All great, then you need to port it to something other than that one specific SSD and it's too much work.

We have abstraction boundaries for a reason, we give up a small % of performance and in return we can write code once (say SQLite) and use it in many scenarios. For something like SQLite it means it's been around for a long time and had a lot of optimization work done on it (and that probably outweighs the few % gain you might get from such tight integration).

You'd probably get a bigger performance gain from just not using SQL (eg. a DBM).
Ah! Then yes I agree.
> curious why the term "skimmer" is used

It has a history of this usage, eg https://blogs.akamai.com/2020/01/protecting-websites-from-ma...

It relates the attack to something a lay person can easily absorb. As their security blog is written for a lay person (ie, IT manager type person who has some understanding of infosec but probably not their day job), who will not care too much about the nuances of how the attack is perpetrated, the term serves them well.

Something's getting confused somewhere.

If the vote is 1000 to 0, then the result (vote count) will be different if one person stays home -- 999 to 0 -- but the result (victor) will be the same.

Exactly the same thing is true in the case where it's 1000 to 999. If one of the losing voters stays home, you get a different vote count --- 1000 to 998 -- and the same victor. There are 999 people, half the entire electorate, who can stay home without making any meaningful difference at all.

What is the difference that you see?

I have been looking for something exactly like this. Your origin story is very apt: there really isn't an approachable cross-platform solution for noobs like me. Will definitely be checking this out. Thank you for sharing.
I dare you to go ask that on the OpenBSD mailing list.

No seriously. I don't know. I'd like to know.

That flag does more than just enable unstable features in the stable compiler, and it should be avoided unless you are actually compiling rustc.

It is not only the analogy. I like to use Midi controllers which have hardware knobs mapped to software knobs for live performances.

Sure, you could map a knob to a slider or anything really, but it makes the interaction easier

For this 8gb is fine though right? I get the idea - we want Apple to push the bar. But my 2011 4gb MacBook Air with Catalina does those things fine... swapping to an SSD is reasonably fast.
As we are embarking on some beautiful philosophy on this thread, I feel inclined to try to contribute.

It's definitely the homogenization and corporatization, and the ads and paywalls, tracking and privacy issues, etc.

Perhaps this is nostalgia, but, exploring isn't the same as it used to be. I was 8 in 2003 and I remember surfing the wild west web of fan sites for my favorite shows and games. Pokemon probably had the most. A lot of people's sites were really intricate and organized and had a lot of content. I fondly remember a few sites with content created by just their owner.

When people had their own personal websites and didn't worry about copyright strikes and ads, when you didn't have to sign in, people were more creative. A lot of these kids would experiment with different types of art. Those personal fan sites often included art, fan fiction, flash cartoons, and journals. I liked all the different site layouts. Now everything is a cookies message and a hamburger menu.

Later on places like deviantart came and swallowed most of those creative people by the time I was 13 or so, old enough to really contribute something. Deviantart is a great example of a website filled with beautiful art (and even more garbage), connected to dead accounts, that may be purged or broken when sitewide changes occur, and forever forgotten.

Maybe they wouldn't be preserved at all if a personal site went down, but I feel like placing everything within the bounds of an unreadable terms of service, held by an uncaring corporation, on a site with some customization if you feel like paying for it, is a bigger problem depending on who you are. When everyone had their own, it felt more spread out, you didn't have to join one big community to talk to a group or an individual, you just... clicked a mailto link.

Maybe it's a convenience thing, in that case, not every artsy person also wants to be their own webmaster. But alternately, those who do create personal sites or project sites are forced to market themselves as there's less "exploration", people don't "discover" as easy.

Perhaps I'm unusual but, as a kid, I used to put vague terms into Google and surf to the 20th or 30th page and find all the neat stuff I could. My disk was stuffed with gifs and sprites and little games.

Remember back in like '02 when FunnyJunk was the same colors as HN? (iirc)

wfh today, probably shouldn't be writing books like this.
"I understand that and not saying it is not great, just that it seems to be more difficult to master than I expected. It can be fun to tinker with and learn if you have the time.

Just to commiserate, I feel the same way about the pedal steel guitar :D

Just thinking about Google's claims that it may [for which I read "will"] also start deleting data from inactive accounts:

I would assume that, as well as their 'live' storage of user data in their data centres full of hard drives, with whatever RAID type redundancy they use there, Google also has longer term archived backups which I again assume would probably be tape based. So, would the data from a dormant account actually be deleted? I can hardly see Google digging through their tape archives to delete cold-stored data from dead accounts. It would be so much hassle and be more costly than just leaving it as is.

It could very well be the same situation with actual 'live' data in data centre, belonging to dormant accounts.

