It sounds like it was the specific text of the review that led to the arrest. It doesn’t sound like all 1-star reviews would qualify as defamation. Of course it’s possible in any country to post certain text that is illegal. Fraud, threats of violence, and defamation are three obvious examples that are probably illegal to post online in nearly every country. I’m not sure why Google would need to post a specific warning about this.
If in the new paradigm we're in control of our own destiny, how does that make the stakes lower than when it was out of our hands?

pgbouncer is not a load balancer, it's a connection pooler.

The former is used to split reads and writes (and so far I haven't seen "magic" tools that automate it well, pgpool has lots of issues; this task is better to solve in app code -- most modern frameworks either already solved it such as RoR, or at least work well with 2 connections),

the latter is used to multiplex connections and improve performance similarly to nginx, haproxy, envoy, but with native Postgres protocol support.
So like a library? Headphones can help but I do tire of them. And if anyone needs voice control to support their work (accessibility).
Because there is no second chance. We are not answerable to god, we will not live forever no matter what we do in life. The universe does not care whether or not we exist, so if we care about existing, our sole responsibility is to each other and ourselves. God will not save us, there is no salvation that we do not create.
A hardcoded desire to eat and make kids is pretty much why we're even here to contemplate anything. Many of us who have the means cannot even stop ourselves from overeating. Several leading causes of death are simply connected to people not being able to stop eating.

How do you expect people to take responsibility for the planet's health when so many cannot even stop themselves from harming themselves?
Radiation is good. Without it we would not have mutation and then there would be nothing for natural selection to operate on. Ergo, if you are against radiation you are against evolution.

QED.

Also, I have shares in companies that can build nuclear power stations in your neighborhood.

Also, because I want to keep driving and heating my uninsulated suburban single-family house while I eat beef 3 times a week and I am starting to realize that this might cause the climate destruction that those econuts warble about I might need to get my power from somewhere else.

Next question?

Yes. Not nearly as many people were using .dev in local environments as you seem to think. We didn't know anyone, and by the very nature of them being fake and locally-configured-only it's not something you can easily find out about. And no, our intention was not to use .dev for fake domain names.

Also, just because someone is using a fake domain doesn't preclude that from being created as a real domain name farther down the line. That's why you shouldn't use fake domain names. This problem has been known since at least the 90s and is not a good habit to get into. Them now being real makes them actually more useful (and not reliant on potentially unsynced local-only config).
Is there a source for this? Because I always thought that it was the other way around - Carmack was rather bored, sold the company and moved somewhere else.
I'll try to answer as a relative Swift newbie:

1. Modern language with conventions that will feel "normal" to ambitious younger programmers.

2. Lots of special language features to support the specific use-cases of iOS apps. As Go is to writing for server farms at Google, so is Swift to writing for Apple devices.

3. Very simple UI programming paradigm, at some point, maybe now? SwiftUI is or isn't production-ready depending whom you ask, but if we treat this as the future for iOS then it means any kind of data-centric or CRUD app will be trivial to bootstrap.

4. Sooner or later you will have no choice.

Granted, #4 is not an advantage to the language, but maybe to learning it?
Haven’t tried it yet but the —hide-network option sounds really useful to me. The number of times I’ve been looking for free space on local file system when I have some massive ntfs remote file system mounted and trying to get that excluded from other utilities is a massive pain in the butt.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. I lived what you're saying. It's a reality for a lot of people.

Cheapest option at a proper restaurant: glass of water. I had times where that was the only option that I could manage, unless my friends insisted on paying for me. I'd feel bad, but they were better off and didn't mind (at least they said they didn't mind) and otherwise I might not have even gone out with them.

Splurging for me was going and getting 4 items off the dollar value menu at Wendy's instead of 2 or 3.

But it wouldn't really matter. I'd get sick, have to go to the doctor, get a bill I couldn't pay, it'd go to collections and wreck my credit, then my car would break down the same week, then it breaks down again in a different way a few months later, and will keep doing so because it's an old piece of shit but you can't get anything better, and there's just no getting ahead. Just sinking further and further into debt.

