Sure. First of all you can have a look at the linked graph of temperatures, especially the Pleistocene. The wildly fluctuating levels indicate how temperatures change abruptly over a few decades as a rule as glaciations came and went. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Interglacial#/media/File:...)

If that doesn't convince you then please read up on the Heinrich events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_event) and Dansgaard-Oeschger events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dansgaard%E2%80%93Oeschger_eve...) respectively, both of which have been recurring drastic changes in temperature in recent geological history.

And that is without even mentioning all the great extinction events that have taken place.

So much for the thought that the current climate change is unique among climate events. But let's not forget the greater point here: this fact doesn't mean that our situation isn't precarious. It just means means we can't tap into the quasi-religious notion that humans (or those dirty oil profiteers) somehow wrecked a pristine world in perfect balance. It still means we need to stop polluting the planet (in a myriad of ways), and that we have grave adaptive challenges ahead that we need to start working on ASAP.
Kandahar is a city; Gandhara was a kingdom. (But, yes, there is a theory that the name ["Kandahar"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar) derives from Gandhara, as opposed to deriving from "Alexander" -- though it seems generally agreed that there was a city -- [Alexandria of Arachosia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Arachosia) named after him built on that spot.)
The purpose of capitalism is not technological advancement, innovation, or efficient deployment of resources. The purpose of capitalism is that rich people get paid for being rich.

If you believe otherwise, you will learn the hard way when you seek your reforms and find that none of the people spouting the high-minded capitalist rhetoric support the actions that would bring it closer to reality. In short, the monkey's hand isn't trapped. The monkey is masturbating into the jar. It knows exactly what it is doing and you will not be thanked for interrupting.

Nice, thanks for the added detail. I'm taking notes! Might see if I can do something similar.
It seems to be a slightly better version of what postgresql offers. I have no experience or insights in what it does as it seems to be invite only currently.

But it joins a long list of not quite Elasticsearch alternatives with a much smaller/narrower/ more limited feature set. It might be good enough for some.

As for the criticism regarding Elasticsearch:

- it's only unstable if you do it wrong. Plenty of very large companies run it successfully. Doing it right indeed requires some skill; and that's a problem. I've a decade plus of experience with this. I've seen a lot of people doing making all sorts of mistakes with this. And it's of course a complicated product to work with.

- ETL is indeed needed. But if you do that properly, that's actually a good feature. Optimizing your data for search is not optional if you want to offer good search experience. You need to do data enrichment, denormalization, etc. IMHO it's a rookie mistake not to bother with architecting a proper ETL solution. I'd recommend doing this even if you use posgres or paradedb.

- Freshness of data. That's only a problem if you do your ETL wrong. I've seen this happen; it's actually a common problem with new Elasticsearch users not really understanding how to architect this properly and taking short cuts. If you do it right, you should have your index updated within seconds of database updates and the ability to easily rebuild your indices from scratch when things evolve.

- Expensive to run. It can be; it depends. We spend about 200/month on Elastic Cloud for a modestly sized setup with a few million documents. Self hosting is an option as well. Scaling to larger sizes is possible. You get what you pay for. And you can turn this around: what's a good search worth to you? Put a number on it in $ if you make money by users finding stuff on your site or bouncing if they don't. And with a lot of cloud based solutions you trade off cost against convenience. Bare metal is a lot cheaper and faster generally.

- Expensive engineers. Definitely a challenge and a good reason for using things like Algolia or similar search as a service products. But on the other hand if your company's revenue depends on your search quality you might want to invest in this.

> Redistribute the (potential) DOJ judgement to Firefox with no preconditions.

If the money is distributed to Firefox, the precondition that it be spent on browser development is an absolute must.

It's pretty scandalous that they take donations but spend the money on pretty much everything except funding Firefox development, which is almost certainly the only reason people donated it in the first place. No one really cares about any of the other things they do, especially not compared to the browser itself.
This isn't a hill I'm willing to die on, but it's mildly annoying that people couldn't just grow up about this.

