I'm much less worried about nukes than about climate change tbh. Looking at the big picture, they basically cap the extent of humanity's madness, presumably before it's possible to trigger a Venusification of the planet and just sterilize it outright (i.e. thermal equilibrium at ~120 degree Celsius).

fmt should only print, not manipulate the data it is asked to print.

I believe that the spec says that maps iterate over keys effectively at random and so that should be the result of any operation that iterates over keys.
I would have preferred "aerial view" or even "bird mode" as well, but I think the negative impact of calling it "satellite view" is somewhat overstated here. It's not as if without Google Maps the general public would be much better informed about the limitations of satellite footage: spy thrillers and Hollywood have a long history of dramatizing their capabilities.
I can only speak for myself, but I was and am a Microsoft hater. I bought and play-tested VB, decided it was garbage and never used it again. Delphi allowed me to "do" Windows GUIs elegantly, without all that Petzold garbage and the many limitations of VB. I also loved Delphi 1 for its world-class truly useful help files.

I enjoyed Delphi's performance and recommended it to a customer for that reason, but my own primary motivation was to avoid the terminally cumbersome Windows API.

Yes, I didn't say they don't say "ions". :-) They have those bedside-table machines that make them. Probably not many New Agers know ions have anything to do with electrons. It's a strange combination of reverence for science (any new age book written by a PhD sells better) and contempt for and ignorance of it. I read some description of New Thought's students (19th C movement very like New Age) as people who had never been known before to be students of anything. Suddenly here's a Royal Road to the secrets of the universe, and those scientists are all too close-minded to listen...
Meh.

If you're using GA to prove your site's worth, e.g. in some M&A deal, this is useless - your proxying means that you can fudge numbers and thus is no better than anything else you say. (This is a significant use case among looking-for-exit startups).

If you're using GA to get insight about your website, it would be somewhat useful, but not really - because GA would not be able to correlate the cookies to figure out the demographics, etc (and I don't know how much it would trust Via / Proxy-for headers, so other statistics it gives you are also limited).

Also, if you have non trivial traction, you're going to get flagged by their fraud filters.

Time is not homogeneous accross the universe anyway, so what would be the absolute referential ? Best we can do is pick an arbitrary one, and then create algos and tables to convert from that.

We already do that with UTC, and even with something that simple, it gets hard: politics gets in play, and we have to reajust our time slices with leap periods regularly.

> I also explored the good old automounter[1][2], but it has a lot of the limitations that systemd's does. It does have the advantage of supporting host maps, which gets me a bit closer to what I'm looking for. The unfortunate thing that remains is that this is NFS instead of a modern protocol.

What limitations affect you?

(At home, I have linux running on an HP MicroServer as my NAS, it exports filessytems via NFS. Other machines run autofs with the hosts map, so for example my wife's desktop - and mine for that matter - auto-mounts NFS shares on-demand and she can open any file directly in any application by accessing /net/$hostname/$path).

NFSv4 is pretty modern ...

I believe this should also work for CIFS, if the server-side supports unix extensions (to do user mapping on a single connection), but I haven't had time to try it in the past day in my limited time at home.

> Authentication becomes a problem since the automounter probably can't ask the user for a password, and may not even know which user is requesting the mount.

If you have Kerberos setup, NFSv4 does the right thing ...

If you don't have Kerberos setup, then you're probably ok with just normal NFS user mapping.

> Network transparency is another thing that suffers from this. On Windows, you can basically use a UNC path (\\server\share\path\to\file.txt) almost anywhere because the entire system from the file picker all the way down to the file APIs knows about UNC paths. In Linux, KDE apps do this one way, GNOME apps do it a different way, and command line tools need you to somehow mount the target server before you can even think about it. I last seriously used Windows about 14 years ago and I still miss this greatly.

I just use NFS and autofs. Sure, it's a few seconds more effort to set it up, but it's a once-off cost.
We use C++ (17) to program an embedded POWER processor with 16kB of scratch pad memory and a custom vector extension. The compile time features of c++ alone (templates, constexpr) and lambda, namespaces, typed enums alone make it much safer and better than C.

I'm personally not a vegetarian, more of a "reduced meat omnivore", and I am a big fan of all kinds of hummus, this weekend I made butterbean mash made with garlic/thyme-infused oil, and muhammara on top: http://iamafoodblog.com/ottolenghis-muhammararoasted-red-pep...

It's inexpensive, easy, filling, healthy and tasty as all get-out.

Along with pan-fried mushrooms and onions mixed with bulgur (also an Ottolenghi recipe), it was extremely satisfying.

It's a major problem that we are now eating the equivalent of the sunday roast every single day. We should go back to making big cuts of meat a rare treat, and make most days meat-free.

I also agree that individual action won't change much by itself, but we should still do it, and work to hold corporations responsible for their environmental conduct.
People often greatly underestimate the performance loss incurred by separating the storage layer from the execution layer. The difference is an integer factor. In a high-performance database design, the execution scheduling behavior must be tightly and intricately coupled to the I/O operation scheduling behavior or you lose much low-hanging throughput optimization.

That said, this can be solved by changing the level of abstraction. If you tightly coupled the execution and storage engine as a single module, which is not intrinsically dependent on the type of data model, it would allow high-performance multi-use within reasonable constraints. Albeit with a very different API than a storage engine. But that is not a thing that exists in open source AFAIK.

The loss from separating storage and execution may not matter for databases where operational efficiency is not paramount (e.g. because the scale is too small for it to matter) but many database engine designers are not going to take that use case limiting performance hit because the CapEx/OpEx implications are large.
Ask HN: Firefox users, how do you backup your stuff?

