For context, it took me about a year of learning in my spare time to get to place where I could do my own cross-platform game engine, and some of that time was spent doing the code for the game itself.

What exactly is the expectation here? Would it have taken that much less time to learn the little nuances of Unity that folks here are complaining about?

Also for context, my full-time job is demanding, and I have a lot of outdoor hobbies like snowboarding and mountain biking. I bet if I were even more focused, I would have learned it faster.

It's not a big deal. You're already expending effort learning Unity/Unreal. It's only a little more effort to do your own thing. You might enjoy it
Almost!

Yes, TimescaleDB "core" - still Apache 2.0

TimescaleDB multi-node - was never before released, is now released for free under the Timescale License, a source-available license

There are other capabilities (e.g., gap-filling) that are also under the Timescale License, in addition to multi-node.

The Timescale License prevents "TimescaleDB-as-a-service" usage.

You can still run software / services on top of Timescale Licensed software, as long as you are not offering "TimescaleDB-as-a-service".

The Timescale License currently prevents running any modifications in production, but we are actively debating removing that restriction (as I mention elsewhere).

Hope this helps.
How about the parts of North America that are not the US?
> I remember using fvwm fondly on Slackware Linux back in the mid 90's.

Same, well late 90s here, and yep that was my go-to on Slackware, mostly because it was quite usable out of the box. I eventually went to Blackbox, then Fluxbox, then Gnome about six months before Pat decided to stop shipping it. I went to Xfce from there and never looked back (I never liked KDE before Plasma, and 4.x is still the default in Slackware).

> The idea of a container approach is to always start from a pristine state. So you define the configuration that your database server needs to have, and you launch it, in this precise state each time. This makes your infrastructure predictable.

I’ve tried this before, but there’s still a lot of overhead maintained the pristine state. For example troubleshooting why a python package won’t run, you end up I installing and upgrading a lot of other packages. You’re not sure if that helped or it was something else — now what? You’ll spend time wondering if you want to carry your changes over or deal with the drift.
I think, minimally, to not feel too cramped inside an enclosed office, I'd probably need near 100 square feet to myself, and I couldn't imagine even functioning in less than about 60 square feet.
Someone who simply reads CDC recommendations with a 3 week lag would probably violate these policies.
This was the standard when I started working in the 90s. 2-6 people in an office and gasp a window with daylight. You could actually really collaborate in that environment and have a discussion without bothering neighbors. Much less meeting rooms needed because often you could talk out things straight in the office. For me the best setup I have ever worked in.
We make the things that make the things though, so if we just don't ship the meta-machines over seas, we'll be fine.
This is true but its not linear. Even remote jobs are coalescing around a median salary. If you go from SF to Chang Mai, you probably aren't going to take a 85% pay cut, it will probably hit a local minimum for your role/experience/etc.. Your skillset still has a certain value regardless of location. Below a certain line, your savings rate will go back up again.

The guy is a Bernie and Tulsi support you dimwit. What in the actual fuck are you on about?
First off, I don't disagree. But I unfortunately think a lot of people will disagree, especially right now. If we increase the interest rate we know exactly what will happen. We will see a decrease in economic growth and spending. Stocks will slow down. Obviously at the same time inflation decreases.

The problem is we do know we need to increase the interest rate. But no one wants to do that now. "We're in a bad economic time and we need rapid growth! We'll raise it later." Later comes and we say "We can't do it now! We're growing! That will slow things down. We'll raise it later." No one wants to bite the bullet and do that. Again, we need to think long term and not so short term. I don't know how to solve that.
I remember they always pointed to private offices as one of their productivity boosters.
I'm curious what the perceived endgame is here.

Is it to sink a specific company? Send a message to a country with clear military aspirations? Reshore the semiconductor industry? Play to the president's political base? What?

If the goal is to reshore the semiconductor manufacturing industry, that's not going to work. Every country will have a competitive advantage in manufacturing against the US for as long as it prints the global reserve currency.

We didn't mark it as a feature of GitLab.com since the company decides if it is used, we also pay for the hosting (memory) cost, and there should be no end-user difference between Puma and Unicorn. But I agree that there is an argument for marking it as available there since all of GitLab.com runs on it.

I think that one thing this analysis is missing is why F1 drivers go to Ferrari. F1 drivers don't drive for Ferrari because they pay the best. They drive for Ferrari because of the dream. On Youtube Joe Rogan is just some guy. Spotify is offering Joe Rogan more than that.

Personally, I think the real point in this analysis is that 90% of people just aren't going to sollow him to spotify. Which is fine for spotify, they're buying users, but for Joe Rogan it'll be the end of his place in popular culture.

In my experience, it was easy... until I got to the part of my game that makes it unique. Then it went from easy to very very hard.

That's the thing about engines. They'll get you up and running quickly for basic stuff, but you'll be tearing out your hair when you need to do anything non-basic.