Say you have a multi-TB hard drive in a data centre somewhere and, on that multi-TB drive, you have one or two users whose accounts are deemed to be now dormant. Would it really be worth Google's while to delete those one or two users' 'stuff'?

OK. the data savings would add up with thousands of inactive accounts, spread across data centres. But if all that freed up space is in relatively tiny amounts, dotted around thousands of hard drives, it would be a nightmare to manage and keep track of. Unless Google has some kind of system in place which is constantly shuffling data around to effectively 'de-frag' entire data centres?
That's interesting, and that seems extremely logical. I imagine it would be really hard for an app to enforce this, compared to the societies that traditional match makers operate in where if you didn't pay them for a match they found you, you might end up publicly shamed.

I was really let down when Adobe After Effects removed the ability to randomize "effect groups" (for lack of a better name, basically a group of layered effects that creates a single, easily recognizable effect, such as "grainy movie film").

I spent so many hours playing with that thing. Don't get me wrong, I still do, but now I have to make all those tweaks manually instead of rolling the dice and hoping for a gem. Sadly, I don't find nearly as many gems as I used to when I was able to roll the dice.
I watched the video on your recommendation and am glad that I did. Thanks for mentioning it!
I think for us it was more about defining our relationship to other people. If you say "I have a partner" people can't understand without further explanation what that means. Also marriage doesn't have to be expensive.
It might be more soul-crushing though to be matched, exchange a couple of messages, agree to meet, then have the photo reveal, then "oh sorry, something came up"? (Like today's dating apps, but with an extra step or two and more investment at the time of rejection.)

Right now, you just get invisibly and unknowingly filtered out by those who don't find you attractive. That gives a certain amount of esteem preservation to the activity at least.
Law and order were put on hold, until the army got to us.

I'm Canadian, grew up in the area, was living in BC during the ice storm, and returned soon thereafter.

No one I know would describe it this way. I've never heard the ice storm described this way.

Yes, many people were without services for extended periods of time. Yes, the Army was required to clear roads, removed downed trees, and was in play to help calm the public.

Yet "Law and order" on hold, paints a picture I do not believe as accurate. I sounds as if hoodlums and criminals were running rampant in the streets. Can you find any news articles, any info collaborating this, or some variation?

Certainly, I know of many people with snowmobiles, which made trips to get supplies and so forth for neighbours. I also know stories of people sharing, helping their neighbours.

I've been without power for 2 weeks where I live, due to a massive windstorm, and living in a very rural location.

Where I grew up, in the mid/late 1970s, our entire county's substation blew up, when covered with one of the largest snowfalls of the century (snow was literally to the top of telephone poles, I recall my father having to climb out of a second story window, and dig a path so we could get out of the back door and start digging out...).

The storm was already big, but it was coupled with lake effect snow in my area. Needless to say, it took weeks to get power back, clear the roads of 10+ feet of snow, which fell over a few days.

In none of these cases, did everything break down. People just stuck together.

NOTE: I fully agree that eventually, things will break down. If people have no food, and there is no food available, people will ensure they have food.

But none of these events seem quite like this.

Even a city apartment often has more than a week of something to eat. Even if it's old lima beans. :P

I switched my team from Sketch to Figma. I was able to replace 4 software tools with one (Sketch, Zeplin, InVision, Box). It doesn't do everything as well as the others, but it does them well enough. I have been managing co-located design teams since before Covid. The mix of visibility into my design teams work, the capabilities of sharing components and libraries, and the ability to easily share work across product and engineering has made a huge impact. My team's work is more transparent, up to date, and we can iterate together more easily.
While I hope it works out for you - I'm wondering what makes you think it's just about lack of motivation?

Having said all that, as a user of Notion I've been incredibly impressed. Their support staff seem friendly and responsive and they keep making the product better and better.

My only gripes are the weird password email confirmation of the mobile app login, and that I can't use it as a Zettelkasten.

Other than that, it really is fantastic. The Kanban and other features meant that it's replaced other apps I was using for both work and personal. It really is worth a try.
Yeah I was thinking about Photoshop and Lightroom, which I also use, as other examples of what OP said.

Photoshop is scriptable/extendable and Lightroom has the more intuitive GUI. Apple started the Lightroom paradigm with Aperture, which was kind of the GarageBand of photo editing softwares until Lightroom caught up with the ease of use.

Celebrities in general. It's the fact that you get famous for a focused discipline or achievement but then people look to your opinion on any and everything else, or even if you are still consulted on only your area of focus you can become lazy and indulge in your status and power, whereby your opinion should no longer be relevant, but you are still popular and listened to.

The fact that Notion staff technically has unrestricted access to all user and account data legally prevents me from putting the vast majority of my work-related items on there.

