But does it work with custom ("initial") sql?

This was one of the failing points of south in my opinion.

It has not been proven. This is false. Please stop spreading it. Multiple people were killed in clashes with the police. They did not help the rioters. This is the type of misinformation that caused all these problems.
I'd rather think these platforms suddenly realize the keyboard warriors they've been entertaining (as in, hosting) on their platforms are actually capable of carrying out brutal violence...
> Bitcoin's narrative has had to morph from "digital currency" to "digital gold".

M. Saylor is preaching this it seems. It's just a better asset (less supply, no mass~)
so cool! Way more newsworthy than some of the other stuff that gets airtime.
ISIS had thousands of Twitter accounts and were selling Rohingya underage girls into sex slavery over Facebook.
It's an average inflation-adjusted expected rate of return over time of a balanced portfolio, not a guaranteed rate every year. Some years might be 10%, some years might be -10%.

Historically, about 4% is the safe drawdown rate. FIRE folks tend to be a little more conservative than that, though, because of the even longer time horizon involved with retiring earlier.

Check out a tool like https://www.firecalc.com/ that is designed to run backtested simulations to see if your drawdown rate from your starting assets would historically be safe for your time horizon. The UI is clunky but the math is good.
That is definitely not true
the powers that be curate certain titles that sound incorrect, but not the ones that ARE incorrect..
iOS does not allow you to use any engine other than WebKit (Safari). Firefox, Chrome, Brave etc, whatever browser you use on iOS is a wrapper around Safari's engine.
Netflix is now hiring full time remote for engineering, reporting to the office post COVID is optional.

Source: I’m a full time engineer happily working out of the PHX suburbs.

Personally, I have no intention of returning to the Bay Area.
I'm not sure that before the big bang even means something?
Heh, I came to just the opposite conclusion. With serious weather/fires/disasters even the local gas stations may be inoperable (they do need power) or just swamped.

Having a go bag and a fully charged charge was quite reassuring. Doubly so because Tesla's are really efficient, so you get the rated EPA range at 65 mph or so, but you can get double that at half the speed. They also do exceedingly well in heavy traffic (stop and go), relative to gas vehicles.

It's easy to underestimate the number of chargers around, in my city there's quite a few more charging stations than gas stations. Granted many are much slower than the superchargers, but any port in a storm, right?

I couldn't really foresee any scenario with a big fire in central California where I couldn't just get on 80 or 5 and head north/south/east/west to safety and not worry about the charging infrastructure until after I was safe ... even if that meant all the way to Nevada.

BTW, I do have the luxury of a garage with power, but I've seen an increasingly large number of Tesla owners parking in driveways, and even street parking with long extension cords.
Maybe. The traditional query hinting implementations like MySQL's are all about exposing planner internals, but maybe if someone proposed a form of query hints which is less intrusive then there might be fruitful discussion about it. I think a huge issue is that as soon as someone mentions query hints they directly think about MySQL's and similar solutions.
I'm sad for that.. It was truly a neat project with many great ideas, but Kubernetes influence brought it to an end :/
You joke, but this is basically how Facebook uses MySQL for the main user table and for the majority of Entities: https://blog.yugabyte.com/facebooks-user-db-is-it-sql-or-nos...
No you're certainly not the only one. I've found a good way to filter recruiters is to tell them up front, "I will only do full remote with occasional, non-regular office visits."

Once you've tasted freedom...
Unfortunately I didn't find it enlightening. It's just another anecdote. More likely a confirmation bias.

I am not a smartphone dev. So I don't care either way. But I want to see a proper benchmarking. Not another internet hot take.
The Motorola Photon 4G had an entire Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distro packed into the ROM image, and they sold a docking station for it that basically turned the phone into a full fledged computer when connected to an HDMI capable monitor. Its cousin, the Atrix, did the same thing using a laptop-style dock.

A company called Cybernet has been putting full computers in keyboards since at least the early 90s (think Commodore 64 but with x86 guts).

In other words, this Mouse-Box is evolutionary, not revolutionary. I like it, but I'm not blown away.
On the one hand, I feel smugly better about using another browser[1]. But how could I feel this without google (i.e. google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic) to provide the ammunition? I'm so confused now.

Learnt something new on HN today! Thanks a lot for your comment.
all I see is a fear (of being alone, whatever might be the reason) and weakness (to face reality, to stand to annoying people around etc.).
You wanna be alone? So be, and be proud of it, no small lies all around you. Or way more realistically, you wanna partner? Well get the hell out of your stupid phone and meet real people. It ain't easy, but nothing really important in life is...
That's the kind of attitude that leads to massive security flaws. Understanding security is more than just "yes or no". You must understand the concepts. If you don't, stop professionally writing software, because you're doing something irresponsible that will do real harm to real people.
It's google eating its own tail and doing a 'malware report' on google.com.
That the aristocracy is not geographically local makes it less socially humiliating to ask them for help, but the arrangement is still financially problematic.

