> Microsoft wasn't able to keep developing a browser on their own, I doubt that Brave could. The problem is that a browser nowadays is so complex to develop that you need serious resources to invest in it. Without Google's ongoing development, Brave would not survive. And given Google's changes to undermine ads blockers, it's going to be interesting to see Brave struggling to maintain their fork.

IE was woefully out-of-date. MSFT then tried to build a browser from scratch. That was a lot of effort, so they decided to fork Chromium (like Brave) instead. What exactly do you think would happen in Google dissappeared tomorrow in their case? Do you think they would go back to trying to build their own browser from scratch? No, they'd just keep developing Chromium. Many (most) changes would probably be upstreamed. Forking a browser and maintaining it is orders of magnitude easier than starting from scratch in [current year]. As you point out, there are not multiple parties building on Chromium, so I'm sure slack could be picked up if Google switches gears. But you're right, maybe Brave won't be able to keep up with upstream changes that make ad-blocking harder. In that case, you can always just switch browsers. In the meantime, however, I'll use the browser that does a better job of protecting privacy by default.

> Right, keep telling yourself that.

Luckily, I don't need to. A browser that blocks ads by default is objectively better for user privacy and security than one that doesn't.

---

> Btw, I actually wonder how what Brave is doing isn't copyright infringement, given they are directly profiting from blocking the ads of publishers. I guess they are small enough to not matter, for now.

They aren't directly profiting off of ad-blocking, so maybe that helps.

> I worked on anti-ad-blocking technology. Nothing beats uBlock Origin running on top of Firefox, everything else was strictly inferior.

Have you actually tried Brave? Works better for me, and I've tried Firefox with uB0. Have also tried Chrome with uB0. Brave blocks both ads and tracking more consistently across the board. It occasionally breaks a webpage, but I have reported those to Brave and two of them have been fixed (out of like 5). This process is clearly better for users than everyone having to configure their uB0 Matrix and such separately. Brave is creating a web where all the privacy violating / attention grabbing shit is very much blocked by default in a much stricter way than other options. When this breaks the internet, they fix it and because this fix is part of the blocker it fixes it for everyone.
I'm glad people are realizing cgi-bin was the right model all along, but I'm sad it took ten years in the wilderness to get there.

All I want is user-isolated (suexec) shared web hosting on scalable web servers and SQL servers that someone else runs for me, where the extent of what I need to do is put PHP/Python/shell/whatever files in a directory on some network filesystem, and optionally wire up FastCGI if I want. It works well, and it's been doable for years because I used to run infrastructure like this. In the modern era you can even imagine extending suexec to create containers and not just switch user IDs if you want more isolation - as long as you have the container image locally, the individual steps of making a container (make some namespaces, make some cgroups, set a seccomp policy) shouldn't be noticeably more overhead than exec / process startup itself, and, again, FastCGI is an option.

That's "serverless" just as much as anything else is (i.e., the person running the website doesn't need to think about launching and operating servers, the platform takes care of it) and it's way simpler than using all these fancy tools on top.

Here's some one's you can do in SQL Server and probably easily attain that in your garbage code:
1. Remove table variables, use temp tables.
2. Remove user defined functions from your predicate if its job is to return the same fixed subset, insert that into a temp table.

The first one can be done by effectively changing an @ to a # and mildly changing the create statements (from declare to create) - doing just this change I took a a 22+ hour long query(didnt want to wait any longer) to a <1 minute query.
> the projection doesn't remove redundancy under most cases

Maybe I'm missing something; I don't understand why projections are part of this discussion. Maybe I should have been more precise. I was thinking about the type of Table UDF that Aster Data made popular around the time DeWitt and Stonebraker wrote their article (Jan 2008). These Table UDFs were written in languages like Java or C/C++ and generally accessed data external to the database engine. Aster Data marketing defined the functionality in terms of MapReduce.

The point I was trying to make was that the Map() part of MapReduce is equivalent to a distributed ETL pipeline. This remains one of the key use cases for Spark. The Reduce() part is no longer relevant in the new world of cheap and scalable column stores. DeWitt and Stonebraker's Teradata-like enterprise data warehouses suffered the same fate.

This is great info. I searched for "LTSC Windows 10", and got to the linked page[0]. However, this line jumped out at me:

The Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is designed for Windows 10 devices and use cases where the key requirement is that functionality and features don’t change over time.

What?? Is there a requirement scenario where this is NOT true? I don't buy and set up my OS/computers just so things break randomly because of forced updates.

Why do companies do this? Why is avoiding breaking updates considered a hipster/contrarian/rebellious thing?

Perhaps you've heard of the Crypto AG case, where the CIA infiltrated a foreign company and used its resources to spy on countless other countries, usurp intellectual property from foreign businesses, and used their moles in Crypto AG to give American companies an unfair market advantage:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-...

This was one of Snowden's big revelations - America had been using Crypto AG (a Swiss company) to infiltrate and usurp countless other foreign businesses, to give American companies a distinct advantage - FOR DECADES, since the 70's!!! (Also, it is quite well known that the CIA runs Germany's BND. Does China's intelligence agency run the intelligence agencies of any other sovereign nation, that you know of?)

