Do you describe African Americans using the 'N' word? hopefully not.

Would I know what you meant if you did, yes... but I would have a real hard time respecting you.
A family member of mine had something similar happen when using booking.com. She showed up at the hotel and they had sold her booked room to someone else. It was late and a bit of a nightmare to find another place to stay.

Overbooking airplanes means someone might be stuck sitting in the terminal for hours. Overbooking.com means someone might be made to drive around late at night, tired, with nowhere to sleep.
I like Comic Sans when I see super smart people, like physicists as an example, use it in presentations.

Makes me think of Feynman and all his crazy antics.

Maybe there always needs to be irreverent time. Human feature.

Use it. I do not mind. Never did.

It also makes me think of Mrs what's her name long ago in primary school. She opened my eyes to the wonder of the world and the many peoples in it. Someone would have done that, I am sure.

It is the how she did it. Was with a laugh, like "can you believe this place we are in?"

I treasure that vibe. Matters.
> And this is particularly concerning and completely anti democratic.

It is only anti democratic if you accept that this is the way the majority of your people want this. These people think that it's a tyrany. That's it's one laid upon them by an outside majority does not help.

That is a good metafor. Someone might say, it is not really erased, is it is just the pointer that is deleted. Someone else says, there are still traces of magnetic field left, just much weaker. But if the disk is put in a shredder we can be sure it will never be read again - it is truly dead.

> Imagine the effect on the poor Vietnamese :(

I do, very frequently, in fact. I have many friends who are Vietnamese today (I live in Orange County, CA), and they have many stories about extended family in Vietnam and elsewhere about birth defects and such. My wife's mother is Vietnam-born Chinese. She came to the US as a refugee. They have family that was exposed as innocents caught in the middle of the conflict, just trying to escape with their lives. There are countless generations of people in Vietnam, and now abroad, that will never be properly acknowledged, let alone compensated, for what we did to them. And, in some cases, what is still happening to them today, as the byproducts of the herbicide can still be found in their food supply.
And the nice thing about TCL as a language is there's just like 3 or 4 rules to remember and then you can embed the parser in your head. # is a command that discards all its arguments. So it's in the normal flow of syntax, so line continuation works. It's odd to see but easy to reason about after you are used to it.

I think this is fair. The whole selling point is to have time series abilities inside of PG.

It will not be as fast as a tailored engine? Sure. But the advantage of stay inside of PG is very great (not only ecosystem, but have sql, OLTP + OLAP, etc).

Is like how a document store could be better than add JSON with PG...

In practique? I think this hybrid approach is very good.

P.D: And what about the opposite? Which columnar store can I use for OLTP?
Yes. I don't believe our government is inherently evil and unjust. They have and will continue to have access to all this information legally anyway (if it exists, they can legally get it).

On the plus side, I see a lot of positives with this. I'm tired of graffiti everywhere. The other day I was walking home and some kid picked up a metal trash can on the corner of 37th and 8th, dumped it in the middle of the road and launched it at a storefront window and walked off. Outdoor restrooms, drugs use / dealing, random acts of violence, theft, vandalism... good bye. In Shenzhen, I'm told that if you jaywalk they will auto-deduct the ticket from your bank account by the time you cross the street. Think about the countless billions of dollars in lost productivity, environmental damage, waste whatever it is that you care about that blatant disrespect for other people's time and property costs us.

All of these bad actors can be weeded out. The possibilities actually excite me.

Or rather, it's not that time is "recorded", but it just exists, all at once, just like that, and we're simply experiencing a lower-dimensional slice of the universe, so we feel like we are "moving" through time when we really aren't.
I wonder if there might be a middle path where only ads directly from the campaign are allowed. It wouldn't necessarily resolve the "is it telling the truth" issue, but it would curtail some of the more extreme black propaganda & dark money ads.

The one who's travelling has the weakest odds of all. The traveler will be in a foreign place with no place to stay. In contrast, the host has no losing cards except some income.

No, the one being scammed has the weakest odds. The "traveler" could in fact be a local scammer who sabotages a property and then has various ways (which I won't detail) for turning a profit on it if the rules favor the "poor traveler".

I'm not saying the rules shouldn't favor the traveler, I'm cautioning against assuming that the traveler would always be the victim in case of a scam. This assumption is often the result of projection by an honest observer who can easily picture himself as the traveler but not as the property owner.

Better than biasing the outcome, in my opinion, would be for AirBnB to require all communication about "changes" to go through the corporate system. If both parties agree "it's fine", the event is noted but not investigated until it happens repeatedly. Top N% of repeats plus others at random get investigated. But if either party says it's "not fine", there will be no reviews allowed (so no threat of bad review), and AirBnB will investigate and do the "reviewing" themselves, with the investigation escalating in vigor with repeats. They will also make it clear that any evidence of intentional fraud they uncover will be promptly taken to law enforcement.

Of course this would raise costs for AirBnB, which would be passed on as fees, reducing the cost advantage of AirBnB vs traditional hotels. But if raising the trust level to hotel level eliminated the cost advantage over hotels, the cost advantage would be an illusion.
I feel like this has been discussed somewhere already in history.

