Nice! I built something similar - A set of scripts that generate SQL statements from typescript types to wrap a PostgresSql db.

It’s more a hybrid data structure where only relationships and certain fields become columns (which can be indexed and searched) and most of the other data becomes a Json column.

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the final results, but it does at least allow me to add additional data fields without having to migrate the db structure and to use Postgres sql to filter and page data.

I think the goal of being able to define a true database in typescript is great and I look forward to trying your code.

It’s also pretty cool if you are able to extract types from a string using the type system - that’s next level typescript wizardry.
Oh, I see how it works then. It's funded through income tax from the employee's past work history. Thanks!
Cannot say if it is the journalist taking the statements out of context, but surely these seem Captain Obvious at work:

"If you always charge the battery and tend to do lots of short journeys, they will have very low emissions," says Nick Molden, who runs Emissions Analytics, a company that specialises in vehicle emissions evaluation.
"If you never charge the battery and drive very aggressively then they can have significantly higher emissions than the equivalent petrol or diesel model," he continues.

And let me decide, what is truth and what is not.
It's a subsidy, because the interest on the loan is below what the market would charge.

Requiring use of nuclear even if it becomes noncompetitive is also a subsidy.

What's happening in both cases is that risk is being moved from the investor to the public. Privatize profits, socialize risk. It's the nuclear story as old as time.
No. As per my layman understanding of copyright, I will have to prove at least:

1. Artistic/creative expression in my comments.

2. Direct commerical interest. If you are not benefiting from my comment directly, it can be considered fair use and hard to prove otherwise.

In gpt3's case, it outputs artistic expression in the form of poetry/stories and direct commerical interest from data used by common crawl and their api service.

You can argue about derivatives and so on. It's not clear cut in any way but your analogy isn't a good one. We can also give some leeway to humans compared to machines as latter is more deterministic. We know that gpt 3 was trained on which data. We can't say that for sure about you.

From my perspective windows updates are malware. I received one of Microsoft's malware updates on Windows 10. The computer forces updates on reboot except the update never completes. I've waited 2 hours for an update and let the computer stay on overnight. After 20 hours it still didn't complete. The solution? Reboot and turn windows updates off by disabling the windows update service. Except then they decided to override that option and suddenly my system started boot looping again. Why can't they just fix their crappy software? They've had two decades. It's always the exact same failure type on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 10. Sometimes you you can clear the windows update cache by hand but guess what. That only works if you can actually disable the windows update service which they prevent you from doing now.

No, there are certain features and terms in Emacs which makes it very alien to the modern world. Things like the cursor being limited to the visable part of the buffer, the usage of "window" for a buffer and "frame" for an application-window. Also the way Undo/Redo works and such.

If you really aim for a modern Emacs, then forking it and fixing it from the ground up might be not the worst idea longterm.

Emacs is so old that it has accumulated quite a number of old cruft and debt.
I never said otherwise. What I did was distinguish it's definition. That is, just because you are spending momey on advertising does not mean your are properly marketing. That is, one P does not a Four P's "cycle" make. Full stop.

Futhermore, of course marketers will say they control everything (i.e., including advertising). Now let's go ask an advertising agency if they agree. Let's go ask a promotions agency if they agree.

I'm speaking about the process and activities; devoid of typical biz structures and models that manifest those. It's a fool's errand to discuss the latter without first understanding the the basics, the foundation. The fact this thread is off target proves that point precisely.

There’s a reason the cost is so high for cabs in London. Great public transportation and high col. if you’re complaining about the cost of a cab ride , remember the cost would be the same if Uber marketing wasn’t subsidizing your rides.
Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it.

Does your wife heavily use tiktok? It's possible that different cohorts of Facebook users experience the product in different ways. I can imagine that those drawn to Tiktok also make use of insta stories or fb stories (short videos) etc.
That kinda depends on your working hours, which pretty everyone who doesn't encounter the problem seems to forget.

Two or three days a week I'm alone with my daughter for most of the afternoon and evening. My wife works retail and isn't home until right around our daughters bedtime.

If I worked in retail, you could easily end in a situation where I'd be home during the first opening hours of the daycare, but not be home for 4 hours in the afternoon and evening where daycare isn't available.
Sort of. We share a lot of media with the US; while "red scare" doesn't work directly, re-fighting the battles of the 1970s seems to.

We definitely have a "privatized == better" meme in government despite the public generally hating it. What the people seem to want is a Tory government that delivers state-funded public services, but only for the over-65s.

