This came up in a thread a few days back, but people considering it should note that Dynamo’s transactions are limited to 25 rows. That may be enough for most operations, but I definitely wouldn’t say it can handle “any transactional workload”. I ran into this limit pretty quickly when trying it out.
There are two X clipboards. They are implemented differently (as in "ownership" model of the content) and the implementation bleeds out everywhere.

You can't remove or change this behavior because some people love it.

EDIT: FWIW the above statements are oversimplifying the situation of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_selection

And more here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13585/how-can-i-use...

Most fans of Linux will claim the fact that you can choose any number of clipboard managers to customize things to your liking is a critical aspect that draws them to the platform.

Others among us (whether reformed or uninitiated) will commonly cite this same stuff as the reasons we avoid Linux on the desktop.
Peter Thiel had the idea of allowing student loan debt to be dischargable in bankruptcy to the university that granted the degree. Seems like a reasonable idea to me.
Yes, you can only have your account associated with 1 store.

You won't lose the apps you have installed but

1. They won't update until you switch back so you'll likely need to switch 2 to 4 times a year as your bank and/or other services deprecates their old apps.

2. Switching requires manually re-entering your name, address, phone number, and credit card info every time.

3. Any subscriptions you have via Apple Pay will be cancelled.

Thanks Apple!

And note: While the average person does not have bank accounts in 2 countries I've run into plenty of apps I needed as a tourist that are only available on that country's store. For example the Lime app is not available in the Japanese store because Lime isn't in Japan but if I'm visiting a country with Lime then I want to be able to use the Lime app so I need to switch stores.

Meanwhile my Switch lets me have multiple user accounts. Each user's account can be assigned to a different country so I can buy The Touryst from the USA store and Japan exclusives from the Japan store. (not saying 2 accounts are the best solution it's just surprising that a Nintendo device does this part better than Apple)

Giving a dangerous drug to healthy people (presumably thousands of them, to be statistically useful), on no real evidence of efficacy, would be ethically dubious, to say the least.
It's wrong question. The correct one is "Who is NOT making money because of this generic drug that cost $0.04 per dose?"
Exactly. What, you think these hucksters like Laura Ingraham are going to apologize for their dangerous bullshit (spoiler - no: https://www.thedailybeast.com/laura-ingraham-trashes-promisi... )? Of course not. Apologies are for losers, instead when the facts are against you, you just double down and demonize those who try to convince you with those facts as nefarious enemies.

Those of us who live in the world of reality need to realize the only way to fight this "demon haunted world" is to make a scarier demon, not try to fight with facts.

For whiteboarding, I prefer Whimsical (whimical.co) over Figma or Mural. It's focused on digramming, wireframing, and mind-mapping; it's an absolute joy to use. Blazing fast, simple, and stays out of your way.

For context, I spend much of my day designing in Figma, which I love as well, but not for whiteboard-style collaboration.

Macrolides appear to be antibiotics like the azithromycin part of the very well-known trio HCQ + azithromycin "ZPac" + zinc. People have been discussing this trio for two or three full months now and there is no excuse for these scientists not to be aware of that. Even President Trump's famous statement a few days ago that he is taking HCQ mentions all three together. From their paper, these scientists appear to be skilled, but at the same time they are either disastrously ignorant of the space they are researching, or this paper is yet another propaganda job trying to convince people that HCQ is ineffective in any regimen (which maybe it is, but this paper does not show that).

So they should go completely counter to the way that businesses traditionally function and keep something in a lab for potentially decades instead of shipping a "good enough" solution that can be fixed along the way?

You're thinking of a government that has rational people in charge. We have an extended family running one branch and a party holding on to power by its fingernails in the Senate. Look at the latest developments in the Inspector General purge. Trump is firing his 5th (6th? I lost count) IG, and illegally installing the replacement before the last one has been officially processed out. The new one is still an employee of the department, which not only compromises the whole idea, but exposes whistleblower complaints to management. The Senate hasn't even called a hearing about it.

I don't mean to argue over any details, just pointing out that our federal government has had an axe taken to it for the last few years and it might not be able to do very obvious things right now.

> Eastern medicine that works would also be labeled as just medicine.

That sounds a lot like the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. If you define "medicine" as "anything that works", then of course "alternative medicine" is crap, by definition.

One big problem with being this dismissive is that a lot of medicine started out as "alternative" and then was scientifically confirmed over time.
Was this done in the study linked?

All doctors I’ve seen promote hydroxychloroquine have been adamant that it must be administered early in the disease’s progression in order to have any effect.

