I owned a Nexus 4 and then a 5x... damn that fucking camera app taking 20 seconds to load, making you miss the moment, and then loading a broken image. This happened the first week I had it and I couldn’t be without a phone so I sucked it up. So many good moments missed by that.
My understanding is that Firefox still uses the OpenSearch metadata shallowly as the easiest way to create the "keyword search bookmarks" rather than writing a bookmark by hand (though your second link was what I was looking for on how to do that and it seems quite easy/convenient to do yourself if you had to). I don't believe that shallow auto-bookmark discovery is/will be dropped, they dropped a more complicated add-on/extension-based approach that supported more OpenSearch features.
Why do you care about where the server is? Is it because of privacy/ data regulation requirements?

I did a one week roadtrip from California to Colorado this summer and had to clean my windshield at every gas station due to splattered bugs. It’s my first real roadtrip so I don’t have any basis for comparison.
Sure, but I heard the words "you do not have rights" from just about every administrator and authority figure in the school system while I was growing up. This was Nashville 2002-2010.

edit: Just wanna say that the information in your link is valuable, and students should absolutely know about it. In my experience, there's just wide discrepancy between the way the world works and the way authority figures present it to children who don't know any better.
I imagine it has to do with second hand clothing stores/goodwill, but I could be wrong.

True for the GP's suggestion of a varint encoding, but also true for UTF-8 (which is a varint encoding.) So that's not much of a loss; we're already biting this bullet.

Still, though, you could have a fixed-size encoding that could still be more compact than UTF-8, if you limited what it could encode (and then held either it, or UTF-8 text, in a tagged union, as an ADT wrapped with an API of string operations that will implicitly "promote" your limited encoding to UTF-8 if the other arg is UTF-8, the same way integers get "promoted" to floats when you math them together.)

Then your limited-encoding text could hold and manipulate e.g. ASCII, or Japanese hiragana and katakana, or APL, or whatever else your system mostly holds, as a random-access array of single-octet codepoints; until something outside of that stream comes up, at which point you get UTF-8 text instead and your random-access operations become shimmed by seq-scans.

(Or you get a rope with both UTF-8 strings and limited-encoding strings as leaf nodes!)

Of course, if you didn't catch it, I'm talking about going back to having code pages. :) Just, from a perspective where everything is "canonically" UTF-8 and code pages are an internal optimization within your string ADT; rather than everything "canonically" being char[] of the system code page.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 2XL's default camera app has the single worst video taking experience I've ever seen, comparable to a $100 flip cam from 2008. 1080p at 30fps is all you seem to get, and it suffers from the same max 4gb file size issue that mp4 has had forever, causing skips and stutters when it stops one video file and starts a new one, which happens more often than you would expect because despite the low video quality, the encoding is incredibly inefficient
The seasonal flu does not kill 150,000+ people in 4 months. There seasonal flu also usually has a working vaccine. Comparing the risks of spreading the seasonal flu to the risks of spreading the Covid19 virus had Covid19 looking significantly more deadly to a community.
You should get your battery replaced. That is generally the cause of performance slowdown -- see the iphone battery complaints thread. But it is known, and an easy fix.
We're hosting the photos on S3 currently, only around 30K photos currently and the cost of S3 is dependent on how frequently they are accessed (how often users load a specific photo). If I recall correctly our S3 bill last month was around 3 dollars but we don't have very many users. I'm sure its not scalable if we had tons of photos and tons of users but I think I'm just crossing that bridge if I ever get there
> Data diffs are easy when the tables are already exactly the same. The union/except query you wrote returns no results.

It won't if the tables are identical. And if the tables differ, it a) tells you and b) gives you a very good idea where to look.

In all honesty, none of things are a problem.

> It's much harder when many things are wrong at once

Then you find and fix each in turn. BTDT.

> Do schemas match? (same column names, column order, data types)

Well, if they don't and you're responsible you've really messed up, but that does happen (cough). Just do a similar diff via information_schema to show you schema discrepancies.

> Do pk's intersect?

this is just a subset of full-table diffing. Use my except/union but just on the PK fields (consult infoschema for the columns which are the PKs. If it has to be done for many tables, build the union/except dynamically then execute the string to allow for different tables with different columns names - I've done this too. Annoying but when done once you can just reuse it).

> For intersecting pk's, how is data different? (string truncation, timestamp truncation, rounding, upper vs lower case, empty string vs null, etc)

The aforementioned comparison using infoschema views will tell you where the schemas differs. Comparing the contents show you where the contents differ.

All this is annoying but of very little work compared to a whole ETL process, and - emphatically - is reusable on the next job.

