It’s valuable when fellow HN users highlight questionable details buried in User Agreements (UA). Thank you!

It would be great to hear a response from the founder on this point.

Does Github’s UA have the same requirement for all of their users software?
Clickhouse is not really time-series database, it's more general analytical DB (e.g. also can handle strings, logs, user IPs).

But if you have a lot of time-series metrics (only numbers), you might be better with specialized time-series databases like Prometheus + VictoriaMetrics with Grafana for visualizing it.
"switch expressions", "text blocks". I haven't used Java for 15 years but it's one of the most mature languages out there. I'm surprised it's only just getting these pretty standard features now.
Number of language spoken is largely a function of the environment and doesn't have much to do with intelligence. If you take a highly multilingual African and drop them in America, in two generations you will likely have mostly monolingual descendants.

gzip/gunzip, doesn't look like tar supports zip/unzip, which is a whole different algorithm.

A lot of fracking sites near me have exceptionally bright lights at night when they're being actively worked on. I suspect the brightness shown might be regular old electric lights, not just gas flares.

The only time I get a shift in thinking is when I mention what we can do with the data that thier daughter / granddaughter doesn't know she is sharing..

Most older people don't care if I can see the sites they visit, their purchase history, pics on their phone.. but when you start to explain the things you can do with the data their daughter / granddaughter is creating - they get quiet. The NTYtimes article about the teen who was pregnant and Target knew it before her dad and the baby daddy.. that was the start of some eye opening - but most have not read it.

Anecdotal maybe but so common at the same time (we have stats on schools and universities, massive and now old data, and it's pretty clear writing notes helps). I think both the Bayesian and the frequentist agree, here.

And this is possibly a fantastic insight into how brain-memory actually works.
I guess that the two factors requirement depends on location, as here I can swipe my card anywhere, and at most I need to do a small squiggle and I'm good.

Also, on the net I'm free to use my card, no squiggle required. I do have to provide PII beyond what's on the card, but nothing that is really secret to anyone but me.
I really hate how the order of "Images Video Maps .." changes on Google depending on the query. The UI shuffling around unpredictably makes it that much harder to find anything from positional memory.

Maybe they select a chat and have to read through the ToS as well?

This is a lot more convoluted than any IRC web-client I've seen the last decade.

And their 1k user chat room has as much activity as the 30 people IRC ones I'm connected to, and is the sahara desert compared to the larger ones. IT doesn't help to have a user list of 1k and no way to show the active users you actually interact with.

For anyone struggling with dynamic typing in Clojure, thinking it's impossible to manage and even harder to build confidence in your code, please look at Spec and Orchestra. You can easily build predicative contracts for all of your data and know as soon as anything "goes wrong" in terms of your data shapes.

I think everyone using Clojure JVM, ClojureScript, or Clojure CLR should be doing this.
It does indeed. Thanks for your reply.

As an aside - one thing I find interesting is that Altium seems to be the premier SCH/PCB format supported by companies like yours. Guessing that's because Altium is a more open SW standard, and is used by more business of the size a company like yours would prefer to target. More succinctly: Altium seems like where the money is at.

Do you have any theories as to why more companies don't choose KiCAD or other open tool in lieu of Altium? It seems to me there is a lot KiCAD can do, and there's very little Altium does that KiCAD does not. Do you choose to support KiCAD with the thought that the market will eventually move to free tools like that?
Does this mean some abstraction is lost between the creation phase and final "save to pdf" phase? It'd seem ridiculous to not easily be able to track blocks while it's a WIP.....
Most importantly, programmers of the 2020's shouldn't be making these decisions.

Wether you choose to pass by reference or copy, that should just indicate your desired semantics. The underlying compiler can decide if it's really worth making a copy or not.

Sadly most compilers won't elide out most unnecessary copy operations, even when performance would be improved to do so.

> But what is the alternative? Letting things run rampant because you didn't want to impose upon peoples human rights?

Yes this is the alternative. We trade security, another form of it in this case, for freedom. I didn't think the author made a very good case for "living hell", or for that matter have a very good list of egregious things the govt did. But they made a good point at the end with "one day you may be the price that is paid".

