when we compared salt and ansible a few years ago to decide which one to choose, this issue of yaml scripts was what let us to decide against ansible. we looked at examples how to set up user accounts, and the example ansible offered at that time was just atrocious. it is possible that ansible now has better ways to configure users, but at the time that was what a red flag for us. (we also checket puppet, but our junior admin tasked to test it couldn't even get it to work after a week of trying, so that failed too)

Storing your blobs outside of the database when they are an inherent part of some larger transactional model is the giant rookie mistake IMO. We did this for a little while for the reasons of "oh my gosh look how big the .db is getting" and it ended up a complete shitshow. Simple tasks like cleaning up old entries can quickly turn into a nightmare if you have to go around disk and make sure you are not leaving garbage behind. There are also other concerns outside the box like VM snapshots. This could leave you in a very inconsistent state regarding what blob you have on disk vs what the database is expecting.

Is having everything in one gigantic .db file an actual downside? What makes a database's size "unmanageable"? Presumably, you'd have to store that business information somewhere anyways, right? I don't understand how 1 unified file is unmanageable, but splitting that concern up into 2 different domains magically makes it better.

Amazing! I wonder about the universality of head nods (for yes) and head shakes (for no), and whether languages that lack a "yes" or "no" might still use nods.

I have an application that uses sqlite as their file format but they've cleared the header so you can't open it directly.

I'd love to be able to make secondary applications like you've described but being enterprise software they don't want to make it too easy.

They obviously want to keep people locked in with their $40k per seat application!

I guess the first step is figuring out the page size and other bits the other meta data you set in the header [1].

I know I just have to sit down and understand the format better and I will eventually figure it out...

I am sorry to hear that your transfer of credit was not possible between UoPeople and the more standard institution. But I think that you should not feel bad or think that because the transfer was not possible implies that UoPeople standard is low or questionable. I say so because transfer of credit depends on the university in question, University A may refuse but University B may accepts and both universities are of high standard. For example, there are universities of higher standards out there that accepts transfer of credit from UoPeople, all you need do is to first of all carry out a research to know such universities before you apply rather than applying before requesting for transfer of credit which might not be possible.
As for the aspect of plagiarism, I must say that it is a serious offense and at UoPeople, many students have not grasp the idea because they did not take their orientation classes and foundation courses seriously else they will not be ignorant or be victims. So putting all these together truly makes one feels that studies at UoPeople is not like higher education, but on the other hand, everything being equal,if you are a student at UoPeople, then it means that you should be responsible to follow all the instructions and rules governing the platform right to the end of your study then you will feel that UoPeople is more than a higher education center.
NB: There is no institution in the world without a downside that affects the student as well.

Blacklist/whitelist do not explicitly attach moral values to color either.

Blacklisting can be a good thing. For example, you can be blacklisted from a gang's kill list because you did good deeds for the neighborhood.

The only people attaching moral values to these are people trying to gaslight others into believing "black=bad".

Article 18: most muslims disagree,many islam countries would kill you for conversion

Article 19: this one is silly, every government would persecute you for holding certain opinions even without expressing those opinions. Look at how alleged communists in the US were treated around the time this document was drafted. Or consider holding an ISIS or islamic terrorism symphatizing opinion,people have been detained and persecuted for far less. What if you are spreading the terrorist propaganda? No one will see that as your right.

Article 20) so all militaty draft violate human rights?

Article 21) citizens of any country that does not accept democracy are having their human rights violated?

The whole thing is silly. First of, most of the existing UN members did not sign. Of the members at the time, the vote to adopt this was not unanimous and therefore this document is not accepted by the sovreign governments of many nations at the time. You can say the UNDHR is the opinion of what some humans think a human right is,however it is far from a document all sovreign nations accepted as a defi ition of what rights humans have simply for being human. China and muslim countries combined alone would make up a population majority!

The UN is not an authority nations are subject to. UNDHR is not a treaty adopted by nations. It simply defines these trems as the western majority if the time saw it fit.

Now,there are rights almost all humans accept as rights such as the right to exist and the right to a fair trial (as applied by their society). These are obvious rights commonly accepted by most religions and an peoples.

Or if that isn't a good argument then consider that even the US (the sit of the UN) has been and is currently violating many of the UNDHR articles systemically, a US person should probably not talk about enforcing UNHDR against other countries. Everyone tolerating terrorists having propaganda zoom calls would be the only way I can accept UNHDR application of freedom to express opinion on other nations as a human rights.