Once they linked it in the nav, I happily cancelled properly.

A tfl / government run app will be where we land. There’s nothing innovative or new about UberX anymore, the app/infra could be replicated easily. There’s not many reasons why a government would want Uber to run their transport when they can run it and profit/subsidise it themselves, as well as better integrate it into the street infrastructure.

If I were Uber I’d be pushing for a lot more regulation to keep competitors out, drivers locked in and the cost of building an alternative as artificially high as possible.
I think it is kind of solved, Windows for example support remote connections via remote desktop. With the desktop version you can either run local or remote session. If you run server versions you can have multiple simultaneous connections. The same things are of course available on Linux side as well

I'm doing this with Windows all the time, connecting from laptop my desktop where I have all the apps running. It's pretty usable even with 4G connections.
This problem has already been solved, centuries ago, by something called the printing press. You go out, buy a single newspaper, which you get to keep, forever. It doesn't track you either.

For all of the issues around Uber, they disrupted a market that desperately needed disrupting. The black cabs in London are a great example: expensive, uncomfortable, often draughty and cold, unpredictable, cash only, and often unfriendly drivers.

How hard would it have been for black cabs to have an app offering Uber’s features - easy location-aware ordering and seamless payment? Technologically, it wouldn’t have been terribly hard... but of course they had their own misaligned incentives to not do so.

So on this front... bravo, Uber.
I prefer some safe experiments that they can do with minimal help.

Changing the color of red cabbage juice with lemon and changing it back with backing soda. (Bonus points for the bubbles.) (Some teas also change color, but it not so dramatic.)

Magnets, lot of magnets. Make a complete analysis of every wall and object at home to see if it is magnetic, and think what is is made of. (Try also coins. Here in Argentina, some of the 10 cents coins were magnetic and other non magnetic. (Self nitpick: ferromagnetic.))

Some germination experiments. (Bonus point for spotting the difference between corn and beans.)

Watch light at night using a CD as a diffraction lattice to get rainbows. Some light have a continuous spectrum (like the old incandescent lights) and other have very peaky spectrum (like the old red/orange/yellow/green leds, or the neon lamps of different colors). (Modern lamps and white/blue leds are more complicated.)

Did you see the video of the feather and hammer in the Moon? (This in not in the DIY category, but there are a lot of things to talk about.)
I remember bacon in 2005 or so running openbox/black box/etc. on a $1400 laptop to make sure I squeezed all the performance out of it. Ironically, over the years my requirements for a graphical UI to do things on my laptop have actually diminished (my file management is now mostly done via the command line, etc. while my care for keeping my window manager to less than 300KB of memory has completely gone away.
Yes, this is what I meant as backfire.

Even if all of the miners made a change, if it doesn't align with the public perception, the value will vanish.

The economic majority is basically tied directly to this. It's not only the holders of btc that decide the value. The more it aligns with what the public wants from a parallel currency, the larger the want, and the larger the economic majority. If the miners disalign with the hodlers, it dies. If the miners and hodlers conspire, it still dies.
If you want a smart networked sign on the outside of your meeting rooms with some buttons, i think an ESP8266 with an e-Ink display would be perfect (and very cheap!). It could even last a long time with just a rechargable battery.

> I’m curious why that functionality was added to the language.

I think it's because there are a whole bunch of APIs in javascript where there is a function like `.get("foo")` that internally calls a function called `getFoo` or similar. And this functionality allows such functions to be accurately typed. It basically allows strong typing for stringly typed functions (which are pretty common in dynamic languages)
I am old enough to remember when similar things were said about AI - neural networks in particular.

Sometimes these bets payoff, the investors adjust for that likelihood. But it's not a game for the faint of heart.
Solve the radiation problem and we are still left with the problems of massive cost overruns, corruption, and centralized control of energy which takes away individual freedom to choose where to spend energy money, because the cost gets passed down to us as taxes and fees. A better idea is to scale up battery production and use renewables. Nuclear may still be needed but as a last / worst option amongst all non-fossil fuel options.
by client I mean anything that allows you to send tweets and read whatever tweets you are currently subscribed to, so a theoretical command line client for twitter (assuming of course the twitter api allows that kind of thing nowadays which I am not at all sure of)

This was designed to fit with internal Facebook frameworks and network capabilities. The device itself does not do much, in most cases just starts a browser and points it to an internal webapp. The device is just the presentation layer of a great deal of backend work that can't be easily extracted as a product.
Yes, lets use censorship to improve our democracies.