I can relate to what you are going through. Depression sucks. And not everybody can understand what it feels like.

I was in a situation where depression messed up my career and I had to open up. But what helped me was opening up to people who are not very close. There was no fear of judgement and they were also going out of the way to help out. There were so many who reached out to offer help. While it did not improve my personal situation, it did provide me the hope when I needed it badly. And over time, the situation gets better.

Also when I started looking at my depression as an illness rather than a reflection on myself, it made things slightly better.

Would suggest you to hang in there. Please talk to folks who have reached out in this forum and outside, support groups.

Maybe reaching out to old employers, ex-colleagues, taking up part time or related work might open some doors till you can get things right.

Please know that situations do get better, you have held up so far and give it some more time. When in doubt, think of the days prior to the illness, it will help you to bounce back.

I've often felt like an alien anthropologist in conversations. Even if I was aware of the game and saw what's going on, I wasn't part of it. I needed an extra processing step that made me always too late to say the right thing.

I'm suddenly wondering if my problem might be related to my youngest son's speech problem. When he was 3, he couldn't speak sentences; his sentences were just 3 meaningful words in a row. He never babbled, unlike his best friend, who always babbled in long, incoherent Trumpian sentences. He got special speech therapy for half a year which helped immensely, and now, at 4, he makes excellent sentences, if a bit staccato and clumsy, and certainly without any kind of natural flow.

He never babbles, though. I think his Markov chain is broken and he replaced it with an rule based system that he reworked to produce language.

Please explain how Java “failed so badly”?
It’s a question of perspective and what exactly you show and write about.

In the “Ballad” Native Americans really are just dangerous and savage boogeyman, a mere threat like a tiger in the jungle. We do not at all get to see their side and motivations. There is no attempt made to create empathy.

I think sometimes that approach is totally fine! A film like “Dunkirk” really doesn’t have to show me the inner life and motivations of the Nazis. They can be the ominous boogeyman beyond the horizon, never clearly shown but always present as a clear threat. There is no need to create empathy, because prejudice against Nazis and those who idolize them is not really a problem at all.

With Native Americans, however, such depictions were (and are?) the norm and that’s really totally unreasonable and not at all understandable. That’s the problem here.

I hope this illustratest sufficiently well that perspective and what exactly you show is important. I make no claim that this is easy to figure out, but you do make it yourself a little to easy, expecially when you invoke things outside the text. I don’t think you can really do this, not to the extent you just did that.

Maybe if we see someone in a film who is clearly identifiable as Jewish in a film killing an SS officer without any further context there is enough foreknowledge there among everyone that you really wouldn’t have to provide any further context within the text to make the motive clear.

With Native Americans I do not at all feel as though we are at that point.

> What worries you about the 100K number and what would a better number be?

I can't imagine the point.

The whole architecture just sounds ridiculous.

> Alternatively it's 100 servers with a connection pool of 1,000 each. 100 app servers isn't excessive and if you're doing less than 10K concurrent on each of them then there's other profiling opportunities to be had there.

Even 100 app servers is stupid. 4 second response time is stupid. Just build two big ones. I can handle (low) tens of trillions of queries per day on a single box (low µs response time, pipelined) -- and the only reason I even need two is because one might die for uncontrollable hardware reasons.

The only reason I ever buy more servers than two is because I want geographic diversity, and I can cover the world with ads with around 10 pops. I can't imagine having 100k pops sending MySQL queries to a single place.

So yeah: I would really want to hear the use-case here.

One time I met a company who insisted they were sending tens of TB of data per day and would need multi-PB per year storage compressed. Took one look at the data: All json, all GUIDS and bools. If we just pre-parse it, the entire dataset for a year fits in a few 100s GB uncompressed -- literally could fit on a macbook air for most of the year. Absolutely insane the kind of build-out people do to "win" at numbers that don't matter...

First thoughts were that this was handled by Prompt Toolkit, but it's actually a slightly different case to the auto complete which that one offers:

Might be useful to handle deactivated choices (ie greyed out).

It looks like it handles multi choice (with the check feature), but can it do validation upon a check being selected or does it need to wait until the user has made their choice? Am thinking for catching invalid combinations.
When the article says:-

> The only thing about Linux I never really like is the package system.

I think you just haven't used it enough to understand the advantages. If you don't need the lastest-and-greatest released last week versions, the package system is much more efficient that individually downloading hundreds of packages.

While Mac OS X has homebrew, it is still deficient in my opinion compared to most distros (because casks don't get upgraded by default).

> Like if you want to install a new software, you usually don’t get .exe or .dmg.

Why would I want either? Both have lots of issues. For example, by default:
* No auto-update
* Duplication of libraries and other files I already have
* Spotty updates (e.g. who can be sure whether all libraries used have been patched by the latest version you have)?

> If you are lucky, the developer or some fans took the time to package it.

This is the case for > 99% of the software I use, even obscure stuff. For the other < 1%, I package it for the distro I use, and submit it so it is available by default in future releases.

These days, many popular packages also provide .appimage files (similar to .app files on Mac OS X) or publish Flatpak's (including Slack, Spotify, VS Code, Skype etc. etc.), and these can be used on any recent distro.

> Then you can do ‘apt-get’ ‘yum’ or ‘pacman’. However, packages got stalled and sometimes don’t match the original author intent.

Sometimes the original author doesn't know best ... in most cases packagers upstream their changes or discuss them with upstream.

> You can also build from sources, but it takes time and you have to know a bit of CLI. It never felt true freedom to me. But more like whatever the community feels make sense for whatever distribution weird dictactorship. Just a feeling and I still love and support Linux.
