I think it is a browser compatibility issue. Chrome on macOS works fine for me. But Safari on my iPhone, same symptoms as you are having, and then eventually the screen fills up with errors like "Lively system startup aborted because a critical error occurred:"

This is where our preferences probably differ.

I’m not a fan of ActiveRecord or ORMs in general. I’d much rather write raw sql queries with a little help to improve reusability.

I found Prisma to be super basic. Anything complex like joins or a composition of where’s and ors and it didn’t work.

It also nests related objects where for my purposes I wanted everything to be flat. So if a list has a user associated with it, I want to flatten it like: { list, user }.

I also didn’t like how Prisma has a generate cli to integrate end developer models that must be integrated into your build step to deploy if you’re using typescript.

Its schema cli command worked but in weird ways that I didn’t like. Sharing Prisma types with the client was not automatic. For example, Prisma coverts datetime columns into dates, which sounds nice, but when I send that data as an api response it turns into a string. Now I can’t use their interfaces without plucking the date times and converting it to a string. It just wasn’t as useful as I had hoped.

Knex does exactly what I want and nothing more. All of my raw sql queries were easily converted and worked perfectly. I build the interfaces and knex uses them. There’s no special command that converts their schema format into something I can kind of use.

Their typing was nice once I got it working however, and for simple things it worked fine. I just noticed I had to write a lot of raw sql.

Signal is a treasure that shows us that more things than just Wikipedia can occupy the holy trio of Good, Popular, and Free, all at the same time (I would include having a user-aligned profit model such as donations instead of surveillance under Free/Good).

I hope that with all of these new users they are free to continue to provide their service for free, and even more so, that they may inspire us to build a better future with similar apps in other domains. They may definitely have some growing pains and tough moments ahead of them, but I'm ecstatic to see e2e getting so popular and users finally seeing the value in these kinds of things (after, for what seemed like a decade, getting anyone to care seemed impossible).
Why ship a desktop app when you can ship a browser product?

The business incentives often outweigh the technical benefits of desktop apps. DRM and payment processing are easy. Discoverability is a shit show but the only competitive advantage to app stores is exclusivity. No need to worry about provisioning user machines, DLL hell, whatever.

And whatever you do you're going to pay a couple of release engineers anyway.

There is a lot of not-quite-correct information about Egyptian hieroglyphs in the replies to this comment. Hieroglyphs are actually a hybrid system, incorporating uniliteral glyphs (representing a single consonant sound), bi- and triliteral glyphs (representing two or three consonants), and logograms, representing a full word or concept. They also include "determinatives," which are basically helpful pictures at the end of a word that tells you something about the category of the word. Sometimes, a word incorporates all three types of symbol. For example, the word "Ra," if it refers to the sun god, might have the two consonants r and ' (which is close to a), followed by a picture of the sun, followed by the seated god determinative.

So I guess the real answer here is that the Egyptian writing system incorporates elements of alphabets and logographs, used together. Vowels were (mostly) not marked, though some "consonants" are treated as vowels in transliteration. I'm not entirely sure what the distinction is there.
I guess yet another platform is censoring its users /s

If the USA is restricting immigration, and Canada is not, this is just another driver for the top talent to flee Canada to the USA.

Canada might succeed in becoming a dumping-ground of migrants, a country of cheap back-office labour and expensive housing, but that sounds like a terrible place to live or develop any cutting-edge technology.

If you get something for free then it has no value.

Remember the last time you got an item for free. You probably didn't worry too much about it, because it didn't cost you anything. You didn't treat it that carefully.

Compare that to something you bought for yourself, that you had to work hard for. You probably took a lot of care for it. You probably really paid attention to ensure it didn't break.

I feel like this is the mentality difference. Something free = no value = we can treat it badly. Something not free = it has value = we are more careful with it.

The nicest customers I have for my Saas product are also the ones who have the largest accounts. The ones that pay $15 a month for a single user on the cheapest account are always the ones asking for a list of like 50 new features to be implemented yesterday or "the product just isn't gonna work for us". Yea ok, because your $15 buys you a right to own my entire roadmap... not.

Most probably couldn't. But most will likely never have to think of that. Parler's inherent value proposition increased this risk and they were foolish not to consider and plan for that.

Risk management is part of the job. Businesses that don't do it properly will often fail. Sometimes this is an unfortunate thing, sometimes it's a happy accident.

A lot of people like it so don’t let me critique shy you away from using it. It probably works best if you are using graphql since it automatically nests the models which I would imagine works well with query resolvers.
Probably because it doesn't stand on it's own and it's not nearly as impactful.

That may be an effect of vacations, but that is not their driving purpose, which may be: to get away, recharge, do something different, travel (remember when that was a thing?), visit friends, and so on.

A big part of coming back from a vacation is catching up. Vacations can feel a lot better when it is easier to get back in the groove when you get back.

There are chat/messaging systems that make catching up much easier than Slack. I really like Zulip, for example.
Actually, the margins weren't that small except for in Georgia and Nevada. And no, it wasn't down to those cities. Those cities voted about the same as they did in the last election.

Lower levels should definitely be regulated or split up if practical. I think busting monopolies is better in general, but sometimes (like for existing utilities) it makes more sense to regulate a "natural" monopoly.

