A global job timeout might be unreasonable with high variance in workload. Eg some jobs taking 0.5 seconds and others 30 seconds. You might set a global timeout of say 60s but it sucks to wait 59.5s to reap that short job whose worker crash

An easy way to implement this is to have a "heartbeat" column that the worker updates every N seconds in a thread. A periodic cron-like job reaps jobs who missed M heartbeats. It's possible a worker was alive but unable to up

Unrelated to AGI, but quantum physics doesn't admit 'continuity'. Continuity is an abstraction. There are no real numbers in reality.

I tried to avoid clinical depression... If we're talking clinical depression I want to exclude myself from this conversation because I'm not an expert. I'm talking about social laziness. Few people have the guts to go introdu

In all fairness, speculative philosophy and evolutionary neuroscience are completely different angles on the problem. Also the problem at hand is not arguing about the philosophical properties of empirical knowledge, but that evolution may

The problem is that mean speech correlates with more damaging behavior downstream, like violence or libel. So it's a conservative act of self protection to ghost/avoid individuals who use mean speech. I for one tend to avoid them.

The real "threat" is more and more people, companies, and institutions caving in to pressure to take more explicit national-boundary stances.

I directly know "mindfulness" people and some TM people. They all seem to doing roughly the same thing: avoiding thoughts, or pushing thoughts out of their focus/ignoring thoughts that arise. My bystander observation is they&

I think the important point that's being missed is that super senior ICs are usually promoted for specific reasons . You're making it sound like they are a disposable commodity. But in my experience someone is super senior IC bec

I'm referring to the situation at hand: going remote and finding oneself isolated and depressed. That is, one felt socialized enough in the office but now that they're remote they're isolated and finding the "being remot

It's true that a lot of it happens that way. It's not particularly healthy and has extreme side effects in situations like the one at hand (suddenly moving to full time remote) People should diversify their social life.

This same old tired story... It turns out happiness takes lot of work. Having a healthy social life takes a lot of trying, failing, and some successes that you cherish. Some people tragically take their co-workers as their friends and the o

Your reply seems rooted in the fairly widespread assumption that having your own online business that makes solid "mrr" is some kind of supreme achievement and you should relish in it solely. Some people have higher-dimensional de

How do DB migrations relate to the source control graph? It seems you're implying the codebase changed as a result of a script that itself is not source controlled. I can think of style commits falling in this category, like one of the

How do you visit family without needing to take vacation? I guess you're blurring the line between "full-time from a stable remote (home/coworking/etc.) office" and full on "digital nomad". I work full-tim

I think it has nearly zero to do with cars and 100% to do with growing homelessness and grewing drug activity in homeless camps. Nobody who has become weary in Portland claims car traffic. They're all terrified by the growing homelessn

My take is it's not about gross safety statistics. It's about feeling safe. A lot of unsightly activity in your hood may make it feel totally unsafe even though statistically it's pretty safe.

I cant deal with 1080p anymore, and large (27"+) 1080p monitors make no sense to me. Maybe they're good for people who need to have physically large text etc. but I find it useless for fitting information densely on the screen. I