It's unfair that non-US companies must annoy Huawei. Non-US companies usually don't benefit from this. It's like forcing foreigners to be part of your army.
The word you are looking for is "relegate", not regulate.
Unfortunately, I have to believe the opposite, even if I wish it wasn't true.

People don't want to maintain a server, look after backups, deal with software updates, legal stuff, blacklists, ddos attacks, .... it never ends. People want to create some content, publish it and be done. This directly drives the future to externalizing these things to other companies.

Distance isn't an issue, economies of scale are huge. This means smaller companies cant compete with bigger ones. The internet causes big winner-take-all effects. This drives further and further centralization, until only a few oligopolies remain.

I liked the computing ecosystem of the 80s and 90s more than that of today. It was smaller, more comunal. I do have my own small server on the net, and enjoy it. But to be honest, that's a hobby.

Self hosting looks like it will end up like doing your own car maintenance, building your own radio, creating your own railway engine, smithing your own sword, ... A nice hobby for a smaller and smaller minority, but obsolete for more than 99% of the population

It’s okay to have differing views, Wang.
Not even in Portuguese. "Americano" specifically means "someone from the United States". Spanish is the only major European language in which its local equivalent of "America/American" does not refer specifically to the USA.

"collapse" is really quite a big word. You listed five websites, which is hardly "the web as we know it", though it certainly is a sizeable portion of online traffic. Stackoverflow would easily survive since it is a tool used mostly by wealthy people, easy to monetize. Reddit may survive but is it even alive right now? Youtube would have no way of surviving as it is.

But really, you are conflating "the web" with "megacorps flushed with cash able to hire (tens of) thousands engineers building unprecedented surveillance tools and networks". And the end of the latter
You're not wrong. I'm just responding to someone who's asking about theory, and I'm explaining why the courts work the way they do. They do have to balance the cost to the parties of litigation with the right of people to get justice. Note that if a case is deemed frivolous, costs can be awarded to the defendant, and some kinds of meritless cases can result in fee awards even if they aren't meritless (see e.g. anti-slapp.)

Back in the day, Forbes was one of the first sites asking users to disable their ad blockers. I whitelisted them, seeing that they asked nicely. But then it came to light that they were not screening the ads, resulting in users being served with pop-under malware.

Ever since then, I just close the tab when a sites asks me to unblock. It is not worth the risk.
I need to start by saying that I live in a country that's a member state of the European Union. I also need to add that I am in no way a fan of China, or the US of A, or any nation state or federal state for all that matter.

Now that's out of the way, what I am a fan of is fighting for something instead of fighting against something. I don't believe or understand this narrative of fighting China. We've been outsourcing everything to China in the last two decades, we've helped a billion of their people come out of poverty and we've helped them build infrastructure that we only dream of. Now that they're a major power, we're starting to declare all sorts of wars on them. What if, instead of doing all these economic, military and other types of warfare, we would focus, together or alone (as states) in excelling. In building the best tech, in building the most awesome factories, in having the best quality of life for our people?

What if instead of declaring war on China and moving our production to South East Asia or Africa and then helping them grow out of poverty while extracting as much value as we can (and then in the future we declare wars on them as they gain a foothold in the globalized economy), we help ourselves be awesome and in the process help South East Asia, and Africa, and whoever else can get into a win-win situation?

I guess I'm a bit tired of this anti-China rhetoric sprouting up on Western social media. It's a classic case of identifying a 'common enemy' so that our people can be sheeped into whatever the powers that be want them to be sheeped into.
(Disclosure: I work for Google, but not in Ads)

Micropayments are generally considered to be unviable for the general population (edit: business model wise, not tech). People are unwilling to pay even pennies for an article[0], because now users are facing the burden of choice, constantly thinking about how their browsing is racking up pennies. Not to mention, it boxes you into the pay-per-article model. Sites like Twitter or Facebook don't make sense in this world.

I also think it adds significant barriers to entry, since micropayments aren't accessible, at all, to younger people, or the poor. Information should be as free as possible imo.

If the market decides all ads should be blocked, then sure, things will change, but please don't pretend this won't have huge ramifications - things will not be remotely like they are today. For the news at least, it'll likely just be the expensive megacorp publications that survive.

There are authors.. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:reclaimthenet.org+inu...

But none of them seem to have LinkedIn profiles, they're quite possibly pen names.

The contact page lists a UK country code Signal number, so they're probably based there.

Some of the names appear on other sites with the same nav structure.

It is definitely a signal, but not an automatic indicator of something nefarious. There could be a whole host of good reasons why they're doing that. For example, the site could be launched as an experiment by a non-profit whose core work should not be associated with a risky message (this is my current favourite idea), or might piss off their funders.

FWIW there is a ton of newswriting on the Internet occurring under pen names for one reason or other. A lot of writers in the middle east will not or cannot use their real names.
maybe not right away but eventually people would catch on.