That the aristocracy has become more abstract does not mean it has ceased to exist.
My wife has a Pinterest account. She has dozens of neatly maintained boards and about 300 followers. It's an amazing space. But for my male friends and myself, it's not even on our radar. It's an odd dichotomy. So many spaces are overwhelmingly male, this one stands out for the opposite. But I've no idea what causes it.
> I wonder if there's a way to modify the mainboard (knife a lead or something) to be incapable of using the battery while still charging and the OS still being able to get reporting data.

Why go the hardware route? The AC adapter state is reported to the operating system; for instance, KDE on my laptop plays a sound when a blackout cuts the power to the AC adapter. It should be simple to have something else monitor the power state and tell logind to lock all screens on AC power loss, or even force a shutdown if you're paranoid.

Not that it would help much; there are devices which can keep the AC power on while a computer is unplugged and transported, even for desktops (which have no internal battery). Nothing prevents these devices from also being used on laptops.
On a large scale, what would be an easier way to control for so-called "black culture"?
And I bet if you sent 'Happy Hanukkah' vs. 'Happy Holidays' you'd get much more traffic from Jewish recipients. Repeat with any holiday specific to a group.
I use Amazon affiliate links on my blogs when I refer people to products. The redirector is there as it is much easier for me to link to /?XXXXXXX when I compile posts, than manually build links from the Amazon Associates site. From the disclosure on the site:

"Some of the links contained within this site have my referral id, which provides me with a small commission for each sale. Think of it as a form of tipping for the large investment of time I put into this site. Thank you for your support."
Maybe I don't understand the extent of the author's fear, but this seems a bizarre way to try to improve your diet. Why not just learn to cook simple, traditional foods that feature vegetables? No traditional cook would serve a big bowl of plain spinach. Why would you even want to teach yourself to eat that?
This is bizarre. The guy in charge is spouting gibberish.
That's a pretty interesting finding, I wonder if anyone else has done similar testing and would care to share their results?

Also, I can't help but grin about "conversion" and the religiously-tinged "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Holidays" debate. Perhaps the already-converted are more likely to... convert?
For the most part, I've noticed it means "do things Flash does, but on an iPhone/iPad." So yeah, canvas.
That's a good point. It's set up so folks can edit their tweet, hopefully making it more relevant to more of their folks, but how many followers will really be in SF or the Bay Area?

A motivation for sites like sfmayorvote.com is that Twitter (and maybe Facebook statuses) potentially offer a new way to measure and visualize public opinion. That's a goal that has huge implications for democratic governance, marketing, etc.

But I'd say Twitter has some design flaws that really limit its usefulness there: for instance, the fact that you can't have both public and protected Tweets on the same account, and the fact that it's not easy to be selective with who receives your Tweet. I'd love to see the Twitter folks add good functionality to address those issues.
Remember the bulk of Pyramid is repoze.bfg - which is 1.5+ years old and has 100% test coverage.

Pylons really hadn't had anything other than bugfixes in quite some time, and had some problems with stacked object proxies which would have required a fairly substantial rewrite. Whether you consider Pylons dead or just simply finished is a matter of semantics. I still think Pylons is an extremely capable platform and I don't think you should be afraid to touch it. There is still plenty of mindshare around for Pylons.
nice to see bespin used in the wild, and for such a cool project too!
Sadly, it doesn't look like it comes with socket.io, but I just hacked together http://testing.jsapp.us/ which is a sort of real-time visitor counter.
At the time this book was written, 37Signals couldn't keep a Rails stack running for more than a few hours yet, according to that old rant by Zed Shaw.
Unless it was a joke by 37signals to attract visitors to their job board.
Spam killed email? Complaining about spam is something I only hear from people who don't use gmail. Prior to that I had a yahoo address. I still login a couple of times a year to keep it alive. Very occasionally I see a relevant message there but really it's 90% spam.I can't believe how bad yahoo still is for spam.

Also don't blame the spammer for spam. Blame people. Fact is, there wouldn't be spam if it didn't work. The ugly truth is that one person in a million who can't find porn or Viagra on the Internet by themselves pays for all the spam.

Facebook is obviously big now for communication but don't write off SMS yet because it has one thing all the messaging wannabes still don't: ubiquity.