Facebook is not really an "magazine". In this analogy, it's more like a print shop or a point of sale, except that 3 giant corporations own all the printing equipment/all the newspaper stands, and they decided to stop printing/selling NYT because some opinion piece in there used bad language.

There are degrees of regulation; people on HN tend to like "net neutrality", and I don't think many people are against anti-discrimination laws for businesses, so why not "hosting neutrality" where cloud platforms, oligopolic in particular, don't get to kick people off their hosting just because they supposedly disagree with them?

I don't care about American Free Speech. I'm not an American. I'm an Indian.

Yes it is worse for America's image that a competitor censors another competitor. It puts a bad light on the US Government itself that it cannot regulate private companies and are at the mercy of private companies that even Government communications can be censored. This is far beyond what free speech is all about.

And don't tell me US Government hasn't banned private companies. Huawei ban immediately comes to mind. So many companies have been banned for nefarious activities including but not limited to fraud and scams. It is 100 percent in the purview of US Congress to ban for any violations of law. Free speech has nothing to do with powers the US Government enjoys vis-a-vis legal entities like a company or trust. A company is not an individual. A company is not a Citizen of the United States. A company doesn't enjoy free speech rights. It is a legal entity that was allowed to function because of the US Government. Not because Apple, Facebook, Twitter or Google decided to. Only the US Government can cancel trade licenses, company registration and debar individuals from ever holding directorship. That power is not vested in the hands of few silicon valley companies.

A wmii tag workspace encompasses all the monitors; if I switch tags on one monitor, it switches tags on all monitors; you can't show multiple tags at once.

In principle, wmii handles multiple monitors great; it's had Xinerama support the entire time I've used it (checking mercurial, since late 2008; first being included in a stable release in late 2009). Though, I've been discovering that it has some bugs with layouts that aren't just the monitors tiled horizontally. (That doesn't stop me from using it that way, just that there's some bugs for me to grumble at.)

Not sure if that applies to this highly derided topic.

I do agree the mass hysteria angle has a place in the digestion of all these accounts, but what is the mechanism? Is it reproducible? Is it only applicable to panic situations? What about when you have tangible forms of evidence to follow the account (such as air-to-ground and infrared radar [0])? Incidentally, that's the account that was convincing enough to get me interested enough in this subject to study it with an open mind.

For small files (less than 4MB), the number of Get/Put/Delete is the same comparing using S3 directly. For larger file, each object in S3 is about 4MiB. Most of S3 Client will do the similar thing to GET/PUT small parts in parallel to speed things up. Overall, JuiceFS should use the similar number of GET/PUT request comparing to use S3 directly.

Second, all the List and Head request go to Redis, they are free, so you may save some cost on API costs.

Third, the frequently read data will be cached in your local disks, so you will also save some cost on GET/PUT requests.
>no one ever managed to corroborate the obviously fake news pushed by NYP.

At least two of the messages were DKIM-authenticated by an unrelated third party. Combine that with:

* Biden's campaign explicitly refusing to call the emails inauthentic

* Pics of Hunter in compromising positions

* The laptop being the subject of a grand jury subpoena

...and there's more evidence pointing towards the story's legitimacy than away from it. In fact, that leaves the only real thing pointing away as "it's a sketchy-ass tabloid", which is adhom at the end of the day.

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a platform for connecting students 1-on-1 with companies on their real-life marketing projects for a short and sweet program. Students work on the company's marketing projects for 10 hours/week for 6-8 weeks while industry professionals within the company mentor for merely an hour/week. The platform has a chat feature and a step-by-step wizard for companies to make a project, chat, and track progress via a milestones feature.
We are accepting sign-ups for the waitlist right now.

If you are an individual/company looking for uplifting your marketing strategy or even just need help running basic social media campaigns then feel free to sign-up (link below).

If you are a post-secondary/university student, feel free to join the waitlist by signing up on our website.

Not sure what people see in Signal. Having the client be open source without having the infrastructure decentralized is pretty pointless and just sets it up for failing again when the organization controlling the central infrastructure starts acting poorly.

But that being said, if you don't like Signal, just don't use it.

It's not clear what's going on with the LED in the article's schematic, because only one side of it is connected. Depending on how the other side is tied off -- you can tie it to VDD or to ground -- you can get "lit high" or "lit low" behavior out of it. (And, of course, the polarity might be reversed. LEDs are notorious industry-wide for having confusing polarity markings. So never, ever assume a LED is the right way around....) That's because this NAND gate is quite good at either sinking or sourcing current: 24 mA either way (at 3.3V). Older designs are not so balanced, or capable of so much current. (The LVC family is often chosen for exactly this reason.)
I'm not an Egyptologist, but I can read hieroglyphs and can say with surety that Egyptian hieroglyphs are both pictographic AND alphabetic. It's actually an interesting system, where an alphabet (abjad, sort of) exists, but is not usually used in isolation from pictographic writing, nor can most Egyptian words be expressed entirely pictographically. For example, "Nile" is written "i t r w picture-of-water." "Sun" can be written as either a picture of the sun (with a single stroke added, indicating it is a logogram) or as "r ' picture-of-sun." The ' is the common transliteration for the arm hieroglyph, and my understanding is that it's likely pronounced something like the Arabic ayin.
