‘Dog Suicide Bridge’: Why Do So Many Pets Keep Leaping into a Scottish Gorge?
Thanks! Sorry in Italian is "pensare a" (literally think to) so I always get confused :-) I'll try to remember.
To offer a slightly alternative perpective on this, I actually think this type of "article"/("listicle"/"tweetacle"?) can have negative effects. In my mind, it lends credence to the very toxic notion of "value of ideas" over "value of execution".

The former is something that has all sorts of knock-on effects: backward IP laws "protecting" ideas, perverse incentives within large corporations with outspoken "idea men" being promoted ahead of doers, non-technical founders with "high-potential ideas" sucking up investment and expecting to execute with technical hires on untested theories.

I'm not saying any of the above applies in this case of course, but the fact is that it is you who built Redis, not pg, nor many others who've had similar ideas, and I think writing the above tweet thread lends undue weight to many of above negative trends in our industry (and also in general in recorded history of IP/invention-credit battles).
Why is this kind of scum still allowed to exist? Every single thing that nasty company does is shady in some way or another. At this point it's not about honest mistakes or "we didn't know" - these guys are blatantly fighting the law in order to continue being shady (it's not about reducing their punishment for past crimes, it's trying to change the law in order to continue to commit crime). Most of society would consider it scandalous and offensive if a convicted murderer was trying to change the law to make murder legal, so why is this cancerous company given a pass?

Chomsky argued that the medium of television (this was in the pre-internet era) frames any discussion held within it on the outset, because, on it, noone can present an argument longer than 5 minutes, due to logistic reasons, which is insufficient for someone to form an adequate opinion about, and certainly insufficient to change someone's mind. In effect, he was saying that television was an echo chamber, because you'll just end up hearing what you like, all the debates being castrated of the ability to change your mind.

5 minutes. What is the twitter message character limit again?
Wow. Could you expound on why having a tech that targets satellites in space is "not important" and is merely "an election gimmick"?
The quality of the algorithm isn't the point.

Say the algorithm worked 100% perfectly, 100% of the time.

Joe believes the algorithm is engineered to answer his queries with facts. It's not.

It's engineered to show Joe what other people that think like Joe (based on profiling he is unaware of) have clicked on in the past, in the hopes Joe will click more and generate ad revenue.
Hanoi is actually not particularly hot. Summer temperatures rarely get much above the low 30s C (~ 90F). For most of the year it's a very pleasant climate for cycling.

As far as I can see, no private insurance would take me - it is a clear loss. Furthermore, it does not seem I would qualify for Medicaid nor Medicare (from reading the wikipedia article).
As for employment insurance - in the USA I would certainly not be employed except the company is uncharacteristically nice. Because in the USA, you can kick anyone out, especially someone who just spends months in the hospital. Or is that not true?
So how do you imagine I would be insured then?

Again, I have to ask because I don't know, but are you saying all the news reports of where exactly the above happens to people are fake?
There were many reports where people DID HAVE some insurance by their employers, but when it came to a long and expensive treatment, insurance refused to pay, or they lost their job very fast. Would you say these issues do not occur, or occur very infrequently?
Are the people on this board, who say they are afraid of losing their insurance coverage due to job-loss wrong?

If you propose that I get treated and the costs are written off, that still means I would have to declare bankruptcy and ruin my live further. Because it's not that I do not have any money, or minimal savings. It's just that the extend, complexity and length of the treatment leads to costs that can not be payed by a normal person, including pretty much any normal percentage of the costs.

And then, personally, I'd also doubt that I would actually receive that treatment if I can not pay. You say people you don't let die, but this is a multi-year treatment and it would be apparent after the first week that I can not pay for it.
There is a difference in long term health and survival by the quality and frequency of long term treatments over many years. Would a private, for business organization really do this for my benefit?
Like, experts would treat me for years in a top institution in the country, even though I pay nothing? Really? Or would they rather just do the minimum to get rid of any immediate danger and then release me?

And where do you see the advantage? Here, I still got the best treatment you could ask for (top experts, newest equipment, good facilities), and I was able to continue my life without being bankrupt.
There are, I am sure, numerous stories like this. I know of a case where discussions and votes were conducted using a shared yahoo mail account -- a bunch of folks would just log in and note their preferences in the draft email with subject "Vote for X". A single account, shared password (in theory one could erase/edit previous votes), but it worked just fine as the group was small and no one wanted to do mischief.

The flip side of this is that beyond a certain size such initial designs are a killer. And a company should monitor time sunk into maintaining such things, prioritize those that are most expensive and fix them as soon as it can afford to. And this is often done way too late, causing harm that can be impossible to repair. My 2c.
Which kinda worked until the press worked out that favouring contentious topics and maintaining two viewpoints was more profitable.

