Transactions -- or the lack thereof -- have nothing to do with the consistency guarantees offered by rqlite.

You may wish to read this:

https://github.com/wildarch/jepsen.rqlite/blob/main/doc/blog...

rqlite -- to the best of my knowledge and as a result of extensive testing -- offers strict linearizability due to its use of the Raft protocol. Each write request to rqlite is atomic because it's encapsulated in a single Raft log entry -- this is distinct from the other form of transactions offered by rqlite[1], but that second form of transaction functionality has zero effect on the guarantees offered by Raft and rqlite (they are completely different things, operating at different levels in the design). If you know otherwise I'd very much like to know precisely why and how.

I don't know if it is really comparable. I listen to a lot of music, if any of my top 50 favorite musicians tour in my city, I don't hesitate to pay 50 quid for a ticket. For some I am willing to fly out. If Spotify didn't exist, I'd have bought many albums.

But I can hardly think of a YT channel I like enough to pay money. I guess I bought a couple of online courses made by relatively popular YT creators, but that's about it.

Hi, I built a low-code platform WebWidgets.io (WWIO) specifically for companies that are too unique for cookie-cutter SaaS products to work well, but not big enough to do their own development work. I've built several WWIO apps for small businesses/nonprofits that have saved multiple FTEs worth of manual data work in Excel.

WWIO achieves high productivity by moving all the logic into front-end JS code, which accesses and persists data to SQLite DBs on the backend with a simple, standard API (for VIP clients like you, I would augment this with some backend Python scripts). This approach makes it super-easy to build the CRUD features, while allowing a backdoor when you need special functionality. For a sports camp nonprofit, we did a backend integration with Google's OR Tool library, to solve their scheduling problem with a single click:

I would love to do a call to discuss your needs. If WWIO seems like a good match, I'd be happy to build an MVP at no charge and create a strategy to move forward with minimal risk. If not, I'd be happy to share my thoughts as a seasoned engineer. Contact info in profile.
I still don't think you're following what I'm saying.

When you go to the grocery store, what is the DEFAULT option available to you? Is there a corral of hundreds of wheelchairs with one waiting for every shopper?

Just because something should be available does not mean it should be the default.
I personally have and am dieting in accordance with my doctor who signed off on my meal plans which include these sweeteners.
Most stock pickups, actually. You'd be surprised how low the clearance is on a stock f150 without the various off-road packages. I.e. you can easily have a pickup with basic 4wd but only 8 inches of ground clearance. That's technically "high clearance", but not by much, and the poor approach, departure, and break over angles make it tough too.
Same dude has posted two lying propaganda pieces by this same author this afternoon. Seems like an agenda.
Well, that's your problem, dude. :)
Yeah it's not a cheap approach but unless the water is coming in really fast it'll get the basement really dry. Key to have the drain and pump well below the footings otherwise yes the water will just be under the slab.
Subaru Impreza has less than 8 inches of ground clearance, which is the threshold they use in the link.
This is excellent advice but I would back up a few steps and do a few things before bringing in a freelancer team.

Identify a part of this system that can work somewhat in isolation and is non-critical if at all possible. Then document the requirements for this part thoroughly. This allows you to:

- Have something smaller for your new team to cut their teeth on.

- Ensure you have collected all the diffuse domain knowledge for this part in one place in the form of structured requirements.

- Forces you to think in terms of what you need and what is acceptable delivery,

If need be you can bring in a Senior/Staff level engineer to help you through this discovery and definition phase.

In my experience the most common difference between success and failure for a project often comes down to clear requirements and expectations. Your employees are the domain experts. You need to collect that expertise and document it in a way that this team can reasonably consume. This is difficult and time consuming so start now.

They will still have questions and get things wrong but this gives you a roadmap. They are going to be learning your industry while you are learning how to build software.

Best of luck

These are constructed categories that a given person might agree or disagree with. You are free to identify cultural similarities between an Andalusian and a Neapolitan, but that does not make the change the fact that those two people may view themselves as coming from entirely disparate cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

For example, your decision to categorise "Latino" as non-European is very arbitrary. There are lots of Latinos who speak European languages and participate in European cultural traditions.