Ship of Theseus paradox, if you replace the planks and beams of a ship over and over until they are all replaced, is it still the original ship?

Difference is, humans have a perspective on the world which ships and brooms do not have. If you watched a team busying about with a machine for a few hours, and then a human stepped out of it, and then one of the team members turned to you and said "OK we've got a clone of you, now we're going to shoot you in the head" would you say "yes I see that new person out there across the room looks exactly like me, so it IS me, so go on, shoot me?"
In terms of total mineral output oversaturating would seem to be disadvantageous since being able to get more workers on the new mineral line is offset by the cost of not expanding sooner and then being able to build from both bases.

I'm interested to understand why Alpha did this since worker production seems like one of the most solved and optimized parts of the games and not where you'd expect innovation
Paid advertisements are in fact speech covered by US free speech rights. Courts have accepted some limits in purely commercial speech, but political ads tend to receive the same protection as any other utterance, compensated or not.
Immigration is definitely not the answer. What's the point of bringing in immigrants that will replace the previous population? Should Japan bring in millions of Europeans, which will change the culture and demographics, just to keep the arbitrary GDP number up? Why does it matter if the population decreases if we can keep the quality of life the same or higher?
> They have and will continue to have access to all this information legally anyway (if it exists, they can legally get it).

There are checks in place for this so they don’t abuse their access; checks that we find so important that we put it directly into our Bill of Rights.
Not gonna lie, this logging api is a howler.

“””

Good:

logger.info("hello world")

Bad:

let message = "hello world"

logger.info(message)

If you have a String that you received from elsewhere, please use

logger.info("\(stringIAlreadyHave)")

“””

Ugh.

And the payload field (think extra= in python logging) is pretty gross, you can’t even pass a [String: String] dict. Got help you if you want to dump your structured logging/data into splunk.
Just as an example of how extremely unfair it would end up being, flawless AI micro looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKVFZ28ybQs

It's fascinating & fun to watch, but if your goal is to make an AI that can out-think a human it's super not useful, either.
I'd actually like to read that sci-fi story. Its a fun premise.
Because they're playing the bagman for AirBnB.
Why not simply put the question to the company/manager - “it appears you’ve reduced my package by X, how are you going to make me whole?”
What's "a little extra risk"? A 5% chance you'll die? 1%? 0.1%? Compared to what? Those are actually very large risks when the cost is your life. When the survival rate of using CAPS is an order of magnitude (or more) safer? Use the chute. Not to mention how bad a decision it would be to dead stick if there are passengers on board.

One of the reasons Airbnb is cheaper than hotels is that fraud and safety costs are passed on to guests and hosts. This is part of the business model. Once you build all the protections people want, you may find yourself at the same prices hotels were charging, and that's not very unicorn.
Management implies, the old owners imply this, and some large fraction of the rank and file employees buy this.

When the rank and file realize there is no lottery ticket for them, or that they are the lottery ticket, then there's a lot of burnout.

This form of argument was covered in Daniel J. Solove's ''I've got nothing to hide'' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy (available to read online), which goes into some detail about how such analogies are rather easily countered since they're not based on actual examples (privacy 'dead bodies' so to speak) that demonstrate abuse/negative impacts.

In this case the analogy being made is that by accepting certain forms of say, government agency snooping, they should therefore be fine with you seeing their data at a whim. However people often see themselves as an irrelevant target to the government and/or that given the vast number of data being collected they would be a blip and less likely to be personally spied upon, so they reason themselves out of being concerned (or having any concern for others that may be impacted).

I made no such agreement with the government. You are manufacturing consent where none exists. The sole reason I pay is because of the threat of force, the promise of a gun to my head if I do not. There is no consent.
We already phisically change completely every few years.

We still don't know if we stay we or become something different.

Experience says we are not the same person we were and we often feel disconnected from who we were or who people that know us think we should be.

From our perspective we just accept who we became and simply remember who we were, without being able to be that person ever again.
"The Japanese internment wasn't that big of a deal" is certainly a claim a person can make, but I don't feel compelled to continue discoursing with someone who does.

You’re 100% correct, it’s still just sad to watch.
I was told by a few people that their work culture is a sweatshop with "more work less bullshit" approach, is it true?
One difficulty for new grads is that your CS degree teaches you a skillset that puts you up against an extremely experienced segment of the dev population (Java & C/++ programmers). If you focus on something more modern and nuanced like modern iOS dev or modern frontend dev you are going to be competing with people who can't have more than a few years experience just by default.
I deeply suspect that large swathes of the employees at a lot of these large companies don't really care either way.

As with any large community of people, there are some who are more vocal than others. Call them what you want (protestors/agitators/woke/etc), but I get the feeling that they're getting a disproportionately large amount of focus from the media and I guess management.