I think the specific policies regulating service providers ought to be implemented on a case by case basis depending primarily on the amount of power that the service provider has in practice. There's typically only one power company in a region, and that's why we generally require them to offer their service with no discrimination. But if someone owns a small hardware store and doesn't want to rent generators to the local KKK group for their annual outdoor convention, and that means the KKK group has to go to the next town over to get their generators, I'm not particularly bothered.
They really do though. In the modal case you would just write the same code as in js but without all the extra keywords. If you need fanout you'd call some special function to do that, like you do now.
Some of us have been boxed up for 4 months, and we have been fine.
We checked out a lot of tools and built POC's with Kratos and KeyCloak

Kratos was very promising but too new/unstable.

We spent a lot of time with KeyCloak, but it had some very heavy server requirements. We want to be able to release Supabase as a single docker image and it would have been too difficult with KeyCloak.

We chose GoTrue because it's fairly stable and feature rich, and backed by Netlify so it's well supported. They didn't have PG support, so we had to fork it, but otherwise it's been great.

A refreshing distraction from the torrent of bad news...let's make our ideological opponents illegal.

If they are wiped out, the money the NRA collected will just go to the GOA (gunowners.org). Or, the NRA will just re-incorporate under a new name. Americans are most definitely not more anti-gun than they were a year ago, just look at sales.

Most likely this naked Soviet-grade purge just gets tossed out of court. But if you want to "go there", then don't be surprised when a red state AG goes after the ACLU, for "reasons".
When I read the title I thought that they were announcing something like Anbox, which runs android apps in containers. But it is actually just about mirroring the android screen... I'm not sure why that would have be a feature baked into the operating system. Seems more like a marketing strategy imo.

This reopening is criminal. The DA should charge the superintendent with endangering child welfare and I'm sure they can think of a dozen other types of charges times for a few hundred student victims they could bring on. Well at least now we know that even "think of the children" was always a lie in our culture. The culture does not care if children die unnecessarily.
I think the embedding idea in specific is quite good and there are several potential approaches! One is, if you let xᵢ be the song vector for user i (whose kth entry is 1 if user i has song k in their library and 0 otherwise). Then you can compute the "overlap" by something like xᵢ ⋅ xⱼ (with some normalization of course!) where ⋅ is the inner product. [0]

A simple approximation of this inner product would be to generate a random (potentially sparse!) matrix S whose nonzero entries are i.i.d. Gaussian, for example, and whose number of rows is much smaller than the number of columns [1], then you can instead store and compute

(Sxᵢ) ⋅ (Sxⱼ)

which gives you an approximate overlap, whose storage and computation requirements are much smaller for each user (since Sxᵢ is much smaller in number of entries than xᵢ).

-----

[0] Of course, there are many other similar methods! This is a particularly simple, but often fairly effective one.

[1] More specifically, it goes like O(log(n)/ε²) where ε is the error you wish to achieve. Often, a fairly large choice of ε actually will suffice. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson–Lindenstrauss_lemma
Well, there is this hilarious statement by SCOTUS (an opinion penned by Scalia):

> Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.

From 2005's Gonzales v. Raich
That has been explained a bunch of times:

Apple gives performance beyond what you would expect for a similar phone, in terms of battery life and responsiveness. Then, as you burn through your battery's age beyond what even other phone manufacturers would warrant, the OS slows down the CPU to let you continue using it. So it's actually giving you more than you would've gotten otherwise.

But all the complaints are that iPhone sucks, I guess.
Oh I see, well I definitely see the value in those spaces, Im kind of interested in the idea of archiving anything thats out there so that maybe people can realize all the cool clothes thats already been produced rather than looking to the new stuff thats coming out.
> combined with the cited lack of basics like computers and connection in family's homes for remote learning.

I never would have considered this a potential issue in developed countries before, but recently I was talking to someone from rural Louisiana who noted when school tried launch online, many parents were up in arms because a lot of people just didn't have internet service.
That's definitely far-fetched. If anything, The Matrix is almost a word-for-word remake of Neuromancer by William Gibson (which is an amazing book). Plus a bit of Ghost In The Shell, perhaps.

> Google has quietly discontinued sales of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.

They discontinued the sale, not the product support. Not sure what the outrage about. Am I missing anything?
I tend to use my phone more as a computer with a lot of SSH, unzip/unrar, downloading audio files, editing audio files, sending videos, full file manager access, and I want to move to iOS because I am absolutely not liking Google at all, and have tried, but it's just not there yet. I see improvements being made, but things like not being able to hold open an SSH session without subscriptions or expensive applications is a big issue for me. iPhones also can't play .webm's and other media files. I have a 6S plus I keep trying, but its personally not there yet.