This very likely uses whois/IRR entries and some heuristics to make sense of them. Thus, it is more about which ISP an IP address block belongs to rather than who the physical end user is.

q3k@anathema ~ $ whois 185.236.240.1 | egrep '(address|org-name)'
org-name: Stowarzyszenie "Warszawski Hackerspace"
[...]
address: Warszawa

q3k@anathema ~ $ curl -s https://ip-api.io/json/185.236.240.1 | jq .organisation,.country_name
"Stowarzyszenie Warszawski Hackerspace"
"Poland"

However, this generally doesn't work for multinational ISPs that have blocks in different countries. For instance, take this Google IP address that I got when I spun up a VM in their Belgium DC:

q3k@anathema ~ $ curl -s https://ip-api.io/json/104.155.39.247 | jq .organisation,.country_name

> There are _plenty_ of people right here in the US who can't afford drugs because we insist that they should be 10x the price in the US than everywhere else.

The very article explains this isn't true, as drug price doesn't really correlate with R&D costs.

> There's also another negative side effect: due to what amounts to dumping, other countries essentially don't have any pharma research of their own

That's wrong, too. According to [0], U.S. pharma companies globally spent about 70 billions, of which about 11 billions were spent in Western Europe, so net amount was at most (assuming nothing was spent outside the US and Western Europe) 59 billion dollars.

By comparison, according to [1], R&D spend from national companies from Germany, Switzerland, UK and France were about 20 billion USD.

So the population adjusted R&D spend relation is lower than 1:2 between Western Europe and the US.

What about in addition to license suspension?

The suspension as punishment, the breathalyser as prevention of future incidents.

Yes that doesn't address the 'depending on your license' angle. but I'm not sure that should be a valid defence anyway?

> Mandatory vaccines are a violation of liberty.

They are not. Not vaccinating is a means of harming and killing people around you, which is not within boundaries of personal liberty. Theoretically, if you spent whole your life in wilderness far from other people, you could risk all diseases you want.

I strongly dislike this normalizing language of giving up some liberty "for greater good". All things that superficially look like this should be really either a defense of liberty or autonomy of others, or an exercise of collective political liberty of the people to shape the world around them. The latter is subject to political change if people change their minds, and still has to respect personal liberty as the primary aim of free society. We should not equate progress with imposing more and more restrictions that are supposedly objectively "good" in some abstract way, as determined by some people. This loosens the principles at best. Some people can reject them, but we should be clear when they do that.

You're still feeding into my point about whether or not you trust your fellow peers to be agents of esteem and clarity in an activity of citizen communal leadership (democracy). Do you have esteem for your peers?

If they can't get past this information judgment activity (Britney Spears isn't popular just because YouTube shows me), what happens when a more serious intellectual challenge comes along? Like Brexit?

> What happens when you stick a 32bit float into a 16bit float type in Ada? CONSTRAINT_ERROR. And this could happen at runtime, not compile time. It was Ada's inability to deal with unknown/incorrect inputs and deal with them in an effective way without crashing. This is not that much different than buffer overflows from unknown inputs in C, btw.

That's completely wrong. It was an integer overflow. One that could not happen on Ariane 4 but because of different hardware specs. But that was only the end of the chain of fails that lead to the crash.

Ada is of course completely able to handle such a problem. But the programmers evaluated this and consciously decided not to handle it for performance reason and because it shouldn't happen anyway. But it could happen, just only on the Ariane 5.

Sorry to be blunt but I don't think you know as much as you think you do. You should read up more on the incident. You could even read the post mortem report. It is available on the net.
1 Year median wow - they must lose lot of institutional knowledge that way.
I don't think they are that different, and I think youtube is also problematic in similar ways to facebook. But, this thread from the start was specifically talking about google search and its impact compared to facebook.

I also think there are differences (youtube has some value that isn't predicated entirely on being a social network), but the distinctions are debatable and opinions will vary.

Are there truly folks “above” money? I believe so.

But not a single one is or wants to be in the public light. Ever.

The same drive that lends someone to desire public attention, also drives the want of money.

So if there’s a public statement about “oh, I don’t care about money. I’m just going to give it all away.” I smell bullshit. Sounds more like trying to gain sympathy purchases.

