Yep, right after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

I distinctly remember as a third grader in Radcliff, Kentucky doing several science and writing assignments related to earthquakes in the United States because there was all this news and speculation about New Madrid.

It's probably just the natural attentuation towards chaos in every American boy, but there was a distinct flavor of "wouldn't it be cool if ...?" to it all.

Needless to say, it was an extemely disapponting summer that followed.

They spend quite some effort [1] to make the RxDB graphql replication working with their backend. Maybe supabase can use a similar wrapper over GraphQL.

We are in the process of doing that, and we've come to the conclusion that we are selling a family home, so it's pointless trying to create it looking like a showhouse.

We had a big tidy/clean up, for the virtual tour, and then just have a little potter around with the hoover and pick things up before anyone wants to have a look.

When we bought this house, it was nice to be able to see where toys and the kids stuff would actually fit into the house - and that it wouldn't be super cluttered (at least to start with!).
It seems that's exactly what the researcher has done:

"She said a component of the venom called melittin is what had the killing effect.

The researchers reproduced the melittin synthetically and found it mirrored the majority of the anti-cancer effects of the honeybee venom."

"It effectively shut down the signalling pathways for the reproduction of triple-negative and HER2 cancer cells."
Yea that was gitlab ( there are a couple of others like mozilla ect). But they adjust your salary based on your location, like you mentioned.

claim here was that you continue to get 'cushy US salary' no matter which country and you get your payroll to the home address in that country. That sounds really hard to believe to me.

Maybe it's a next level play the more hardline authoritarian China becomes the easier it is to rally the domestic population to be anti-Chinese in all matters. Remember when terrorists created sectarian violence in Iraq for the sole purpose of inciting ethnic conflict?

I wouldn't have believed it was possible even 5 years ago in the U.S. but now who knows.
> So these functions get the same name then:

They'd better not get the same name, since one increments its argument and the other one increments an auxiliary variable ….
it is the paradox of those who do not think and think that all things are the same and therefore that a terrorist in america is the same as one in egypt, one in tibet, one in hongkong and one in china, I am not here to explain all these things if you try to change the subject at the moment I don't have time, if you want to talk about something else ok, but I don't have time someone else will answer you, if you talk about other similar things, these things are not the same thing, one sanctioning by means of a ban on a company that censors is not the same as censorship itself.
as the incarceration of a person carrying out kidnapping is not the same thing.

At least as right and wrong are not the same for most people at least.
And even if in some countries right and wrong are reversed, don't believe that even those who live there don't realize it.
> Most software isn’t FAANG. In the long tail of database size, I’d guess 95%+ of databases are smaller than a few hundred megs.

I think that statement is plain and simply untrue for most databases that generate enough value to pay for a developer working on it. I would bet it can be reversed to at least 95% of business relevant databases are larger than a few hundred mb.

I manage a small 200 player old-school browser game for a few years and our database creates a few hundred megabyte per month. A major source of this data is a user trace-log ('what action they performed when' compact as a timestamp and 2 integers), which we clear on every new round (about 2 months). Keeping every update (instead of the small trace log) would easily scale to gigabytes per month. And we're talking 200 users. I also worked for a small 150 employee web service company, where the development database snapshot was about 5gb (a heavily trimmed down and anonymised version of the production db).

Now, cold storage is cheap. But fast access database storage isn't the same as a disk. That's why we keep hot data in memory, only write to disk when necessary and backup to cheaper storage.

Lastly, a relational databases WAL is a complete historical record of all writes and reads, not just changes. It's used by default and in fact necessary to accomplish ACID and consistency guarantees. Keeping this log gives you the full history that allows to restore the full database state to any given point in time without polluting the actual data with historical records. Granted, access to this data is much harder than a simple query.

There are also many other options to keep historical data rather than keeping it in the OLTP database, like OLAP data lakes.

Same here. I just show up at (get your pearls ready) Walmart <gasp>, check in on my phone, wait a few minutes and they put stuff in the trunk. The only problem I had was when they substituted (at no cost) many small burger rolls for a package of fewer big ones. I did accept the substitution though so it's on me. I wound up making sliders.

It's basically a more streamlined version of picking up orders in a B2B context. There's just no forklifts trucks or flirting with the gatehouse lady (if you're driving a box truck you may as well act the part).

lol, scores of work assignments and whole jobs shouldn't be compensated with this line of reasoning.
Yeah, I've never had to implement my own DNS cache for a language before...

If you're on a system with cgo available, you can use `GODEBUG=netdns=cgo` to avoid making direct DNS requests.

This is the default on MacOS, so if it was running on four Mac Pro's I wouldn't expect it to be the root cause.

It seems that the compound target specifically cancer cells:

"The research showed a specific concentration of the venom killed 100 per cent of triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer cells within 60 minutes, while having minimal effects on normal cells."
Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude, yes I agree that my comment were indeed rude. I apologize to you.