I didn't break out of that cycle until I got a job that almost doubled my salary and dedicated a couple of years to just digging myself out of the hole I had gotten myself into.

I'm a lot better off right now. Actually have savings, some investments. House, dogs, wife, spend more money than I should on stuff I don't really need. But I'm way, way behind others my age in my industry, and my credit is just okay now, not great.
It goes both ways...

I had similar experiences in Thailand, but I also saw a lot of terrible behaviour from tourists - trashing rooms, causing disturbances late at night, trying to trick/scam or just nickle-and-dime the locals
.
Thailand seems to attract a particularly hard-partying demographic from Australia, UK and Germany in particular that gives other tourists a bad reputation - who are then treated with a lot of suspicion.
I've had to clean a number of these up. The worst is when "foobar.com" answers with a wildcard record. Booting client computers using public DNS in that scenario is like being stuck in a tar pit. The poor helpless operating system tries and tries to reach servers to query for its AD site, find Domain Controllers, apply group policy, run scripts, etc.

Microsoft's official training curriculum for "MCP" and "MCSE" back in '99 was pretty clear about it (I was an instructor at a community college for a Microsoft certification program), but other Microsoft docs and especially third-party docs weren't as clear. Thr whole ".local" debocle with Windows Small Business Server lays at the feet of Microsoft, though.
> it allows to directly convert the problem statement into an efficiently solvable declarative problem specification without inventing an imperative algorithm. -- Sergii Dymchenko

This quote from the front page reminds me of the motivation for Autograd (and other AD frameworks)

> just write down the loss function using a standard numerical library like Numpy, and Autograd will give you its gradient.

or even probabilistic programming languages like Stan, where you can write down a Bayesian model and get posterior samples.

Working backwards (as I know Stan but not Picat), I guess to really put the language to work you need to be aware of limits of the implementations, and how to dance around them.
It looks like it just takes an identifier and not your actual bank data.

I’m not familiar with these identifiers, but I assume they’re somewhat generic per company maybe?

Of course - this is true of most countries in the global south since the 80/90s.

>What's he trying to say? That even if you're right, you shouldn't write a bad review because the justice system is corrupt and you're going to end up in jail anyways?

Yes, even if you're right, you shouldn't write a bad review because the justice system is corrupt.
Congrats on the release! I'm working on a language myself, planning on having an ARM backend, and this book is going to be very helpful implementing that.
> “Hold on,” he says, “I’ve got an excellent publication, full of great journalism and delicious writing. I should be able to compete with those other things and maybe displace them!”

That seems pretty easy: If you're trying to sell a subscription to someone, give them a free one-month trial subscription with no strings attached (no credit card required). If they like it, they might switch to your publication.
Great book, and very approachable compared to my university texts, but hey that was 30+ years ago ;)
coming from you, I might just have faith that it might :-)
I was talking about a Magistrate's Court, so when you say "actual bad guys" we're talking like, maybe a drink driver? Knocked somebody's tooth out in a bar fight? A year of unpaid parking fines? Shoplifted a frozen turkey?

I'm not suggesting we throw these people a celebratory party, but they're no Ted Bundy or Buster Edwards. Most of them would - if they had woken up on the right day and showed something resembling remorse for whatever they did - never have seen the inside of a jail cell. They'd have been given a fine or some type of "community pay back" type sentence like they have to clean graffiti off walls or pick litter from the side of a road, and told not to get into trouble again. Some of them won't. Some will.

Crown Courts deal with more serious offences, and obviously if it's alleged you are a real danger, that you will most likely offend seriously again if released, or you have means and motive to flee, they'll just imprison you "on remand".

But there isn't this business of "Oh well we'll just assume everybody is a flight risk and demand piles of cash for their release" which is just obviously corrupt.
And flying. Don't forget the flying. What the planet needs is more nuclear and more covid.
This is the first link that comes up when I google the BioScience manifesto: https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/11/05/more-than-...