The horrifying thing is that the US knew the Japanese wanted to surrender, and knew that demanding abdication of the emperor was both a major impediment, unnecessary and in fact harmful (because it would reduce the number of outposts that would accept the surrender order). The US had broken the codes used with messages to diplomats in the USSR and other traffic and could clearly see the Japanese situation. Despite this they never waivered from ambiguous "unconditional surrender" terminology... likely so they could continue pressing the front in Korea which would also end with a peace.

So the US could have had peace earlier, with several hundred thousand less deaths, if they had been willing to put in writing specifically what they actually wanted, and what they got in the end.
Really? Seems to work fine for me. I have Gemini 1.5 Flash summarize articles for me and it works great.
Pulling something like this off is pretty serious business, there are a million things that can and often do go wrong, which is why so few software projects are successful.

And you're in a pretty shitty position, to be honest. Because you don't even have the skills required to hire the right people. Much less handle the project yourself and delegate tasks.

My advice would be to find someone you trust with plenty of software experience, explain the situation and LISTEN to what they have to say, especially when it's not what you want to hear.

Or you're likely going to waste a lot of time and effort making the situation even worse, happens every day.
I have 20 panes and it works fine.
Unsurprisingly, Microsoft Dynamics 365 is an absolutely shit app from the user side too. It's horribly slow, has a nearly unusable UI, uninformative errors, that kind of thing.

The expense reporting side of D365 is especially bad, or maybe it's just my employer's integration of it. It doesn't properly understand currencies or conversion rates, so maybe you'll stay at a hotel in Prague and the expense report page will say $20000 instead of CZK 20000, and then it will write a completely wrong exchange rate, and then refuse to accept the report (with an error in a bar at the top of the screen, but it's modal) until you properly itemize this incorrectly recorded expense down to the last haléř.
What would you like to see in a hacking themed game?
Hello everyone, we are currently developing a 2D arcade hacking game. It's heavily inspired from Hacknet if you've ever played it.

The UI is mostly looks like a custom version of Kali Linux and the main hacking part is simple but comprehensive. A I've mentioned in the beginning, the game has an arcade gameplay but everything else is designed to be as immersive as possible with a lot of real life references and techniques.

What we'd like to know is that what would you want to see in a arcade hacking game. Please let us know, thank you!
What is IPTV and how do TV boxes with lifetime subscriptions work?

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. It's a system that delivers television content over the internet, instead of traditional cable or satellite connections. This means you can watch live TV, movies, and shows on your TV using an internet connection.

A TV box with a lifetime subscription is a device that allows you to access IPTV services. It's essentially a small computer connected to your TV. The "lifetime subscription" part means you pay a one-time fee for continuous access to IPTV content, without recurring monthly charges. This can include a wide range of channels, movies, and TV shows.

However, it's important to note that the legality and reliability of such services can vary, and there's no guarantee that the service will remain operational indefinitely, despite the term "lifetime subscription."

I had to create an account to say that I agree with this comment.

I am a former Intel engineer who worked there for 8 years. I left Intel 2 years after the ACT mass layoff in 2016.

The culture there is extremely toxic from top to bottom. The VP's and top level executives were out to get stocks and golden parachutes. The middle managers played politics. In addition, they also pulled a blind over leadership on many significant happenings. The engineers / technicians kept secrets as a way of keeping themselves relevant and valuable in case of layoff events.

The main and sole money maker for Intel is getting quality silicon out of the door and that should be the number one objective for everyone. However, due to stack ranking, that is getting as many bullet points as possible in order to appear relevant when it comes annual review or mass layoff events, many people come up with bullshit projects that while on the surface look extremely impressive, have nothing relevant to pushing quality silicon out. The middle managers play favorites and push or highlight those bullshit projects.

When they fly expensive executives around for the BUM's (Business Update Meetings) or to pitch some bullshit ideas, not many had the courage to ask the relevant questions. The few who asked them were met with canned and non-informative responses that only showed that these expensive suits had no awareness of what was going on externally. At the same time, we were too busy patting ourselves on the back, claiming that we were number one.

We were too busy playing political games and competing internally that we forgot about the real external competitions, and then it was too late and they zoomed right past us.

