I can't wait for the final report of the IPBES, alias IPCC for Biodiversity. I've heard that the conclusions should be even direr than the IPCC's reports on climate change and will require more urgent actions than the one needed to limit/decrease CO2 emissions. When the media will start writing about it (there's a word for that: anthropocene), we'll realize that the two must be fight at once (and fast), and that we'll have to completely reinvent our industrial system in a few decades. IMO, no civilization has ever faced such a challenge, and this time, it isn't a country/empire/species at stake but the biosphere's. Buckle up !
Props to Ansgar Becker for maintaining this awesome SQL client pretty much by himself.

The main point of using a Raspberry Pi is for access to the GPIO pins and the built-in camera interface. As others have said, there are better alternatives if all you need is a server.

I rarely use the Toolbox (especially since I couldn't find a pre-built Toolbox for ARM processors). I'm happy with vim or emacs and I usually have a script (that also does some massaging on the PlusCal-generated code): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/ker...
"personalised suggestions" - well, I can see where this is going.

Basically, some algorithm will decide what we need to see. At first it will be based on our starred repos, history, stars of people with a matching profile - perhaps it may also be based on their linked-in profile and other pieces of telemetry.

We'll all get comfortable with this feed of information - some may be checking it multiple times per day/week.

Soon after that, when they're working on "OSS sustainability" (think $), project owners can pay<^W>ask for their projects to be "recommended" to us, as part of this feed.
We are (Numberly) running it in production indeed and our use cases keep on increasing!

For me the proper title of the article would be "std::unordered_set is slow and MSVC debug runtime is even slower", but I guess that wouldn't generate as many views as pretty much everyone knows it.
Car pools are "desired effects", maybe - for sure they aren't "realistic proposals".

There are no horrible side effects to "a healthier population"; however, the prohibition showed us that there may indeed be bad side-effects to banning alcohol consumption & distribution (which could be argued as a measure that leads to a healthier population).
It would be nice if he used a newer version of GCC and a newer base system in general, rather than the 2+ year old version of Ubuntu. I would also like to see % change as a column in those tables.

Also I'd like to see other optimization levels, since at least GCC adds a lot more potentially slow (to compile) optimizations at -O3. Maybe -ffast-math. Static linking too could conceivably make a difference if he calls into external libraries frequently.

And where does perf say the time is going? Maybe it's all lost in branches or cache misses so a different algorithm that branches less or uses denser data could help.

How about vectorization? I've now looked at the code and it's all vectors, arrays and matrices so surely this is an application for AVX, maybe even a GPU.

Anyway I think what's clear is this doesn't have much to do with C vs C++.
For underpriced stocks the correlation is more obvious.

I'm guilty of both, although my home connection is a 300/300 mbit fiber connection with a static IP. I make versioned backups locally and remote daily, just as i would from any VPS host.

The only reason i'm considering moving all the internet facing stuff to a VPS is to allow me to "relax" a bit, by minimizing the amount of public services/ports that can have potential exploits on my home network. I've tried to minimize the damage an attacker can make by using FreeBSD jails.

I already segregate the network traffic in LAN, DMZ, SERVERS, KIDS, IOT and GUESTS, with the only route being through the firewall for access to other VLANS, as well as not allowing traffic from certain VLANS onto others. I monitor logs religiously.

I'm guessing a VPS would probably allow me to sleep a bit easier at night, though i'd still have the same amount of maintenance work.
> It can buy more stuff; it can employ more people at similar salaries; it can give the owners more money.

Don't they also have to compete with other employers in the labor market for labor. How can they possibly keep paying the same salaries.
It's not in the interest of the marketplace actor, like Wag, to see negative reviews, so I would not be surprised if Leslie's rating was doctored somehow. For example with Uber I had a couple of bad experiences with the driver not picking me up but starting to charge me, and I had to settle for getting my money back but could not leave a review because technically I did not ride with the driver.

> unCaptcha is intended to be a proof of concept. As of the time of our paper, we found it to successfully solve reCaptcha's audio challenges with 85% success. Since that time, reCaptcha appears to include some additional protections that limit unCaptcha's success. We will not be maintaining this code to be an effective attack on reCaptcha.
I agree. The more I read about climate change, the more I realize it's only one part of the anthropocene - so I often end up mixing the two. Anyway, if you do have a source for the diminishing returns of energy use to produce food, please share!
For me it raises the question of weather it works with programs written in anything other than GO. My first thoughts were - hey I'm learning Rust and Flutter looks neat, will this allow me to use Flutter as a GUI for my rust apps? They say it's written in GO, so that must be relevant right? And it probably means it's meant for apps written in GO right?

It's an interesting line. I like the notion of apps I use being written in one of the more modern languages (GO or Rust) but it's not a core feature to a user. This means I can appreciate the language being mentioned but in a much less prominent way. If language isn't critical to a user or developer (of other things) IMO it shouldn't be so prominently mentioned.
There are solutions to this- driving through eastern Colorado and west Kansas you'll find many farmers using no-till techniques and planting winter cover-crops that create topsoil and increase soil quality. Farmers have a vested economic interest in keeping the soil productive.

Meanwhile from what I understand from talking with some friends in agricultural engineering in places like California where farmers expect to be pushed off their land eventually by rising land prices they are using destructive practices to extract as much as they can before they go defunct.

The USDA is offering incentives for good soil stewardship and the 2018 Farm Bill featured a number of soil health policies, such as restrictions on pesticides and a soil carbon pilot program: https://www.nrdc.org/experts/mae-wu/final-farm-bill-blossoms...