Cardiopulmonary digital health startup Eko raises $65M in Series C funding
They do suggest a mitigation: Akamai Page Integrity Manager, which they say is proven effective against this attack. I wish they'd have stated if they had to make an update to PIM for it to recognize this attack, or if it worked as-is (as-was). The lack of such statement, given that this is a sales blog, strongly suggests they had to update PIM.

Indeed it's a bit of a cheap shot since they could have gotten the ip via whatismyip.com or any other innumerable ways. It just happened to use CF, which I'm sure they were jumping in joy about since they get to do a direct compare against CF: Akamai has PIM, CF does not.

> indexes them in a local SQLite DB.

I don't really understand this. I've been in computing for 45 years now. Programs come and go. I store files I want to keep in the most generic format practical. Storing a file in some program's special format is not a good plan for reading it 40 years from now.

For photos, I store them as jpgs in folders named after the year. Within those folders, there might be sub-folders named with a topic, like "disneyland" or "christmas". I'll "tag" photos by selecting a name for the jpg, like "bob and sue.jpg".

If more is needed, I'll just add a "notes.txt" file in the folder, with whatever text seems appropriate.

I have no worries about ascii text becoming unreadable, and few worries about jpgs becoming unreadable.

That seems to be pretty common statement about JavaScript, but strangely not one I share.

I have been programming since the early 80s, and my experience with JS has been pretty positive, especially compared to the slog through the unreadable mud that is enterprise Java. (If I was going to rage quit on something, it would be the verbose, obtuse, repetitive Java sludge I’ve had to read the last decade and a half)

Typescript solves problems I don’t have. The Jetbrains IDEs do autocomplete just fine on vanilla JS, and the documentation window automatically shows the initialization and any JSDoc for most every symbol the editor cursor touches. I avoid writing code with thousands of global symbols.

OOP languages like Object Pascal and C++ are good for making lemonade from the lemon of manual memory management, but if you have efficient garbage collection, use functional programming techniques rather than OOP bloat, and many self inflicted problems go away.

I hope TS doesn’t turn JS into Enterprise Java, The Next Generation.

Nothing personal, most people seem to prefer that style. Just understand, there is a reason some people run away from the C++ / Java / C# / TS milieu.
Umm.... no. The disabled account thing is pretty common. Perhaps it's safer than flying a GA Cessna 172 in a storm, or being an air force test pilot. But probably not even that.

And as for killed services with a billion users, well, free unlimited Google Photos is now a killed service.

As for killed paid services, Google Play Music, Nest Secure, Google Photos Print, Google Audio Ads, and a ton of others.
Having worked in this space, I can tell you there’s no putting that genie back in that bottle. Classifieds were great for the verticals that made money because it was the best distribution model given the economics pre internet. Now the marginal cost of disseminating classifieds type information is so close to zero that there will always be competition driving the profit margins down, on a per vertical basis. Just let that sink in. That means that there is no defensive moat on general classifieds, because someone can swoop in and make one vertical so compelling that they can start to generate network effects that can be hard to counter.

You don't get a productivity boost with electron over something like XAML. What you get is the ability to reuse your web code in an app, access a few more APIs and call it "native".

Most apps today are so bloody slow they are unworkable. Remember your program absolutely positively have to respond in under 100 milliseconds or won't be perceived as instant and will thus be a hindrance to thought, rather than a benefit to it.

So, we are supposed to listen to a group of voters who do not know what is good for them? A union would have definitely helped and these voters chose to vote for the party that decimated unions. Are we supposed to pay attention to a group that refuses to look at facts and often votes driven by baser needs than what is good for them. I say we just need to build a collation that makes this group of voters irrelevant. If the last 4 years haven't made them not support Trump then I do not see the point of trying to bring them into the fold.

I wouldn't. Exactly-once is a fool's quest, and the scheme in this article does not offer it.

To achieve at-least-once, you need only track which tasks have been successfully retired, and persist that knowledge in the database by either deleting or mutating the task. During a cold start you scan the persistent store to find tasks that were still pending/live at the time your process began.

I'm actually glad to see this. Unlimited storage is unsustainable.

I don't like seeing things tied to advertising revenue. It's not comfortable from a privacy perspective, and it's certainly not competitive for other players wanting to enter the space without the dollars from Google's huge advertising funnel/marketplace/ecosystem.

You'll notice Google also started to clamp down on Gmail trash storage space, and I'll bet they're going to place more limits on Drive and unused accounts.

I wonder if this is antitrust driven? Or are they hurting for space? We haven't seen this crop up on Youtube, where I bet they're really parched for disk space.

Will Google start deleting YouTube content that is super long tail and unviewed?
It at least allows to host it on your own or ask a friend to do it for you. It's of course hard to have all the features of Google Photos, but it's FOSS, so anyone can contribute.