What democracies? Out of the three Western countries in which I have roots, only one is still a healthy democracy.

Good idea! Let´s also put all those who disagree in prison.

Wait what?? TLS 1.3 is blocked by some countries? As more and more of the Web, especially CDNs move to TLS 1.3, won't these countries be effectively crippling the Net for their citizens?

Also ESNI needs server support I believe and very few servers support it. Right now it is effective only for sites fronted by Cloudflare if I'm not mistaken, and while that isn't a small number still its by no means the wider Net.
you're right that might be a good enough solution.
It will reduce the number of eligible contributors. If you have seen the windows source you are not allowed to contribute to wine. Unless someone uses this as an opportunity to document the interfaces and create a test suite and thereby allows a clean room implementation the source code isn't just useless. It actively ruins the wine project.
That doesn’t explain anything. What do they want? Why? Who has it now? How do they plan to get it? When and where?

Sometimes I think the information campaign begins as forced education in senseless abstractions, which do nothing but confuse children into adulthood.

This study is strongly influenced by when nuclear reactors were built. Of course there aren't any 100-year-old nuclear plants; the technology isn't that old.

Some components certainly do degrade due to use, but it's entirely feasible to reuse large portions of the old plant by replacing the components that have degraded.
There is a difference between producing reporting on the basis of a whistleblower of conscience, and conspiring to exfiltrate a top secret data dump in the hope of finding some embarrassing details to publish.
Welcome to the Red Scare 2.0, comrade.

TikTok is under fire because it’s a piece of software from China. We’ve turned a blind eye to hardware security and the fact that the iPhone and nearly every other mainstream consumer device is manufactured in China and likely contain backdoors far more sinister than userland applications can muster. We can not and should not have such double standards when it comes to foreign policy.

The cherry on top, though, is that Western governments are far more sinister than China. Your local government has the capability to act upon the surveillance data that they collect on you, since you are in their jurisdiction. China, by comparison, can’t do anything to you except protect you from such local surveillance.

If the US dislikes China so much, place an embargo and see how long it takes for Uncle Sam’s evil empire to crumble.
It’s only a matter of money if everyone is not forced to allow it. As long as it is equally enforced it is not that big of a damper on things.
Neither Raph nor I were ever saying that the UI toolkit can magically make everything accessible; rather, we were saying that it’s roughly impossible to make an application accessible without support from the UI toolkit. These are very different things. (I’m afraid the terminologies we were all using contained some ambiguities that led to us talking at cross-purposes. I was always talking about framework concerns, since this whole discussion is all about the framework.)

Any fancy components will still need to be able to notify any accessibility tech what they are.

I contemplated saying more about other types of programs like those you mention, but decided that they’re really no different, beyond Tab being far less useful and often justifiably repurposed. The “canvas” parts may easily be just a black box that isn’t exposed to accessibility tech, but all of the rest of the UI around it (menus, configuration panels, property sheets, &c.) will still need to be exposed properly.
Ι confirm and i also enjoy the hybrid (2-3) model, but i don't think companies will keep it in the long run. When it's going to be fully remote for some of these, the majority of old-school employees will beg to return to the office or switch jobs.

Okay, so where do you get your information?
In Slovakia, bunch of journalist split from mainstream print and started daily news, using WordPress. No ads, but everything behind paywall. Not exactly cheap, but not expensive either.

They now have 43k subscribers (Keep in mind Slovakia is 5m people).

The key was combination of factors, too many to dissect it in comment. Basically it boils down to:

- Only news
- Slovak language
- High Quality, no clickbait
- No ads, snappy websites
- Little tracking (at least in comparison with typical news website)

It worked and I extremely happy for them. Keep in mind this is Slovakia, not exactly ultra rich country and people here were never too keen on paying for news.

I use Facebook: my experience is it's probably 50-50. Which means far more content (by duration or bandwidth) is images/video. I rarely look at the videos.

As an erstwhile small business owner it became very clear that business page posts with images always get more views so all informational posts always have images if you want to improve your engagement scores.

Most friend posts that are popular enough to spread to me include a gallery or shared video.

People make text comments on news stories and link a news website, which then pulls in an image/video. So often the headlines/images are misleading - as one finds on HN too.

I used TikTok for 6 months or so, even posted a video. To me the only content was ever goofy dances, magic tricks, acrobatics and 'pranks'. No more harmful than any other human-targeting Skinner Box.

And even more so if your heating and/or cooling system has integrated thermal storage. Storing a joule as heat (or cold) is much easier/cheaper than storing it in a battery.