Certainly in my experience at an unnamed employer, the first I heard about protests and problems at my work place was when I read about it on the internet - there was nothing in my immediate workplace at all to suggest any of what was reported was actually even happening, let alone pervasive.
I know that Spark has had a lot of work put into it, but my personal experience with it has been pretty negative. I've spent a lot of time at my job trying to tune it to our workflows (extremely deep queries), with only moderate success. I've just POC'd a custom SQL execution engine that was 200x faster than spark for the same workflows. Now, our requirements are pretty non-standard, but I find it pretty easy to believe these benchmarks.
IME, they're referring to SimpleGreen, undiluted. So say my military buddies. I don't doubt they use toxic chemicals though... My father used to tell stories about the injections he got in the Navy. He's since passed from cancer.
The Catalan language really was in risk during the dictatorship, but during democracy its status has constantly improved. Nowadays, Catalan is spoken by the majority of Catalonian people, taught in schools, used (even required) in public institutions... How is independence your only way to avoid that it disappears??? You are just telling lies.

I like the different languages. I have lived in Spain and other countries where they have different languages, and I like that people make everything possible to conserve their languages and local dialects. And I think all this with my Spanish psyche, no less. But if I am talking with someone that can speak a language I speak, and this person insists using one I don't understand, I indeed find it impolite.
Is your ultimate interest more in game dev or the 'classic' Go problem space (servers, concurrency, scaling, etc.), or both maybe?

What point are you trying to get at? There are plenty of ideologies and political ideas that aren't represented by a singular organization advocating for them.
No laws are voluntary. They are all enforced under duress. Men will come to your house and jail you if you don't follow them. That's why they're called "laws", not "options".
We could probably look back to when the laws were passed about identifying the source of broadcast and print ads, as well as "...and I approve this message" in broadcast ads. I'm sure there was some controversy, or at least discussion, that could be reflected upon in the current fight. Perhaps the whole history of fights in campaign finance reform applies.

I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook has already done this.
Anybody using Oversec? I am not using it, but the concept sounds good.

> Oversec constantly monitors the text on your screen. When it finds an encrypted text, it tries to decrypt it and then shows the decrypted text as an overlay in place of the encrypted text.

> In order to encrypt a text, Oversec shows a button next to an active input field. After having entered the secret text, tapping that button makes Oversec read the text, encrypt it and put back the encrypted text into the field. It is now ready to be sent in the subjacent app as usual - the app doesn't even know that it is sending encrypted data!

Too bad pipelinedb died. It was a nice complement to timescaledb -- with small oddities that sometimes took a production database down if you had no experience of advanced vacuum / repack features.

Any plan to bring back something like continuous views in timescaledb? (or to integrate pipelinedb work)
Well, and as pointed out elsewhere the signal protocol only covers messages in transit. How keys are managed, etc. also strongly affect security. In the signal app, the phones own the keys rather than another entity (hence why messages get rekeyed on whatsapp and why you're easily able to load messages on a new phone).
Luckily, whether you consider something racist or not has no actual impact on the usage of the term. And of course, you’re free to call a speeder an “illegal” if you want, just like apparently you’re free to call other HN users racist for using common terminology in a way you don’t like.
Averages are a bad way to look at it. There are fat tails on both sides.
This is great news! We at VictoriaMetrics [1] are happy that TimescaleDB eventually addressed high disk usage issue and implemented type-aware column-based compression. This should improve its' position and performance in TSBS benchmark [2].

One question: why do you use Gorilla compression for floating-point values? It works well for integer values, but is pretty useless for floating-point values [3].

A fair point, thought the accuracy issue is a real one, and one that may get traction as more people deal with incorrect, misleading, false, and/or outdated information in various records such as credit reports or health records. At scale innacuracies enter into data stores, and are difficult to root out. They can persist for years.

My rephrase of Acton's dictum cuts two ways: Data corrupts, and absolute data corrupts absolutely. That is, it both tends to corrupt the institutions, organisations, and individuals holding, accessing, or influencing it, and the information itself recorded tends to acquire errors and inaccuracies over time. Those inaccuracies will often be far more significant to the subjects of that information than the holders or collectors.

(In fact the original formulation of that phrase referred to a case of data corruption, not institutional corruption, though both were manifestly apparent at the time.)

Not at all. We've known machines are better than humans at machine-like tasks for hundreds of years. IMO responses like yours are defense mechanisms of AI researchers/enthusiasts who want to protect the illusion that they are creating things that do anything remotely resembling what the human brain does.
Seems reasonable compared to having no internet at all, especially compared to satellite internet service like DirecWay/HughesNet/Echo Star.
> I was just pointing out the parallel wasn't the US starting to raise taxes to setup a fund, the parallel would be selling some other asset the US government already does own.

Yes that is the closest parallel.

Though in the long-term it's all relative; funding is funding. The U.S. could sell its national assets to lower tax burden. Norway could sell its national assets to lower tax burden.

Or, instead of lowering the amount taxed, they could use those assets to fund a sovereign wealth fund for government benefits.

The difference here is that Catalonia is an integral part of Spain, not a colony. They are perfectly well represented in every institution, and have in fact had a central role in most governments since the end of the dictatorship. Both situations are totally different. And, by the way, they did not only break Spanish laws in their road to independence, they also broke the rules of their own regional parliament, laws they had created.
