> Heck, I hear that even professional investors, who are paid to buy stocks, are starting to take their money out of the market fearing of what might come next.

I hear that most every day, every year, every decade. There's always plenty of reasons to not invest. There's always an article in the financial news predicting imminent doom.

I ride them up, down, and back up again.
I agree, but I also think that the best engineers I work with are not the best inventors. Good engineers who get distracted and fall behind, preferring to optimize or analyze a problem that's been solved well enough to get shit done make much better inventors.

If Eli Whitney had instead built a marginally better set of brushes for slaves to work with and gone on with his day, the story of the cotton gin would be very different.
Nuclear is already viable in countries with sane regulatory environments (France, and hopefully China, given how fast they’re ramping up).

The fact that the US market structure and regulators led to unsafe and unprofitable power plants has little to do with the underlying technology.
WASM is very explicitly designed not to be another Flash Player.

My concern was that WASM would turn into another kind of Flash Player because devs would just cross-compile everything and spit out frames to a canvas instead of engaging with the web as a platform.

I'm happy that's not what Elixir, or Rust, or C++ are doing. Their approach means that the potential benefits of WASM even today are a lot higher than the potential benefits of Flash ever were. And future to plans to do things like share object and function references between WASM and Javascript push that potential even more.

If you're just concerned about taking a native C++ app and treating the web like a compile target, you've missed the point. The point is to take these languages and make them into first-class web citizens.

I have been to a few all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants and the catch at all of them was: it is only Nigiri (not sashimi) and you have to eat the rice.

I can't remember if they simply refused additional servings until the rice was gone or if they charged a la carte for un-eaten rice portions, but one way or another, the goal was you had to fill up on rice ...

The EG25 has two cores like most Android devices. One is running Qualcomm AMSS and the other a Linux kernel. The Linux side apparently converts AT into QMI messages, and provides endpoints for NMEA and other protocols.

It also uses an android bootloader and partition layout, and can support adb connections.

That's crazy. In California, most libraries are open to all California residents: you can join the San Francisco library even if you live in rural farm parts of California. Great for accessing ebooks.

> No! SQLite is not an embedded RDBMS. It's a file format.

You keep saying it's a file format, but it's quite possible to use sqlite without persisting anything to a file at all.

rc = sqlite3_open(":memory:", &db);
Wouldn't that cause friction too? I feel like it might even increase braking more if it's a busy road and people want to move faster.
My memory of the Trapper Keeper is that it wasn’t very durable and you’d be lucky if it made it through the school year. The flap was cheap and thin plastic that would tear easily. The plastic rings were also easily broken. I think I ended up just using the folders by themselves.
A Look Ahead for Nuclear Energy in 2020 (2019)
He didn’t hire them for plausible deniability.

He’s not an idiot, but he isn’t a security expert. It’s actually really difficult to evaluate the competency of security experts. He got some government guy with a flashy resume who then contracted it out to some generic business consulting firm. Which is a reasonable thing for a layperson like Bezos to do, but a bad way to get actual technical experts. He would have been far better off emailing some of the security teams at Amazon for recommendations.
Afaik Flutter is basically a Game Engine. Its not using the build in UI Toolkit instead rendering everything itself and just mimics the look of the native UI.

I'm not completely sure about it, i just now it from listening to some talks.
I have always thought that this slight cognitive dissonance was deliberate:

"A Swede stays silent" as one meaning, while suggesting "a Swedish roaring aggressiveness" as the other meaning. In wartime, I think both these would make perfect sense, and combining them into one in a simple three-word message is very effective.
I totally agree. To blame Swedes (or Germans, or Turks, or… most countries throughout human history) today for their history is pretty much the same kind of jingoism as English people today saying they “won the war”.

The history of mankind is the history of war. It’s super complicated. We all should read about it, and try to learn its lessons. One of those lessons being to be skeptical of nationalism and xenophobia.
Yes. It's not using any native UI widgets or UI code, but drawing everything itself using the lowest level API it can get, which I guess on iOS is Metal (and something for input). This means that the look and feel and the behavior and accessibility features will not match those of other apps (which do use the native toolkits), or the Flutter team will have to do a lot of reverse engineering and re-implementation to match that on each platform.
the index fund can have a losing year, but you have better control and visibility of risks when you are running the business.
Can recommend, it works well. We use that strategy a lot, and pass the savings to the server.

The portion sizes at many restaurants is just ridiculous and results in a massive waste of food and an unhealthier population.

Reduce the portions, reduce the cost, reduce the waste, reduce negative health consequences.

This appears to be a mediocre piece of undergrad "research", which is to say, the theoretical material is entirely plagiarized without citation. Even the applied analysis (Beethoven's 9th, 2nd mvt. mm. 143-172) is directly lifted from another work.

The application of group-theoretical ideas to music theory (in particular, the rules underpinning voice leading) is quite interesting, however! People have been interested in the link between symmetry and musical beauty since the time of the Pythagoreans. Looking through the modern lens of group theory shows a delightful simplicity: if you look at the world of musical operations in this way, the ones that sound best are often small deviations away from maximum symmetry.