But most of the studies being performed that I’ve heard of, have explicitly been on late-stage patients. This includes the central EU study.

It would be tragic if the drug works when administered early, but all the studies have happened at a late stage, incorrectly disqualifying a treatment that can save many lives.

The use case is additional revenue streams for appliance makers from selling surveillance derived data. Every smart tv is a revenue stream for the manufacturer. That's why you can't buy dumb tvs anymore.

Soon your coffee maker, your toothbrush, your car, your refrigerator, and everything else that plugs in or has a battery will be "smart" in the same way.

Not likely. According to the research I've seen, the half-life of DNA nucleotide bonds in fossilized samples is on the order of a few hundred thousand years. But that's the half-life of each bond, which means sequences of non-trivial length will become fragmented much more quickly. After 110 million years, it seems very unlikely that anything sequenceable still exists, even in trace amounts.

That doesn't help with self-written code, however, since you can't notarize without internet either.

Any of the low-end Wacom tablets would do the trick, and you don't need the current model. Previous to the move to "everything is an Intuos now (and the Intuos all become Intuos Pro because 'Pro')", that would have been the Bamboo Creative, and before that the Graphire. All of them are well more than good enough for the task at hand, and if you can pick up old stock (or used) cheaply, go for it. Note, though, that if you've never used a tablet before, it'll take a bit before your movements coordinate - I've always suggested trying to live as much as possible using the tablet in lieu of mouse or trackpad for about a week. Once you've got the knack, it's pretty much with you for life, but it's easy to give up in frustration when you're not used to absolute positioning that's remote from the screen until the moment it all just sort of clicks.

@CydeWeys I never claimed to be an expert. I am human trying to survive on this planet like everyone else. I take in as much information as I can, with an open mind, and make the best choices I am able to.

Are you suggesting I should trust everything the government, media, or scientists says whole cloth simply because I am not an expert? Sorry, that is not how I operate or ever will operate. I take information on all sides of every topic seriously and come to the best conclusion I can for myself and I share what I’ve seen and learned with others.

I'd say gaming on Ubuntu LTS (if not Linux in general) is quite easy provided you stay in the safe haven of games that natively support the OS, which to be fair is a pretty solid selection of games these days albeit one which is pretty much a strict subset of the games on Windows. As soon as you go outside that area and start messing with Wine or whatever all bets are off, though.

A great demonstration of how unity is bloated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tInaI3pU19Y

Unity is targeting students and gamedev wannabees. You don't make a game with a framework. Programming is not simple. Same debate of framework vs libraries.

I'm even against Godot, which you cannot even use as a rendering library. You end up being too dependent on those platforms and all their assets and plugins.

Of course if you intend to make a game that's not too ambitious, if it revolves around the graphics, unity might be ok, but it's just a sophisticated RPG maker 3D.

I strongly advise against learning unity or godot. A huge problem is that unity/unreal made it difficult for classic engines/renderers to keep thriving, and it's hard to find a good engine nowadays. There are some, of course, but their community is non-existent, which makes things much harder in open source.

For something purporting to be the current consensus of evidence-based medicine, it sure lacks the usual hallmarks of scientific inquiry: openness, transparency, review.

Edited to add: Plus, that anonymous Google doc doesn't even represent the latest research, because the Raoult paper (under the heading "12 April 2020") has already been retracted:

> one would think it would be optimized for repeat schema

I don't think that's the problem Mongo is designed to solve. Mongo's promise was the ability to work with un- and semi- structured data, and it would make sense if its optimizations were focused on that problem, not on reducing overhead when someone tries to strongarm it into being MySQL.

Generally speaking, if your data is structured well enough that you can define a schema ahead of time, you're better off with a traditional RDBMS, because that's the problem an RDBMS is designed to solve.

That seems likely; it would be quite risky for a doctor to actually prescribe it to him.
Okay, I've tried this test on my MacBook Air 2020 several times, first by saving the "echo Hello" shell script in an editor and then, because I wasn't getting the results the author experienced, trying again exactly as he wrote it. Essentially the same result:

airyote% chmod a+x /tmp/test.sh
airyote% time /tmp/test.sh && time /tmp/test.sh

Is it possible that Allan Odgaard, as good a programmer as he unquestionably is, has something configured suboptimally on his end? Because it just strikes me as super unlikely that Apple has modified all the Unix shells on macOS to send shell scripts off to be notarized. (From what I've read, while shell scripts can be signed, they can't be notarized, and Gatekeeper is not invoked when you run a shell script in Terminal -- although it is invoked if you launch a "quaurantined" shell script from Finder on the first run, but it treats the shell script as an "executable document." This is the way this has worked for years, as I can find references to it in books from 2014.)

