This is a very strange article and premise to me. A university education is not vocational training. A CS education includes courses in programming, but learning to program—indeed, learning CS—is only a part of the education you are signing up for at university.

I arrived at university having already worked for a couple years in open source and a bit of contracting. I worked as a professional programmer throughout my undergraduate degree. I was bored by most of the introductory programming courses. The liberal arts, being around other young adults, the theoretical CS parts, the electrical engineering bits, and some of the project work were the only valuable parts, but that was plenty of value to me.

Going to university to learn to program is like going to university to learn refrigerator repair or how to play the guitar. Vocational and on-the-job training will go deeper into the craft. If you only want vocational training, go to a vocational school, get a private teacher, or teach yourself. Don’t go to university just to learn a skill. You certainly can, but it’s not an efficient way to do that. People study music in university to become better rounded musicians, not to learn an instrument. Same with CS.
I don't think a CS degree will ever compete with genuine interest. People get attracted to the hot job market and the insane FAANG salaries, but those people will never stack up to the folks who dumped their childhood and adulthood into understanding how software works.
Note: He’s financially independent, never has to work again if he doesn’t want to.

Most importantly, he has time in a way most working parents do not.

Maybe that changes your perspective of how applicable his views are to your situation.
That was my experience in college. Most of my classes were fluff and filler. Of course, I finished college in my 40s after taking a 20-year break to raise my kids, so my perspective is probably a little different than most.

Yes, that’s bad but note that even unpatched it is only an issue if the GUI management port has been left open - which seems to be the case with all the security issues people highlight with Mikrotik

I wouldn’t disagree that management ports should probably be locked down out of the box but I would expect anyone reading this to apply some basic lockdown when setting up any device

I just want to offer a counterpoint to an assertion that I often see here claiming they are insecure which I don’t think is justified

Certainly if you are not into networking and want something that just works then Unifi is great, but if you want something with bucketloads more functionality and don’t mind getting your hands dirty then don’t be put off Mikrotik due to security concerns
Note that a it’s an entirely different story with a “real” kdf like scrypt or bcrypt.

MD5 and SHA are specifically designed to be fast to compute, they shouldn’t be used for passphrases.

Figured I’d bring it up in case there’s still PHP floating around with the once-typical practice of MySQL + MD5.

Spain keeping permanent DST would be quite peculiar. Their standard time already is 2 hours aheard of the sun, so I wouldn't understand why they wanted to be permanentely 3 hours ahead of the sun.
Regarding the management comment. I took the trade school route and after being an IC for a while I currently lead a team of engineers - without a degree. Maybe it would have helped though. I've had to read CS books everyday and still do.
I have used Mikrotik at work and have been alarmed at how often professional network engineers make mistakes with them. I found some serious errors through testing (and some exploitation), and when putting them right I could see why the engineers had made that mistake. I caution against them. They don't just have a clunky gui they have a model of the network that people seem to find hard to understand. Shame on Unifi over GPL, but their kit is very good
I’m glad someone got the reference...
It just takes a few badly behaved scripts constantly polling the domain.
They published it as an open standard. Many apps and stores support it. The purpose was to take an informal industry practice and make it into a formal portable open standard.

But society sets the hours based on the majority of the population. Permanent DST would trigger a time shift so that the effects are compensated.

We should all remember that how people present themselves online, whether it's beautiful photos on Instagram or enlightened blog posts, is not reality.

Sivers legally forced himself to give nearly the entire value of his company (~$22,000,000 - (5% per year of living)) that he had worked years to build to charity, and that can be verified pretty easily.

It's safe to say he's a better person than most, and this article isn't really advice in the sense you seem to be implying. Using a holier-than-thou tone probably doesn't help your case, very much.
And if I, for whatever reason (for example, am broke and can't afford it) don't want to? Am I complicit then? It would be interesting to ask lawyers, because it's a very similar case.

