>You can ask any athlete

I was a serious athlete for about fifteen years and still am casually. Of course it makes a difference; the question is how much. The answer is not much, especially when we're talking about relatively short distances (I don't think anyone commenting here is talking about carrying their laptop for a 30 mile hike), and I'd much prefer better battery life and the old keyboard.

I've played with the new Watch frameworks a little. Aside from the most basic toy apps, the Apple Watch app frameworks really aren't ready or stable enough for prime time.

It will take another year or two, depending on how much effort Apple puts into improving the APIs.

How does one go about finding stuff like this? Also how much time did it take to research and develop the full exploit? Sounds like a lot of work, especially if you’re not getting paid.
The difference being one side is evil and the other isn't so much.

The Chinese government, the CCP and everything they stand for regarding liberty and freedom of thought and expression is against the fundamental values of the West. The ideas are not equal in value. China is wrong. Oppression of thought is wrong. Incarceration without trial is wrong.

The US and other countries don't get it right all the time, but at least our citizens have the expectation of rights the Chinese can only dream of.
Not joking. If the years have taught me anything that would be pragmatism. You want to introduce a new vendor and cost centre for what? Send your docs out early followed by a password if that's secure 'enough' for your use case.

Any further guesses as to how "important" the organisation is is pointless in the absence of understanding the actual use case.
If I only want to use one, which one is the best? Plugging into standard PostgreSQL with few hundred millions of records
Sorry, no. The complexity is that you are now relying on another server which can break in new ways, requires startup and shutdown and configuration and possibly load-balancing; management of all the above... updates, security reviews, and documentation. Will you need new server types with an emphasis on RAM? How many and when? How are you monitoring it for errors and performance?

That's the difference between thinking about it as a solution to a problem and thinking about it as part of your infrastructure.

There's a huge list of caveats in Postgres's inheritance documentation [1], and even the obvious issues haven't been touched in decades. I've never heard of anyone using this feature.

At this point, I would say Postgres itself is a tool that doesn't support Postgres inheritance.

not untrue!

Though I would point out that because remote is a "new" style of work, it's probably too early in remote work's history to use this as evidence of remote work's unsuitability in general. This being because there are likely a number of "tricks" to making remote employment work properly that today's remote companies haven't yet mastered, while in contrast physical companies have a significant and long cultural history to pull the best ideas from.

TL;DR: yes, but I think remote work is also at Semver 0.X.Y right now so we should give it some time to grow

> But, this is being resolved by: People moving to other countries resulting in a decrease in government tax revenue, giving less incentive to extort money through corruption and forces efficiency on government services (out of necessity), and in the end, it makes it a competitive market again.

Not my observation. Several months ago the fixed social insurances quietly got higher by 2-3%. This tells me that the government is like "oh well, less people pay social insurance, so let's make it a little bit more expensive for the others to compensate!".

I am not seeing any tangible pressure on the people of power in Bulgaria, and that's very worrying.

>>Why are per capita statistics more important than total emissions?

Why should a grouping of people called "country" be more important than per capita? You can always find a group that is larger than you, but it is still not a good excuse for not changing what you do. I would say it is selfish to expect mostly emerging markets to change, when it is the developed world that is mostly to blame

Damnit. He has a point.
No index, not the same size of datastore, queries in a loop the same entry, no cache config on the db side, only one hydrates an ORM... Don't get confused, it's not because data comes from a database that it comes from the disk when you query it.

I'm pretty sure we can go to a x3 max for the db.
> Unlike Silicon Valley, where equity incentive plans have become as ubiquitous as foosball tables and midday yoga sessions

It's funny what captures peoples' attention: equity option incentive has been pretty much table stakes in the valley since the early 80s (at least...likely longer) while making work look more like a playground really only took off relatively recently (last 20 years).

And some of the taxes discussed (taxable gains on exercise) have the same implementation in the US (though the rates are different). The real difference is the qualification of ISOs.

It's not just a detail if you are looking for hardware acceleration on floating point operations on quads (float128 type).

Hmm, how is Cruise #3? It seems like their acquisition was for around a billion dollars, but DoorDash and Coinbase should be above that on the list.
This is a workaround for not having computed columns, and you can even use a VIEW to present an interface that looks a lot like a table with computed columns, so it's pretty good, but you don't get persistence (the column will be computed every time it's required) and you don't get indexing.

Another workaround is to create a proper column and then ON INSERT OR UPDATE triggers that force NEW.that_column to have a computed value. This approach gets you persistent computed columns that you can index on.

What's surprising is that the new functionality in PG 12 doesn't support non-persistent computed columns, and that the other limitations (which are good) don't quite jive with the second workaround I mentioned.

> When people claim the NHS is going to be privatised I think it is either deliberate scaremongering or they just don't realise how politically impossible it is.

