> Say for instance we have one query that finds eligible bachelors near me and another that finds newly eligible bachelors. We need two queries but they both rely on the same underlying domain concept of "eligible bachelors". [...] It's hard to do that in sql in a maintainable way.

Seems a textbook case of using a view for sharing query logic.

> If I decide to change a datetime field called time to split it into a datetime and offset that change is far safer in c# than it is SQL.

If you can do it in C# instead of SQL, you must be talking about a change in the interface used by an app (so, with good DB design, a view, not a base table). But this is very safe in SQL, you are changing a view definition and, if its a read/write view, insert and update triggers.

Creating & improving that model is the competitive advantage. It's like saying what is the competitive advantage of compiled executables that run on customer devices. I estimate it's copywriteable.
We haven't really found it to be the case that the system is slower with ZFS. As the sibling mentions, you are trading some CPU for better I/O. We usually see better insert performance and similar/better query latency.

Not to mention that it often comes with a grippy coating that prevents the phone from sliding out of your hand.

Oh, and not to mention the fact that everyone needs to put a plastic or rubber case on their metal or glass phone, so not only do people not get to see their "premium" materials on a day-to-day basis but also it's now significantly blown up in size.
No, it's not easy. I have a Flash based app I can't get out of using. Every day. Every day I have to tell Chrome to allow the app to run Flash. When I close the browser and reopen it, I need to tell tell Flash to "always" use Flash.

Chrome's definition of "always" is very different to everyone else's. And that's on purpose. But I have no say in what corporate app I can use, and I have no way of getting it migrated quickly. The Chrome devs seem actively hostile to the poor slob who must us the corporate app and have no way of migrating away from it.

> ORM's are easy but not simple.

ORM libraries may not be simple, but what matters is the code that uses them.

My experience was that the main code was often easier and simpler. Easier because small tasks are made easy. Simpler because it makes the code more consistent: for instance, once you know the ORM, you don't have to deal with hundreds of specific cases that insert or update various records.

Promoting stored procedures as an alternative to the complexity of an ORM seems strange to me. They still have to be carefully written like any raw SQL. There is no canonical way to keep them in sync with the code. They are vendor-specific. As far as I know, you need to learn specific tools to debug them or to analyze their performance.
I have spent enough of my life untangling a mess of views that create performance problems to doubt that views are maintainable.

Also, there is usually no good solution for keeping the database in sync with code releases. With the result that database+code change synchronization tends to be a source of deployment complexity.

Keeping the logic in one place is better than the alternative. And of the two, the tools to manage source control are better.
Yes, exactly. I was hoping my quotes helped clarify that but I can see how it's unclear...

> but you need to blame GPL 3 for that rather than Apple

Do you? I am not trying to be snide here, but WSL seems to show that you can effectively include GPL3 userland in a proprietary system. WSL provides full interoperability with the native Windows system and NTFS filesystem on Windows 10. The next version will even include the Linux kernel.

If Microsoft can ship an experience as part of the OS that includes these applications in userland, why can Apple not?

> But 8-9 hours of sleep nightly - my guess would be that people who get only 7 hours of sleep tend to be more successful, have jobs and families, and access to health care. Whereas those sleeping 10 hours a night are less likely to have the income to get health care when necessary.

I'd hope that such studies on sleep control for income, employment, education and what not.
That's what I was getting at with "reasonably large population". You're right that for a rare disease 10000 is not enough to make standard deviation work. But when you're talking about "cancer", all of it, it's much more than you need for very strong statistical significance.

The telemetry on Windows is anonymous unless opt-in (to various Insiders groups), and while it is more steps to opt-out that's because it is more granular, which is a strongly beneficial middle ground if you wish to pick and choose which telemetry you'd like to provide (so as to impact product decisions of products you trust).

macOS and iOS have as many in-box first, second, and third party apps in the out-of-box experience as Windows 10, have similar "advertisements" of suggested apps in the app store and search (Siri suggestions), areas which are similarly "core OS experience". Everything is far more alike than it is different between Apple's operating systems and Windows right now, even if you don't see it.
I think this looks like a better deal when you compare it to the flagships but you have to remember that flagship prices have been exploding and midrange has thriving competition.

