Nonsense.

English is a beautiful language and adding junk words to it is unnecessary.

Keep your headcannon and use your imagination.
I tend to keep statics consolidated and slap middleware on those routes to handle expiration headers and whatnot. Versioning is handled where links are generated; an href="{{ linkfor(asset) }}" style resulting in generated urls complete with content hash tacked on. I almost never construct asset links without some form of link generator function because said functions give me a centralized place to handle things just like this.

(edit: I should clarify that I'm mostly working in Go these days, and all my assets are embedded in the binary as part of compilation. That does make some of this much easier to deal with. Javascript-style build mechanisms tend far too much toward "complex" for my tastes.)

>and it's fine, right?

The hard part of being an engineer is realizing that sometimes even when something is horribly wrong people may not actually want it fixed. I've seen systems where actual monetary loss was happening but no one wanted it brought to light because "who gets blamed"
> A typical fast food burger just isn't that great in terms of texture, taste, looks, etc. and IMHO almost always disappointingly unsatisfying and slightly uncomfortable afterwards. I'll eat that once in a while; usually because there's nothing more convenient and never because I crave one.

The "Big Mac Attack" is real. I used to get one about every six months or so. Then I would eat a Big Mac, and the attack would be sated, but the GI discomfort reminded me of why I don't get Big Mac Attacks more often.

These days I just avoid fast food. I live in a part of the country that's actually rather persnickety about good food, and there are much fresher options available nearby that are rather cheap. Plus I'm stocked up on low-carb soups, lunch meats, and other yummies most of the time now.

> And the whole point of heavy spicing in countries with warm climates like India was historically to mask the flavor of cheap cuts of meat that were maybe a bit past their prime.

My dad used to tell me stories about roadside chili houses in Texas. They kept a big pot of chili constantly going, and added whatever meat they could find, together with beans, spices, etc. to keep the pot full as the chili was served to customers. Roadkill was, supposedly, one of the most convenient sources of meat for the pot.
I agree with almost everything you say. However:

> Beyond how ridiculously reductive this becomes, it's impractical. You have to have carbs for your brain to run.

No. People live on no-carb diets just fine and enter ketosis. (And in any case, the comment you replied to only talked about sugar, not carbs in general.)
no you don't. You have to have glucose for your brain to run. Understand the difference.

If someone (I don’t know if it is true in your case or not) has a generic set of skills like - “full stack developer” or “front end developer”, there are hundreds of people applying for the same job and it’s hard to stand out.

The earth is "round" can be made political, but there is a factual consensus.

Therefore, we rely on experts that decipher information to transcend political opinions. It saddens me when scientists become political, only to add confusion to the consensus, in an attempt to weaken it.

Long live Wikipedia.
This is one of those areas where scientific consensus needs to catch up with the alarming facts that have been discovered. Scientific consensus was against handwashing for doctors and plate tectonics, and it still is in favor of "clearing amyloid plaques will totally fix Alzheimer's", but the facts just keep on being what they be.
> assume that my coworkers are idiots

I know (most?) people don't mean it literally when writing something like this but I still wonder why such self-evident ideas as "make things easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly" are framed in terms of "idiots who don't rtfm".

The best documentation is what wasn't written because it (actually!) wasn't needed. On the other hand, even if people aren't "idiots", they still make mistakes and take time to figure out (perhaps by reading tfm) how to do things and complete their tasks, all of which has a cost. Making this easier is a clear benefit.
No, you’re making a lot of assertions here that are not founded.

> while showing selective empathy only for the perpetrator and not their future victims.

Actually that’s not what I did. I didn’t really concede them “using force”, a light shove really isn’t “force” any more than an asshole pushing his way onto the subway is “using force”, and I said in sibling comments that I would have pressed charges if I genuinely thought that there was any real risk of danger on my end.

And again, I absolutely do not concede that putting a kid through the system is automatically going to lead to better results.

> These both sounds like you’re rationalizing an emotive decision, post hoc.