I'm not so sure. People talking about private provision in the NHS are just looking at the several billions of pounds that the NHS already spends on private provision for NHS services, and at how the Health and Social Care Act works.

We already have large NHS services delivered by private, non-NHS providers. Livewell South West is one example - 2800 staff. Priory Group and Cygnet are two other notable examples. Here's Livewell's page: https://www.livewellsouthwest.co.uk/ Here's a list of Cygnet hospitals: https://www.nhs.uk/Services/Trusts/HospitalsAndClinics/Defau...

Priory Group and Cygnet are involved in some "specialist commissioning" services - low secure and medium secure forensic MH services, in-patient eating disorder services. These are expensive services.

Everything needed for NHS privatisation is already in place after the Lansley reforms. There is nothing stopping large US firms coming over and putting in bids to run NHS services. If they put the right bid in CCGs are compelled by law to accept it, a CCG isn't allowed (by law) to prefer an NHS provider. The reason they haven't already done this is because they can't afford to do it on the money an austerity-funded NHS system is offering.

Of course, this isn't the type of privatisation that parent post is talking about. But if we look at the reduction in provision of drug and alcohol services; of child and adolescent MH services; of adult acute MH services; of community based psychological therapy (unless you want IAPT); well, there are loads of things that people either just do without or they pay for from their own pocket. Some politicians have already said they want to charge people for GP visits or for ambo use.

And all of this is ignoring the group of people who now have to pay for healthcare when they didn't before: the Overseas Visitors Charging Regulations.

Learning new sequences by analogy seems super valuable, but I'm not sure experience replay in RL is the best way to apply it. Experience replay in their 2015 Atari paper is basically a hack to overcome catastrophic forgetting and extreme sample inefficiency, which are two problems neural network architectures have that we may very well overcome in a more principled way eventually.

What I mean by that is that, while being able to replay experiences is super valuable, and humans do it, we don't replay experiences 50 to 100 times as often as we actually experience things the way reinforcement learning algorithms do. There's something else going on there

Edit: having read the abstract of the paper now, I'm less sure the paper itself is talking about RL-style experience replay, that may have just been the author of the post connecting the two ideas.

Hmm very interesting, I was unaware of some of your example such as the Orangutan. Upon further research, at the Genus level "Two organisms from one genus might or might not produce an offspring with sexual fertility, but it is very certain that organisms from two different genera (plural of genus) can never produce a fertile offspring." While species has the same number of chromosomes and will produce fertile offspring. I guess my question, or perplexion, is why every verbally articulate human being on the earth now are solely the same species. Questions 1) Either by selection. 2) Even though genetic diversity. Maybe all our classifications are semantic, I'm still processing this. (Quote source: https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-genus-a...)

I feel that the back button is only consistent in its position but its functionality remains a mystery to me. Sometimes it goes to a previous page, sometimes to another app, sometimes to the home screen... I like that on iOS this is separated between the "go back to previous app/swiping on home indicator" and app specific buttons.

Fortunately Android 10 has introduced gestures so trying to reach the back button is no longer painful.

But the "easier development" part is very debatable. What do I see in the browser developer console when debugging a Blazor app? Can I insert breakpoints, trace what is running and how? etc. etc.

I get disliking JavaScript, but there is a strong argument to be made for using the tried and tested technologies that developers have been using for a very long time, rather than shoehorning whole new tech in just because it's in a language you prefer.

I think you may be misapprehending the argument. The value propositions that people cite when talking about why they use Facebook are certainly understandable. However, there is a cost incurred here (ex. questionable usage of private data, externalities imposed on elections, loss of understanding and control over what shows up in your feed, etc.)

So yes, there is certainly value there. And it's made even more attractive by the fact that the actual cost is effectively hidden to users since they aren't actually the customers. The argument here is more about whether the cost incurred is actually worth the minor convenience.

Tangentially, I've often thought that the added convenience necessarily cheapens the interactions. Things like the automatic birthday reminders have basically outmoded the old "it's the thought that counts" adage.

> that is very consistent on Android

I'm pretty confused by this statement since a near universal complaint about the Android back button is that it's more like a 'shuffle' button that chooses between going a screen back, going back to the previous app, undoing an action or exiting an app. And there is zero clarity on which of those it will do.

I doubt it. Don't forget: consumer bank balances were generally protected by government guarantee, so ‘people would have lost all their money without the bailout’ just isn’t true.

Bailing out these failing for-profit businesses—privatising profits and socialising losses—is a moral hazard. That is unfair and bad for competition.

But there is more than that. Even if the money was apparently eventually repaid, like in the UK, then even if you ignore inflation, this had a huge opportunity cost. The money could have been put to good use, but instead the public debt ratcheted up, which became an excuse for austerity.
