@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.

@cdarwin@c.imIt’s just hard to catch your breath, because every day there’s a new, outrageous thing happening with the administration
Abortion has been replaced as a top issue by affordability and the economy.
That seems to be first and foremost for everyone.
But it’s also, for Democrats,
the state of democracy writ large.
We consistently find that Democrats are more concerned about the health of democracy.

@YaleDivinitySchool@mstdn.social“A lot of times when we hear information about U.S. religious life, so much of it is based on polls, which do a particular kind of work,” YDS professor and ethnographer Todne Thomas says, noting that polls lack nuance and often focus on political dimensions of faith. “Religious life is important, whether we’re in an election year or not.”

"Oracle" for me again. 😒
Other than My most boosted post and a count of 1443 posts and 250 followers I don't think it means much on a tiny server. Everyone here is in the top 75% of users because there are two users. 😆
The categories are:
Oracle: “You created new posts more than replies, keeping Mastodon fresh and future‑facing.”
Social butterfly (replier): You replied far more than posting originals.
Cool‑hunter (booster): You mainly amplify others via boosts.
Pollster: You created lots of polls compared to everything else.
Lurker: You post and interact relatively little overall.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot"We have a funding system for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that is entirely based on the spending priorities of the UK government in England. The Welsh government has less borrowing powers than a local council, and it often publishes its final budget nine months into the financial year, because the Treasury has decided to change funding in England. This doesn’t work. And it can’t work"

@cdarwin@c.imImmigration has been a centerpiece of Trump’s platform throughout more than a decade of political life,
-- and was at the core of his 2024 election campaign.
But polls show public opinion has shifted amid the widely circulated operations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and other federal agents in urban areas.
Those operations have this month seen the shooting deaths of two US citizens in Minneapolis.

@seav@en.osm.town @davej@dice.campVery good news, indeed.
Also: “The agreement has sidelined Sussan Ley’s Coalition, who criticised the ‘dirty deal’ after Labor refused to accept its laundry list of business-friendly demands.”
This, of course, is a natural consequence of the #LNP doubling and tripling down on policies that handed them their arses at the polls, and then publicly throwing a tanty when they don’t get their way.
