> Polling domains when attached to the network Apple devices do communicate over BT even when you explicitly turn it off and put your device in flight mode.


Only if you use Apple Watch and or Contact Tracing features


Codeberg unfortunately have an abysmal uptime track record.

They were contributing a lot. So Redis-the-company lost a lot of engineering expertise when they all left for valkey.


It was formulated a little different. But this was the 2002 mandate:

1. All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces.

2. Teams must communicate with each other through these interfaces.

3. There will be no other form of interprocess communication allowed: no direct linking, no direct reads of another team’s data store, no shared-memory model, no back-doors whatsoever. The only communication allowed is via service interface calls over the network.

4. It doesn’t matter what technology they use. HTTP, Corba, Pubsub, custom protocols — doesn’t matter.

5. All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions.

6. Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.

7. Thank you; have a nice day!

Number 7 is a joke, etc.


> To be blunt, I was using Fedora when systemd was coming out, I know how it works intimately because it was constantly broken

This was Fedora 15, in 2011. I would say using this as a baseline qualifies as living in the past?


A mere dozen years. Kids nowadays, the attention span of a fruit fly...


it was more about how my muscle memory has evolved, that I know how it works and the benfits of it- not that I think systemd is the same as it was back then; clearly not as I mentioned things that are <5 years old.


> By the mid-19th century, literacy rates among whites were not much different than they are today

But the states does have among the lowest literacy rate in the west. Less than 80% was considered literate in 2024, compared to almost 99% in the EU (with a range from 94% to almost 100%).


Of the 20% of US adults who don't have a level of literacy necessary to be considered "literate", 40+% are from other countries with low levels of literacy.


Wrong signal. The problem is demographic. Not being mean, just a fact that a lot of people are illiterate live in the US, but were not born and raised here.


Success itself could be to blame for the recent reversion.


The could call Sweden and see if the can have some! In 1831 the Swedish crown started an oak plantation to supply the navy.

My translation from Wikipedia[0]: In 1975 the agency in charge of the forest notified the head of the Navy that the timber was ready for harvest. The navy declined the offer since they had transitioned to new materials

The French started their main managed oak forest for their Navy in the 1660s. The Forest of Bercé (among many others) recently supplied the restoration of Notre Dame including some trees that were 300+ years old.

It’s pretty common in European coastal nations and since the transition to metal coincided with increased environmental awareness, many of them still survive. This project just wanted to use British wood but can’t afford commercial rates.


The US Navy also had strategic woodlots, and as they keep a wooden ship around for ceremonial duties, currently maintain at least one woodlot to provide wood for it.

With Canva having 5500 employees, I guess those numbers are substantial.


> I'm having trouble understanding how else this is supposed to be? I understand that live migration is a thing, but even in those cases, a VM is "hardwired" to some physical server, no?

You can run your workload (in this case a VM) on top of a scheduler, so if one node goes down the workload is just spun up on another available node.

You will have downtime, but it will be limited.


> so if one goes down ... just spun up on another

On Fly, one can absolutely set this up. Multiple ways: https://fly.io/docs/apps/app-availability / https://archive.md/SJ32K