There are far better places to start, if you're interested, covering much of the same (plagiarized!) material:

> It is important to understand these two different definitions for "serverless". When a database claims to be "serverless", be sure to discern whether they mean "classic serverless" or "neo-serverless".

It's really not important to understand that distinction, because this author seems to be the only one making it. Everyone knows what "serverless" means at this point, and it's not an embedded DB.
This is exactly the style in which I build applications these days. Most of the time I just describe it as “hella caching” but it is a different paradigm from treating the database as the primary state engine. The speed and simplicity of working on in-memory structures are great. When you outgrow a single server’s RAM capacity, you can use Kafka or another durable message queue as your application’s WAL and shard your data across multiple servers.

It uses the OS to write to the filesystem. It just does some clever management of data needing to be written. You can build your own if you are clever enough to read write to your own file format too.

If you want to build an RDBMS using SQLite as the core, you can. You can also do it using uncompressed WAV audio files if you are clever and hate yourself enough.

To use SQLite in such a scenario you simply have to write the entire RDBMS minus the file handling routines. This includes a connection pooling mechanism and a single process to isolate the connection to the SQLite file so that the OS doesn't get angry when you try to have multiple things writing to it.
My general impression is that Finland-swedes often out-swede the Sweden-swedes. =)
Interesting story. Goes to show you the falacy of writing fault tolerant systems as opposed to writing noisy systems.

Currently the process involves experimentally recording activation and trying to replicate that. It’s not as easy as it sounds, though. Organic neurons don’t have floating-point weight values, nor do neural maps propagate in the feed-forward way that makes ANNs efficient on computers.

The best approximations use Spiking Neural Networks [1] and comparatively little research is done there. And again, this is just a different propagation strategy that looks more similar to how organic brains fire. It’s not a fully accurate simulation of the complex chemical ion channels found in the real thing.

The problem is when new predators, especially widely adaptable ones such as coyotes, are introduced into an ecosystem where the prey animals have no defenses against them, they tend to outcompete everything so the populations of prey animals decline and local predators end up with less food causing both populations to decline until only the invasive one is left.

This is why introduced and invasive species of both plants and animals are a huge problem around the world. They stifle local biodiversity and you end up with monocultures.

The usefulness of the number depends on your perspective (some would say agenda)

If you want to build a library and some official tells you the place would be better used for a movie theater, you have a reference number to argue.

Some people are positing with a straight face that libraries are a thing of the past and the ROI is low now that we have amazon. Explaining libraries are useful is actually not trivial, especially as they don’t directly make money.

Slightly off topic, but equating library with “reading” is not in line with today’s libraries, which represent a lot more than a place to borrow old books.
I reckon what the author is saying however one can solve the problem of MacOS not picking up the proper scaling. I had to use a tool called SwitchResX.

My Dell 25" monitor has a native resolution of 2560x1440. You don't want to use this native resolutions as everything gets too small to comfortably read/work.

Had to input 3840 x 2160 as a 'scaled resolution' to get 1920 x 1080 HiDPI which gets you a sharp retina like experience. To be honest everything is a tad too big now but SwitchResX does somehow not save any other scaled resolution for my monitor (UP2516D / U2515H).
And if that happens, are you going to take the win, or are you going to cut off your nose to spite your face?
Even without CCS fossil can be switched to carbon neutral biomass and syn-gas for that occasional demand which is not economic to meet with oversupplied renewables, hydro and battery storage.

Nuclear promotion desperately ignores that there will be plenty of energy generated most of the time by far more economic solar, wind, hydro and storage. There will be no point to staff and run nuclear's thermal plants most of the time, its simply not a solution for occasional supply deficits.
No, SQLite provides no RDBMS functionality. It is not an RDBMS. It is a file format.

Saying that a program that opens and reads/writes a file through a file format API is a light RDBMS turns almost every program in history into an RDBMS.

If SQLite didn't force you to use SQL as the read/write logic, absolutely nobody would confuse it for an RDBMS. That's because it's a file format.

I regret not knowing that Android API is awful.

Then I regret looking into Nativescript, because it was pretty buggy.

Then I regret not knowing about Flutter earlier.

THEN I regret not knowing that Flutter is pretty buggy as well.

Next step is me trying to learn other frameworks, like Cordova or React Native. I wonder what my regrets will be.
this applies to web developers as well. too many devs on both web and mobile, so salaries are lower then rest of IT technologies. usually a web/mobile dev needs to know a lot more to make it on the same par, at which point you can argue is a full stack one anyway.
They're using SQLite as the file format for persisting data. It's a great file format for this. You can even build an RDBMS over top of uncompressed WAV files if you want. It doesn't make WAV files RDBMs.

Are the results segmenting for penniless students who went to the library to study out of "obligation" rather than leisure?
You can read/write CSV files, JSON, JPEG, WAV, MP3, MP4, etc. into memory as well. That doesn't make any of them an RDBMS.