He explained later, that contributors used it on Mac and it was working for them.
Suppose they haven't started working on it yet. What's to prevent them from starting next year and having a solution ready in a few years?
The PCIe and IF connections are basically two MACs sharing the same PHY, and the PHY is the hard part to speed up. There's not really a plausible way that AMD could end up in a situation where they would have reason to boost the speed of just one out PCIe or off-package IF. And the on-package IF PHY between the IO die and the CPU chiplets is easier to get working at a given speed than the off-package version (though I don't remember off the top of my head if they are still using two separate PHY designs on the current generation). So by the time they've got an upgraded IO die with PCIE 5/6/etc., it's pretty much guaranteed that they will be ready to bump up the IF link speed to match.
On the other hand, Nvidia's Linux drivers are blobs (that don't even support Wayland) while AMD and Intel actively contribute to Mesa, and treat their users well (or at least much better than nvidia).
Nothing can bridge that divide, because of the simple nature of economics in an industrialized country. Unless you are dealing with raw resource extraction, cities are more productive, period.

The thing about living in an industrialized country is that raw resource extraction does not employ all that much labour.

It doesn't even matter how you structure your economic system. Even if we install radical socialism, with very heavy emphasis on wealth redistribution, there is still going to be a huge social divide between urban and rural.

We're better off not pretending that up is down, and black is white, and instead dealing with a world where we acknowledge that these differences exist, and will always exist.
In no way trying to bring politics or anything into this. Just a neat fact.

Jim's brother-in-law is Jordan Peterson. Yup, that Jordan Peterson. Small worldish thing I guess?

A bit off-topic, but you citing 17k as the population of Princeton "proper" is quite wrong. While it is true that Princeton Township and Princeton Borough were once different municipalities, they shared most resources and, importantly, a cultural identity and school system.

The distinction between Princeton "proper" and otherwise is not between the Township and Borough (which were legally joined for good several years ago), but between Princeton and Princeton Junction, West Windsor, Kingston, etc.

The population of Princeton is 25k+.

Anyway the moral of my story is that calling the township Princeton "proper" attempts to create a divide that the residents don't care for, and dismisses many of them as not being from the "real" Princeton.

Ask HN: What database should I use for analytics data?
Let me rephrase that. I'm running Simple Analytics where we collect page views, events and specific details about a page view (url, time, referrer, utm_source, screen width ...).

At the moment we use PostgreSQL which serves us pretty well. We have some caching tables setup and with our processing scripts we have the data in customers dashboards within 2 minutes. We move our raw visits in tables with visits aggregated per hour and per day.

This is all working fine. But we want to start targeting bigger clients now and would love to be fine then as well.

A few things that are important to us when selecting a database:

- it is very popular (we want to solve issues fast)

- it is free to use (the license)

- it is easy to maintain (very important)

- it can run on my own servers

One that really appeals to us is Apache Cassandra with Apache Spark.

But we're not sure if we should optimize our PostgreSQL workflow. I wouldn't mind investing 1 or 2 weeks of my time into setting up a new database, but it should also save time in the future. The common queries we will have are (see our demo dashboard to see what we show [1]):

- get (unique) page views from a website grouped by per 24 hours

- get list of most visited pages and show those with the percentages of referrals aggregated by day (/contact: twitter.com 20%, organic 80%)

- get conversions between events of sessions/list of events

There are probably many tools out there to help, but I wouldn't use a sledgehammer to hammer a nail.

Yeah fuck this guy for writing on his blog.

People are born with an innate ability to parent equally as well as anybody else. All parents are fantastic at it.
It's crazy how amd still hasn't fixed their long long term driver issues. It's been a weak point for years and still is bad.

Are you sure that you are not justaddicted to Twitter? Constantly reading tweets and writing small sniootes of text?

I love that blog, but this doesn’t help. Parents are bombarded with messages that just adds to their anxiety and self-doubt about being a good parent and giving their kids all they need.

Being a parent is tough. It’s hard work — you are thrown into this huge responsibility with no experience what-so-ever. It’s easy to feel completely abandoned in this task, it’s easy to feel that you’re not enough, that you could, or should, be doing more, better or what have you.

