Well, first of all, it's not a closure, it's a struct, though closures are syntax sugar for structs.

Second, what you said is true, but also not really relevant; mutability is part of the API in Rust, and so that is part of the interface.

To make it more concrete, https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/iter/trait.Iterator.htm..., the protocol, takes &mut self. So it must be mutable. It's following the principle you're talking about.

New schemes teach the masses to build AI
MongoDB of course has right to change their license to anything they want. One day they might decide to go proprietary with no notice too...

According to our poll many users will seek alternatives for MongoDB because of the license change

I'll give you one where it benefits us, in the real world, where it's -not- just horizontal scalability.

Almost all of my team's efforts are internal applications. They're high throughput ad related functionalities, but fundamentally another business client says "hey, we have a user, we need an ad", and all our stuff works to fill it.

We are, as such, on an internal VPC in AWS. This is fine.

But we sometimes need to allow for client code run outside of the network to be able to securely change out our stuff; think ad partners modifying their inventory.

We can add an API on top of one of our services, but then we have to deal with authentication and proxying.

We can certainly authenticate and proxy those requests into the network ourselves. But that creates some fun and interesting risks and issues; we're building something explicitly to bypass the safeguards of running in a private subnet in our own VPC, and tunnel traffic from the big wide world into the depths of our own network (which is also connected to our corporate network).

We can also spin up a new service on a server that lives outside the VPC; however that has the downside that we're paying for an instance for a very low traffic service, and it still requires support.

Or, we use a Serverless paradigm. The website hits API Gateway/lambda endpoints, authentication is provided via Cognito, and it all leads to the lambda executing against a single resource (S3, Dynamo, whatever) to modify data that our services read from. No entering our network, and all security relying on security primitives Amazon owns and maintains (they are far better equipped to handle it than we are). And it will cost us pennies, while leaving our existing infrastructure unaffected.
"Organic" Farmers aren't very well defined unfortunately. They do use pesticides, but "organic" ones. The overriding pattern is that "Organic" farmers use stuff that is all natural. (for some... fuzzy... definition of all natural)

But we all know that Rattlesnake venom is 100% organic and all natural. So I'm personally not sure if the distinction between "synthetic" and "organic" is very appropriate. Nature can certainly mass-produce poisons that can be detrimental to humans.

The Pesticide problem is rather simple: we want to spray a poison onto our plants that kills insects, but doesn't harm humans (or the plants). Whether you use an "organic" pesticide or "synthetic" one, the fact remains that you are consistently spraying poisons. And these poisons haven't been very well tested for long-term low-level exposure levels. Be it organic or synthetic.

Seriously the internet should stay true to free speech and allow any content regardless how objectionable it may be to the vocal minority pushing agendas all the time.

If a person gets triggered by something they are free to block the content for themselves and live in their cosy little bubble it's their right but once they start imposing that on others I take offence.
I Agree. Programmers in general should use worse machines sometimes.

Hey HN,

I compiled a list of over one hundred upcoming rappers and used APIs and scrapers to get over 3,000 total data points.

Sort, filter, and search by:

- Gender, age, location, record label, and region

- SoundCloud follower and track count

- Instagram, twitter, and facebook follower data

- YouTube subscriber data, plays, and video count

- Spotify popularity, followers, track count

I think this is particularly useful/monetizable for:

- record labels looking for new talent

- concert/entertainment venues that want to gauge the size of the audience of an artists

- artists looking to collaborate with other artists

Appreciate any feedback and ideas for new features that could be added.

Here is the analysis: Let's think about the context where this would come up: A party ("Service") takes the SSPL'd MongoDB and implements a service. Service releases some code based on a good faith interpretation of the scope of the release necessary. There is a dispute between MongoDB and Service as to the scope of the necessary code release.

In the ensuing lawsuit, Service raises misuse and argues that the scope is ambiguous. Leaving aside the misuse argument, a court could either a) find for Service, thus restricting the scope of the code to be delivered, or b) find for MongoDB, thus giving rise to an immediate defense of frustration/impracticability, which would undo the contract.

Not disagreeing with your sentiment, but not all academia is like this. The comment applies very specifically to NIH & the life sciences (which admittedly is a really big chunk of science, both by dollar amounts and labor force).
The whole framing of meta-analyses as the pinnacle of reliability is sort of concerning. They're a huge help with messy questions like "what the hell is up with priming?", but between choosing which studies to include, standardizing their controls, normalizing their results, etc. it's amazing how far they can be skewed.

One thing I don't know: what does preregistration even look like for a metaanalysis? You can state some conditions up front, but a lot of the degrees of freedom only come into play once you're deep in the work looking at specific studies.
here's another idea...why not just hook someone up to some electrodes and put them in a place with some lavendar and see how their blood pressure, brain activity, respiration, etc. respond.

of fucking course lavender relaxes people. people have known this for thousands of years and don't need some overpaid scientists to tell them it does, and nobody needs to extract a single molecule (out of hundreds or thousands) and turn it into a pill...although i wouldn't mind doing a few rails of it just for kicks! lol

Null results are, almost by definition, easier to find that statistically significant ones. What you need are highly improbably null-results. Null results that are truly surprising, surprising because the preponderance of other evidence, theoretical and realized, point to it being true.

