I have recently watched two of Gupta's videos about grocery shopping and disinfecting groceries, and they were light entertainment, with very little practical value.

There can be little difference between the virus reaching your lips by coming in contact with recently handled food or your hands. Restaurant food is absolutely an infection vector, we're just in the phase where we pretend it not to be for economic reasons.

Wipe or wash groceries properly, not like in his videos, and stay away from food that was recently in contact with people outside your household and that cannot be properly cleaned, such as fast food.

Here are the videos:

This still require change across the codebase, where the db migration is fairly, the most simply step.

But:

Is similar to "static VS dynamic" where the change in rdbms come BEFORE the new data and in most nosql AFTER.

If somehow the data come in a "progressive do changes pls" then is clear the way most db schemas are, is harder with BEFORE.

So, yeah, exist places that a specialized store make more sense. But just say "is harder" invite this critique, and worse, in the minds of inexperience developers (that are the ones that deploy blind) could lead to "get out of a rdbms, are old and bad!", when in fact is much better, most of time.

ALSO:

> Restricting direct access to rigid RDBMs and making data modeling easier via graphs is why....

The relational model could handle that. BUT, the implementation inside rdbms is just a subset of the full potential. One example: You can't embed tables in tables.

And relational/sql engine have weak support for hierarchies and graph, despite the fact you see sql on top of other non-relational engines.

I'm building a relational lang in the spare time, and without the constrain of fit the(traditional) rdbms is clear the db guys need to up their game!
I listen to educational podcasts as I’m going to sleep at night and while I don’t retain everything, I do remember some of it and that’s time I’d otherwise have spent staring at the ceiling or whatever.

I’ve actually collected quite a large number of podcasts that hit my sweet spot of being just interesting enough to engage my attention but not interesting enough to keep me awake.
This is a classic example of how affiliate marketing is generally bad for businesses. For a local restaurant it may seem appealing to only pay for demand generated, but your partners are better than you at intercepting your existing demand and charging for it. If you have a trademark on the brand you would be able to get Google to take down the advertisements. If businesses are looking to generate demand, paying on a CPM basis via FB for example is a better outcome.
I don't read mine at all (talking about a personal server here[0]), because there's a huge amount of noise. The email alerts for it go to a mail folder that I literally never look at, because it gets hundreds of emails per day.

If I only got an email per week or so, I'd probably not filter them to a folder, and actually look at them.

There's lots of news about people getting manhandled by police because they don't have a mask on.

Of course, in wealthier areas, there are stories about the police handing out masks to people that aren't wearing them.

So I think we are handling it in a very US way.
If we could somehow confirm that most (>95%) of gastro based infections result in mild symptoms, I wonder if that would be one way (although not a great way) to "immunize" the public vs a vaccine? Swallow the pill containing the virus and let it run its course to develop immunity?

Damn, that's a shame. From what other people say when they advocate non-22, they make me believe it would be a lot less. Oh well.
Sounds interesting. Any more detail on what Mozilla sees broken about the internet and what a company would be doing to fix it? Your link gives some example types of companies but doesn't really define the mission. "Positive impact" is completely subjective. I have ideas about what this is all about but would like to see it defined by Mozilla better.
I don't get it, yes false positive removals are an issue worth discussing, but does it really warrant a whole WSJ front page article? Could WSJ make it any more obvious that they have a vendetta against tech companies and are just grasping at whatever hit piece they can get their hands on?
Yeah, pointed it to the crx, set it to force install and nothing happens.

If I install the crx locally it works fine. No way of seeing any logs to troubleshoot, pinged a message to our reseller but that method is looking like a dead end.
This is absurd. Even if domestic supply falters (i'm unconvinced we wouldn't be able to quickly turn it around if need be, as we have multiple times in the past decade), KSA is still not a major international source of US oil.

> Sure, I wish I could have used a library. Unfortunately, once you start adding requirements, the options start to vanish. It needs to be a C (or C-callable) library. It needs to accept input as Unicode strings (lines), not just files on disk, or bytes. It needs to return results line-at-a-time. It needs to have a compatible license. It needs to support the same package manager as I'm using (or be a trivial to include, like a single file). It needs to be reliable (essentially bug-free, or at the very least currently maintained). It needs to be fairly efficient. What library supports all these?

I always thought people just used libcsv in cases like this. If that's missing something though, then I believe my Rust csv library[1] would be good enough if I added a C API, which would be pretty easy and I would be happy to do it if it really filled a niche. I think the only hurdle at that point would be whether you could tolerate a Rust compiler in your build dependencies.

If you do make it monthly, my recommendation is posting it on the 15th of every month, to stagger it with the other regular threads. This way you don't make the start of the month a scramble of postings.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the container transition introduces any additional copies and hops. Containers are not VMs. They just use isolation that the kernel enforces. Whether you send a packet from inside or outside a container to the network should be exactly the same amount of work unless you opt-in to run some extra software-level NAT step.