> A new report by 11,258 scientists in 153 countries from a broad range of disciplines warns that the planet “clearly and unequivocally faces a climate emergency,” and provides six broad policy goals that must be met to address it.

The analysis is a stark departure from recent scientific assessments of global warming, such as those of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, ...

This says two things to me:

1. "a stark departure from recent scientific assessments of global warming" says that this is NOT what the experts in the field are saying.

2. "from a broad range of disciplines" says that these are mostly not climate scientists.

Here is the best article I know about the real climate science vs doomsday predictions:

I'm just saying that platform's behavior to top users, doesn't say much about what they can or can't do (or are doing) under their ToS to normal people.
I can see you disagree on a matter of principle and personal experience. And that's alright. I just think it's as valid an opinion as all the others. There are some who like explicitly defined types of various levels. Those who want it all infered or partially infered, and those who don't want them at all, or want them optional or gradual, etc.

And none has been able to make a claim over the others even now years later the debate still rage on. The data doesn't show up. And different people have different experience that leads them to different paths.

So I like to think of it more as a personal choice. Like various master chef all have their preferred brand and type of knife, so do developers with programming language and type checkers.
A lot of people assume .com for whatever reason
> It has a very expressive syntax and uses modern idioms you see in JS, Kotlin, Rust, Scala, C#, etc.

Yeah and that's exactly what I would call a disadvantage. I prefer dumb programming languages like Java, C++11 without the auto keyword, and Objective-C. They're much easier to understand because there are fewer ways to achieve the same thing and they don't require keeping as much context in your head while reading the code.

IRL example with Swift: I wanted to fix a logic bug in someone else's code and spent an hour trying to get a field from an object. I could see it in the debugger but every way to get it I could think of produced an uninformative syntax error. There was nothing to google because there were no keywords around it, even. Then the author of the code in question came online and explained that it's an "enum with associated value" (wtf?!) and you have to use this `if let` or `case let` abomination to extract the fields into local variables.

Another IRL example with Swift is that this whole immutability-by-default thing was just driving me insane because I'm too used to the fact that I can overwrite function/method arguments but Swift won't ever let me.
Revisionist history did a really good episode going in depth about all this: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/31-puzzle-rush
1. The power of asking the right questions. For example, if you find yourself doing learning a bunch of difficult things at the same time, the following questions can help you/
a.How many subjects am I currently learning intensely?
b.Do these subjects have any relation to each other?
c.Why am I currently learning the subjects?
d.Have I truly made progress in any of the subjects?

To find out more about questions, this article https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/do-not-engage-the-mi... is fantastic.

2. The power of writing. Writing puts thoughts to paper. When you write, the structure of your thoughts becomes more visible. It can tell you if you think properly or not. By writing, your thoughts process becomes more refined. Writing is a feedback loop to your thoughts.

3. How to build relationships. We humans are social creatures. We are quite inter dependent. To navigate through life, we will need to co-operation of others. The book https://amzn.to/3mYvmqo how to win friends and influence others is incredibly good.

4. How to show our work. You can create the best invention in computer science but if it does the right audience do not know about it, the invention languishes in obscurity. This article https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/cracking-the-who-you... is one of the best at explaining it.

5. Financial literacy. This is incredibly important. A lot of us go through life without understanding how the financial system works. This leads to us making sub optimal financial choices. I find the book The Richest Man in Babylon https://amzn.to/3mVczMI great at introducing a financial mindset. Financial literacy is also important;Especially for technical people. The life of Nikola Tesla is an example of this https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/dont-hinge-your-care...

It's already being proposed by one of my colleagues. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal-00

It does seem much, much more likely that .internal will be definitely reserved for this purpose than that it will ever be delegated as an actual real TLD. If you have to pick a fake TLD to use that isn't one of the 4 mentioned in RFC 2606 that has the best chance of actually being reserved for this purpose in the future, then .internal is it.
I think the sibling comment is right; the “old” paradigm is one in which an appeal to the powers that be will roll back the transaction so to speak.