Regardless, it’s pretty certain Huawei does it and the possibility someone else is doing it and currently getting away with it does not justify someone else doing it.
Good. A web without ads and ad companies is a freer, fairer, and more decentralized web.
America still does bad things to this day, and they can definitely be compared to China's bad things...but one may far outweigh the other. I agree with the GP's sentiment but there's no reason we can't offer criticism on both.

wut... amazon is a greek word, which is actually derived from a different older language (the hypothetical pelasgian, the original indigenous people in the balkans).

Origin
late Middle English: via Latin from Greek Amazōn, explained by the Greeks as ‘without a breast’ (as if from a- ‘without’ + mazos ‘breast’), referring to the fable that the Amazons cut off the right breast so as not to interfere with the use of a bow, but probably a folk etymology of an unknown foreign word.
Hindsight is 20/20. It wasn't /opt/nix for reasons I do not know. In the context of NixOS, there's little reason to consider FHS. Only when using Nixpkgs outside of NixOS does the /nix choice look poor. I don't know which came first.

It seems like HUAWEI was determined to eat everybody's lunch in the first place and that was in large part a plan backed by the Communist Party in China. It seems that this is the backed response from the west, at least for America.

Let China develop their own technology and then we'll see a different story and nothing will stop them from taking over the world, by excellence not by IP-theft and benefit from others research. On the other I was quite happy to see China rising out of the poverty. It would have been a good counterbalance to the western Capitalistic world. Unfortunately they played the same game but with different weapons: cheap labor, IP theft and large pools of talent to pick from. Maybe the obedience of Chinese played a role behind this growth for they all benefited. However, since Xi's rise to power the ambition to dominate Asia with a fist
only grew. I hope the Chinese people don't loose the opportunity to change their future for the better.

There's an easy fix, they just need to serve ads from their own domain. Give up on the click tracking, go back to the way ads were handled in paper newspapers and magazines. They didn't have tracking and still made a lot of money. These sites need to take responsibility for the ads and treat it as part of their content. The ads in old paper magazines were curated and carefully placed.

Instead these sites just whine and do nothing. When some ad is malware or very poor quality? They just offload blame to the ad networks like it's not their problem. Users don't like the tracking? They just say they must have tracking for ads to work, which is a lie since ads existed before the internet.

So I will continue blocking ads. Their greed and incompetence is not my problem. If this makes lots of websites go out of business then so be it. Maybe the next generation of websites will learn and start treating ads properly as part of their website content.
Any possibility that you're just 7 years older?
This includes plenty of “good” sites.

I kept forwarding Worldometers’ COVID-19 data site [1] to friends and families, then later realized it’s full of banner ads if viewed without ad blocking.

So the reason I block ads, or at least started is a book I read called Pre-suasion by Robert Caldini. In it he points out that internet ads are dismissed and ignored by our conscious mind but because of that often will produce an effect on our unconscious mind. Think like the subliminal messaging type thing. People who were shown Kodiak ads on a webpage in an experiment couldn't recall seeing any Kodiak ads simply because we are so used to internet ads we ignore them; however later for the subjects favored purchasing a Kodiak camera over competitors products.

The books final chapter concluded by explaining an experiment they did where simply by showing a particular image in the background, combined with a spaced follow up and increased incentive, they were able to sucessfully manipulate people's political and voting preferences in a manner that lasted over a year.

I decided at that point no one gets to screw with my subconscious but my immense amount of childhood trauma. In my mind every other reason pales in comparison to this one for why I adblock and put it on my wife's computer, and every computer a family member owns.
It is just shocking that you would be on mongoDB and move away from it for horizontal sharding. As some one who has never used mongo that seems like the only reason to use it
The problem with China is that they support their companies in ways that are incompatible with western laws. In the long run it is simply not possible for US companies to compete with Chinese companies, as they would be essentially competing with the Chinese nation.
It could be worse. It could have said "OK".
Supposedly they're still able to put clips on YouTube, you just have to go to Spotify to hear the rest of the podcast.

It definitely adds a layer of friction, though. Instead of just clicking and immediately watching the full video on YouTube, you have to shift apps, to something you might not be signed up for or want to pay for (I'm one of the latter, I used to pay for Spotify years ago but stopped and I don't want to go back to it).

MikroORM is a nice alternative to TypeORM that is newer on the market. I tried out an experiment with TypeORM and basic relations and things didn't work the way I'd expect at all. Looked in the issue tracker and saw many open unresolved issues.

Went looking around a bit more and found MikroORM. The developer is fantastic, fixes issues and overall it is a better designed tool that just works the way you'd expect.

You'll notice that the essay doesn't build its argument around "ads bad" or "privacy good" or any of the typical shibboleths.

It builds its argument around crap like fake download buttons, fake FBI warnings, coin miners, and ads that break the website. These are the reason why University of California and Edward Snowden recommend ad blockers, and they're the reason why I recommend them too.