I believe what we need, as parenting advice, is that what kids really need is love and care. It is ok to be tired as a parent, it is ok to not be able to sit and play with your kid for hours straight, it’s ok to have the kids watch the iPad, even though it’s “not stimulating their intellect” so that you have the time to shower or get something to eat. And most important, it is ok to not be the best parent in the world.

I think the internet needs more messages like that instead of further increasing our insecurities as parents. Being a parent is damn though as is.

IA64 had a glaring fault that trumps all of it’s advantages. It was explicitly a vliw design, so the user had to, or compiler, manually set multiple different kind of ops per single instructions.

Modern superscalar OoO is pretty much like that, except there is a piece of hardware internally that does it, almost like a hardware jitter. This freedom both means the magical compiler doesn’t have to exist but also it allows processors to have varying amount of execution units. See that you could actually use one more int alu? Just add it and even older software is able to automatically get the benefit.

My younger brother was like this. The downside is that he was growing up without friends. He would be interested in many things other kids of his age were finding boring.

I believe what we need, as parenting advice, is that what kids really need is love and care.

I agree with this.

it’s ok to have the kids watch the iPad, even though it’s “not stimulating their intellect”

Not criticizing: Why this? Why not encourage the child to do something like use Swift Playgrounds (an iPad app made for young children), or play a game, or read a book?

And most important, it is ok to not be the best parent in the world.

Shouldn't that be the aim of everyone, even if they miss it?

When I let my 5 months old investigate my keyboard, he changed my code, started the compiler and locked the device within 30 seconds. The secret? They use both hands. The give away? They re-press the same keys often, so the result would be a lot more repetitive.
There's a simpler explanation for why Intel used AMD GPUs for a while: Intel's new integrated GPU design couldn't ship until they sorted out their 10nm issues, and their older design wasn't competitive. When Intel went shopping for GPUs on the open market, they could get them cheaper from AMD than Nvidia (though the HBM2 requirement was a clear downside). They actually paired AMD GPUs with both 14nm Kaby Lake and their failed 10nm Cannon Lake processors that had broken integrated GPUs. The short-lived Intel/AMD GPU partnership came to an end because Nvidia's lead over AMD got too big, but it was doomed to be cancelled as soon as Intel gets 10nm working.
Goop is on to something important I think that it’s worth listening to, even if Goop and the wellness movement need to go away.

The way we have organised society, including the way we practice medicine, is not fantastic for human well-being.

When I am sick I want a doctor who I am confident will give most effective medical treatment we know of. Part of that need is to feel that the doctor has heard me, and cares about me.

I think we systemically fail at both actually giving the most effective treatment, and giving patients the feeling that they are getting effective treatment.

Doctors do intervene more than they need to with both drugs and surgery. That’s true, and well known.

This is only anecdotal from people I have talked to, but it seems to be common experience to have symptoms repeatedly dismissed by doctors, sometimes over years, that turn out to be pathological.

It is also both true and now common knowledge that there are systemic biases in research favouring the prescription of pharmaceuticals.

Doctors everywhere are under pressure to increase throughput of patients, so it’s also very difficult to give a full account of complex symptom clusters in the time available.

It is not at all surprising that people turn to “medicine” that is packaged in more caring terms.

Just pragmatically, the tone of these articles is not going to win these people back. It’s not that it’s not warranted, it’s that is actively leaning in to what’s causing people to seek medical answers in (what should be) the fringes.
Almost like the brain has a compaction and garbage collection phase.
Agree. This paper is just another attempt at modelling economies of agglomeration. It's a pretty well-studied bit of urban economics. This paper just sounds a little socially tone-deaf.

The paper's primary policy points appear to be, using quotes from the paper:

1) CNR workers work better in "cognitive hubs" that specialise in this type of work.

2) "The main culprit of spatial misallocation is the existence of large occupation-specific externalities combined with potential distortions due to land use regulations."

