Honestly I think it already is.

A lot of people who talk about massive gains seem to forget about code review.

Then in a company someone who has to review is is f*cked because that code is much more complex and takes much longer to review.

> This is really fascinating. As someone who reads a lot of history and historical fiction I think this is really intriguing. Imagine having a conversation with someone genuinely from the period, where they don’t know the “end of the story”.

Having the facts from the era is one thing, to make conclusions about things it doesn't know would require intelligence.

The term free speech is misleading. It is really freedom of speech. I.e. someone who says something doesn't have to be afraid of prosecution because of what they said.

It isn't the speech that is being protected it is the person who says it.

Using the term "free speech" creates those weird scenarios where now we have someone argue that the US Constitution mandates ads to be everywhere.

> Is this addressed in PG14? Or is it still to come in PG15? I haven't kept up with the latest Postgres stuff but I thought they were fixing the connection stuff.

This is by design, postgresql doesn't come with a connection pooler. For each connection a separate process is started. If you have a lot of mostly idle connections then you should use use pooler in your application, server side (e.g. pgbouncer) or both (there are trade offs).

When working as an SRE every place that I worked at that used MySQL had at least one situation where MySQL database got corrupted itself without any damaging events (i.e. no broken hardware, no disk filling up (but even that shouldn't corrupt data), no machine crash or hard restart).

They essentially destroyed all competition (AIM, YIM, ICQ, MSN etc), the open source solution that would standardize chat (XMPP) and themselves. Making people just go and use proprietary solution like WhatsUp.

XMPP was so promising.

Isn't enough to just disable cloud access?

Edit: I got upvoted by somebody, but as an UI user I'm genuinely looking for an answer. If it's still possible to get inside if devices aren't connected to UIs cloud.

It doesn't bring confidence to me that the other competitor is company run by the richest man in the world.

I meant a real competition.

Most likely the way it will happen is that it will be really nice for customers with Amazon offering lower prices until SpaceX is driven out of business and only Amazon is left.

I really like that competition is coming, but hate that it is in area that again no one else can compete.

To bring competition all what's really needed is a legislation mandating that the last mile can be leased to any company (for a reasonable fee of course) and we would get back once again to times when we needed sites like dslreports.com to decide which ISP of so many in your area to use.

You still can do that using @asyncio.coroutine decorator

for example

    @asyncio.coroutine
    def hello():
        return "foo"

Although not for long, they deprecated it in 3.8 and will be removed in 3.10. I wish they would leave it, since I was able to use them to write API that could be synchronous or not depending which constructor was invoked. I'm wondering if there are better ways to do it.

Perl gets a lot of flak, I am no fan of it, but frankly the least readable language IMO is bash.

I believe the issue was that Perl 6 had too many changes that made it hard to convert apps from earlier version.

That created some kind of limbo where people weren't sure if they should use perl 5 or perl 6 (”why develop in perl 5, when it is probably a dead end and perl 6 is the future” and at the same time "why should I convert to perl 6, what if it will be a failure and I wasted my time?")

By renaming it, it revives Perl 5 so developent can continue, and at the same time Perl 6 is presented as a new language, now whichever wins will be based on its merit.

Actually you don't need to use desktop version. It tries to make you install it, but if you just click back to exit Play Store, and on the FB page to prompt the installation there's a faint X that you can click. At least it works in Opera Mobile.

Interestingly if I leave the tab open I also get notifications if someone responded.

The problem with Jepsen is that it can prove that systems are unsafe, but it can't be used to prove that systems are safe.

For example Consul did their own Jepsen testing[1] in which they passed them, but Kyle pointed out [2] that they passed them only because they changed timeouts from 1 s to 300 ms effectively making the race condition window smaller.