I am not rationalizing a decision “post hoc”, because that was literally the decision making process that was being employed when I was given the option to press charges. You can say it was dumb, that’s fine, but it’s not “post hoc”, because it’s not “post”.

> you’re soothing your own feelings without engaging in rational analysis nor true empathy, eg, by understanding that sometimes criminals turn their lives around because they’re punished or that future victims deserve your care also.

That can happen, but that’s not usually what happens when people get put through the system. You have no reason to think that bureaucratically punishing a child is going to force them to turn their life around. You’re asserting it.

I do not agree with your characterization of my character as “toxic empathy”.

Frankly I find this line of thinking pretty tiring, with people pretending that they care about abstract “future victims”, that may or may not exist, as a means of LARPing empathy.

Keep in mind the report doesn't mention what MariaDB version was being used, nor what storage engine. The description in the incident report simply doesn't align with how InnoDB behaves, at all. (InnoDB is the default storage engine in MariaDB and MySQL, and by far the most widely used storage engine in these DBs.)

For example, the author says "Whilst its primary key index still includes the ~1,300 unsequenced rows, the table itself no longer contains them." This is simply impossible in InnoDB, which uses a clustered index – the primary key B-tree literally is the table with InnoDB's design. The statement in the incident report is complete nonsense.

Also if the storage volume runs out of space, InnoDB rolls back the statement and returns an error. See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-error-handlin... (MySQL 5.7 doc, but this also aligns with MariaDB's behavior for this situation)

So maybe they were using MyISAM, which is ancient and infamously non-crash-safe and should pretty much never be used for anything of consequence, which has been well-known in the database world for 15+ years. Who knows, they didn't say.

The report directly says "Our teams have very little expertise with MySQL/MariaDB", which also makes me question their conclusion "that it is not possible" to restore/recover.

Also this whole incident happened to Sectigo, take from that what you will.

The one thing I'd criticize MariaDB for here is that they're lacking an additional safety mechanism which MySQL has: by default MySQL will shut down the database server if a write to the binary log cannot be successfully made, ensuring that any writes on the primary can be replicated as well. (iirc this was a contribution from Facebook.)
I would just like to say the discussion under your comment is exactly the kind of productive discussion citing papers and statistics I want to see more of.

Too many progressives want to terminate such discussions by censoring any dissenting opinions and attacking any kind of disagreement as bigotry.

I'm pretty sure they do this every cycle no matter who wins, but Democrats notice and recoil when it happens after a Republican win, and vice versa. There's also a titration of the news media mining clicks from a framing that de-"normalizes" the Trump administration. But that ship has sailed: you could say "This Is Not Normal" in 2017, which was a fluke nobody saw coming, but Trump won decisively this cycle, and absolutely everybody knew what we were getting into. It's time for the media to retire the schtick.
Your comment kind of illustrates his point though, there's a complete lack of mechanistic empiricism[0] in the discussion of nutrition. What is the metric for 'eas[iness] to overeat and whether it pays its rent in nutritional content.'? I agree with the premise, but it is ill-defined.

e.g. consider: A baked potato, with salt and butter vs. an equivalent weight of potato chips. They are essentially identical post-mastication, except one is 'junk food' and 'ultra-processed' and the other is quintessential home cooking. What system do I use to rank them if they are in fact not identical?

Others rely on tools that look like they were created in the early 2000s and left frozen in time. And they have no better option.

No doubt because the newer stuff is even worse.
Completely agreed, but "the whole table is now lost beyond repair" is simply not how InnoDB behaves, at all! So the whole incident report is quite fishy. See my reply to the sibling comment.

You just have to have faith and stop being so unreasonable. :p
> Some have access to fast software that looks sleek. Others rely on tools that look like they were created in the early 2000s and left frozen in time.

In my own experience, software that "looks sleek" usually means "unmaintainable pile of Angular/React/flavor-of-the-month garbage".

Don't judge software based on its appearance. Judge it based on its utility, usability, and reliability.

