It's always hard to convince an addict of practicing anything vs. their addiction. This is an entirely different issue in my opinion.

Explaining it is easy, these folks generally understand, it simply doesn't matter because they're hooked.

This situation is pervasive, it's no different than people being addicted to activities unnecessarily burning fossil fuels, despite their rational understanding of how it's slowly ruining their habitat.

Well, we're kind of comparing MongoDB of ~2011 (when The Guardian started using them) with Postgres of today.

One major change is that in 2010 you couldn't always run your whole DB in RAM, so there were some real performance benefits with MongoDB.

Another difference is that MongoDB was early with great JSON-support. Something that Postgres has since gained.

I think there are pros and cons with both. If I'd chose one today, for most tasks I'd probably chose Postgres.

That said, to understand why people made those choices, you need to 'teleport back' to that time and compare them in that year (given the tradeoffs at that time).

I'm not sure your "virtual BDFL" works.

If it did, a virtual BDFL would have been able to stop the whole systemd vote from happening, declare that systemd would be the default going forward, and require that some number of developers come forward to take maintainership of alternate init system if init decoupling were to be a requirement in Debian. And Debian depends on a human WoT anyway. So a reasonable amount of developers saying, "Ok, we'll make sure everything can work on multiple init systems going forward," would be enough. And if that turned out to be untenable, they could make a different decision down the road.

But that couldn't have happened because it would have gone against the democratic spirit of Debian.

Compare to what Linus did with the pull request for kdbus. He said he trusted his maintainer who did the request, but also pointed out the amount of work and problems that could come from maintaining it. Maintainers argued, but ultimately it was the maintainers who retained agency and who ultimately maintained a sense of trust among each other.

Now imagine if instead there had been a vote of Linux users/foundation members/whatever to decide whether to include kdbus. Linux would have bled developers regardless of the outcome. Because that model of governance would have given them less agency to make decisions about the direction of the project.
It's interesting how space research technology works, right now we can detect planets around distant stars many light years away but we are still unable to detect a planet several times larger than earth that is likely orbiting our own sun.

I wonder if it's possible to send a probe out beyond the orbit of Neptune and try and detect planet 9 using gravitational lensing the way we do with planets in other solar systems.
What UX team?

Their Harmony software is atrocious. It feels like a badly designed flash application.

G Hub is broken as hell. LGS is kind of OK but not going to win any UX awards.

This was borrowed straight from Django's process; our technical board gets re-elected every release cycle.

It's a pretty low-traffic and low-turnover group in Django. I've done it four releases in a row, for example. When there's only one feature release in most years, it's not an issue at all to do a quick call for volunteers. In Django's case, often there's not a real need for an "election" since you only get as many volunteers as there are spots on the technical board.
It was thought of, and built, in the past [1]. Most infrastructure-scale systems were abandoned for cost, maintenance, and operational reasons. And this was back when urban areas were more compact relative to their population, and not in an age like today when sprawling networks of government-subsidized, high-quality roadways reaching from an urban core far out into low-density areas are available for all to use for minimal cost.

Surprise DNA Results Are Turning Customer-Service Reps into Therapists
I was too young to really keep abreast of the Microsoft anti-trust lawsuit, but I've never seen a technology company come under so much sustained pressure than Facebook over the past 18 months.

The New York Times in particular has definitely made it a mission to air out all of Facebook's dirty laundry. Overall, I don't think that this will result in users becoming more concerned about privacy (although their governments may) but it does seem like Facebook from a product perspective is vulnerable, even considering the amazing backstops that are Instagram and WhatsApp.
Can confirm that a random corner store in Tuscany still yeilds good espresso, and I am still surprised by it. But that must be because Italians demand good espresso and everyone in Italy knows what good espresso tastes like.

open-air farming is harder to handle. I grew up a few miles away from a pig farm, and late august was unavoidably...special. You get used to it, but the first hot end of summer day was a salient experience.
I'm curious to know this as well. I always assumed it was to do with comparatively sparse population, good visibility, lack of 'old' infrastructure, lack of weather incidents (rain/snow/etc).
I couldn't agree more. During daytime in Germany they had the top three slots on their front page covered with stories about Relotius. "Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste" taken by heart.