Also, while this is a wild hypothetical, a lot of uncritical celebrators of their dog's apparently human-like right to life and liberty seem overly willing to make the choice between (a) a hypothetical threat to their dog's continued liberty and (b) an unconscionable threat to the well-being of other people - kids, particularly - around them. Everyone who has a dog of some sort of 'questionable breed' who doesn't do everything in their power to socialize and control said breed is gambling with the lives of the animals, humans (kids and adults) around them. The demented sentimentalizing of All Sacred Canine Life has cost a few humans theirs instead.

> C++ is relatively fast but MSVC’s STL library’s debug performance is abysmal. It’s been like this since at least MSVC 2008 too. I’m not sure why Microsoft doesn’t think it’s a priority to improve.

If you want fast performance, you use a Release build. The purpose of a Debug build is that you can detect the source of as many bugs in your program as possible. So for Release build, it is a priority to improve performance (and in my opinion Microsoft did a good job). For the Debug build, it is a priority to improve the detectability of bugs in your program. Here also in my opinion Microsoft did a good job.
Not a big surprise that hand implemented data structures with domain specific optimizations are faster than generic standard library implementations.
I'm not aware of the specifics of the dark market, but from a marketing perspective selling something for cheap makes it easier to sell volume. Perhaps the guy who did the hack didn't want to go into the trouble of finding the one bidder who would give him top dollars, not to mention the dangers a contact like that might include. It's easier to find 1k buyers for $45 than one for $45k.
I see it in the vast majority of languages I’ve used, use, or consider using—Go, Elixir, Python, Ruby, you name it.

I don’t think it’s much of a trend. It seems a practical thing to do to ensure your project can be found by others—it helps when you want your <thing> to be found when someone searches for “<language> library for <thing>” or “do <thing> in <language>”. For Go specifically, it often may be mentioned alongside “cross-platform”, a signifier that you can use it for such work and, I think, also to help when people search for that term when looking to do <thing>.
I think you're right. Nobody lets themselves be worked into dust just so they could R&D in wider capacity.

It’s not “anti-professional-writing”, at least not in my case. It just seems like the message and focus itself has changed. It doesn’t seem like it would have been “on brand” two or three years ago. It seems to me to portend the vanilla-ification of GitHub.

I could be reading too much into it, but it reads to me as corporate-ese. Not because it’s polished and well-written, but because the subject matter seems on topic for GitHub but isn’t something a GitHubber seems they would have blogged about, historically. I may be off the mark but that was my first impression.
Javalin 2.6.0 released – Adds server-sent events support
Seems like few features:
1. sstables as different files
2. range delete (which is rare)

compared to LMDB (which is faster & more efficient):

Still would be nice to see how LMDB would fare in a complex distributed DBMS (most of them are in rocksdb-type libraries).

I interpret the title to mean, "Is standard usage of C++ language features and the STL competitive with C?". The author is basically showing how you improve performance by selectively tearing out more and more features C++ hands you out of the box. This is characteristic of writing C++ in a more C-like style. In that sense I think the author is correct.

However I'd also say this is something already well known by most C and, particularly, C++ developers. Yes, you can get better performance by reimplementing much of what C++ gives you, and that is typical of writing C code instead of C++. But there's a fair bit of productivity trade off in doing so.
You're not entirely wrong, but that's still a cynical point of view. Electric cars are a huge win over combustion and don't require us to rebuild the infrastructure of the entire world. Just saying "it won't save the world, so it sucks" is the wrong attitude. It's an improvement. And we're going to need a lot of improvements to add up while we work towards a moon shot solution that may not appear for 50 or 100 years.
How is the empire of Mr. Musk doing? First SpaceX is reducing expenses, now Tesla is doing the same. Keep wondering. (well done; keep flagging me, the issue will turn up, sooner or later).
I made an Elixir app[1] that worked on RPi and read various sensors, adjusted lighting and was driving some pumps with PWM. I was trying to grow some exotic plants and wanted to automate as much as possible. It was a fun project, the distributed nature of the language/OTP was really neat and when I bought the second Pi for monitoring the inside of a case it was very easy to hook it up with the former Pi and make it into one system.

Unfortunately, all the plants died after a while - mostly because I didn't finish all the features I wanted to write fast enough... - and I abandoned it. I've been considering doing a write up on it since then, but I'm not sure if that would be interesting to anyone other than me.

I wonder, would that count as creative? Maybe I should do the writeup after all (seeing as simply running some PHP on a few Pis got to the frontpage...)

This is akin to the Airbnb model: tap into people's inherent faculties to determine trust on good packaging ("host guarantee" etc), good branding that makes them look reputable, and good customer service (at least on the service) - but then not give a shit once you look a little bit below the surface, meanwhile building brand recognition and perceived value to exit early investors and founders via an IPO transferring risk to the general public.

Getting VC money and scaling/capturing market share for these businesses artificially seems to be the recipe, the bigger the network effects the better (for them).

Having wasted far too many hours of my life dealing with complicated installation procedures, particularly with projects written in C and C++, and a few interpreted languages, knowing what language a project is written in is a huge selling feature for me.

While this is a feature not strictly limited to Go, Go applications on the whole have been very easy to install, so it piques my interest when I can have some confidence that using it is just a simple command away.

Textual is open source https://github.com/Codeux-Software/Textual
For analytics workloads, your best bet is using compression techniques that let you do operations on the data without decompressing it. A good example is dictionary encoding a set of sorted string keys so you can preform prefix queries by doing a greater than and less than comparison on the integers instead of examining every string entirely.

Once you’ve encoded the data into large enough blocks, you could use any storage engine and write the encoded blocks into it along with metadata for managing which blocks are a part of what tables and partitions of tables.

You can also just use something like Parquet or ORC, but that’s not going to get you the best performance possible.