I doubt the CEO (past and present) or VP's care or even have an inkling on what has been going on in the culture.
If 91% of population growth comes from one group, how is that "increasing diversity" like the article claims?
In the last half of the 90s, I was working on a project to move (redevelop) a bunch of mainframe applications to a client-server architecture. It was known that there would not be time to redevelop some of the required applications in time for Y2K, so they had to be updated to support 4 digit years instead of just 2. I don't recall any real panic as the work was started years in advance and probably completed with several months to spare. I had previously worked at that location in 1990 and by that time they already had a standard that any new development was to use 4 digit years (it was part of the code review checklist). It was only the oldest, pre-1990, mainframe systems that needed the fix before Y2K.
the previous poster didn't say that subarus are not appropriate for fire trails, it's saying that Subaru's are not off road vehicles for "particularly challenging terrain", as in "Think step rough rock climbs or soft sand."

What it does say is that for fire trails, "clearance, strong tyres and suspension travel" are more important, which the Subaru does quality for.

Much bigger companies use AWS for very practical well thought out reasons.

Not managing procurement of hardware, upgrades, etc, and a defined standard operating model with accessible documentation and the ability to hire people with experience, and have to hire less people as you are doing less is enough to build a viable and demonstrable business case.

How to learn a foreign language like a software engineer
It's good that amongst the know-it-all Reddit responses typical to these kinds of education threads, the OP learned something about his or her car, and came out of the thread with a better knowledge of the differences between 4WD and AWD. One of the Redditors summed up the stupidity of these marketing terms:

All Wheel Drive? Cool. There are four wheels. All of them means four.

I'm sure many people's knowledge of their car ends there. The terms 4WD and AWD are as misleading as USB Full Speed vs. USB High Speed (quick, tell me which one is faster without looking it up?)
That's wrong and the market has proven it. The M3 MacBook Air is the best computer for most people - period, not just best ultrabook or best laptop. There are almost no compromises for 99% of people's usage.
AWD has come a long way in that regard in the last few years. It's still highly variable from manufacturer to manufacturer, but systems that use internal clutches alongside brakes (and not only brakes) to control wheel movement + tight feedback loops can really do a great job of minimizing wheel spin.

They get a lot of hate, but the bronco sport has the best AWD system I've driven to date in that regard.

And with that said, it is still the type of thing the Park Service would rightfully cite as not a proper 4wd. 9ish inches of clearance is not much, and the lack of a low range will bite you. I've taken mine on plenty of milder 4wd only trails in parks (e.g. black gap in big bend plus tons and tons of forest service roads), but I'm certainly not going to do elephant hill in canyonlands with it. That's what the dedicated off-road rig is for.

There are "4wd only" trails in national parks that high clearance AWD is fine on. The rangers will tell you which ones those are.

Canyonlands is a different beast than most national parks. Canyonlands has some very gnarly trails open if you have a permit. Lookup dollhouse sometime. Beautiful, but insanely technical. Elephant hill is better known and a bit milder.
Amazon ECS is and always has been free of charge. You pay for the underlying compute and other resources (just like you do with EKS, too), but not the orchestration service.
If anyone is doing this seriously, calibrate your monitor, calibrate your scanner:

https://www.silverfast.com/products-overview-products-compan...

BUT.. here's the rub: if your film is old, it has probably faded. So whatever you scan is going to be "wrong" compared to what it looked like the day it was taken. The only way to easily fix that is to try and find the white point and black point in the scan and recalibrate all your channels that way. Then you're really just down to eyeballing it, IMO.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I'm glad to hear that gnunet is still slowly but actively developed. Recently I saw that the gnunet package in Debian is orphaned and will be removed by the end of month [1]. But if the network is currently not really usable, except for developers, then that is probably not a big deal.

You're conflating the characteristics of the ISA with the value proposition offered by the designs using it. Not the same at all.

Other historical architectures typically targeted higher performance.

Arm specifically went after low-power applications, which continues today when we see the priorities in the design of Arm and x86 cores, for example.
> Being 5V tolerant doesn't mean that your 3V output can sufficiently drive an input that expects 0-5V levels correctly.