Still, the new paradigm isn’t that we’re answerable only to ourselves but that we are the powers that be and there is no way to roll back the transaction.
Lots of the servers simply block based on tribalism though, irrespective of "toxic content".

My single-user instance, for example, which is entirely free of "toxic content", even with an extremely critical viewpoint, is blocked by an admin of a popular public instance of 17k users, none of whom can follow me (or can I follow), simply because I publicly disagreed with him about the virtue of instance censorship.

These things tend to naturally centralize, and that's always going to enable small groups to have an invisible, unearned, outsized influence over what people can see or read.

I think client-server is the wrong model for p2p networks. Look at the issues with the deliverability cartel and the relative inability of normal people to deliver messages to Gmail users without paying money into it.
OP is simply ignorant. There are many laws that would make account take-over an illegal activity - it would depend on what exactly the perpetrator did, but wire fraud and criminal conspiracy most likely apply.

If the OP's point is about consumer protection in case of any dispute with online provider, there's maybe a tiny bit of truth, but that's not a criminal law.

If the OP's point is whether there's sufficient enforcement and investigation for account take-over, that would be correct, but it's not clear if the society would be better off spending large resources on investigating those when there are much more serious crimes not being investigated sufficiently and when companies are generally doing reasonable attempts at providing protection.
On the one hand it's scary, on the other - it helps to appreciate whatever we have left. Thank you.

I don't buy this "choose the right tool for the job" thing. I'd always advise you to choose the tool that your company has the most knowledge in. If there's a problem that cannot be solved in that programming language, then you can look for a better tool. But you shouldn't pick a language that nobody else understands, just to save a few lines or some time when doing the initial implementation - just to realize that you now have to constantly keep up the knowledge to be able to support it.
The attitude on risks of radiation have little to do with the economic and technological failures of nuclear power. With multiple schedule and cost failures it seems like fission nuclear is an exercise in what is possible, but not really practical compared to what is accessible via renewables + storage and it's far less constrained financial and technological foundations.
Yes, too anxious about nuclear energy generally.

Powering Propeller Planes with Hydrogen to Green the Skies
It's easier to run (and even revive) a 25-year-old applet than a 25-year-old OS/2 C application. Java has a much better backward compatibility story than C because C relies so heavily on OSes, many of which are effectively defunct.

Still, there are probably billions of legacy lines of code in C, C++ and Java, and hundreds of millions of lines of code in those languages are still being written every year (in Java more than in C/C++). In fact, more new lines of code are professionally written in new Java codebases than any other language with the possible exceptions of JS and Python (although probably not).

Like COBOL, existing VB code is still maintained, but very little new code is written. I'm not saying VB is exactly like COBOL, but I don't see any resemblance between Java and COBOL any more than I would between C and COBOL or Python and COBOL.
A couple great posts about vitamin D posted to HN:

-https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24138590

-https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24261124

-And her part 3 (which links to tons of studies and is quite informative): https://www.devaboone.com/post/vitamin-d-part-3-the-evidence

My TLDR from reading those posts: Vitamin D overdosing is possible, can have some pretty severe consequences.

Vitamin D deficiency is correlated with tons of conditions. But this seems likely to be a correlation and not a causation. Simply because unhealthy people spend more time indoors than healthy people.

The relevant statement in her post from part 3:

"Vitamin D seems to reduce asthma attacks in adults with mild to moderate disease, and daily or weekly Vitamin D seems to prevent acute respiratory infection in those with Vitamin D less than 10 ng/ml (25 nmol/l). There is considerable excitement around Vitamin D's potential role in Covid treatment, though we do not yet have enough evidence to make a definitive conclusion"
After you ionize the straw man to death, ask the engineers wtf are we going to do with hazardous waste byproducts for which the current plan is to let sit and rot on site at various plant sites.

When you look at the inevitable destruction that will be wrought on the Columbia river ecosystem by the Hanford site, perhaps it’s worth considering what will happen in the coming years as uneconomical nuclear plants are shut down.