SQLite is a file format. It has a nice API and uses SQL as the domain language for read/write logic. If it didn't use SQL for the logic, would you still be confused?
> they made this money by saving, not by (just) investing in the market

Even if you saved $20,000 a year, it would take you 50 years to save a million. But if you invested that instead, at a conservative 7% a year, you'd wind up with $9 million.

You'd pass a million after 22 years.

No, it’s possible to prove way more than what is in the report. They failed to investigate many obvious things, and they misunderstood what they did look at (the data exfiltration traffic in particular, which is the only thing even approaching circumstantial evidence). Nobody is saying we need 100% solid proof, they’re saying that what is in this report is not only not 100%, but it’s not even 25%. It’s a total nothingburger. There is nothing in this report to suggest that there is even anything wrong with this phone, or that it was ever hacked by anyone, let alone MBS.

> Gavin de Becker is a good example here. He is, or used to be, among those who enjoy some trust, at least among his profession.

Gavin de Becker is a literal nobody when it comes to iOS security or digital forensics. This is like saying that since Warren Buffet is a trustworthy source of investment advice, it makes sense to hire him to write your firewall rules.
> We're at historically normal levels of warming.

Misleading. You have to appeal to pre-history to find temperature levels similar to current.

> Eventually we'll plunge into another glacial period, and no amount of CO2 will stop it.

Eventually, i.e. 10's or 100's of thousands of years, if CO2 levels revert to preindustrial.

You are appealing to timescales of thousands of years, but the timescale relevant to the problem and our response is years and decades. Is your comment intended to minimise the problem of current warming? If so why?

So Brazil attempted to block the establishment of .amazon because of Snowden revelations that the CIA had wiretapped the president of Brazil's phone?

That seems to suggest, if that causality is correct, that if Amazon weren't an American company, Brazil wouldn't have had any objection. So it's just a naked attempt to use a private company headquartered in a nation another nation is mad at for political horse trading and ICANN made the right decision.
It seems the Chinese central government is very good at acting in broad strokes, but that is mostly done in a reactionary way after local issues have gone on for a while.

The problem is the local governments aren't inclined to report bad news and their own choices are often questionable at best.

So for situations like this it is a game of whack a mole, where they swing hard a second too late.

Agreed. A friend recently had his 40th at a nice Thai restaurant and had a buffet instead of individual orders. More expensive but there was something for everyone and I got to sample everything.

The local casino/racetrack also had a really nice all you can eat that I'd go to with friends and family just to have dinner. The variety was amazing with Asian, seafood, meats, Italian, Indian, etc. But it didn't turn a profit and closed within a few years. They had the crowds but the cost of food + the number of employees needed to serve it all was immense vs making a few grand a day from a few hundred people. Shame because I loved that buffet.

I used to enjoy the local Chinese all you can eat buffets but the quality became subpar. I visited one not far from me that I haven't been to in a good two decades and I was astonished to see the interior was exactly the same 90's chain restaurant decor down to the worn red plastic "glasses". It felt grimy and dirty and they were clearly not turning a good profit as their awning was tattered in places. It closed down last year.

In the early 2000s I made a t-shirt print with someone holding a seagull in front of a Swedish flag. The caption was "En svensk håller truten", which means both "A swede holds the seagull" and "a swede shuts up".

Seems very nice. Is there a way to search for hubs that don't have a feature? I want a hub that has ethernet, but not hdmi, for example.
oh goodness… yes, fine work, but this site rubs my hugest tech pet peeve today

There is not a single USB-C hub on this site. A USB-C hub would take one USB-C port and turn it into several USB-C ports.

These are what are called port replicators. There are no USB-C hubs in existence, which is a huge reason why the standard is still struggling.

Thank you for putting a selector for "how many USB-C ports" front and center, that at least illustrates the problem…
thinking about it more, perhaps this was the intent; being a noncombatant country, silence among the citizens was perhaps promoted as an act of fortitude in furtherance of their self-preservation, which could be associated with the character of a tiger.
MySQl, Postgres, or MongoDB still store your date in files. So there are also “just a file format”. You do have one extra step - the db server process - to access the files.
Please don't rush from the first detail that infuriates you to the HN thread to post about it. That's the opposite
of intellectual curiosity, the guiding value of this site. Curiosity looks around to see what's new; fury rushes to react to something old. It also breaks the site guidelines because (a) it will probably start a flamewar, and (b) such discussions are basically always the same. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Instead, wait until the first infuriated rush subsides, and then reflect on what a thoughtful post might say, and how it might contribute to curious conversation.

- allow people to enter keywords describing product
- allow people to enter their own affiliate id
- allow people to generate short url to dynamically generated page showing above

All above would allow people to quickly generate and share chunks of specific amazon products to their following and monetize it.

You could either produce sidebar with your own ads or just charge for such service so it would be win-win for all