I have my complaints with macOS Catalina, and I know that Apple's "tighten all the screws" approach to security is anathema to a lot of developers (and if there was a big switch that I could click to disable it all, I probably would), but I'm using Macs running Catalina every day and I gotta admit, they just don't seem to be the dystopian, unlivable hellscape HN keeps telling me they are. At least off the top of my head, I can't think of anything I was doing on my Macs ten years ago that I can't do on my Macs today. ("Yes, but doing it today requires an extra step on the first run that it didn't used to" may be inconvenient, but that's not the same thing as an inability to perform a function -- and an awful lot of complaints about modern Macs seem to be "the security makes this less convenient." There's an argument to be had about whether Catalina's security model strikes the right balance, of course.)
Test before upgrade.

There is one risk for this migration - versioning has changed a bit between 9.6 and 10 and some libraries have an issue with that. (They need to be updated.)
Whats your opinion on postgres vs nosql like cassandra and aerospike, fundamentally is there any reason that postgres can't scale as well as nosql?

An issue I've been dealing with forever on my mbp 2013 is the machine just pausing input for 2-4 secs (video and audio don't hitch, just keyboard/mouse input).

I recently took the trouble to completely wipe the disk and reinstall macos mojave and it's still happening so it's not due to cruft installed over time in OSX. I dunno. I'll deal with it until it gives up the ghost and probably move to a windows machine with the work they're putting into WSL2
I studied a different Engineering, not CS, so never really had any course (besides basic C). I've read quite a bit and understand the normalization forms, but it's more from a practical sense. What data should we include, how to structure it so that it's not too complex, but doesn't come back biting me, etc.

A good example (but not only!) is login. You can have just user session, or session+token in DB, or session + devices (1 active token/device), etc. So maybe seeing business problems and how the DB was structured to help would be the best here.

> The problem comes that developers want to have it version controlled.

Oh maybe that's the reason I found those so tricky. I don't explicitly care about VCS, but I definitely care about migrations going wrong, and hopefully being able to revert if it goes wrong. Maybe if I get myself comfortable enough with manual migrations this is not such a huge topic though.
I've been seeing the trajectory of Windows (pre-2012 or so) -> Mac (2012 - ~2019 or so) -> Linux (~2018 - now) play out with quite a few people without any issues.

And I don't mean developers. They're all pretty educated people but it's taken me by surprise. They come to me in frustration over Mac, they don't want to return to Windows and they really, really, really want linux. I've been using linux since about 1997 so they come to me. I usually push back, thinking "do you really want a unix workstation?!" but they insist.

My strategy has been some x2xx lenovo (like x230 or so) for about $300 from ebay, 8/16gb of ram or so with an SSD, the extended battery pack, putting mint on it and then just handing it over. Everyone, much to my continued surprise, has loved it and are really happy with it.

It's happened 4 times now and I'm still shocked every time. They've told me they use youtube to figure things out.

They're fine with libreoffice, gimp does what they need, supposedly spotify works on it fine, they don't know what bash or the kernel is and it's all fine. Incredible.
amznymous here.

You're right. The proportional compensation is something I was very wrong about.

At the time, I was also in debt due to being straight out of college and having been dumb AF with money (student loans, car, & credit cards) and so owing anything would've been bankrupting.

It was so easy to be stupid with money when you're making an engineer's salary.

Not shifting blame, I did that debt to myself and I dug myself out of it after educating myself.

Just giving more context.
It takes less than five seconds for my Windows 10 to go from asleep to ready for work, and that includes logging in with Windows Hello (the fingerprint reading is crazy fast).
> The Gatekeeper behavior is specific to running things from Finder (not Terminal), and only if you downloaded it via a browser that sets the com.apple.quarantine xattr.

The article says the described problem isn't limited in this way:

> This is not just for files downloaded from the internet, nor is it only when you launch them via Finder, this is everything. So even if you write a one line shell script and run it in a terminal, you will get a delay!

This is upsetting for me, too. And for a few others. But actually very few people care because they just don't see it. The people who designed it this way take care that users at large have no idea what is going on.
There seems to be a delay of about 5 seconds, then it "gives up" trying to notarize your program .
That has been my view as well. It isn't Apple that is particularly good with anything Software ( I will give them they have an Edge in UX ). But Microsoft is just horribly bad every time I look at it makes macOS looks good.
What makes you think that your experience is the typical one? I've had these problems as well and so have a lot of people I've talked too. Obviously that's just more anecdotes and doesn't prove anything but neither does your comment.