3) Small towns are misguided in trying to lure "tech" to their cities, and should instead find a non-CNR industry to concentrate on that is not already concentrated in a specific city. ("the economics of the problem suggest that, with the appropriate transfers, small industrial cities in the U.S. should attract non-CNR workers and not try to become the next San Jose. The concentration of CNR workers in a few “cognitive hubs” should be encouraged, not scorned.")

4) CNR cities should be subsidizing non-CNR workers outside of the hub, at a UBI (wealth transfer) to non-CNR workers of about $17,000 a year per worker. ("CNR workers, who earn substantially more, end up paying a base transfer of $16,856. One interpretation of this base transfer is that of a 'universal basic income' paid to all non-CNR workers.")

We can distill this further, to:

a. In general, CNR workers work better around other CNR workers due to positive externalities of location. I think this is tough to deny, with SF/the Valley for tech, NYC for finance, LA for entertainment, Shenzhen for hardware manufacturing, et cetera.

b. We should be removing any restrictions that stop this cycle from growing, from land use regulations, to stopping incentives and funding to small towns to create their own 'tech hubs', to just straight paying people to leave the city that are not part of that industry and stay out. It's the latter part of this everyone seems to be latching onto, however it's pretty common in economics to just model incentives as direct quantifiable costs.

This also explains what is happening in the Bay Area right now:

"Otherwise, cognitive hubs might use other indirect means of pushing out non-CNR workers such as, for example, housing supply constraints, zoning restrictions, or a lack of investment in transportation networks to aid commuting. Such efforts can generate occupational polarization across space without Pareto gains for all workers."
"According to the survey, millennials who work in large, private-sector organisations have lost faith in the ethics of these organisations over the last year."

The last year? I think the rot set in during the Thatcher/Reagan era. Corporations showed they had no loyalty to their employees so they shouldn't be surprised when their employees respond accordingly.
In that case we would likely be stuck with AMD on bulldozer era or Intel now. No competition allowed thus the incubent will stay lazy.

The fault lies with human organizations in general. Everything will stagnate and there will be a boss ”We have always done it this way”. Only by coming from outside can one go around these issues.

In the 50s or so US was actually worried what you say might be the case and communist society would trash capitalism because factories would share innovations instead of competing with them.

It is interesting to juxtapose this conversation with semi-recent comments by Peter Thiel on how the West has technologically stagnated in the past ±50 years. Perhaps there is a link between "no-heavy-CS-required web development" becoming the dominant tech industry and this stagnation.

1) Photos taken from my mobile phone (android) are backed up to "Google photos". This allows me to search by dates/objects/people/location etc. Google also allows me to cast (screensaver) it to the television using chromecast.

2) Photos taken from DSLR are backed up to the folder on external drives(2) and also synced with google photos.

This set-up is working fine for many years. I haven't explored any other tools in recent times.

Road damage is proportional to the fourth power of the axle weight. Adjusting the tyre pressures won't have any appreciable effect. Halving the maximum lading weight would reduce the damage by a factor of sixteen.
iSH is dog slow even on my last year’s iPad Pro 12.9’’, the most powerful iPad to date (not really surprising since iSH is based on user mode x86 emulation). So, except for novelty or tasks with absolutely no alternatives, I wouldn’t really recommend it.
A 100 watt CPU in any modern data center would be at an incremental cost of well under $40.

Data centers get cheap bulk power, cooling is mostly passive now (evaporative) and backup power systems are also a lot cheaper now compared to the compute cost than in the past.
I’m a complete self taught programmer. I guess it took longer for me to reach specific knowledge as others but I’m a passionate programmer. I read tons of books, read a lot of articles and opinion pieces of how to do x (not that I follow them blindly) and most important I read and write a lot of code.

Granted not everyone does that and my motivation was never just to get a job.
The second part which I don’t really concur with are the soft skills parts being taught during a CS degree. I happen to know plenty of new programmers who constantly overcommit and or get fed up with small details. I think that these skills can only be acquired at work with the help of good instructors.