I only read half of the top story which has more than 6500 words. Most of it is written in a style as if it was breaking news about Relotius and not about DER SPIEGEL. They are almost self-congratulatory that they caught a fraudster.

Where there is a hint of self-criticism they don't fail to shrug it off with lame excuses:

> DER SPIEGEL will appoint a commission [...] to avoid that this will happen again. It cannot be avoided, even with the best of intentions. Journalism is, like everything else, to borrow a word from Heinrich von Kleist, subject to the "frailness of the world". And the human being who is engaged in journalism will always be and remain fallible. [1]

Yes, the "frailness of the world" is to blame. Got it.

Und auch der Mensch, der Journalismus treibt, wird immer fehlbar sein und bleiben.
The single-cup brew is what sold it I think. Coffee machines were already just as fast and familiar, with fast cleanup, but programmatically brew a whole pot. You could achieve the same single cup convenience with a filter using pour-over or clever-dripper.
Downvoters, would you explain? I didn't think this was a controversial opinion: Mongo is now under a license that is not listed as Open Source, as defined at https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

If you care about using FOSS - as many companies do - MongoDB is no longer open for consideration.
While we are here. I know HN hates mongo.

But lemme ask this question, what are the things in which mongo is better than postgres?

Don't worry. Experience from Washington and Colorado shows that over time smokers move to vaping and concentrate because it's vastly more convenient than carrying a bunch of plant matter around.

The vape cartridges and the concentrate wax are essentially scent-free. Certainly less smelly than nicotine and recreational non-drug vapes.

Industrial production will move out into the country as with any agricultural or livestock production that has a smell and you'll never notice it. The shit smell of a beef ranch dwarfs any odor you'll ever get from a pot production facility.

Take that up with the millions of people buying them. I do my own pour-overs in the morning.

I just find it endlessly fascinating to watch people extrapolate from their personal preferences, in the face of a demonstrably valuable (in the "it has value to someone" sense — because people are buying the things, which, in a capitalist system is definitive of "having value") to "There's no justification ... at all".

In addition to negative rates, the US gave out money in every way they could, including "helicopter" money - just sending everyone a check. And they did it quickly with immediate impact.

Europe let the crises drag on for years, with questions about whether Greece, Portgual and Ireland would even stay in the euro. 0% now is much too little, far too late.

Yes add to the fact that most of what we attempt to recycle ends up at the dump. Compost, where the alternative exists, is a better route.
Some orgs have requirements for using encryption in transit for everything.
There are 100 million non autonomous cars which do get vandalized, damaged, destroyed, and salvaged, but not at a rate which has obviated the concept.

I would give you very long odds that no one at MC had a clue who I was before this story showed up on the front page of HN. My mailing list is very small (it's a very niche product) and I hardly use the MC account (which was the problem to begin with). I'm sure I just got caught in their process. I'm equally sure that their process was designed to thwart abuse, which is surely a major problem for them. (In fact, it surely the major problem for them!) But it just seems to me that they just didn't think it through. This whole unfortunate situation could have been avoided with a single automated email drawing my attention to the fact that my account was about to be closed for inactivity.

The git repo itself is the easy part. You just make a local clone with two remote repos, pull from one, and push to the other. The hard part is all the parts that aren't managed by git, the issue tracker, PRs, releases, etc.
How to Become a Rust Super-Developer

With a GIN index and a JSONB column you can index the entire json document. It's the same index type as Postgres uses for the full text search, but not super efficient. You can also project out specific subsets of the document to an index and Postgres will use them.
Requiring you to be a developer to do automation is not a sustainable strategy. Ansible is a better fit for non-developers to do automation, which helps drive adoption

And since it's agentless you can automate almost anything... As mentioned above - the playbooks created by the community avoids you from reinventing the wheel. Companies like Cisco are writing playbook to automate their switches

Not for nothing, but why can’t the Fed just keep the base interest rates low forever? Inflation doesn’t seem to go up very much at all. It seems almost as if the FED by raising interest rates creates the very credit crunch that it later helps alleviate. Has anyone run models of what happens if the Fed just keeps the interest rates low forever and lets the market price each loan?