A couple of things to consider:

1. There's a real social cost associated with constantly subjecting human reviewers to traumatizing content. It can lead to devastating mental health problems. (some relevant articles: https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebo..., https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2019/12/16/youtube-mo...)

2. Humans make mistakes as well, especially as volume of content increases and policies get more nuanced.

3. There's way more violating content then you could ever imagine. As just one example, YouTube reported having to remove >1.8 BILLION comments for spam or other policy violations in 2019 (https://transparencyreport.google.com/youtube-policy).

4. The large tech companies spend billions on human moderation as it is. YouTube alone for example has >10,000 full time human reviewers. (https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/12/expanding-our-work-ag...)
As someone who came into development after the Coffeescript wave I’m interested to know: how much did it feel like the future?

Was it always an early adopter, “look how forward we are” kind of thing, or was it just popular with Rubyists?

Even in your example TSV wins.
> Care about your work. Care about your project.

I think this is the crux of many problems plaguing software development today.

Unless you're at a brand-spanking-new startup or have been handed the keys to an exciting greenfield project, you're going to be on a legacy project. Which means a combination of adding new features to a pile of cruft, or fixing bugs in that pile of cruft.

This is where it becomes problematic: no one stays at a company longer than a year or two. Industry compensation does not work in the favor of the person dedicating years to a single company and/or project. Which means there is a built in don't-give-a-shit factor to every software project today. Not that the rockstar coders of yesterday ever gave much of a crap of the quality of code they left in their wake, but industry incentives turn us all into code monkeys. And if you happen to be the guy or girl that cares and is staying at the company many years, you'll surely witness a parade of ladder climbers come and go and absolutely destroy the quality of your hard work and effort.

I could go on about title inflation, and the fact that only about 1 in 5 devs is, in my book, truly a senior today. But we're way off topic now.
'Both the Justice Department and a group of state attorneys general are likely to file antitrust lawsuits against Alphabet Inc.’s Google—and are well into planning for litigation, according to people familiar with the matter.

'The Justice Department is moving toward bringing a case as soon as this summer, some of the people said. At least some state attorneys general—led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican—are likely to file a case, probably in the fall, people familiar with the matter said.

'Much of the states’ investigation has focused on Google’s online advertising business. The company owns the dominant tool at every link in the complex chain between online publishers and advertisers. The Justice Department likewise is making Google’s ad technology one of its points of emphasis. But it is also focusing more broadly on concerns that Google uses its dominant search business to stifle competition, people familiar with the matter said.

'Details about the Justice Department’s legal theories for a case against Google couldn’t be learned.'
Yes, but it involves spending more money.

Same chance as getting a signing bonus or company car or them paying extra for a recruitment agency I'd say. For a company it's an expense just taxed differently. I once got such a package consisting of immigration lawyer + flight cost + rental car one month + furnished appartment one month + shipping my stuff, about 12.000 USD total. The HR department called it package and all was organized by a separate company specialized in that. At least the big companies deal with this multiple times per year if not per month.
Our gates are open, and we should adhere to that principle, but similar to free speech, we should make clear reasonable conduct. In other words, do not think your sharing is acceptable without some merit.

A good example of this was a recent 15 year old that wrote a blog post about lessons in being a developer that really should only have been written by someone with a minimum of five years of professional experience (and I’m being lenient, probably should be 7-8).

By principle we encourage the open gate, but If the growing trend is you are fresh out of college or a bootcamp graduate and write up a whole article on microservices and why or why not a business should use them, then our implicit guidelines are too ignorable.

The community should want sharing, but with integrity. We don’t want people sharing because of the concocted identity of a developer who must surely also write authoritative/instructor blog posts. This should be discouraged implicitly, and given the climate of lack of integrity based sharing (eg I worked 5 years, let me show you how to set up a scalable business model), then we must be more explicit until those behaviors change.

Open gate regardless.
I just live for the drama of not using the Wii-mote wrist strap while bowling.
From a user perspective, what we find the graph dynamism is more important for Self-Serve Analytics, like a fast-moving data science or analyst or dev team, than for DBAs.

So a diff perspective:

DBA SCHEMA CHANGE
- Relational: Admins alter the schema and devs maybe run a migration
- Graph: Projects start untyped, but almost all Graphistry has helped are effectively & ultimately typed & locked. So ends up working same as relational. (Ex: ProjectDomino.org took just maybe 1mo before the neo4j DBA locked the schema to avoid inadvertent value pollution.)

