Weeks? Try years. As a parent of a newborn, I can confidently say that my wife hasn't had a full night's sleep for even one night since the kid was born in early July - she watches the kid at night (we live in a one bedroom apartment with the crib in our room - it affects me, too, but I try to tune it out and focus on sleep, as breadwinner). She also watches the kid all day while I work (9-11 hours). She's drained. I don't see this getting any easier for at least 12 months. It's a long road.

We don't have family to support us and we can't afford childcare. So, that's our situation. Not complaining, just saying - it's not weeks of a little bit less sleep. It's chronically interrupted sleep for months, maybe years (according to Dr. Ferber), with severe affects to hormonal regulation and mood and weight.


I have two kids. After the first 3 months they were sleeping 7-8 hours through the night.


I hope not, three-month-olds are supposed to sleep 14-17 hours a day. Also, what happened when they dropped naps? Night sleep typically worsens right beforehand, as the residual nap pushes their lengthening wake window into night sleep. How did you manage their congestion when they were sick? Many kids, especially those using a pacifier, lose the ability to link their short, 45-minute sleep cycles and need to be comforted throughout the night even into toddlerhood.


7-8 hours at a stretch, there are more hours of sleep that happen on either side of that stretch.

Congestion with those little pipe things that you can used to suck the snot out of the baby’s nose.

We never used a pacifier. The baby slept in the same room and my wife nursed her for three years.


Not all kids are the same. Shocking I know…


Okay. Deal.


I'm not sure what "memory efficient" means. But, Go sprung as a competitor to Java (portability, language stability, corporate language support/development) and C++ (faster compile times). Can't beat C++ in terms of memory management (performance, guys, not safety) much. But, you can fare well against the JVM, I'm guessing.


In this benchmark actually no, Go doesn't fare well. There is actually higher static overhead per goroutine than JVM VirtualThread. I presume this is because of a larger initial stack size though/

This probably doesn't matter in the real world as you will actually use the tasks to do some real work which should really dwarf the static overhead is almost all cases.


Yeah, I think you're wrong. It should only take ~10s. tokio::time::sleep records the time it was called before returning the future [1]. So, all 1 million tasks should be stamped with +/- the same time (within a few milliseconds).

This makes total sense!


Yep. ~$.33/kWh in Southern California (SoCal Edison) and going up all the time!


$0.51/KwH during peek hours in San Francisco!


Or like Pulumi?


Wait. Am I missing something? Isn't that ~90m of car time assuming mild traffic?


I don't think they were flying SFO to SJC, rather they considered rebooking to SJC to avoid the delays at SFO


SJC is so much better. Honestly it's almost worth going to SJC and taking Caltrain despite the extra time and cost just due to how much nicer it is


When SFO is operating on only one of its two runways (common due to low clouds, now due to runway construction) then 3h+ delays are par for the course for flights in the evening.


I don't understand how this works in the case of testing many applications running on many machines, where many services on many machines need to communicate with each other. We deploy a mix of systemd services and OCI containers (running on podman and Docker) to different machines, the exact mix on each machine depends on the machine's intended purpose.

We currently run CI tests using QEMU VMs. These VMs comprise a few systems representative of those that we deploy to production.

Does adopting Antithesis mean that all non-containerized applications would need to be OCI-ified and every interaction would need to be mocked? There's a sort of combinatorial explosion that I'm concerned about when I'm thinking about testing/adding a new service to a system: All services on which it depends need to be mocked and all services which depend on it require creating a mocked version of it.

Seems like a lot of work. Can someone please help clarify things for me?

Also, how could we test the behavior of non-application code like drivers or the kernel itself?


The relevant part is

> The Antithesis environment simulates one or more computers using a collection of containers, all running within a single virtual machine managed by our hypervisor.

No mocking needed, but everything needs to share the single VM.

And it sure sounds like they run a custom kernel in the guest, so this is not for kernelspace testing:

> Since the Antithesis platform controls the guest’s scheduler,


I believe they have a discord for asking questions directly to their engineers https://discord.gg/75cBWkbC


Thanks!


Trump is cooler, you mean?


In the sense that a senile rapist wearing diapers while trying to set himself up as Americas Hitler with brown people playing the role of dangerous menace instead of Jewish people can be said to be cool. Nothing says Übermensch like a full pair of depends and the heady smell of shit mixing with the smell of clown like greasepaint.

I'd say he should have done this when he was young in the 80s but the role of TV star cosplaying as President was taken back then and we really both the apprentice to bring Trump into the popular consciousness and a drastic overreaction to a black man becoming president to make his ranting resonate.


Maybe you'd have had better luck with placebos. No side effects?


Placebos can sometimes have more harmful side effects than actual drugs: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/science-blog/harmful-placebos