They don't even know the alternatives exist. Marketing is king.

You're misinterpreting the point. It's not quibbling over whether the customer values the product, that's self-evident. It's "not justifiable" in the ethical sense in light of environmental impact and the alternatives available. People just don't know.
I have little sympathy for any Microsfot product that gets bullied in this manner. Christ, this has all the oldie hits of microsoft:

- embrace and extend standards
- secret apis
- advocate for standards, then drop them for proprietary ones
- perform hidden changes that make competitors look bad
- then tout your advantages loudly

The only thing missing is outright paying people to not support your competitors.

Firefox, however, I feel bad for. Nerd advocacy was partially responsible for Chrome's rise to popularity, but the time has come to advocate for Firefox.
The cigarettes usage dropped after we did something about it, so why are you against of informing parents and children about the reality, what I think we should investigate as a possible action:

1 write all the downsides on the packaging similar as for cigarettes

2 do not allow products that target children, I am referring to products with bright colors and candy aromas etc

I believe that the society can do a difference, it is true that some kids will use drugs, alcohol but those will usually have a problem at home, what we need to stop is having regular kids using e-cigarettes because they think are safe and cool.

Because Der Spiegel publishes primarily in German, it was hard to even find the articles that Relotius wrote, even though DS says the articles will remain as-is until the conclusion of their investigation.

I did find on Twitter someone from Fergus Fall, MN, blogging a response to a feature story by Relotius, a story purportedly about Trump's America. The list of complaints seems quite convincing:

https://medium.com/@micheleanderson/der-spiegel-journalist-m...

An example of an allegedly-fabricated fact:

> Perhaps the oddest fiction in a list of many is Relotius’ depiction of Bremseth as someone who “would like to marry soon…but he has not yet been in a serious relationship with a woman. He has also never been to the ocean.”

> We can attest that Bremseth has indeed been to the ocean, by his account, “many times” and is currently happily involved in a multi-year, cohabitational relationship with a woman named Amanda. In fact, here’s a picture of the two of them in front of, all things, an ocean.

One theory I have is due to the prevalence of smoking back then. Nicotine is great for appetite suppression.
> Being fit is not going to change some of the most unpleasant things in a lot of people's lives. A commute is still a commute. A bereavement is still a bereavement. A boring job is still a boring job. Debts are still debts etc etc.

It changes your baseline level of comfort and happiness, every single one of these things is less unpleasant than it would be otherwise.

The same way that Spotify doesn't just ham-fistedly show you all your Facebook messages... and other apps don't show you messages intended for Spotify.

Presumably messages are tagged in such a way that the source and/or destination are intended for Spotify. Using that same system, you should be able to specify "Spotify can only read & write Spotify messages."
This and no hills... which means you have lots of options for routes, because everything's on a damn near perfect grid. Which also makes most of the situations the car encounters much simpler. No strange 5 way stops, no angled or offset intersections. Not even any curves to have to navigate. More opportunity to make 3 rights instead of a left, which these cars seem to be struggling at.
Just because someone is a dick to you doesn't mean that you should be a dick back. Especially when you have no leverage.

There are a number of different authentication schemas with varying levels of privilege. The best practice is always to give the smallest subset of privilege necessary to accomplish whatever task is needed.

Roger Penrose basically suggests what you say in "The Emperor's New Mind". Roughly, it says that the brain (likely, according to him) uses quantum computation, and so we can't make an AI out of a classical computer.

The practical flaw with this argument, of course, is that you could instead make an AI that itself uses quantum computation. I asked Roger Penrose about this at a university philosophy meetup over 20 years ago, and he agreed.

Likewise, if there is some kind of halting oracle, perhaps we can work out how the brain creates and connects to that oracle, and make our AI do the same.

Meanwhile, there is no physiological or computational evidence for this possibility. We should keep hunting though, as that's the same thing as understanding the detail of how the brain works!
Is it really 100% open hardware? Did they release the design files yet? They did release them for older Turris products and placed them under Cern OHL [1], but last time I checked they did not do so for the Turris Omnia [2].

There's no mention of"healthy at any size" in the article and no mentions of "fat", "obesity", or "overweight."