I'll try to be better.

I did do my research but I havent found any company that,

1. Lets you move to any country

2. Adjusts your payroll to that country's address.

3. Doesn't adjust your compensation from what you were getting paid in USA.

I do know of some exceptions where people were allowed to move to a country where they already have a home office. One of my coworkers moved to Dublin and my company had a home office in Ireland. Some of my coworkers are also stuck in countries like India due to covid and HR allows them to work from there for now. But it is not any sort of company policy to let ppl work from a random country forever while maintaining their US salaries.

But the claim here is that you can move to any random country like Barbados.

If I didn’t get my food 20% of the time, that would be a problem.

But if a dish is missing, the food isn’t piping hot, it’s less than an hour late or the packaging is a disaster twenty percent of the time, that’s fine. I still saved time.
I would imagine that if someone is hiding some use of the Grindr app from their S/O, they can be blackmailed. It would be particularly evident due to the location and photo-based tenants of the service. That is exactly why they ask the questions they do on the counterintelligence polygraph
Communists were mentioned, interestingly enough, in that Germany montage, where the Nazis ripped down a sign about a Communist meeting.

First, counting clicks is a fool's game.

1, 2, 15, 100, the number of clicks doesn't really matter.

It's like measuring code quality by line count.

It's Spinal Tap. "But it's one less click, innit?" If it takes you 10 seconds to find the one place to click or requires such heavy front-loading that it slows down the system on every click, you've already failed. Doing more of the thing that caused you to fail is a hole with no bottom.

Second, the engineers and UX designers aren't the people really driving the design process. That's a problem. The people driving the design process don't know what they're doing. Because everyone things UX design is easy. It's not. It's hard. People think they know what they want, but the don't really. What they know is what they want to do. But they get it wrapped up in their mind that what and how are interchangeable. So "I want to prescribe medicine easy." becomes "Prescriptions need to be one click".

Maybe they don't really. Maybe to make them easier to do, they need to be in a context menu or something else. I don't know either. I'm not a UX designer by trade. Because I know it's hard.
> Each message can be linked by its content addressable hash.

What I had in mind is, while as you well said, you can link the data in a pub in any way you need, the distribution model is fixed. The only way to change that is creating more pubs.

I think the distribution model is an integral part of the data structure in a general p2p setting and needs to be customizable, within reason.

Cheers!
It's actually a cool lesson and the summarized version here has it completely wrong. While it is a simple dish, most people's eggs will taste better after the real lesson.
Should fix... how? Companies should be compelled to provide a platform for free expression, and forbidden from removing any content, no matter how objectionable?

It's unclear to me what you're suggesting.
A bit of context would surely help to put this comment into perspective.
Upstreaming non-GPL code is much easier for these companies to upstream GPL code, because a GPL upstream can "accidentally" leak all the IP of that company by requiring that company to publish all of its software.

So the current options are: these companies don't open-source anything (which is what you get with GPL), or they open-source something (which is what you get with BSD, and in practice they open source a lot).

The claim that with the GPL they would open source _everything_ isn't true; they would just not open source anything instead. I also don't see any current legal framework that would allow them to opens ource everything without loosing a significant competitive advantage, and am very skeptical that such a framework can be conceived.

I see your point and principle , but the salary-opportunity-cost on the number of hours that the average piece of OSS takes to develop would surely dwarf 99 dollars, making that fee maybe 1% of the total effective cost.
I played it as a ten year old and loved it. It has great game mechanics and loved the interplay between empires.

But having read several books on what colonisation actually means I would be reluctant to play it again.

For some reason for me Civilisation the game keeps it at a fictional enough level that you are not re-enacting whereas colonisation does not keep that level of separation.

The big question in the room is should you be re-enacting historical slavery for fun?

I could probably play a game where it wasn't historical and feel ok with it like a science fiction game but when it's something as insanely terrible as the trans-atlantic slave trade and you want to 'play' that game it feels morally wrong to me.

AFAIK, IE/Edge was developed only by Microsoft, so there wouldn't be much if any thirdparty code?
I long thought that compilers are an area where deep learning could make a huge difference, with dynamic compiler construction you could even do a hardware architecture search to find HW and instructions that is efficient after compiler optimisations, but I guess that step is sill a few years down the line. It might turn out that moving complexity to the compiler this way (instead of complex branch perdictors in HW) is the better choice.
I've had to set up a new machine like, maybe four times in recent years I think. Except for one time (new employer) I just restored a new Macbook from a backup and was good to go. I don't edit code on servers unless in dire emergencies that are extremely rare (as they should), and nano will do fine for those. Everything is infrastructure-as-code and I like it that way. What work I do on remote hosts happens through e.g. JupyterLab.