Nothing against dwarf fortress or these guys. But I’m sick of the tech high and mighty bullshit that everyone’s good saints with no desire of money. The more someone says they’re good little Boy Scouts, the more dirty they are.
Exactly my thinking. And the context wraps the view call and therefore the whole transaction.
While I think MongoDB is deserving of a lot of the criticism it receives I think the bigger issue is with those who adopt it without a full understanding of their data and the use cases they might need to implement. There are countless stories now from people who assumed their data wasn't relational only to discover much later on that the opposite was true. There are cases where a document oriented datastore could be the way to go but everything I've read seems to suggest that they're in a minority.
No, countries don't have ranges allocated to them. RIRs (ARIN, RIPE, AFNIC, APNIC) do, and then they distribute those blocks to LIRs (ISPs) in their coverage area. However, now with IPv4 block exhaustion, it's common to port old PI v4 address space across RIRs, or for RIRs to donate blocks to eachother, so there isn't any guarantee about address mapping to continents even.

You can always use `whois` on an IP address from a command line to get all the public records about it that you need. This will have information about the RIR, LIR, and potentially end-user of the block.

It does, but not in this case.

Rockland county is home to a large ultra-conservative religious community that is extremely insular and uses local scale to control the civil institutions of their local government.

It's a matter of interpretation. IMHO the tweet shows how valuable Hacker News itself is, not Paul Graham ideas (but then HN was created by PG, so, yep, also gives credits). If you take a number of people that are good at doing things and put them together, this will result in more things created because of a natural process of ideas exchanges / triggering. I'm a example of a very isolated programmer, so this applies especially to folks in my condition, but at this point I guess there are quite a bit of "us".
knowl·edge
/ˈnäləj/
noun
noun: knowledge; plural noun: knowledges

1. facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

2. awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.

Speaking of knowledge, you seem to be strangely unable to recognize the limitations of yours, even when a thread is full of people discussing things of which you are utterly ignorant. And I choose the word ignorant deliberately - you don't just lack knowledge, you choose to ignore that which is inconsistent with your existing knowledge, at least on this topic.

Of course, there is a very simple solution to this, but for reasons I doubt you are interested in, you will likely choose to remain in your current state, which is well within your rights.

There's no reason you can't use MongoDB with relational data.

Traits are not implementations, just interfaces. There won't be an implementation of one in std, just the interface, so that the ecosystem can interoperate.

At the moment, I think Tokio is pretty great. I wish that there was more development bandwidth to help test out some cutting-edge stuff, but I think the design is sound.

It really depends, Tokio is the most popular at the moment. This is because most of the new ecosystem is built around these new, unstable interfaces. Tokio currently runs on the older, not in the standard library one. It's all a bit confusing at the moment, to be honest.

I don't think the document addresses key issues with Mongo: Poor technical implementation.

There are countless stories of odd performance issues, occasional data loss, and similar.

postgresql can handle JSON documents with none of that and better performance. If you're not doing a lot of relational work, relational databases shard really nicely for arbitrary scalability. etc.

I love the concept of Mongo, but when I used it, I found it unusable. I switched back to relational databases as well as S3. On the whole, it just works better.
This is both entertainment and information, so to justify it I'll ask a question about this:

That ruling is from February 2018 -- so we're already past the 400 days on that ruling. If it stands, Facebook is looking at a 100 million euro fine already. That's probably motivation enough to spend some money to fight it.

That said, I hope two things will happen:

- Facebook continues to ignore the ruling, and thus continues racking up the fine.

- The ruling stands all the way to the highest court.

Most of this counterpoint seems to revolve around the third-party library Mongoose.

I'm not that deeply familiar with MongoDB first-hand. Is Mongoose something you can bring to bear as a plugin on the database server? Or is it strictly a client application library?

Because to analogize to relational databases:

* If you cite PL/SQL, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL, etc as solutions for SQL's shortcomings, then you have a point.

* But if you point to JPA/Hibernate, Entity Framework, SQLAlchemy, or just raw hand-rolled application-tier logic, then that's no counterpoint at all. Because it means that only one client can safely use the database, and that assumption breaks down in the real world beyond the toy proof-of-concept stage.

Your starting perspective governs the search term. I'm confident vaccines are safe overall - so I'll search for "are vaccines safe?" (positive connotation). Someone who believes that vaccines are causing brain damage has already formed a contrary opinion, so in all likelihood would be expected to search for "vaccines cause autism" (negative connotation). The question is the same, but it's been presented differently, and Google will respond to the question asked.

Believe it or not, I'm not actually blaming Google for this. In essence, it's still trying to answer the question asked, but I think we need to seriously reassess what the heck we're doing and maybe launch public awareness campaigns about how this all works at a fundamental level.

Checkstyle is a must for any project with more than 1 developer (or even with 1).

Findbugs/spotbugs maven/gradle plugins are nice, but require a little bit of tuning to eliminate false positives. Nothing near the amount of tuning or upkeep a Sonar instance requires though.

Use @Nullable, @Nonnull, @ParametersAreNonNullByDefault annotations. I prefer "non-null by default" via a package-level annotation from @ParametersAreNonNullByDefault and using @Nullable where appropriate.