Of course the fact that AT&T charges me 25 cents per SMS sent AND RECEIVED (no other country does this to my knowledge; certainly Australia and Europe don't) or I have to pay $90 for a pretty basic level of service (ludicrously high by OECD standards) is another story entirely...
works in chrome too
We used PHP to serve up a couple of includes. That tech was implemented before Rails was born. It works so there's no reason to change it.
At least in the case of Klaus Fuchs, he was a member of a family active in communist politics in Germany before emigrating to the UK and then the US. Others are first generation born in the US, but at least in Seborer's case, the entire family seems to have been active in communist politics. The development of communist and socialist ideologies in the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires prior to WW I provided a very fertile ground for recruiting among families who had fled repression in those regimes.
It's not good to attribute all that credit to iTunes. Amazon and Google may have been able to negotiate other terms. Because unlike Apple, neither Amazon or Google had a separate MP3 player and thus no incentive to enforce DRM.

Seems that every thread has someone claim that if it wasn't for Apple, X would never exist and I'm frankly tired of it.
The FCC/ETSI certification isn't too much of a barrier, being a matter mainly of money. Any manufacturer can pay to have their product tested by a third party lab and certified to conform to FCC/ETSI regulations.

The real barrier is the spectrum licensing, which is a matter for the operator rather than the manufacturer. These at the rules that say that a particular carrier payed for the exclusive use of a band of frequencies and no one else is allowed to use that spectrum.

As I understand it though, the law is reactive, in that the law is not broken by owning a capable device, but by using it. Even then, the enforcement depends on a complaint from the carrier (ie. they have to catch you), but if you get caught the penalties are severe.
Although lazyness is the usual suspect, it has nothing to do with this.
nice sites but is there a more direct and effective way to reach 1 on 1 with these guys?
I believe that's correct: it supports HP "ePrint" branded printers directly and, maybe, any other printer attached to a Mac or PC with iTunes installed by going "through" the Mac or PC.

It's because they don't want to start having user-installable device drivers on iOS (a laudable goal); I assume HP ePrint printers work because they speak something very PDF-like natively, though that's purely conjecture on my part.
Can you tell me more about "robot CEO"? :-)
Wikipedia wouldn't be open to an acquisition for the same reason they're against putting advertising on their site -- it'd ruin their neutrality.

And also, IIRC, rumor has it Google attempted to acquire Wikipedia a long time ago but was rebuffed for this very reason.
The fact that this made it to the front page not only confirms the stereotypes that I'm representative, but made me giddy to be surrounded by so many other nerds. How many of you had Star Trek: TNG action figures? :)
You're exactly right. However, I imagine a lot of people in the crowd thought it might be part of the speech.
This is a search engine optimized for searching for a very specific type of information. Then they've tacked on a way to monetize those searches. What could be more 'core' to Google than that? As such it seems to be the most focused product they've released in a while.
No. Both my post and other posts like ax0n's are not arguing that Crunch is a great hacker, nor are we just focusing on his demeanor and hygiene. I can't speak for the other posters, but I was just doing a PSA, so he doesn't take advantage of any other people through his fame and the misrepresentation of "yoga". I witnessed this first hand, but was too shocked and horrified to do anything about it since I was late to the meeting in Palo Alto (not to mention they were just finishing as I got there). Crunch was actually angry that I refused to do "yoga" and fix his back, which is really unreasonable for someone you don't really know.

Although it wasn't overtly or criminally sexual (at least from what I saw), the guy he did it to, said he felt violated and taken advantaged of after wards when I dropped him off at Bart. Others have recounted similar experiences to me.

You've made light of that, to the point where I feel you're condoning his behavior just because he's a great hacker; which really pisses me off

I don't know what pisses me off more: your posts or remembering that I was too paralyzed to help that poor guy even if I only saw just 2 minutes of it.
Artificial Intelligence is not hard, we've had it for awhile i.e. chess.

Lay people think AI means something like artificial intuition. Which is very hard and can only be done poorly within narrow domains.
I made a comment on this a few threads above. Yahoo Answers is a prime example of laypeople making suggestions. Sure there are people with experience and solutions, but for the most part you get so much background noise with people who just speculate on unrealistic solutions or tell you to take XY obscure herb.

The point here is that people frame medical problems on top of their own experience. And everyone's experience is different. You can have the same symptoms for countless different diseases.

My thinking is that the only people who can see this objectively are medical professionals who have different folks coming into their office every day. Everyone else is biased by their own experience. Does this make sense?
One of the more legitimate uses I've found for monkeypatching is fixing bugs in libraries you don't control when the maintainer is for whatever reason unresponsive to your pleas. I.e. replacing someone's broken method despite lack of a pre-existing contract. Is that supported?
Ironic for erlang..

I kid.. I kid
Well Google will surely do it first.

I've already edited code using my iPod touch, via a SSH client - it was slow because of the small screen and on screen keyboard, but I had to fix an error on the live site and had no computer to hand.