I worked on a similar project - the Stanford braindrop chip. It's a really interesting technology, what happened is that most people don't really know how to train those systems. There's a group called Vivum that seems to have a solution.

I work with QDI systems, and I've long suspected that it would be possible to use those same design principles to make analog circuits robust to timing variation. QDI design is about sequencing discrete events using digital operators - AND and OR. I wonder if it is possible to do the same with continuous "events" using the equivalent analog operators, mix and sum.
Beyond the market, the Sahm Rule indicator triggered which was designed to indicate the start of a recession. It happens when unemployment rises 0.5%.

Given there are/were cities that are not in such decline and such a state, including SF itself, it definitely seems like there are politicians that can fix it.

The values conflict may be relevant. If, for example, you think it's critical to allow and facilitate your fellow man to become total enslavement to drugs that destroy their lives and health and eventually kill them, then I can get that you won't want to do anything to stop it, even if you have to live in squalor for that to be the case.

> Americans want to walk

They actually don't. I mean I do. My wife does, and one or two of our friends do. But almost everyone else we know aren't at all interested in having a walkable city. They love their cars and garages. US cities are the way they are because a great majority of Americans want them that way.

It 100% bums me out, but that's where we are at. Americans that want to walk are a small minority.
Hey, thanks! I have a lot of ideas, one of them is to actually have a scrollable timeline so you can see how your budget develops over the years. Also I am thinking about adding things like planned future expenses, and a retirement calculator.

Sadly I don’t have enough time next to my day job, so progress is slow. I am hoping that it might gain some popularity, so I can maybe start allocating more time to this project!
"Yes"

From a glass making point of view you don't want them messing with expansion coefficients and bulk properties so they're off the table there - it's a waste of energy to reheat them up to ~ 1,000 C.

But you do end up with large volumes of glass .. a relatively consistant material, you might want to crush and tumble that (to take the sharp edges away) and use that sized grit | frit as driveway material, as additive to concrete where structurally sound, as fish tank "sand", etc.
It makes total sense that the person at the centre deserves comfort and support. I didn't mean to imply that this aspect is anything other than fundamental to human psychology.

I think your second paragraph speaks to what feels artificial about this "theory" better than I could express it. It's almost like it's "baked in" that you dump outwards. Like there's an expectation to dump outwards. This feels ignorant of the diversity of human character. Most people will probably want to dump out at some time or another. But a lot of people will want to feel like they're being spoken to freely and honestly, without regard to social expectation.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't practise sensitivity and consideration. The big problem I have with the phrase "I don't know if I can handle it" is not the fact that this person is expressing that feeling, but how they're expressing it. It's somewhat catastrophising and insensitive to the centre person's feelings. You can say effectively the same thing much more tactfully; for example:

"I can only imagine how devastating this has been for you. It's been challenging for me too, because I really really want to support you but it's difficult to confront the situation and how badly it hurts you. I'm telling you this in part because I want you to know that if my support ever slips, it's not that I don't care, but rather that my own internal shit is making it hard to express that care properly. There have even been times where it felt overwhelming... but I hope that I can help you to feel my care for you even through those times."

If my friend said this to me, even in my darkest moments, I think that I would really appreciate the combination of candour and consideration. Although obviously not everyone is me and everything has to be decided case by case.

I think that’s just the nature of kernel programming. Once you’re running in kernel space, there are essentially no safety guards, which is why kernel programming is so difficult. Any faults that occur in user space causing a seg fault + core dump do not exist in kernel space. Especially since kernel code generally has to be written in C, it can be quite difficult even for the best engineers to get everything right.
Seems obvious to me that once the incentive is made that maximizing views at all cost occurs, the platform will (slowly or quickly) eventually cater only to the types of people most eager to provide views.

Are they okay or not isn't even the right question, it's more like, is a site that mainlines their eyeballs a reasonable platform to exist? (Revenue numbers seem to say no, but something something irrational markets)

Compartmentalize. Your day job du jour is not your life, nor the meaning thereof. And you definitely need multiple other sources of self-esteem and social interaction.

