One way is to keep a polymorphic (postgres unloggged) `backups` table with bson/json field to store any table's row. use this before and after migrations and backup and truncate this frequently.

Great idea. Love the minimalism! I was going to comment that it might be better (or at least easier to remember) to have short options like -o and -v instead of separate commands like dno and dnview, but then I looked at the code and noticed these are all just a collection of shell aliases stored in the "dn" file. Nicely done!

As a German I find that article... uhm... Interesting. I could also just call bulls*it.

First: With a population of about 2m and as part of former East Germany, Thüringen is _hardly_ representative of Germany (pop 83m). That's less than 2.5% of the population.

Second: In Bavaria the Green party did quite well (2nd strongest in 2018); and in Germany as a whole it does too.
Edit: In Hessen (Germany's most populous state) state the Green party was the 2nd strongest as well.

Third: I'm pretty sure windmills are not among the major reasons for the popularity of the AfD.
Your distinction between "users" and "developers" is meaningless to me. Why does FSF get to make that distinction, but GitHub cannot do the same for "ICE" and "other humans".

All in all, the FSF is arguing for restrictions about how one class of individuals may use what they produce and for the benefit of the other class. Just like how FSF prevents other developers from using their products to lock other users out of their software, similarly, the employees are asking to prevent ICE from using their products against the questionable imprisonment of other human beings.

AlphaZero was miraculously good, almost to the point of straining credibility. AlphaGo and AlphaStar are more like normal advances. They are mostly engineering, although theoretical contributions are not trivial. (Using reinforcement learning for value network in case of AlphaGo, and multi-agent self-play setup in case of AlphaStar, since straight self-play doesn't work.)
> They come from a build config file/script as part of the build.

But the script is in VC surely?

> How would you handle that with anything but environment variables and a master shell script?

Again, where is that master shell script? What args do you give it?

My preference is that you have one environment variable, and your config is keyed off that.

If that environment variable is not supplied, fail noisily.

tl;dr NSA surveillance could have chilling effects (no evidence either way) and the author has concerns about oversight and accountability.

Pretty unconvincing IMO. The real issue is selective enforcement, e.g. cops who bomb a house to smithereens in pursuit of a suspect but then have sovereign immunity so don't have any consequences. And similarly city officials tend to throw the book of regulations at people they don't like.

One thing I want to try to eliminate stress is an internet detox. I think just surfing the web, even semi-intelligent stuff like Hacker News, might be really stressful. I ditched my computer and phone today while the sun was up and it was an uneasy feeling -- beyond the withdrawal, it seemed like the world I was seeing was actually a lot brighter and safer than what I'd read about online. People seemed more approachable or at least safer and happier when I took the time to look. I cleaned my room on the third hour because I wanted to, not because some stressed out blogger told me to. Right now I feel just relaxed.

This may sound stupid but it's the first time in a while that I ditched the internet in a place where I normally would have it. Now I'm wondering if our more primitive ancestors would have viewed it as a cesspool of negativity that not only freaks us out but distracts us from more obvious personal issues.

Anyway the connection to sleep is that stress obviously can mess with your sleep.
The DREAM act has been around since 2001 and at its peak never even had even a million members throughout its existence. Illegals with a criminal background have always been preferred for deportation in the US. But my question how is which ICE is a government entity partisan for following the immigration edicts of the current administration?

Also looks like Both Sideism can go into the large book of unnecessary and arbitrary -ism words people have come up with during this presidency.

think calculus for this one, growth continuing in the positive will mislead when that growth is losing steam. Watch the animation near x=1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_derivative#Relation_to_.... The slope must decrease and reach flatline before it goes negative. It's all a matter of rates not absolute figures. Like a ball thrown up in the air, it goes up, and eventually reaches its peak, then begins its descent. We're nearing the peak population wise which is what a lot of these articles are getting at.
If your pipeline is meant to count files then the bigger problem is that it counts directories too.

If you have filenames with newlines you may have other - less nasty - stuff too.

So you either get a reasonable answer in 1s (or 2s if you have short look at the output before counting). Or you spend 1h+ discussing requirements and carefully writing a program that gives a precise answer.

Things to consider:

- how to treat symlinks

- how to treat hardlinks

- what if files are added/removed to/from the directory tree while you scan

- how to react to missing read permissions

- is your regex on the whole path or just on the basename

>Another reason is that I'm a digital creator at heart, not a programmer. Ultimately, I don't care about programming, I care about putting whatever is in my mind into the real world (despite that I did my best to learn CS as I did find it a valuable form of knowledge). And I find programming to be the most effective way to do that. I think creating CRUD apps is quite close to digital creation.

Focusing on this and working "value creation" in to it will come across a lot better than anything that could be interpreted as "CRUD apps are easy and I'm looking to bludge for a while before I bail to something challenging again".

My honest advice. If you don’t already have a really good understanding of the math I recommend you focus on the more applied stuff (like everything coding sleeve mentioned). I fear many of the roles that actually would require you to review the math might be looking for PhDs or similar.