I think you could easily code a whole site with VGA out and keyboard on a iPhone 4. Which could then be used from the device itself.
Dunno; I suspect I sink faster in water than I would inevitably sink in Karo... does that count?
I agree, I don't think a traditional government-controlled company is the answer.
It's probably a mix of public and private entities, with a very strong and independent control authority that doesn't fear shutting things down if they find some wrongdoings (even if this means losing a lot of money in the short-term).
Article completely misses the actual point of the old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" maxim: if you try to fix it, you might screw it up.

When you hear people saying "if it ain't broke..." it means they're concerned about accidentally making matters worse, not that they're lazy or insufficiently concerned with "continuous improvement".
True. RAID is about reliability and performance, and it seems the Drobo isn't winning points there either.
Roughly 70% of the women I have seen are attractive. 20% quite attractive.
And this is okay?? This is acceptable? This is not a community that I want to be a part of.
I have some idea of what it's like because I spent a week and a half trying to follow the gluten-free diet before seeing the gastroenterologist. The first 4-5 days felt like pure deprivation, but after I stocked up on some basic "raw materials" such as meats, fish and raw veggies, things got a lot easier, and I was actually enjoying what I was eating. It helped that we opened up the backyard grill that week too. Of course I didn't dine out (or have takeout) a single time during that period, which my wife was not too thrilled about.

If it turns out that I really do have Celiac, I think the hardest part about it will probably be not being able to go out to dinner easily. In the beginning I'll want to do as you suggested- play it safe until I know how seriously I react to the cross-contamination that is likely in restaurants. Some people can order a burger, throw away the bun and eat the hamburger patty, while other people would be sick for days from such a stunt; I have no idea how it'll affect me until I actually start feeling better.
Most don't stay for dinner. Many go home, have dinner with their family, and get back on line from home later.

Does anyone work strict eight hour days, five days a week?

TL;DR Everything you ever wanted to know about Objective-C's NSMutableArray
I don't think it has much to do with fairness. Africa has fair&lovely too. But from what I hear they love black people. (Never visited myself.)

It's the particular distaste for Africans that I don't understand. All foreigners face a degree of racism, but Africans seem to get it the worst. Women tend to be the most racist, morality police and spurned vixen depending on the situation. If an African woman wears shorts in her housing society it's a danger to good morals. And if an Indian woman tries to pick me up but I don't feel like dumping my (Mozambican) girlfriend right there, somehow the black girl is the problem.
I wonder if it can generate bindings for Python like Vala does[0]? That would make it even more interesting for Python developers.

It’s obvious the author means well — and thanks to him for plugging the NOSQL Tapes! — but there are some seriously leaky assumptions at work here about a) how Mongo, Redis (& RDBMSes) work and b) the extent to which this poorly-digested (or regurgitated) understanding applies to other NOSQL solutions.

Too many shortcuts, inaccuracies, half-truths and implied errors to list here. The core idea of learning about NOSQL through first-hand experience (& dissection) of each project is sound, though.
If you need unicode (i.e. your app will take more langauges than english and spend a lot of time on that (hint! GUI hint!), the 3 is the way to go. Unicode support is so much better...

For the rest, it depends on the libraries you need...
Or its some cheap future proofing like when they added support for 4k sector drives in Vista, or 256TB drives in Windows XP?
Sometimes a form will not accept "NA" it requires a URL, so I made URL's that "mean" NA. Or other things!
We have a .Net wrapper internally and we’re really looking forward to getting back to work on it. No commitments on the order but a few of us who really like it to be the next platform we target (including Xamarin, Unity) now that Android is out :)
I agree. There is no wrong way but Flash galleries for the most part annoy me to. They're useless for the most part because mostly they can be implemented without Flash anyway.

But you do still see a lot of flash galleries on professional photography sites. Having talked to quite a few photographers I think most of them want to have Flash websites because "that's what everyone else does" ergo it must be right/cool. Some have claimed they want Flash galleries because of copyright issues, that images can't be saved directly from Flash sites. I guess they've never heard of print screen/screen grabbers.

The thing that really got me about this site though was how right down at the bottom they claimed "This page was made on a Mac using Adobe Flash but you probably won't notice". And they're right. I didn't really notice until I saw that text. Which is cool I guess. But it also explains why I couldn't ctrl+click to open links in new tabs or copy text off the page. You know, those kind of minor behaviors that have become standard in browsers and people have come to expect.
So rather than a tool which shows a diagram of my project with all the branches I've made, you'd rather I read a book with a diagram of someone else's project with all the changes they made?

Interfaces are interfaces. CLIs are good for some things, but bad at discoverability and limited in their communication.