It's fine for TTL (like your 74LS245 is), which registers voltages as low as 2V as a logical 1. Being able to directly interface with TTL eases up so many retrocomputing applications.
Even more simply, their goal stopped being making the best product at the best price. Features that were fused off could have made their products better for no extra manufacturing cost. Your business is broken when you view your products as being too featureful as a cost.
I personally love k8s. I run multiple small but complex custom e-commerce shops and handle all the tech on top of marketing, finance and customer service.

I was running on dedicated servers before. My stack is quite complicated and deploys were a nightmare. In the end the dread of deploying was slowing down the little company.

Learning and moving to k8s took me a month. I run around 25 different services ( front ends, product admins, logistics dashboards, delivery routes optimizers, orsm, ERP, recommendation engine, search, etc.... ).

It forced me to clean my act and structure things in a repeatable way. Having all your cluster config in one place allows you to exactly know the state of every service, which version is running.

It allowed me to do rolling deploys with no downtime.

Yes it's complex. As programmers we are used to complex. An Nginx config file is complex as well.

But the more you dive into it the more you understand the architecture if k8s and how it makes sense. It forces you to respect the twelve factors to the letter.

And yes, HA is more than nice, especially when your income is directly linked to the availability and stability of your stack.

And it's not that expensive. I lay around 400 usd a month in hosting.
> Except ReSharper lints for other things too.

Up to a point - it lints the things you might need in a C# application. But it's very much a tool for the MS/Windows/C# vertical - even using it in Rider isn't really their focus. If JetBrains was building the linter they used for all IDEA-family IDEs in C#, that would be interesting.

> Azure DevOps

Right, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Is anyone using that who's not already bought into MS/Windows/C#, is that a market they sell to at all? Can you even run it on anything other than Windows? It sounds like not, which rather proves the point.

"microsoft didn't really care much about building a community or getting it to work natively in other OSes/toolchains" still rings true IMO. C# has some great stuff if you're fully onboard with the MS stack, but they've taken at most baby steps towards fitting into other environments. (If anything it feels like they expect the rest of the world to fit in with them - if you want to bring e.g. Postgres into your MS/Windows/C# world that's relatively well supported, but going the other direction is much less so)
That’s the best information to hear. If the goal is weight loss, it is interesting what the conversation could be like today, since GLP-1s are more in the zeitgeist.

I would suggest the author also look at Amazon Ion:

* It can be used as schema-less

* allows attaching metadata tags to values (which can serve as type hints[1]), and

* encodes blobs efficiently

I have not used it, but in the space of flexible formats it appears to have other interesting properties. For instance it can encode a symbol table making symbols really compact in the rest of the message. Symbol tables can be shared out of band.

I just lost about 130 pounds over the past two years (328 -> 196). It wasn't because I learned something new. It was because I figured out how to actually do the things that I already knew that I should. I didn't even do anything as dramatic as keto. I just ate less and exercised more (and spent time at high altitude, which seems to be a massive factor for me). But the "just" there is doing a lot of work, because actually doing that was really really hard and was the result of nearly a decade of growth and self-improvement in my ability to manage my own behavior.

Nutritional advice is pretty simple, at its basics. Eat a reasonable number of calories, minimize saturated fat and sugar intake, eat red meat sparingly, get some vegetables in there. There's more detail than that (obviously, that's what this thread is about), but that's sufficient for basic health. There's almost no one in the developed world who couldn't give that advice. But we have an obesity epidemic anyway. People know what to do. They just don't do it, and that's a different category of problem.
The "paradox of the x86" is simply the classic Innovator's Dilemma. In fact the history of the last 20 years against ARM could be a case study right out of the book.

Worse for Intel, AMD flubbed it time and time again, but now Intel is too weak to defend against a resurgent AMD.

Meanwhile they are cutting headcount deeply yet only now suspended the dividend. Madness!

They should take a page out of AMD's book and spin off fab. That new company can then be flooded with "strategic" government aid, and maybe the rest of intel can catch up (or not) but it would at least give the shareholders a better chance. Right now the combination is acting like two anchors tied together.
> it's clearance, strong tyres and suspension travel that’s more important.

> A Subaru has none of the above.

Maybe you and I take different meanings from the phrase "none of the above". My intended meaning was that a Subaru has "some of the above".