Anyway the US won't have to face the issue as China did because it will arrive everywhere if it gets bad, not one starting point that can be contained. And then all the govt here has to do is scare people enough with warnings of danger to lock things down pretty well. Fears of liability will do most of the rest when it comes to schools and other things shutting down.
All the example code and prebuilt charts are outdated due to using old versions of D3 or other dependencies and essentially have to be rebuilt from scratch

> Now imagine - it's the early 13th century. You're sitting inside the Hagia Sophia. Marble pillars rise up around you. Dusty light filters into the windows in the massive dome above.

The Hagia Sophia was also a great tool for the Byzantine Emperors to convert other leaders to Orthodox Christianity. There are stories of various leaders being so overcome by the experience of a mass in the Hagia Sophia that they embraced Orthodox Christianity and became allies of the emperor.
It's obvious to me that you haven't read the article.

You read the article title.

Don't be so lazy.
Using the `match` method, you can guarantee that in the `some()` branch, v is not null, and will never be null.

In the `if == null` method, the `something` reference is null, but if you have functions that also reference `something` down the line, you're going to have to check it again for null-ness.
Would anybody be upset about that? Well, apart from those that profit from such publishing models, I can't think or know of anybody else. But I'm open to input upon that as always.
> So passwords are also two factors because you must be physically present and have a text input device?

No, password is 1 factor. An input device <> YOUR input device which you had to specifically configure/authorise to enable for NFC based payments or banking on your app. You cannot log in with your FaceID on any iphone which has your bank’s app installed and then do payments. You must have the app on your device and initially authenticate with much stronger credentials before your phone is then permitted to use FaceID subsequently. This is only allowed on the premise/assumption that you would have never done it on a stranger’s device and therefore your personal device or to say the possession of it is seen as an additional factor after initial setup.

You could incorporate that in a quorum blockchain like Stellar (or Ripple I guess), but the whole point of those is that they remove the need for PoW so that's a bit useless. Maybe it's a cool way to build trust in such a network though..
Looks fantastic, congrats on the launch. Using git for versioning and PCB development has been nearly unworkable. So nice to see a visually-oriented solution.
Then I will repeat myself more bluntly. Any alarm that would trigger on the annual seasonal flu or on merely the standard background death rate is a meaningless alarm and is therefore alarmist, so no, 5,000 to 10,000 deaths does not clear the threshold.
SEEKING WORK | London or remote | Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer, tech lead.

20 years experience building and operating online services, including at Facebook, major ISPs and many startups.

My core skillset is in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Linux, AWS, GCP and Kubernetes, but over time I've been involved in most aspects of architecting, building, running and scaling online services. Keen interest in the business / product areas as well.

I was one of the first 6-7 Facebook SRE hires in Europe (2010-2011), have experience at many startups and before that in larger orgs in the ISP/hosting world.

Happy to provide hands-on DevOps expertise to solve your infrastructure / performance / cost / reliability challenges. I can also be relied on for technology vision, systems design, technical operations, mentoring and general engineering wisdom. I excel at understanding short vs long-term trade-offs, identifying performance bottlenecks & future technical debt, quickly learning and assessing new pieces of technology.

Available for freelance assignments (part-time / short-term projects welcome), but I'll also consider full-time for principal roles (head of infrastructure, DevOps lead, co-founder / CTO / VP Eng ) at startups.

Sure. But it's now Tuesday. They should have gone back and edited in links to all the relevant documentation.
By begging the question!
AFAIR Turing hatch was opened before SFINAE; I remember playing with early template metaprogramming examples as a kid (computing a factorial, etc.) which amounted to what the adult me now recognizes as Lisp's cond, that is generalized if-elseif-else. SFINAE only added more places into which you could shove compile-time conditionals.
Drought is still a "typical" condition. (I.e. one from its environment, from the last hundreds of thousands of years or so.) Selection pressure worked on that. Yes, it may be a condition that makes 10%, 50% or 90% percent of the population to die - and it is not a problem, in the grand scheme of things.

Not normal conditions are things that were never tested, or never tested to that extend. E.g. an invasive species from a different continent, a chemical compound, different pH of water, etc. Consequently, many species die out completely - as there is not enough time for the selection of better-fitted genes for this setting.

Also: compare with machine learning, and giving a sample out of the training dataset distribution (all photos are shot in good light, give one in the dark). Usually, the answer is meaningless.
I like to imagine a future where all pedestrians move about like they're from the ministry of silly walks to thwart gait analysis.
I wouldn't be quite so fatalist - if there is a strong push for getting rid of seasonal time shifts then, if congress refuses this request, there will probably be a pretty big stink.

