skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
So I have been accessing multiple databases for years, without any third-party gems. But it's true I've been doing it in limited ways, only a few tables that aren't the 'main' database, the secondary database being managed externally.

The things that were difficult before (that I didn't do), that are now supported/smoother, include: migrations (schema-history-as-code) for multiple databases; and the really new exciting feature, different database connections used for read and for write. (i'm sure there are other platforms that support that, but I know it's not universal).

To me these seem like fairly advanced features, I am not sure how many/which other "competing" frameworks support these features; it's a matter of opinion whether these features are required for 'maturity' or not, I'm not going to argue about that.

But to be clear that basic ability to connect to multiple databases has existed since long before August 2019.

For the other feature mentioned as being introduced four years ago in 2016, trying to make the argument that it indicates a lack of maturity because it should have existed for even more than 4 years in order to call it 'mature'? I think it's clear there is just some axe-grinding going on there.

In general, whatever Rails faults are (and of course it has plenty) I don't think a lack of "maturity" is one of them. There are few frameworks/platforms more mature (and I would actually be interested in what examples you are thinking of). If I wanted to talk about the places where Rails isn't as mature as would be liked, it's not features that don't exist or features that were introduced "only" four years ago -- it's in some new features that IMO were introduced with insufficient stability and polish, like webpack integration. That, or ActionCable, are much better examples if you want places where Rails isn't mature. The examples in this thread are... silly.
As usual with all the cool demos, seems to be broken on Firefox
>Old people dying? They had NONE, because people did not live that long.

That one's not actually true[0] -- life expectancy is an average, driven by high child mortality. If you beat age 12, your expected lifespan shot up, and age 60+ wasn't uncommon.

>Not able to move from home? Almost nobody ever was free to roam. They had to work their asses off in the field every day.

For farmers, they wouldn't really have the population density that stay-at-home applies anyways. But contagion requires two things to be a real threat: population density, and population movement.

Density keeps the virus alive, and movement transfers it to new populationa. Farmers and small towns get infected not on their own, but from trade with the major cities and city folk

Does your 5 year old samsung still get security updates?

Based on my experience using one of those for development, I'd rather not have a phone than rely on one of those daily.
This is so not a thing to me. I never ever realise we chabged until someone tells me and im like "oh ok".

People who complain about it are a bit "Snowflake Inc." to me.. sorry.
Good! Matt Walker has a very interesting Ted talk on sleep and also mentions the negative affects that DST has on society:

https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_walker_sleep_is_your_superpow...
If you actually read the article, why would you choose an irrelevant metric that is basically uncorrelated with the actual content of the article to prove your point?
I agree. I think I’d feel differently if the vehicles were more like trains on a track, if the roads had some added features that guided the vehicle. I just don’t think I’m down with the autonomous approach where the car is trying to make all the decisions I do.
The article is mostly suitably modest about mechanisms, focusing on the epidemiology of the observed effects, and it's more or less obvious to me that the transitions are disruptive to everyone, and especially so to sensitive individuals.

But there's also a bit in the answer to the fourth question (about long-term vs short-term impacts) that mentions effects of "chronic circadian misalignment". I've seen this a few times in various contexts, and it has always seemed to me that if this is what's driving some problems, one ought to be able to compare populations from different ends of an especially wide time zone, e.g. northwestern Indiana and Maine in the US, which are more than 15 degrees of longitude apart, but both in the US Eastern time zone. Surely one or the other of these groups always has at least half an hour of circadian misalignment?

Edit to add: On re-reading, I caught the bit at the end of the "abolition" question where there is a reference to what I wanted, apparently there are studies showing that people in the eastern side of the Central time zone get more sleep than people on the western side. There's even a link (to the Elsevier paywall, alas, but still...)

Edit 2: 15 degrees of longitude, not latitude.

> The TPM cannot prevent that

Wait, why? I mean, they would be able to access the TPM, sure, but not the keys that would unlock the hard drive. This was my understanding when I played around with TPM: if the boot order has changed, no keys are given to the running OS. You can only reset them, but that just leaves you with an encrypted hard drive and no password to unlock it. I've only used it with LUKS though, not with Windows, but it'd be weird if the approach was different
That would be insufficient, the infection takes a couple days or more to become detectable.

But we could all cough into our phones every day.

What you describe is what South Korea has done a couple of times now with more traditional testing, it certainly works if you actually do it.
This article has a very city-centric view. Rural communities, and farming very much prefer having DST. Every time removing DST has been postulated in the UK, it is the rural areas that object the most.
It may be a bit of a stretch, but a certain International Man of Mystery might disagree.
I like that twice a year we acknowledge the construction of time
I had poor sleep for ages and was never overweight, which is true of most insomniacs I imagine. Sleep apnea may facilitate obesity but it doesn't cause it. It's calories in, calories out.

I think the strong correlation of obesity with sleep apnea however should lend credence to the idea that it at least exacerbates it. But more to the point, there are conditions that are very similar to sleep apnea but are misdiagnosed as such. And these may very well be more related to weight.