Valid point. My defensiveness was less directed towards OP's specific scenario but rather to the blanket statement that EHRs are broken in this way, when there are specific and high-quality tools designed specifically for data analysis. A lot of people, including myself, tend to put a lot of faith in HN comments about industries that we are not personally familiar with, and someone reading OP's comment would likely get the wrong impression about the state of the medical records industry.

There are certainly a million reasons why a doctor may not have access to or be able to use tools like Slicer Dicer, but most of those come down mainly to hospital policy. Amount and quality of training is certainly the biggest differentiation between clinician who are satisfied with Epic and those that hate it.

I've been up that way many times, by bike, by motorcycle, by car. Although the road to the top is relatively tame (7% max grade), the surrounding area is super steep and hilly. Great for hiking and mountain biking, not so much for fire fighting. It's also very, very dry. Major props to all the fire fighters who labored to save such a historically important facility.
I'm sick of this response. These social media companies individually can reach billions of people with the ability (proven) to sway their thoughts and emotions (see Facebook, WHO, Reddit). Free speech must apply to public forums like this
I always wondered, why don't they build houses level with the ground in the midwest to protect against tornadoes? What I'm envisioning is a single floor home that has skylights level with the outside ground, which is either level with the surrounding area or slightly build up to prevent flooding. This would prevent needing to worry about your home getting torn up by tornadoes.
The paper indicates that the test were done in vivo, in mice models. They also used a synthetic version of a particular compound (melittin), as an adjuvant with an existing cancer drug. They also determined how the compound affected those cells. (plasma membranes formed pores, and interferring with cancer-signalling pathways)

"The study also found when the venom's main component was combined with existing chemotherapy drugs, it was extremely efficient at reducing tumour growth in mice."
In a world full of shady companies, I would much rather bacl companies like FB than companies like TikTok backed by the Chinese government.

Hypothesis: Houston residents were nudged towards sitting tight instead of running for the hills, by Covid-19. They had either lived through, or seen pictures of, the Rita evacuation that turned into a parking lot. The idea of being packed into a crowd, even if you are in your own car, gave a gut-level push in the direction opposite what fear of the hurricane gave.

However, I also found myself thinking, if there was really a 25% chance of a hurricane strike, was it really the right thing to not evacuate? Well, given that Houston is probably not able to evacuate anyway, I suppose it was.
Tiktok, in your hiring practice, you stated CCP members first and preferred, you have CCP organization in your company and they're very active daily(meeting, discussing how to serve better to CCP and obey CCP's leadership,etc), in fact your CEO etc must follow the CCP leaders in your organization, you're nothing but a CCP puppet. You're further evil enough to leverage the West free world to cover the true you.

this is the same logic as many CCP officers in the news section, they block twitter/facebook/etc inside mainland China, but themselves have active twitter/facebook/etc accounts to push CCP's propaganda. they become so good at leveraging the free world's system to cover their own evil actions. For god sake the west is waking up.

I'm currently a masters student and I'm rather glad I opted not to take a specialized degree such as Machine Learning, taking on computer science instead. All this discussion about DS, ML, AI (and even CS) becoming over-saturated has made me rather wary and I worry that I'm choosing the wrong 'tracks' to study (currently doing ML and Cybersecurity as I genuinely am interested in those fields). I won't be graduating until next year but I'm forcing myself to be optimistic that the tech job market will be in a better place by then.

I think the two big factors for Java's success were these:

* OOP in a C-like syntax without the complexity and traps of C++, this made it attractive as a teaching language and ensured a steady supply of Java developers

* Cross-plattform-ness, reasonable performance, easy multitasking, and the Servlet API made it the ideal successor to Perl as the default option for web development, leading to ubiquitous industry adoption.
I suspected as much, but thank you for the link. That makes it easier. Now just to find some replacement keycaps. You don't happen to have a link for that, do you?
There's lots like that in the US, and to a much lesser extent in Europe as well. In the US I had a family member whose husband kept a not-great job because its insurance paid for her cancer treatment, whereas if he'd tried to switch jobs the other insurance might not have.

Even in Germany my (private) deductible is 3000 EUR so if I thought I might need "something done" I'd try to do it early in the year: if I spend 2999 in December the counter resets on January 1st. And I'm told I have a pretty sweet deal compared to America.
Ah, nice.

Does it work with AppSync? It seems to me that Amplify/DataStore is a product like RxDB, and they use AppSync as backend.

Edit: I just saw it seems to integrate custom GraphQL, so it probably a direct competitor to DataStore in that regard.
True, it's not only an american problem, but the point here is that, that I consider to be a central part of the setting is missing.

But sure, if we were talking about historical games set in europe, there would probably be things missing that paint europe in a bad light... But that's not what we (or atleast I) are talking about here.