Non-binding resolutions are non-binding... but they also represent the will of the people and politicians that gleefully ignore non-binding resolutions do so with a risk of failing to be re-elected.

I agree with what John said and I have responded to his comment. These kind of terms should definitely be highlighted. I apologize that we adapted this term in our User Agreement and it was a mistake. I will make sure we fix it. I would also like to assure that we will be careful in future regarding these kind of terms so we fulfill the mission of empowering open-hardware truly.

Best, Usama - Founder of InventHub
Yeah ... this seems like a bit of a truism. Humans evolved in "the world". That implies that we are at least somewhat adapted to said world. What would be surprising is if we were not somewhat adapted to perceive the world. Saying that we have some adaptations to perceive the world is about as novel as claiming water is wet.
You'd have some of that either way, since required accounts and people acknowledging terms is something Mozilla explicitly wanted here.

Yes, the freedom to fire workers for what others might consider "stupid reasons" is a core conservative value, stack ranking included.

Hi there,

I'm from Chrome, someone on my team pointed me at this thread. My team supports casting features in Chrome. This is a fantastic project and it's great to see energy around this.

I get the frustration around the inability to make devices work together for casting. In the standards community, we have been working with other companies and researchers on a protocol [1] that provides the groundwork for interoperability in media streaming and media control on the Web between browsers/apps and devices. We are developing an open source implementation and plan to see it in future products.

There's a lot of other work going on in the Web standards community as well, that in the near future will allow Web apps to create their own media codec pipelines and streaming protocols customized to their needs [2] [3].

[1] https://w3c.github.io/openscreenprotocol/
[2] https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs
[3] https://github.com/WICG/web-transport (client/server), https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-quic/ (P2P)

If you have suggested use cases or questions engaging on GitHub through the standards repos is a great way to get involved or you can email public-secondscreen@w3.org.

This specific pattern can be re-written as

incidentally.
> Languages like Rust that don't even know null (or nil as in Go), have finally solved the problem.

I wouldn't quite phrase it that way, since it's nothing new. OCaml from the 1990s has no null value (you need to represent potentially missing values with Option). I suspect there are older examples than that.
ORC or Parquet are file storage formats so without context their performance can be almost anything. Where is the data stored? S3? HDFS? Local ram disk?

Clickhouse manages the whole distributed storage, ram caching, etc. thing for you.

In my experience, a unified single purpose vertically integrated solution will be faster than a bunch of kitchen sink solutions bolted together.
That basically works like the concept of "culture" in the Civilization video games. If you have more "culture" you gain all sorts of upper hands over the other players.

(I know the comparison is rather silly)
I think of influx performance as similar to pandas. It's fast enough for many things it was designed for, but it's pretty easy to hit a performance cliff. In particular, "select * from table" type queries are very slow, so don't expect to be pulling out large blocks of data to do analysis somewhere else.

However, influx, being schemaless, can be outstanding for rapidly prototyping ephemeral metrics, as adding a new measurement is zero-cost (just start writing it). It also plays great with grafana for building dashboards. Finally, I much prefer the ergonomics enhancements of the influx query language (v1, the v2 "flux" language looks terrible to me personally), particularly how duration strings are a first-class datatype ("group by time(1h)").

Interested to hear more about clickhouse performance, haven't had a chance to use it for anything where performance would matter significantly, although am aware it can be very fast.
Panic gets a bad rap. It is much better to panic early, when you have the leisure to plan ahead with abundant resources. Panic becomes bad late in the game when resources are constrained and there is not time to implement or optimize a plan. In short: The time to panic is now.
There’s 3DS and other secure schemes to move away from weak card payments such as the one which you described. Merchants are being penalised with fees for accepting non 3DS or Verified by Visa secured cards at the moment.
Rust does not have nil objects nor zero values.

The equivalent rust code would fail to compile.
No, Clickhouse doesn't support UPDATEs, and schema changes are even harder than in classic SQL DBs. But we love it anyway :)

A journal is just a tool - like a shovel or hammer. Perhaps you can use a journal to expand on creative ideas and ambitions, instead of reflecting on deep hurtful feelings.