TL;DR: Oracle has failed to defend the trademark, or even to use it in trade.
For most of my life, I would have agreed with you.

As I've gotten older, I've become increasingly skeptical of the idea of a "fact".

There's no way to separate information from human context. Even seemingly obvious things like "that shirt is blue". To who? My wife sees it as green, frequently.

Or things are reduced to tautological nonsense like "gravity keeps us on the ground". Hard fact, right? But define gravity. A physicist will give you an answer, that may or may not mean much. A layman's definition might be something like "it's the thing that keeps us stuck to the ground", and now we're back to tautological nonsense. The entire "water is wet" class of "facts".

Anything less trite instantly becomes less fact-like the more humans are involved.

"Trump is a criminal" many people would argue passionately that this is a hard, incontrovertible fact.

Nearly as many, (or maybe more?) would argue the opposite.

I like the approach of the Fair Witness in Stranger In A Strange Land: "What color is that house?" "It's yellow on this side."

I'm increasingly convinced that the belief in "facts" is more about the desire to be right and know things than anything to do with objective reality.
> However, a CT log failure earlier this year due to MariaDB corruption after disk space exhaustion provided the motivation for a change. PostgreSQL, with its robust Write-ahead Logging (WAL) and strict adherence to ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) principles, made it a better option for avoiding corruption and improving data integrity of the log.

This sounds incredibly suspicious to me. I wonder which storage engine they were using or if there was any unusual configuration that contributed to this issue.
Yes, I wasn't sure if the pagers were supposed to be an ironic sort of "technology failure" or what. For Hezzy and Iran, for sure - they made a strategic bet on this pager scheme to avoid compromised cell phones, and that was a huge tech failure.

A group bet big on the technology and lost big. As opposed to say, drones in warfare, where Ukraine bet big and it is a game changer in 2024, it was a success for Ukraine but can't be called a failure for anyone because no one (Russia) expected any wins of their own out of Ukrainian drone adoption only to be let down.

So one unique aspect of this item is that it's the only one on the list where the failure for one global group resulted in success for a different global group. Unless you count Boeing short-sellers, I guess.
Sure, and that's the gov't we have now. The previous one was also suppressive but in different ways

Even if they’re a grandma that doesn’t understand all this password manager mumbo jumbo, they can deal with a notebook and be better off than using the same password on every site.

This has happened on Usenet for a while, according to my experience, and for many years it has been an Eternal September https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September indeed. However, in the past few years, with many low quality users migrating to other places, and with a higher barrier to entry, good content has returned. I infer there are waves, cycles of evaporation and condensation.

What do you think would be a good way for solo founders to stand out from the crowd? I understand their points are valid, and I believe mine are too. It feels like both YC and solo founders could be missing out on great win-win opportunities. How can solo founders compensate for the lack of a co-founder to balance things out?

I understand it’s more challenging, and we likely need to demonstrate more at the company level compared to startups with co-founders to get accepted into YC. But there has to be a way to overcome the negative perception of not having a co-founder. Any thoughts on what that might be?

Some of these tactics are really clever.
I’d argue digital ads kill people just via indirect means. Think of all the “dangerous” ads - fast food, alcohol, weight loss and plastic surgery, unnecessary medications, even guns. All of those things kill people over different time horizons and circumstances. Would individual people have bought the stuff without ads? Maybe, maybe not, but on a statistical level I’d guess it would be significantly less. So arguably ads do kill people and probably more than Lockheed Martin’s weapons do each year.
So your example is two places that were intentionally moderated to be hateful and also suppressed the non-hateful speech in those subreddits?

So removing a censored platform eliminated the problem? Amazing how that works!
I don't really mind how they police things and it's not the point of this announcement. The technology firms think Trump could be so dangerous to their businesses that they are willing to completely give in pre-emptively to this threat. What else are they willing to do given this, interfere in elections for example? Promote misinformation that benefits Trump? Undermine truth about vaccines and safety in our health system? The list of potential problems is quite long.
