Too many factors to possibly diagnose if “it’s you”, or even if there is something “to fix”.

Anecdotally, I desire to hang out with people who share my interests and want to do similar activities that we both enjoy.

I’m a few years removed from college now, and it’s highlighted to me just how special living closely with people of similar age and interest does for one’s social life. Once you spread out, gain dependents, work, etc… it’s much more of an effort to stay in touch.

Just because someone doesn’t reciprocate your effort to connect doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want to hang out with you.


Eh it's not that bad, lived in Phoenix for 25 years so I'm used to it... vacation weather for 7 months of the year. Great access to nature. There's always trade-offs no matter where you live.


All excellent points. The best is when most workloads on the cluster use a temp table with an identical name. Then someone comes along and accidentally drops the TEMP from the their temp table ctas and it gets smashed into the public schema.

“Table already exists…”scheduled job run failure galore, fun times.


Steering has gone out twice on a family member’s Model Y. N=1 example but plenty of other companies now make EVs and they do a decent job of it… shedding 29% still leaves the company at an astronomical valuation, ~100bn larger market cap than Toyota.


Toyota will have a greater marketcap than Tesla, by the end of this year.

I just purchased a Camry Hybrid and it is just an incredible driving experience.


Toyota is a dinosaur that’s going extinct with their policies on EVs


Toyota's [IMHO correct] insistance on manufacturing hybrids instead of full-EVs is what is going to help them be so successful. My Camry hybrid gets 50mpg+, and "re-charging" it on roadtrips is as simple as filling the gastank.


…or they’ll be the only one left alive after everyone else loses a fortune.


Does that include the super annoying lane-keeping? Rented a Corolla and would never want to drive that again.


That feature is easily turned off, which is a good thing because it is more dangerous than helpful.


Also, steering-by-wire is not exclusive to electric cars, it's common ICE's as well - so it's even more apalling to have catastrophic steering failure on a new car, it's not the bleeding edge of tech.


This requires the obligatory https://db.cs.cmu.edu/mmap-cidr2022/


The linux kernel lets you trigger asynchronous writes of the pages as well as synchronous barriers to ensure they've been written.

You don't need to use direct I/O to have fine control.


Fair point, I think I’m approaching that view of just doing it, but I’m not quite there yet. You said it yourself that at least it makes them question the value of said task… and I don’t think bringing it up shines back on me negatively. Regardless I appreciate your thoughts.


>You said it yourself that at least it makes them question the value of said task…

I'm not quite sure I said anything closely approximating that?


“Responses to questions range from "I don't know, I was just told" to "Let me get back to you"”

I assumed you meant that this created a sense of reflection in the requester as to the value of their ask.


Yeah I can see that now, but for me "I don't know, I was just told" = "Don't know, don't care" and "Let me get back to you" = "I am ending this line of discussion. Don't bring it up again".

If there's a sense of reflection in the requester, it doesn't survive past the end of conversation with me.



Good paper and overall the right opinion but not very relevant to a relatively simple system as OP described since they weren't dealing with safety, transactions, etc.


Also not access times, so OP doesn’t care if the OS frees the pages again.