My view: the UN is a diplomatic organization not an authority over nations. A document that can define universal human rights must be a treaty reviewed and accepted by legislative bodies of each signatory nation and it can be a universal right only if a super majority of nations and humans (counted by national populations) accept it as such. Look at the criticism section in wikipedia.
I think the clear answer is that you want both -- maths notation, and at least one implementation in a non-specialized programming language with clear functional/procedural semantics. If you understand one or the other, you then you can also learn the mapping between the two. This is also important to remove ambiguities in notation, makes errors in each more obvious, and aids in reproducible results. Of course, applicable input and output data also needs to be supplied for verification. If the code is too long to publish in a paper (usually there is at least some core idea that can be expressed) then it should be in GitHub or elsewhere at a stable URI -- papers often refer to academic sites that 404 soon after.

As a non-mathematician who has been recently been looking at papers in journal back-issues from about 1970 to 2010, I certainly would have benefited from this.

On a related note, another issue is that that maths must be implicitly ordered in the context of the prose of the paper, while programs have actual entry-points and (without nitpicking) explicit ordering. (It's possible that ordering can be relaxed, but correctness preferred over runtime cost.)

I think "maths-as-data" is more important here -- use a parsable common notation with enough meta-data that I can view it any way I want -- as math-with-greeks, math-with-friendly-names('en-us'), as APL, as plain Python, Python with numpy, etc.
Do people really pick XML as a go-to format these days? Probably easier to list what's not wrong with it
I made a mistake -- it's an order of magnitude slower. That means a single transaction is within the threshold for human perception. If you block the UI thread on a transaction, you're now dropping 6 frames at 60fps. If you block other operations on the transaction completing, you end up with lag.

That's accurate in my experience. I adjust my hands to use those which is fine if not optimal. I also find thumbs a little clumsy, particularly after a stretch to outer keys so multiple keys activate sometimes. My enter is center and backspace to it's right so I'll often delete the last character before sending chat.

The bottom-outer keys tend to be really awkward to use also.

I tried the Kinesis A. 2 before this and prefer ErgoDox but miss the curved keywells to reduce travel and really want more keys as I feel resistant to the layers thing. The Dactyl was attractive but I haven't had capacity for this kind of project for some time.
That's mean, but you'll just have to live with that. If someone takes active steps towards preventing people from making secondary apps/utils, then they're (a) jerks, and (b) allowed to do that.

Might be worth actually contacting them to ask why, if you can make the case that secondary applications will increase the value of their app, not decrease it.

I love this idea too. Is it possible to create a type (in F# or Typescript) to represent an idea like greaterThan2? A value whose type is greaterThan2 would have the obvious constraint the value is always bigger than 2. Having the compiler check such a condition would be awesome.

I kind of can do it for Strings by doing something like this

type ValidStrings = 'name' | age | 'dob';

The easy way around this is a function to determine this

function greaterThan2(num) return num > 2;

but it'd be cool to express this level of dynamism as a type.

Parisian native here, studied linguistics and specifically French/English in college, it's been many years. In my experience there is no equivalent to the use of "huh" in a single word in French so this article title made me a bit skeptical. Couldn't find any corroboration in the linked article. Only hinging that there "rough" equivalents to "huh" in all languages.

As you two suggested, "huh" is tricky to adapt to as a native French speaker learning English, especially American English, because "huh" is not equivalent to any single easily muttered statements in French as far as I know. I would convey the meaning of "huh" in French with:
- "ah ouais" (express that I didn't realize something)
- "bah dis donc" (express soft surprise or shock)
- "mouais" (express soft skepticism or disapproval)

Even those don't quite feel like the encompass the uses cases for "huh".

No charades, context matters. The context surrounding your question lets me know where you're coming from and that it's not a legitimate question. If I didn't have that context, I might try to learn more about the issue. I also might not since the two scenarios are not equivalent: posting a comment on HN is not the same as stewarding a large community-involved open source project. Again, context matters.

Hermes is the Greek god of commerce, the marketplace, and thieves. He is also the ultra-rapid messenger of the gods. His duties also involve guiding souls of the deceased into the next world.

His name and/or image pops up a lot in the context of businesses working in one of those domains. Flower delivery, bicycle couriers, airlines, PayPal's external merchant flow... anything you want to be speedy. Not so much in his role as a guide of the dead that I now of, though maybe there's a lot of companies in the death industries that invoke him.
What would happen to a human taking such a big dose? Brain damage? Death? Permanent coma? And would the outcome be the same even if monitored by healthcare professionals? Or would they be able to stop the person from taking damage from it?
Just want to point out:

The media doesn't ever report the numbers on police violence. They report the emotion.

Including both armed and unarmed people, just over 1000 people were killed by US police in 2019.

What percentage of those were black?