You probably should at least know how to do the basic stuff in numpy or whatever though.
This reminds me of AspectJ in that its a language extension with many similar features (extension methods etc). As useful as those features were, the syntactic sugar you get is confusing to new contributors to a project.

Here's a scenario thats played out. In the extension methods example on the Manifold README, it's highlighted that you can add your own methods to Java types. If any dev saw this in the project and they were unaware of manifold, it wouldn't be immediately clear what enables the addition of methods to the Java String type. They would figure it out eventually by either investigating or by debugging. These features blur the lines between programming language and framework.

Where I get weary about adding a dependency is when I see documentation with ~100 line boilerplate examples peppered with terms I've never heard before. Just because you use the word simple when describing something complex does not make it so.

These are orthogonal. Have you used Google App Engine prior to Python 3? When you get more traffic, the App Engine spins up more instances, each running both the handlers you wrote and the server code you didn't write.
Well, in Unix, everything is a file[0], even directories. So when I mentioned filenames, this includes directories. :-)

As a real-world example for those who are curious, running mkdir twice yields errno 17, EEXIST, which is "File exists"[1]:

root@vbox:~# mkdir directory
root@vbox:~# mkdir directory
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘directory’: File exists

But sure, the fast way could be mostly right, and maybe your goal is to just get it done and not get better at these tools, in which case, sure.

I agree that IRC doesn't hit the needs and wants of many contributors these days. But I've really found the limits of the Slack free plan a bit rough in the Elixir Slack. And I'd say concerns about being on a proprietary system are valid. It ends up being a mess of pragmatic trade-offs, rather than clear-cut. Slack and friends is overall more approachable.

Doesn’t look like many are reading the actual article. It sets up the “nothing to hide” argument as the following, which is quite a bit more difficult to rebut:

“ Therefore, in a more compelling form than is often expressed in popular discourse, the nothing to hide argument proceeds as follows: The NSA surveillance, data mining, or other government information- gathering programs will result in the disclosure of particular pieces of information to a few government officials, or perhaps only to government computers. This very limited disclosure of the particular information involved is not likely to be threatening to the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Only those who are engaged in illegal activities have a reason to hide this information. Although there may be some cases in which the information might be sensitive or embarrassing to law-abiding citizens, the limited disclosure lessens the threat to privacy. Moreover, the security interest in detecting, investigating, and preventing terrorist attacks is very high and outweighs whatever minimal or moderate privacy interests law-abiding citizens may have in these particular pieces of information.

Cast in this manner, the nothing to hide argument is a formidable one.”
I expect you're right, but there are better ways (e.g. autocomplete) to achieve that.
That's really clever. Using a custom made program or something obscure would be the only safe way.
You’re an asshole. If I could downvote your post, I would.

JavaScript and CSS can add a lot of bloat, unnecessary load times, and add massive security vulnerabilities. Sometimes you just want information, you know, without waiting forever and getting hacked.

I agree it’s not a new phenomenon that people in advertising have tried to sneak in advertisements without people noticing.

The reason it’s different with Facebook (even though it’s been going on in Magazines forever) is the scale of it. Magazines are ubiquitous but the average American does not spend 1-3 hours per day on reading magazines (minutes at most). But Facebook... it’s at a whole other level in terms of the magnitude of people reached and the magnitude of attention being captured.

What might not matter in Magazines May very well matter for Facebook based on the scale of the impact.
I am, within the boundaries of my understanding, for the nuclear power. So I'm not very happy that they shut them down, let's just say that. However, I don't understand how being against wind power helps this situation, at all.
California grew before 1988 under Republican leadership in GDP and population.

It grew after 1988 under Democratic leadership in both GDP and population.

It attracted a lot of capital - human and monetary.

All that political attacking is ridiculous. Just like anecdotal stories of Canadians crossing the border into the US to get treatments. Canada isn’t as terrible as they make it out to be and California isn’t either.

But I’ll tell you one thing — if California ever breaks up into 5 different states, Republicans will have to rethink that whole states rights thing!
I imagine there's a diet controlled to maximize short term physical/mental performance and there's a diet controlled to maximize longevity.
Yeah I do see there are a lot of similarities.

But I think the main difference lies in that copyleft limits itself purely to the realm of controlling how modified software is distributed. The only thing it limits is how modified software is distributed. The only thing it requires is how modified software is distributed. When a developer writes software to be used by others, it's necessary for the developer to decide how to distributed it, and copyleft provides an answer. Copyleft doesn't venture past the developer's necessary role.

On the other hand, limiting providing stuff to ICE ventures out of the developer's necessary question of how to distribute software and now starts thinking about human suffering, jails, politics, etc. You've gone past the question of how to distribute software, and are now thinking about broader topics.

Who is "you"?

My point in saying "you can't make it go away" was not that, if everyone in the world agreed that we should not have ads, that we as a human race couldn't get rid of them.

My point is that that is not going to happen. Or at least, it isn't going to happen suddenly.

When a big internet advertising company encourages advertisers to make their ads less bothersome, and it is met with "but we want no ads at all," I just don't see how that is helpful.