For $280, right this second, you can buy a Pocophone F1 from Amazon which has essentially the same size screen as the Pixel 3 XL, 6GB RAM, an SD845, an SD card slot and decent support from Xiaomi so far. Hell, the beastly Razer Phone 2 is only $499 right now and has some crazy specs relative to the 3a XL.

I know I'm dreaming but Google needs to get back to what made it great in the first place: Put flagship specs into midrange priced phones.

I tend to favor Apple over Google, and am more inclined to use Apple hardware than any Google/Pixel hardware, and I have no devices that have always-on mics (aside from my iPhone), but...

Apple News is already less usable and readable because of Apple's included ad layers.

Apple's ad business isn't a sizable fraction of Google's, but Apple's direction is plenty ad-oriented, so this old canard will probably need to drop by the wayside at some point. It's not entirely meaningful.
I agree. I bought a little relay board a few years ago to get started on a project for controlling line voltage, but then I started to think:

- Will the board short if it happens to collect moisture, oil, dust, or lint? What if a bug is attracted to it? Will I even monitor the condition of the board?

- Will the traces and relays heat up if I accidentally draw too much current through them? Will they degrade over time?

- Is there a chance that vibration could loosen the board and make unintentional connections?

I decided I probably could never answer these questions well enough to satisfy an insurance company. It doesn't matter that I have plenty of experience with line voltage; what matters is that I am not a licensed electrician. Therefore, at home, I only experiment with low voltage and low current, delegating all line voltage to UL listed devices.
I don't think that's true. The money is not destroyed, it is instead transferred to the government and can be used for various purposes.

Of course you could argue that the government could theoretically decide to arbitraly print money so any money that goes to the government is actually not worth anything but since the fed operates independently this is just not true.

It seems that it's not scaling out well at all as Apple products become more popular. It is definitely annoying how all of the appointment slots are constantly filled, which indicates that demand exceeds supply. However, at my local Apple store they check you in and then text you when they are ready so you don't have to wait in the store.

Bizarrely they didn't do this when I bought a phone, and instead made a bunch of us wait outside in the sun for 90 minutes or so. With Apple-logo umbrellas and water. This was the preorder group with assigned time slots, mind you (there was another line for walk-ins.) I would have preferred to check in and have them text me when my phone was ready, as they normally do with service appointments.
Exactly, human desires, morals and all other sources of 'ought' are ultimately influenced by the way humans 'are'. So if you took in account whole evolutionary history, the way it influenced culture, the way culture developed itself based on that and other external influences (all 'is' questions), you would eventually arrive at human moral framework and that would let you generate 'ought' statements.

Basically what we as humans do every day.

I don’t see it as being a gaming specific issue, that’s just incidental. Why would anyone deliberately design an input device, so that the operation of different buttons was mechanically coupled in such a way as to arbitrarily limit their use in combination? I can easily imagine graphical design apps where you might want to do similar click-drag-alt/click combos. Or you might have a context menu opened by holding down the right mouse button, with checkboxes or multi-selectable options on it.
Sounds like they were focused on that 10x growth :D

I think it’s not unusual for any program to be 30% faster than the program it replaces. So far I haven’t seen any specific examples of the C++ or Rust compiler providing a speedup by leveraging additional information input by the programmer. The main speedup seems to be the ability to easily implement more complicated algorithms, and the ability to speedily replace slow one-off implementations with relatively high-quality standard library ones.
How can the strongest economy for more or less everyone especially minorities, increasing salaries, increasing jobs in blue collar industries be the US loosing?

How anyone can be against that is beyond me unless they working in the tech industry and don't really feel the reality of the last 30 years of destroying the american middle class.

Recently my old Google Nexus 5 phone quit after five years of dutiful service, so I went looking for a new phone. I was completely blown away by how competitive the Android world has become and much prices have come down.

In the end I have decided for an Honor 9 Lite that cost me a measly 159 Euros. The result? It is the best phone I've ever had and I am not missing anything.

So, I cannot see why anyone would want to spend more on an Android phone these days. What additional value does a Pixel 3a give me that would justify an almost 3x premium?