To be a safe driver you have to be able to predict what the people around you are going to do. Simply reacting is not enough. I don't think that it's a coincidence that the guy selling self-driving cars is the same guy who goes around exaggerating the current abilities of AI.

I too am shocked that anyone is ok with this, given the auto industry's history of fighting against safety and transparency.
The problem is that Americans cannot see any faults or wrong in their society. It is truly blind faith much like a religion. Astonishing levels of stupidity all over.
I will only respond to one part of your rebuttal : do you think being called 'crazy or lazy' is in any way comparable to being called a fascist, nazi or murderer?

I don't think so.
I also had google refuse to repair a Pixel 3 under warranty, claiming it must be drop damage. I had every pixel before and, while the hardware was full of issues, google was always willing to fix them. It was this instance of them refusing to honor their warranty that finally pushed me from buying any more Pixel phones. While I’ve had no fewer hardware issues on apple devices (my 2017 mbp has had nearly everything but the case replaced for defects), at least apple honored their warranty.

I can’t believe that after 5 google phones/tablets they were willing to lose a customer over a minor hardware problem.
You have it backwards. It's the concept of class that allows you to use violence to put others in line.
If you don't want to deal with leaps at the leaf level, they are largely absorbed by most cloud hosts and NTPDs these days. The general idea is they'll smear a leap second over a whole day or more so most applications don't see it.

People that do care about a clock second being a few microseconds +/- can still do it themselves.

Obviously I have no idea what's in their heads, but a plausible train of thought goes like:

Legal : If you sell it as a drive assist and not a driver replacement, you're off the hook, with a high probability. It's on the drivers if they get complacent. There may even be precedents with similar products for trucks.

Moral: pushing this now will very likely kill some people that would otherwise be alive (drivers or pedestrians). But it's very unlikely to be a carnage - I'd dare say even impossible. On the other hand, moving the technology forward and directly into widespread commercial use will save people, and likely even... what's the equivalent word for a "carnage" but where people are saved? Miracle.

Branding: well, there you have a real risk. Public opinion is fickle, and a particularly gruesome accident might do some real damage, both to Tesla and to self driving technologies in general. But then, they do have a high risk high reward mentality, and the chance is good that the first bad accident (statistically inevitable) will come after the advantages are proven and well established.
Interesting that in the last 10 years some governments that got rid of the DST were accused of dismissing global warming by their political rivals
Those or needed though
Huh? Bridges stopped failing when engineers were held responsible. That’s a pretty fast change.

Holding people responsible doesn’t decrease or slow down innovation. It alters the incentives to align the innovation with public benefit. If properly caring for society is too slow for you, your part of the problem.
> You end up building almost double the amount of capacity that you actually use

This is the worst argument I've ever read for renewables.

With renewable and storage, you need to build at the very least 7 times the capacity. Maybe as much as 40 times the capacity. Because of the low load factor, the fact that it's pretty common to have a full week without wind or without sun, etc.
What kind of writing? Aside from the quotes, the description is pretty neutral. Do you believe the passengers said those things?
We’ve had stories for thousands of years, and the distinction between fact, fiction, propaganda, and lies, has always been based in tribal systems of authority. The tribes are bigger, the authorities more rigid, and we now think that the difference actually matters.
His top 5 performances in my mind

* The Man Who Would Be King

* The Offense

* Last Crusade

* The Untouchables

* The Wind and the Lion

He wasn't as bad of an actor as people say (compared to the greats), but he didn't take a lot of challenging roles. I wish he'd played more villains/anti heroes.
I'm surprised people have this opinion, on HN out of all places. In my view this technology shouldn't be allowed on public roads at all. Not even a little bit. Either it's 100% safe under all circumstances or it shouldn't be allowed. And Tesla definitely shouldn't be allowed to call it autopilot or "full self driving" when it very clearly isn't.

And yes, human drivers might be statistically worse - but just because this might be statistically better(and I'm not even sure that's actually the case here) it doesn't mean it should be allowed.
The crisis facing magicians is unprecedented
Was keeping an eye on Twitter a Few months ago, while watching the downtown being burned.

Started seeing tons of tweets from people who decided my area was next. Tons of people going out about how they were going to burn us down.
Then watching them as they all started heading our way.

Thankfully they found all the exits blocked by police.

I don’t own guns. But my area is big on gun rights. Looters vs gun nuts.

So yea, well. It’s a pretty screwed up situation. Like one step from civiL war screwed up.
Don't. Growing up is overrated. As the old saying goes: growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional :-)
I completely agree but for one point: we need reliable, always available energy sources, so we'd better ditch renewables for more nuclear.
No-Code and the IKEA Effect: Software lock-in evolved to make us never churn
They can decide to start waking up an hour earlier or later without forcing everyone else to change their clocks.
Nuclear has problems with the load being intermittent because it's too inflexible (you can't realistically run a nuclear plant for 12 hours and then turn it off, you really want it to be running the whole time). If you have nuclear capacity for peak load, then what do you do with that extra energy at off peak times? The solutions for this end up looking a lot like the solutions for dealing with the intermitency of solar/wind.

