though it is hard to say how much confidence to put in that, or how we could really know either way).

The batch scheduler?

I swear that I used to run it on my Mac (I know I ran SGE, but I’m 90% sure I installed SLURM at some point).

Are you trying to run Mac jobs or Linux jobs? Is there a reason you need to run it in Docker (which still runs in a Linux VM, doesn’t it)?

I switched to using a more lightweight scheduler when I need to run a batch job on my Mac. But even then, I’m running Mac jobs (or generic *nix jobs), not Linux specific code/containers.

But, if you need to manage a Linux VM for SLURM (or any other reason), I really like Lima.

EVs can be charged while parked, and there are nicer destinations to park at.

Shopping malls usually are in a better position to add charging, because they already have high-power grid connections, more parking space, and more things to do while the car is charging.
To pitch my own project, OpenPubkey[0], it is designed for exactly this use case. OpenPubkey let's you add a public key to an ID Token (JWT) without needing any change at the IDP.

1. Alice generates an ephemeral key pair (if she is using a browser she can generate the key pair as a "non-extractable key"[1]).

2. Alice gets ID Token issued by Google that commits to their public key,

3. Alice signs her API request data to Service A and sends her ID Token to Service A.

4. Service A checks the ID Token (JWT) is issued by Google and that the identity (alice@gmail.com) is authorized to make this API call, then it extracts Alice's public key from the ID Token and verifies the signature on the data in the API call. Then it passes the signed data to Service B.

5. Service B verifies everything again including that the data is validly signed by Alice. Service B could then write this data and its cryptographic prominence into the database.

Technically OpenPubkey uses a JWS, but it is a JWS composed of a JWT (ID Token) with additional signatures. OpenPubkey signed messages, like the ones passed via the API are also JWS.

I'm working on a system where each service in the path adds their signatures to the signed message so you can cryptographically enforce that messages must pass through particular services and then check that at during the database write or read. Using signature aggregation, you don't get a linear increase in verification cost as the number of signatures increase. It doesn't seem to add much overhead to service meshes since they are already standing up and tearing down mTLS tunnels.

The main question to me is how much autonomy do you want to give to your services. There are cases in which you want services to query each other without those services having to prove that the call originated from a specific authorized user.

Of course it is. Does it have the following?

- Automated memory management? Check

- REPL-driven interactive development? Check

I don't know what else do they want. I feel like this is some kind of "programming language racism" and "Lisp eugenics" bullcrap.

Yes, Clojure is different than Common Lisp, but it is important to recognize that diversity in languages and their ecosystems can be valuable, and differences don't diminish the contributions or identity of a language within the broader Lisp family. Why can't we instead borrow good ideas from Clojure and implement them in CL and vice-versa?

I love Lisps. I love Common Lisp and Clojure, Fennel and even Emacs Lisp. Whenever I need to jump between Javascript and Typescript or even between different frameworks, I feel like I'm programming in different languages. That doesn't happen with Lisp. I can relatively easily switch between Clojure, Clojurescript, Clojure-Dart, Fennel, Emacs Lisp and CL and still feel like I'm programming using the same language. Completely different platforms - same language. I really don't understand what this fuzz is about. Clojure is a Lisp.
I'm pro JWT, but reducing load on the DB itself isn't a massive argument in favor of JWTs, because an opaque token solution can simply cache the result of a revocation check at whatever time interval is comfortable for the use case of the token. So assuming the API has access to a cache layer, there isn't a difference there. If there is no cache layer, there probably should be.

In a hyperscaler situation things are different, but we should avoid treating that as the norm.

If words being similar is truly an issue we would have vastly different languages.

Related words for related concepts is very normal, and if you are a professional in this space it's the least we can do to recognize the difference. We aren't astronauts, we have the time to figure it out.

Language learners already learned a second language, they have the skills to figure this out. At least it's not a homonym.

DING DING DING!

About 30% of all interviews I've had in my career the person doing the technical interview was using it as a means to stroke their ego. I got the impression they don't get the power they want there and this was a brief reprieve where they are "the expert" and get to thumbs up or thumbs down in their kingly intellectual facade.

TBF, I personally cut them some slack because they may actually be right about a lot and not given the authority to do what they know is right.

Still, if we're subjected to AI resume filtering, then how about we replace the technical interview process with AI too and eliminate the BS ego trips?

Hm, I think we may find chickens coming home to roost in the next recession perhaps. Obviously not because of variable rate mortgages, but we’ll find out if people stretched themselves too thin. I’m sure there are metrics about that as well but I think that’d be the best test.
No they would not. Linux is IPv6 compatible since 1996. Apache since 2002. Python since 2004.

The C programs and network protocols have been implemented for 20+ years.. so why isn't everyone switched yet?

Because IPv6 refused to be IPv4-with-extensions and instead decided to be completely incompatible - so all the admin scripts, all the best practices, all the configuration needs to be rewritten. Instead of fixing a single apache codebase, one needs to fix millions of adhoc network configurations.

IPv7 on the other side, had absolutely different philosophy:

The objective of conversion is to be able to upgrade systems, both
hosts and routers, in whatever order desired by their owners.
Organizations must be able to upgrade any given system without
reconfiguration or modification of any other; and IPv4 hosts must be
able to interoperate essentially forever. (IPv4 routers will
probably be effectively eliminated at some point, except where they
exist in their own remote or isolated corners.)

this would get things converted much faster.

1: foster inclusivity and diversity and an environment where everyone feels safe.
2: encourage collaboration and cooperation, discourage competition.
3: have an open ear for complaints about misbehavior and aim to resolve such conflicts amicably.