DYNAMIC QUERIES
Once a bunch of entity types and relationships get involved, you build up a zoo of tables. This is painful for adding data ("new dataset X needs schema Y, or subtypes into existing table Z by dynamic type field A + generic data stuffed into field metadata"), and much worse, given some data, trying to figure out how it indexes across 20+ tables. Three examples: an Infosec Jupyterthon talk was about how to make sense of OSQuery's ~100 different tables for OS logs, a genetics friend got onboarded to a DB with 30 tables & views they know nothing about, and in Project Domino, you can do all sorts of things with URLs and Topics across our datasets & analyses.

Relational is great for a rigid CRUD app. But once you hit analytics, you get swamped with data integration tasks (discovery, linking, fusion, ...), and tables become a PITA. Formally, graph queries like ("everything 1 step out") gives you genericity in quantification where SQL forces you to know the exact table name & field name ahead of time.
Tech companies need to be held accountable for their actions by someone. That's always been journalism's job. As long as they don't print lies, I don't see the issue.
The opposite reaction was one surprising thing when masks came around. A groups of people getting angry on cool looking masks like "mask is not a fashion statement".
I'm a massive proponent of the graph model, but the the RDBMS fans have it right here: the schema change is trivial in both cases; the hard part is managing the roll out of those changes to prevent outage on the application you are actually selling.
If there's NAT involved (as was posited in the start of the thread), then you can't just copy, you also need to modify.

I think the conversation needs to change a bit. People just don't care in the current state. I've been toying with the idea of calling all this (seo/ads/blogspam/content marketing and the auto-twitter-bot-ira-shill-to-cause-controversy-and-mass-media-parroting-it-feedback-loop) "internet pollution" in order to get average joes to think about it differently.

Software is bigger than just the web. You can be your own lawyer or your own medical doctor without a license, but it’s generally a bad idea. Even lawyers know better than that and hire other lawyers to represent them.

You do realize that the original Pushbullet issue arose from Google trying to be even more strict and reduce the amount of malware, right? And even with all that, as you mention, CWS is still full of malware.

What hope does any other store then have to create a malware free web store if even Google can't? And if they allow installation from anywhere, do you realize that whatever state we are in now, it would be orders of magnitude worse?

If there is some way to get malware into your computer, someone out there will make you do it. That's exactly why installing extensions is so locked down. I don't understand how people think that it will magically all be better if users were given full access to install whatever from wherever. Have you never in your life interacted with an average non-poweruser?

Although I disagree with the title of this essay, I think it's very well written and makes many excellent points...

Coding could be either fun or work, it could be heaven or it could be hell (note that this is true about just about anything in life) -- what makes it one or the other is a complex set of conditions and circumstances... I have experienced it firsthand being both, just at different times, in different circumstances, under different conditions...

Reminds me of some song lyrics:

"There she stood in the doorway,

I heard the mission bell,

And I was thinkin' to myself,

'This could be heaven or this could be hell...'"

Considering how many software is still not optimised on ARMv8. I think this is a pretty damn impressive results especially for Web workloads. And ARM's roadmap promise another 30% increase in IPC later this year. I would not be surprised to see Amazon have Graviton 3 this time next year.

I am also wondering if Google and Microsoft will go the same route. And if Nvidia has any plan for this market.

Connecting fields of study by discovering common underlying structures and principles is among the most rewarding methods of inquiry.

Amazon and Facebook should be next. Break them all up with extreme prejudice and put strict new anti-trust laws around acquisitions in place for the future.

Thanks! Glad the timing didn't feel stressful. I've had some people say they don't generally like timed games but when it was game over here they felt it was fair instead of blaming the game - seems a decent thing to aim for.

You actually get an extra second before your time runs out to increase the chance of "just in time" saves. :)
I would be happy to. I looked at peertube but didn't pull the trigger and instead went to YouTube. I think the upload limits held me back. I went through a lot of sites and some would not have video descriptions, some would have no monetization methods, others no audience. I'll definitely be dropping and email, I think the 5k would be best spent adding monetization and discovery features for creators though.
It doesn't have to be, but tooling and initial design matters a lot. I've done a lot of significant migrations this year (changing schemas of hundreds of millions of rows in postgres) in a downtime-free, non-breaking way, but there were two big pieces:

- separate internal schemas from external ones, so you can change the internals while maintaining your interface contract. Your database has an API whether you realize it or not, so treat it like one. I literally have schemas like "api" and "api_v2".

- use a great migration tool. I've been using sqitch, which I love because it encourages me to think about how to _verify_ each migration does the correct thing. Tie that into CI/CD in a nice way and DB migrations are no longer scary

That probably downplays the effort; as someone who's never done DBA work before, I've had to learn a lot about PL/pgSQL, transaction isolation levels, role management, etc. for the first time. I think I'm better for it, though, and I've quite enjoyed going beyond query-writing.