Have Red Lines. All-consuming work weeks, broken promises, inter-personal nastiness, lack of credit, shorted or crappy pay, ways you won't treat other people, lies you won't tell, etc.

Have a Plan B. Whether BigCo crosses one of your Red Lines, or just lays you off, or your job there stops seeming "worth it for now" - do what you can to make sure you won't be SoL for lack of alternatives. (Yes, thinking about and working on a Plan B or few can be one of your positive Compartments.)

Exit Gracefully. Even if you're 100% in the right, angry rants and telling tales are very unclassy. And will help convince a lot of people that you're in the wrong. Or are making shit up. Or that BigCo's HR was smart to dump a hot-tempered liability like you. Privately practice explaining your departure in understated and ever-so-blameless corporate terms. In a neutral, passive voice drone-tones.

Avoid Legal Action. In serious cases, 99% of the people who say or know too much are treated as expendables. If you quit when BigCo was dumping toxic waste into the municipal water supply, and wanted you to sign off on that? Even if kinda pressed, say "I was a bit concerned that a few things had been underbid, so in the future it might become miserably difficult to maintain full regulatory compliance." No hint that you ever knew specific details, let alone of any wrongdoing. Be very aware that big-case lawyers are extremely good at tracking down expendables who know too much, getting them to say too much, then dragging them into court.
Thanks! Really encouraging to see people liking it :)
On the business side, what's your business model, how do you generate revenue? What's the longer term goals?

For the most part it's usually best to just go lowest that's stable, there are some "rules" online but most of them are just random things someone came up with. There are a couple JEDEC ones but the memory controller will adjust to work with those or it'd just not work.

A 1:2 sync usually starts being worth it above ~7200MTs but I don't know how viable that'd be with 4 dimms, at the very least it'd need tuning the various termination impedances
> Does your automated test place an order with a valid, working credit card?

Yep. Organisation owned card for the purpose, details used by selenium for the test. Details stored securely, I might add, as PCI/DSS and ISO27k1 were important to us.

> Does your test include going through 3D Secure too?

Yeah. Same bank card always being used meant we could automate the flow.

> Do you then automatically cancel the order?

It went through the whole despatch process, including label production with couriers etc., and was then cancelled as that tests everything including CANCEL/VOID and the whole critical flow.

> How do you make sure that whole unusual process doesn't get blocked by unusual activity fraud detection?

By using the same card over and over, placing an order for a normal item, talking to our bank when it did occasionally get flagged.

> Whose credit card is it?

The businesses.

> Have broken tests ever lead to the test order getting fulfilled?

Yup. We had a few that appeared on our doorstep, both due to our error, and client error.

Some feedback.

I’m not your target market but…….

I’m a big advocate of not having pages the tell you what it is, rather take the user straight into it.

If that is not practical then your website should:

1: state what it is

2: show demos of it

You want people to experience and use the thing, not read about it and close the page.
I don't think so. As far as I understood this, the wildcard match was basically considered a no-op (since anything matches, they probably optimized by not even attempting the match), and so that 21st field was never provided to their Content Interpeter, so it never crashed before. The first time they actually added a non-wildcard match, the Content Interpeter was actually asked to check the 21st field as well, and it crashed because it only had an array of 20 items.
AFAIK (but may be massively wrong) is that most clear glasses have many composition types and don't mix well and the industrial brown/green is all the same.

There was no "er,...,hhmmm, wow, ugh" in the commenter's post. To the extent that rambling and evasive rhetoric is being deployed here, it's coming from you.

First you made a plainly irrational (and basically pretty silly) assertion -- that the only people who don't want to own cars are anxiety cases and alcoholics. Right here, on the internet, in front of all these people. And so you got rightly cornered and called out for it.

You then followed that up by attributing a quote to person that you're responding to ("Everybody wants a car because public transit sucks") that they plainly didn't say, and then put it alongside something they did say, in order to claim they were making some kind of contradiction.

It's difficult to see what you might hope to accomplish with such tactics.