Approximately 24 percent. Did you know that? Did it surprise you? I assumed it was 75 percent. 24 percent is very bad, since black Americans are 13 percent of the population. However, it also indicates that race is one of, not the only, independent variable driving this. The media is deliberately not reporting these numbers. Simultaneously, they trot out chart after chart of covid19 infection statistics.

When I saw the data, I was very angry that my own perception was so skewed due to biased, incomplete reporting in the media.

Blacklist/whitelist do not attach moral values to color either. Do you have a peer reviewed study that states these words attach moral values?

Being blacklisted can be a morally good thing. An example: You can be blacklisted from a gang's kill list because you did good deeds for the neighborhood.

> Are you talking about a server application?

I'm talking about doing a handful of transactions -- even a single one, now that I looked at the actual numbers that sqlite discusses -- being enough to introduce user-visible jank.

The sqlite docs. You can improve the performance of sqlite by multiple orders of magnitude by messing with things like https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous, at the cost of safe atomic updates.

For me, one important feature of notation is its consistency. Eg a inverse of sin function should not be written the same as powers, in superscript. Some programming languages enforce (function-name argument1 ... argumentn), or similar structure, some don't
When I was doing the flight school, the first 20 hours were early morning or late evening to avoid turbulence. At around 30 hours, I was flying light planes very low over fields and forests in the middle of the day, I had motion sickness so bad that I was barely able to ride my motorcycle back home. I asked the instructors about this and they said something in the lines of "we all had it, it is going away with time".

The next year I never had motion sickness when I was in control of the plane, but if I had a copilot when we were switching control I still had some motion sickness in bad conditions. Several years later I almost never have any problems, unless I spend too much time looking at the maps and not outside of the cockpit. It goes away with time, it seems. I never tried sailing in the past few years to check if I can get seasick, but I noticed I am almost unaffected by car sickness that I had a lot when I was a kid.

One way to partially train for this was doing a couple of in-flight maneuvers that provoke sickness to almost anyone, including some seasoned pilots: inducing close to zero-g conditions, either by doing short slingshot maneuvers (point at 20-30 degrees nose-up and then push the stick keeping 0.5g, then 0.3g, then 0.2g) or doing it faster while extending the flaps to full, the sensation is very bad if someone does it to you, but it can be even enjoyable if you doing yourself flying alone. I practiced the slingshot part for a few weeks, this is what it took me to get to ~ 0.2g without feeling sick.
Maybe some of us has no double standard. We are against US aggression outside of its borders, especially at tremendous cost to local civilians, local economy and US taxpayers. Also of China's, which is at the cost of human rights globally.
I've never had my problem scale to the size that required a database/SQL, but I don't quite get the advantage of your solution. Having all your interactions with data have to go to disk though a cache muddles things b/c it makes it much harder to reason about performance (b/c when do you have a cache miss? and how do you configure a cache properly?) You introduce a lot more blackmagic variables to reason about.

If you're editing images I'd think it'd just makes more sense to have all of your stuff in RAM and then a saving-to-disk is done on a separate thread. I don't quite get why the users would stop saving in this example.

I'm not saying you're wrong - but more asking for some more details b/c I've never imagined using a DB on data that can fit in RAM
I guess you could send changes to the DB on-the-fly inside a transaction, so when the user clicks "save" it's just a matter of running COMMIT? Not sure what effect that would have on performance as the transaction grows, though.
I have grown up with Shanghainese as my second language, and never in my life have I, my parents, or my brother ever uttered anything remotely like "huh." Seems like a silly bit of clickbait.
To relieve the sickness from you or the passengers? Do you get motion sickness as a pilot, or only as a passenger?

Beautiful! Is there a reason you chose Clojure for this project?
To expand on your comment, the reason why we don't use simple and understandable tools like Smalltalk is that the industry is not interested on this kind of simplicity. For them it is much better to pay thousands of people to work on different, unrelated things and them put these things together at all levels: hardware, OS, software, etc. The resulting system is impossible to understand by a single person, and works only because of the continuous struggle of thousands of people to make it work. But this is positive for the industry behind this architecture: every year they will create new components to fix flaws, introduce new ones, and keep the wheel of the technology industry running.
Notation can be difficult. Given my years with logic I can now read a reasonably complex piece of it and hope to interpret it quite easily if I have some feeling for where the author's going. It does take practice but you need to be exposed to it a fair bit (as when learning a natural language) and have someone to ask, to talk it through with you, until you find your feet. Without some coaching from my uni lecturers at first, and a very good book as well, I probably would have given up.
That arguably depends on the data, but obviously you can’t trust them to give you the keys if you pay.