Aimless men turning to antisocial behavior and violence is the biggest threat to society as a whole, but women suffer too in a non-monogamous world. They suffer from being perceived as always available for sex (see the grievances driving #metoo), from their reproductive years being much shorter than men’s, and the results of that. Lifetime monogamy, for example, protects women from being left at 40 when their husband finds a younger girl.

Maybe you think absolute freedom in these affairs is worth it nonetheless, but people before us had good reasons for how they organized their world, and we shouldn’t be so quick to discount it as just flowing from prejudice, ignorance, or evil.
How does the blog post not even mention the headphone jack?!?

The first thing I did was a cmd+F for "jack" and "headphone" and "audio"—if there's no headphone jack, I have no interest in reading further. Since my searches came up with nothing, I assumed the headphone jack wasn't present. Would still be assuming that if not for the comments here.

Around that time (maybe a year later?) I had an ABIT BP6 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABIT_BP6) with 2x Celeron II's. They were 500MHz but trivially easy to overclock to 800MHz and above (I think I could get it to just about 900MHz but it became unstable at that point). To this day I still consider that to be one of the best PCs I've ever used - let along owned.

This is the problem with anti-fingerprinting. It's a genuinely hard problem, not in the "it takes a lot of code and a lot of will to get it done" sense, but in an "it's unclear what computer science has to say about this problem right now" sense. It's up there with DRM/antimalware (two sides of the same coin).
I'm not sure what you're talking about, this price point already has tons of competition. OnePlus, Pocophone, Huawei, Xiaomi and of course Samsung all have decent-spec phones in this price region.

I think the only complaint I have is that nobody else is putting nice cameras into these phones or giving them decent software support.

Hey!

Price was a bit of a struggle. Initially, my plan was to sell it for $249 (or around that range), but since this software is also for freelancers and small businesses, some of them don't have that kind of budget and stick with $129 which is good.

The software was released recently (a week ago more or less), so no customers have purchased just yet. However, I've already presented it to several customers (freelancing business) and are considering grabbing a copy.

No, the software hasn't been released to the public up until recently. :-D

No marketing/advertising has been done yet. HN is the first public post made!

Yes, it is my full-time job at the moment. I have an old freelance project that I'm working on, but besides that, Full Help is my new full-time project and hope it stays that way for a long time. This is also one of the reasons for the pricing model (optional license renewals). I want it to be viable in the long term for me and the customers using it.

That's a good idea! Will be working on a blog post explaining the backstory and several things that people have asked here. :-)

Thanks!

That would be nice. I work with leasing software and you’re right not to envy :-).

> If the attacker managed to read the inner state of your RNG, you need to rotate all keys.

That's not the attack I'm talking about. The inner-state of your RNG can be brute-forced with an attack of size 2^256 (assuming 256-bits of internal state to your RNG).

If your 256-bit RNG creates 100x 256-bit AES-keys, the "common thread" is to attack the RNG. That's the most efficient way to get all 100x AES keys.

Case in point:

1. Try state X

2. Did it generate the RNG Sequence you're attacking? If so, you're done.

3. If not, X = X+1. Go back to step #1 and loop.

Simple brute-force attack against the state. That is to say, a 256-bit RNG only has "256-bits" of protection. Or to put it another way: the 100x AES Keys you've generated all have 256-bits of protection, max.

-----------

Stick a TRUE Hardware random number generator with entropy guarantees (such as RDSEED) as your generator, and you're immune to this brute force attack. In theory, its a non-trivial difference. In practice, 256-bits of entropy is enough for most people, and no one is going to accomplish this brute force attack.

Its not about "draining" entropy. Its about asking yourself how much entropy your application needs. I can IMAGINE people needing more than 256-bits of entropy in higher-security contexts.

Counterpoint: showing up at a bar that encourages smoking is a much stronger signal when there are less people that do it.

A human voluntarily showing up at a bar in the age of Tinder is a strong signal, too. So in theory the "creepiness" of assuming their intention to meet others as potential dating material should reduce as well.

And just like it would be gauche to go as a nonsmoker to a smoking bar and complain about the smoke in your face, it would be the same to go to a singles bar and complain about the unwanted attention of other patrons.