Please don't take HN threads on generic tangents. They lead to shallow, predictable discussions. A public internet forum is not, as a medium, capable of addressing such questions. If you really want to discuss something like that, write an essay (or a book) and then post it here, or maybe someone will.

The more obsure and different the less likely. If closed source the knowledge belongs to the creators. If the circle is extremely small the chance of that knowledge being shared with your enemy is low. It goes up when that circle is increased.

When you want the biggest circle open source is safer. If your circle is small closed will be safer.
> I don't really get your point. What you're saying is that a good message takes a lot of resources to communicate effectively. That is true regardless of whether you can use social media to promote those messages.

The point is that it costs more to promote if you can't buy advertising, which increases the advantage of those with a boatload of money. The people who own Fox News or Facebook would still get to decide what everybody sees but then someone who disagrees with them couldn't even buy advertising to air their competing ideas.

The person with zero dollars has zero voice either way. The question is whether someone with thousands of dollars should be able to get their message in front of the relevant people, or only someone with billions of dollars.

> Conversely, targeted advertisement lets you bombard people with certain inclinations with ads that nudge them to behave in a certain way. That isn't free speech, its targeted manipulation. The targeting is whats important here. For selling goods and services, its fine. For selling leaders or tarnishing leaders, its evil.

Suppose Big Oil wants to build a pipeline in your back yard. They're going to have your neighbor's house seized through eminent domain (or maybe yours), then install a big ugly pipe that will reduce your property value and forevermore be carrying flammable poisonous carcinogenic petroleum that could at any time leak out into your groundwater. You have no idea that this is in the works and won't know until it's too late unless somebody tells you about it right now.

I live a hundred miles from you along the same planned pipeline and I don't want it, so I get together all the people I can find and pool our money to buy issue ads to notify everyone in the path of the pipeline that it's going to happen if we don't get together and oppose it. We can't afford to buy nation-wide untargeted ads, but we can afford to target the people who live right near the planned pipeline and have views that make it likely they'll help us oppose it.

Is this to be prohibited in your opinion? What do you suggest those people do instead in that case?
Aristotle divided causality into four kinds that are useful to remember: material, formal, efficient, and final. Consider a table: the material cause is the wood from which it's made; the formal cause is the concept or design of a table; the efficient cause is the act of carpentry that resulted in its construction; and the final cause is the intention to have the table to use.

The workers of github are an incremental part of the material cause of ICE's actions and the consequences thereof. Any individual employee's contributions are fractional at best, but they clearly own a share of the results of ICE's use of their product, and were I in their position, I'd be balancing whether I want to own some of those shares or not.
You are describing facts related to maintaining a walled-garden specialist community. And there are no particular consequences for anyone who is excluded from it. This is very different from real-world polities where excluding someone doesn't mean that they go away and get silenced.

Basically; your experience is interesting but it isn't clear it applies here. Moderating a forum is not the same as maintaining real social cohesion when people genuinely disagree with each other.
JavaScript is the first path down a road that leads to tracking and ads and optimization. It's too easy to think, "I'll just serve this JS library off X CDN" and voila, you've enabled someone to track your users. "No JavaScript" keeps you honest.
> In the section on "What drugs did you administer?" we had to choose from a scrolling menu of perhaps 100 items for each drug we used

I've seen a similar thing at a medical insurance company, not sure if this one was access (that they made IT take over) or winforms, but to make things even worse the list was un-ordered and semi-random. I only found out about it because the main user was bitching to me on a smoke break, but it had been this way for years and cost her at least a couple of hours a day. After the 5 minutes of work to slap an order by clause in there and the weeks worth work getting it though the bureaucracy (yay for that stupid process of billing internal clients) she was in tears.

Efficient and automated claims processing was the whole reason this company existed too.
Also, one of the hardest-hitting quotes from his book, Permanent Record:

"There is, simply, no way, to ignore privacy. Because a citizenry’s freedoms are interdependent, to surrender your own privacy is really to surrender everyone’s. You might choose to give it up out of convenience, or under the popular pretext that privacy is only required by those who have something to hide. But saying that you don’t need or want privacy because you have nothing to hide is to assume that no one should have, or could have to hide anything – including their immigration status, unemployment history, financial history, and health records. You’re assuming that no one, including yourself, might object to revealing to anyone information about their religious beliefs, political affiliations and sexual activities, as casually as some choose to reveal their movie and music tastes and reading preferences.

Ultimately, saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. Or that you don’t care about freedom of the press because you don’t like to read. Or that you don’t care about freedom of religion because you don’t believe in God. Or that you don’t care about the freedom to peaceably assemble because you’re a lazy, antisocial agoraphobe. Just because this or that freedom might not have meaning to you today doesn’t mean that that it doesn’t or won’t have meaning tomorrow, to you, or to your neighbor – or to the crowds of principled dissidents I was following on my phone who were protesting halfway across the planet, hoping to gain just a fraction of the freedom that my country was busily dismantling."