The minimum volume license buy is 5 licenses. Any good reseller will sell you 1 copy of LTSC and 4 of the cheapest SKU in the catalog (usually $5-10 / ea) to get your volume license contract started. After that you can purchase piecemeal for 2 years before you need to fulfill the minimum purchase again. The licenses themselves are perpetual.

The real question is whether they are going after similar offenses when the source of funding in is some other country...?

There was a controversy not long ago about Saudi funding. Some very mediocre Saudi universities were entering the top rankings for research because they paid a lot of well known professors to have affiliate positions at those universities. This suddenly caused a crazy boost in rankings.

Now I doubt those researchers failed to disclose their affiliation/funding (the whole point of the scheme was for them to openly be affiliated). But if they had, would the US government go after them?

> Even more surprising, though, was that a little-known university in Saudi Arabia, King Abdulaziz University, or KAU, ranked seventh in the world in mathematics — despite the fact that it didn’t have a doctorate program in math until two years ago.

It's a gigabit network adapter. Ignoring the extra CPU overhead, latency, etc. that alone limits storage to less than SATA 1 speeds. UASP drives on the USB 3 port can push near SATA 3 speeds with lower latency and less CPU overhead.
I think the only real critique is that a file system already has systems to identify individual ballooning items, whereas the database would be a single container that is opaque to many basic users.

pensions are a great deal for the government because it doesn't really have to fund them properly. if a private company offers pensions, it has to fund them enough to essentially guarantee that there will be money available for all the pensioners, making pessimistic assumptions for the market and optimistic assumptions about the pensioners' lifetimes. the government usually makes fairly lax requirements for funding its own pensions and relies on the ability to make up any shortfalls in the future from taxes. shifting from something like $40k + pension to a competitive salary-only compensation would cost a lot more money in the short term.

This (or some of it) seems like “shot in the dark” engineering where the author finds an error condition and instead of doing the work of finding root causes simply twiddles some values until things work.

For example, a 21MB upload with a 72MB INSERT statement (100k messages inserted) fails but a 5MB upload with 30MB INSERT statement (40k messages inserted) works so author just limits to the smaller values and calls it a day. But clearly the new limits are still near the edge of the performance envelope and without knowledge of root cause of the error how do they know the error won’t resurface under different conditions (more load on server, less ram allocated to db, congested network, fuller disk)? How do they know a config change from an upgrade or from a fix to another problem won’t lead to another failure?

It saddens me to know in my gut that a lot of what passes for engineering happens this way. This is not proper debugging.

> The policies of Silicon Valley followed the local economy's dependence on technology; non-competes were abolished in Silicon Valley because local politicians couldn't survive without vocally supporting the technology industry.

Sorry, but that is nonsense. California's primary law against non-competes, section 16600, was passed in 1872. In many ways California was just lucky. An intensely dynamic entrepreneurial hotspot grew up due to the environment in CA at the time, not the other way around.
>However the one thing journalists do cover well and have good expertise in is current event and politics.

They are only "good" at this because so many of them worked on campaigns and there's a revolving door between that campaign work and the politics desk at media organizations. That isn't a badge of honor, or a signal that they know what they're talking about. It's a mark of partisanship, and they try their best to cloak it when they do their reporting ... but then they go back to the campaign when their guy is running.
It certainly has more than a whiff of "HN commenter solves question experts have been discussing for some time" to it.

You're arguing against a straw man. The original poster was clear enough: negotiate the contract, if the company won't budge then don't sign. That is your leverage.

There is a question about whether or not the contract is ethical, but that's irrelevant to the original point. Which is simply this: contracts should be negotiable. If they're not, use your leverage.

ALL contracts are negotiable, it's just a matter of which parts. Your salary is part of the contract, and everyone should be negotiating that.

Oh wow, good to know, I’ll check if I have such things in my codebase. Which version of the Postgres are you using?
That's not an actual example, though. That's an action you took. I was asking for a concrete example of a task (e.g. doing your online banking) that reasonably requires more than a dozen tabs (metaphorically - change that to fit your RAM usage, the actual number matters less than "unbounded" which is what many people use, or the number that would consume all the RAM on your device).
You've made the massive leap that the words blacklist/whitelist are microaggressions. Not to mention the science of microaggressions is not even remotely settled.

You’re still paying Social Security on that ‘tax deductible‘ income. 401k’s also cap out at 19,500$/year unless your close to retirement.

Further where compound interest limits the impact of savings very close to retirement, pensions are more closely linked to your final salary.

Early on compound interest often wins, but at 40 getting a government job can be a very good financial decision.
> If Google disappeared tomorrow, Brave would continue to exist and would continue to get updates.

"Updates" may be, large, architectural upgrades? Doubt it. There's a reason they didn't start fresh and I very much doubt they'd muster the resources to maintain development were Google to drop it. Google has invested billions, probably tens of billions into Blink engineering.

What I could see happening is Brave forming some sort of a coalition with KDE and the wider open-source community in the better case or trying to switch to WebKit in the worse case as that is exchanging one corporate overlord for another.

Not to mention Brave's VC funded, so they'd want some form of a meaningful exit at some point.

The bigger concern however is not that Google will not fund Blink development, but that it will increasingly implement features that primarily benefit itself and Brave, as a dependent player, will be spending an increasing amount of resources trying not to get eaten by Google's "direction tax", as all developers depending on a 3rd party corporation they're in some sense competitors with find out eventually.