In other words, its generally much easier for your head to come out of the barrel without an apple.
I suppose this kind of discovery science would be considered "preliminary results," meaning funding agencies like to see it done but won't fund it? Sigh.
Not quite. There are administrative problems with the AGPL, which are inherited here. But it is the scope of this license that pulls in these new defenses.

>* I wonder how good the disguise "technology" is that they won't disclose in a public YouTube video.*

The impression I got of government tech from the Snowden leaks was "script kiddies at scale". I don't think their technology is "better" but they may have unique abilities by virtue of access to large databases such as DMV/passport photo DBs.

Or they can do things like get a court order compelling $COMPANY to pipe any publicly posted profile photo to them with the reasoning it was publicly posted and thus has no expectation of privacy. Other things at scale like that.
I think the key difference is that "Skywater machines use a patented Adiabatic Distillation Process, where water vapor is reduced to liquid without a gain or loss of heat." so it's a little different than just a regular dehumidifier.

It also seems to be able to pull a lot more water than a normal dehumifiier? "Skywater machines are ranging from Skywater 30 (up to 30 gallons of water each day) to Skywater 300 (up to 300 gallons of water a day)."

You are right we should be more skeptical though. Like how much energy does this thing use?
Thanks. Think those guys use a server?
Essentially, yes. The "green revolution" is an illusion and its effects cannot be sustained. We need to gradually back down to a place where humans can grow enough food for themselves without also poisoning themselves and without exhausting soil fertility.
It's hilarious to me that out of all the problems with the way MongoDB works it's the license, of all things, that gets a strong reaction from the HN crowd that says, "I'm never using that!"

Great to hear that Chris Taylor is working on a new RTS, but I wonder how it'll be received given that the RTS genre has seemingly been eviscerated, particularly by MOBAs. Even Starcraft 2 seems to be a niche title, even overshadowed by its predecessor -- which Blizzard opted to remaster. The only other RTS I've recently paid attention to is also a remaster: AOE2 HD.

From my narrow personal perspective, it's easy for me to understand why RTSes aren't popular -- I'm too old to have the time to master them. But I wonder why the genre has stagnated for the rest of the world -- is it because it's too complex? Or because the mechanics of other similar genres, like MOBAs, are inherently superior? With instant-gratification being the default mindset nowadays, the thought of spending 30 minutes building out a base only for it to be wiped out in 2 minutes of action does seem antiquated.

I agree, although I think the use cases for non-relational databases is overstated, but I view MongoDB as one of the most dangerous pieces of software I’ve had to touch. It demos great, but long term usage of MongoDB has been nothing but pain for me. Lost writes, all three nodes deciding the other is primary, crappy performance if you’re just outside of the indices, and extremely painful migrations all come to mind.

I really hate MongoDB. I’ve been burned by it consistently for the past half decade or so, across several companies, data sets, ops teams, and underlying hardware. I’ve just decided that fundamentally MongoDB doesn’t work.
I think the approach is a bit more novel than normal dehumidifiers. Instead of just collecting water dripping of the condenser coils, they use the cooler air to make a "rain chamber". The website talks about "maintaining a dew point within a condensation chamber".

> By the same token, very few immigrants are anything but innocent people looking to live and contribute to the American Dream, so there's no reason to preemptively exclude or bother them.

Ok. But we live in a country of laws and rules. If I knock over a bank and don't harm anyone- that's fine right? I'm just trying to provide for my family. The bank has insurance. If I don't report my taxes, it doesn't harm anyone. The government has enough money. Breaking the law doesn't harm anyone- right?

> Bad cops? It's just "a few bad apples" to handle case by case after the fact (and half-hardheartedly in most cases). Immigrant criminals? Well, better put up a wall and do "extreme vetting" before we let anyone through.

We're putting body cameras on cops to stop abuses. We put cameras in cop cars so we can make sure what they say happened happened.

If an Immigrant comes here without proper authorization, without a visa, or stays on an expired visa; they are breaking the law. They have no inherent right to immigrate here. Coming into any country is a courtesy extended by the government of that country. If Japan doesn't want to issue a visa for whatever reason, that is their right. You have no right to visit or move to Japan. If they wish to do "extreme vetting", that is their right.

Cops has no inherent right to become a cop. They have to be hired, trained, and maintain a standard. Sure, there are bad ones who are not punished for their actions- and yes that is a double standard that needs to be fixed.

> Immigrant criminals? Well, better put up a wall and do "extreme vetting" before we let anyone through.

The stupid idea of a wall is to stop people from breaking the law. As I said before, nobody has the right to immigrate to this country as they want. If they ignore our laws and do so anyway, they should be removed- as they broke the law.