Also not a fan of face unlock and wish they'd implement a fingerprint into the screen. I usually block out the front camera and any sensors that I don't use.
People in other countries are sometimes less burdened by interference from non-governmental organizations. Countries with strong unions offer workers freedom from the worst of workplace strictures - think the right to assemble or to speak out against your employer or blow a whistle without being fired. Most countries don't have HOAs and far fewer rules around how you can build and maintain your own house. You can paint your house bright pink in most places in India and no one will stop you.

The American body politic's focus on rights as the defining feature of the social contract isn't shared everywhere else. For example, in many countries, the focus is on the material benefits the government can provide for you ("development"). And because of that, there's less reflexive distrust in government as an institution able to benefit your life, in principle. Parts of the American citizenry absolve themselves of the expectation that government can, even in principle, improve your life.

America is living in the long 18th century - Enlightenment liberalism worked out over three centuries.

Or maybe it's just an ideology "issue".

Maybe there's nothing "wrong" with these people. Maybe they just believe it's all in god's hands or whatever. We might not agree with it but it's not quantitatively wrong.

I dislike when people's reaction to an alternate viewpoint is to claim that the other side's judgement has been clouded by economic conditions, mental illness, or something else outside their control because it implicitly denies them agency.
Hmm, I guess, ironically, lz4 does not do a Huffman pass, unlike most other compression algorithms. It only does dictionary-matching, which I imagine has a tougher time squeezing the zeros out of fixed-width-encoded integers.

I wonder if this implies lz4 pairs well with Protobuf (since it does Varint) but that Cap'n Proto users should look at different algorithms (or maybe apply packing followed by lz4).

Their job is not to sabotage everything. They, and the judiciary, are present to prevent the executive branch from becoming supreme. The same applies to any one of the branches with respect to the other two.

One downside to this is that a branch can also significantly obstruct things if they decide to.
Do you have a way to get a lot of newspaper or large format cardboard? If the former, look up Morag Gamble, the latter, sheet mulching. Weed barriers will buy you a few years and then need to be dug up. Cardboard or paper biodegrade in a year (an extra thick layer of wood chips extends the effective period), so nothing to dig up and no microplastics.

Weeds are opportunists. They tend to grow where other things don't want to. Better soil will invite other things in besides weeds.
Clover is great for lawn health as it fixes (adds) nitrogen to the soil.

Before the widespread use of herbicides having some clover in the lawn was viewed as a good thing because of this. Lawn seeds even included a bit of clover.

When herbicides came out that killed clover as a side effect then we saw people saying (marketing) that clover is bad.
When you say Google guarantees support up front (like a benefit), what you'll really find is that's a guarantee support ends on that timeline.

Apple (in my observation) tends not to say what length of support will be given, but offers it well beyond when an average person would throw away a device 2-3x over.

When Google says 3 years guaranteed, you can be damned sure you're done at 3 years.
It's interstate commerce, feds have a lot of power when it comes to anything that crosses state lines. Even if it's indirect. By employing net neutrality law in Cali, they affect the transmission of data in and out of Cali, therefore being interstate.

Perhaps it's somehow special here, but that's my understanding of anything and everything that crosses state lines.
Most deep tech and hardware projects can also benefit from a ship-and-iterate model. There are always pieces you can show to some customer, even if they're simulations or a tiny component of the whole thing. It creates some work and stress to deliver them, but the feedback you get means you're more likely to end up with something the customer wants at the end of the project.

The U.S. mindsets doesn’t apply to the Chinese government.

Chinese government has banned countless things from the world for one reason. They believe those things will jeopardize their ruling.

They had banned fb, Twitter, bullied google, youtube, because if Chinese citizens criticize the government on those platforms or see the truth, they will have no good control. They fear their own people more than anything else. Do they care about people’s privacy ? Especially with that intense surveillance? Is any high tech data worth protecting if the data was stolen in the first place?

SCOTUS first held in 1824 that the Commerce Clause gives the federal government the right to regulate intrastate commerce in a 6-0 decision.

"With policies, your database becomes the rules engine. Instead of repetitively filtering your queries, you can simply define a rule on your database table, auth.uid() = user_id, and your request will return the rows which pass the rule, even when you remove the filter from your middleware."

I'm not sure how I feel about this. With something like authorization, being explicit is better than implicit. This makes it far too easy for someone to accidentally forget a policy configuration, but it looks like all your other queries so it passes code review, and now you have a data breach.

But could be that I'm missing something in how this actually works. Would love to get your thoughts on it.