Yep it's awful, and something that is only solved by stricter warranty enforcement's. My (anecdotal) experience with apple warranties is the opposite - replacement device shipped that day and the courier picked up my broken one at the same time. Of course, I'm sure this was a one off, but it definitely left me feeling better.

Understand re; samsung, but as a consumer I don't want to spend weeks researching compatibility between all of the devices I own/plan on purchasing. Another example; I bought a sony bravia TV which runs android TV. Android tv advertised that it supports dvr recording features. Except sony force you to use another third party app "youvirw" which they ship an outdated version of which doesn't work with androids flavor of live recording.

Unfortunately this is rife across the android world; watches incompatible with payments, stock launchers that are incompatible with android OS features, the list goes on and on. And the issue is that all of these are sold as "android" devices, and it's not until you're knee deep in the ecosystem that you realise that it's all just lipstick on a pig.

Mt experience with the manufacturer-alternative apps is that in some cases their existence stops the alternative from working correctly (samsung knox vs android work profiles, fitbit pay vs google pay, huawei photos vs google photos),which just sucks. And you can only know about these issues if you research the compatibility of every app you want to use with your planned device...

And understand re; cheap devices, the comment thread is deep here!

Is that a permanently settled matter? When humans drive, they are relying almost exclusively on visual inputs.

I don’t see a reason to believe that humans are so far superior at visual processing that no self-driving based on video could best them and many reasons to think that we’re inferior in certain aspects of the task.
No, we can’t.
I’m not sure that’s going to help bridge the gap. Further re-trenching is the exact type of thing this article is warning against, no?
Cat Psychology and Domestication (2019)
There's a saying about Rust that it takes more effort to get a Rust program to compile without errors, but once it does, chances are it will work correctly. This seems counter-intuitive coming from other languages, but has been borne out by my experience. The strong typing and compiler guarantees push most run-time errors or unintended behavior to compile-time.

As a result, a lot of the iteration that happens is between me and `rust-analyzer` and `cargo check`, which, as you note, is much faster than a compilation pass with codegen and link.
But why the changing of clock settings? Could have just shown up earlier to follow the sunrise?
I have found this to be true with respect to doctors. Ultimately though, where I made gains by gleaning from research papers or books, it comes from authoritative sources i.e. some who know quite a lot about the subject. I never had to meet anyone to get better, I just read books and papers on google scholar. But sometimes a random person online can lead me that direction.
I think anyone considering America should really think about this line: "50% of voting population here voted for Donald Trump".

Donald Trump!! The 4 times bankrupt, lying, cheating, tv man was elected as the President.

What do you think that says about the population who voted? Seriously, America is no longer a paradise. It's a country full of people blind in their exceptionalism. It's violent. It's ruthless towards its own people to begin with.
> Bridges stopped failing when engineers were held responsible.

Oh did they?

Edit:

> Holding people responsible doesn’t decrease or slow down innovation.

Citation required. This is strongly non-intuitive.
This was a theory not really backed by evidence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

(Maybe a tiny electricity decrease and heating usage increase on average, depending on latitude - which would lead to more CO2 emissions overall, depending on the power source).

I think the idea of "change time to save power" was a fine experiment, but it clearly failed to produce meaningful results so we can stop the experiment.
> the software perspective of keeping up with DST is very costly.

To be clear, the software perspective is to use Unix time instead.[0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
Same. Pets and other animals also don't care about the time on the clock. It's not like they notice it's DST or not and shift waking up by an hour.

Besides the software insanity it causes there's a real human cost, and it wears me down for at least 2 weeks until everyone starts adjusting.
Tesla should follow Waymo's lead and release statistics on collisions while self-driving, and also the number of simulated counterfactual collisions avoided by the human taking over [1]. Based on the multiple incidents from the individual drivers cited in the article, it sounds like the numbers wouldn't be very good.

Because of authority and consensus issues.

Even in politics, you tend to have a consensus on what the desired end-state is (not on all subjects), but the question is how to best achieve that end-state, and many of the suggestions require the authority of the government to pass a new law. In theory, the role of government is to promote the will of the people, similar to the way you are describing - those unhappy people should be contacting their representatives and organizing their community.

Take for example school safety. There are a number of suggestions about this topic, but we'll take the two big ones. One side wants armed guards in schools. Another side wants to remove armed guards from schools and create new gun control laws (specifics of the suggested laws vary). The goal of both sides is to make schools safer, but they have opposing views on how to do that. This is also an issue that can't be solved without government authority (passing gun control laws or allowing armed guards in schools).

Debian Uses care. Otherwise they would use any other distro.

The good the about the distro fragmentation is precisely that, If debian curbs their ambitions then it is no longer debian, and those that prefer the debian way over ubuntu or fedora or arch would get screwed in the process.

It’s fine to not like it and not use it, but I do like projects that keep their ways.
"Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come"

Also don't need to have clocks at all, which was an industrial-age invention. The concept of standardized time and hour-long timezones dates from the mid-1800s, and was a construct of the railways (which needed to publish schedules that'd be valid across long distances). Before then each village or region had its own time.
