Many young scientists have left the research community after completing their PhD's because they were unable to obtain funding the old-fashioned way, by submitting grant applications that are evaluated through the peer review process, rather than by kowtowing to a sexual predator who was facing charges for the sex-trafficking of minors and was trying to buy his way out of federal prison by "facilitating" donations to Harvard and MIT through his billionaire co-conspirators that include Leon Black, Glenn Dubin, and Les Wexner, in exchange for thank-you notes, as a form of reputation laundering, from co-conspirator and still-president of MIT L. Rafael Reif.

The patent system is federal law. It starts out in federal district court. That's the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas when the plaintiff "resides" there, which they do in order to get into that court. (The defendant also has to be subject to its jurisdiction, but that's generally true for companies that do business nationwide.)

Ordinarily federal cases are appealed to the circuit court of appeals for that region, but patent cases everywhere are appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If your first thought on hearing that there is a specific federal appeals court that gets all the patent cases was that it would be the target of regulatory capture by patent plaintiffs, you guessed right.

After the circuit court, the next appeal would be to the US Supreme Court. But they don't take very many cases and for a long time they especially didn't take very many patent cases, so the other two captured courts have been screwing up the patent system for decades.
I don't think parent was saying they haven't used EXPLAIN ANALYZE or it's equivalent.

Explain tools are quite good at showing what the db chose to do. They generally suck at explaining why that particular plan was chosen, or why a particular strategy was not used (i.e. why the table scan when there's a perfectly good index).
Now saying "Cali" means you're either greater than or equal to Gen-X or not from/living in California at all.

It honestly makes me wince.

But I'll concede to a counterpoint that there is rarely a reason to say California when you are in California, as "norcal" and "socal" and other regions are said more often.
For small projects like this either one would probably be fine. Hell, you can try implementing with both just to see what you like and don't like from each.

As an author of tens of thousands lines of Rust code, I can answer (instead of time): ease of refactoring (especially huge codebases) is one of the main selling points of Rust. Everything helps you to refactor code safely and quickly: compiler, IDE, tests. You can rename/move/change signatures without ANY fear, even if you are touching “ancient” code used in a lot of places. Even if something is not covered by tests, compiler will catch.

The "past" feature is implemented by a third-party site, not HN.

Also, you can see the URL of the page and highlighted text on the page that it's searching by the title text as well as the link. The previous submission's title did not have all the words of the current one, hence does not show in the search results.

I'd recommend using JS (or TypeScript) for a while to understand how Node.js performs before making comparisons like this, because it does surprisingly well under the kind of load most web or API servers see. The standard library and the package ecosystem use asynchronous IO for nearly everything, which makes multithreading almost irrelevant, and the V8 JavaScript engine is extremely fast.

.NET makes it harder to do asynchronous IO, but easier to do traditional multithreading. I'm hesitant to say whether I think the average server running on .NET performs better than the average server running on Node.js, but I'm confident the performance difference isn't as wide as you might believe, and Node.js might even have the advantage.

Of course, but you don't seem to have picked up or entertain my implied sentiment and position that public policy is great at best and deception at worse and people often vote against their own interests due to lack of educated individuals, with agreed upon facts and goals, as well as critical thinking being a cultural, societal, worldwide human "common".

For a successful civillization reality must take precedence over public relations for Nature cannot be fooled.

People are just fing resistant to change and we've really made a mess in a lot of ways not good for the hive or the bess and unbound externality called willful ignorance is burning away at the roots of society, jeopardizing the tree of consciouness.

It makes a little more sense when you consider the wider graphql ecosystem, like Apollo or Relay, which normalize all data received and keep your UI up to date automatically. In that light, graphql-the-ecosystem has solved a big part of frontend state management. With graphql and react hooks, I have found no need for redux anymore for typical CRUD needs.

I actually solved this exact problem recently (who is NOT trying to recreate Roam Research amirite?) And surprised no one else suggested the solution I came up with: just use a text column? When a new list is created the items get incrementing chars as text. If a user reorders an item, the items new sort order value is the value of the item above it concatenated to an "a". This is infinitely extensible, it's only slightly a drag on storage, and very trivial to clean up with some periodic code if storage is actually getting to e a problem. Works like a charm and Dont need to modify postgres itself for this!
His choice of words could have been better, but I believe he is lamenting the act of further complicating the existing sprawl of pronouns etc. Rather than suggesting an particular person should not exist
I think the biggest factor is in this is that so many different tools are being used. Often tools are brought in to make something easier or solve some problem but nobody seems to be thinking about the huge cost that this entails in terms of keeping all of these moving parts working. I think staying with older and more solid stuff that is not in a rapid flux of so-called improvement is often a much more pleasant experience. I think the barrier for introducing some new kind of tooling should be much higher than it often is in practice.
They're not meant to be condescending, it's just exhausting to play the HN game where you can't just make a point and assume people will fill in the smallest blanks...

> However I'd never say XML itself was flawed

I’ll say XML was flawed. It was a great initiative behind the wrong data model. The idea was to take what made sense for documents (strings with markup) and use that to represent everything else. But most data structures are really awkward expressed that way, and you run into weird decisions like: Should my map be a list of items or a set of attribute pairs in a single node? Is the key a node or an attribute? When does order matter? Etc.

If the XML standards group started with JSON or YAML or .. anything else, I think they would have made something really useful. But we didn’t think of that at the time, so instead we have XML. An impressive monolith built on a dead mountain.

You are right - taxation is coercion and not virtuous. You are also right about representative democracy - the incentive is to have the state fleeze your neighbour as much as possible. For those working in the bureaucracy the incentive is to convince the boss you need a larger budget next year.

Every time I heard “why not mongo?! NoSQL is fast!”, my pg instance barely used 50 gb and was nowhere near the scaling issues.

Also, I’ve seen so many developers who never even heard term “eventual consistency” in my time interviewing, it’s terrifying.
I believe I have misunderstood how this library works, and I agree with what you're saying.

At first glance I thought that rerender(args.element) referred to the element that the method containing rerender(args.element).

Hence, I thought that if you altered global state in a component and called rerender(args.element) it would only rerender a single element and it's children rather than the entire component.

Looking at the code more closely I see that args.element actually refers to the component, so the rerender function does do a full rerender.

Actually, something that I appreciate about Zig is how approachable it is for people coming from TypeScript/JavaScript.

Zig is insanely easy to read coming from high level languages like these. It's only when you start to write Zig that you need to take more time to understand, for example, the difference between the lifetime of a pointer to stack allocated memory vs a pointer to heap allocated memory.

But by then, I think Zig will have already hooked you.

Zig is also a great way to learn systems programming, because the design of the language and the std lib code itself is such a great teacher.
Same here. I moved a lot of my contacts and several groups over to Signal. And this happened. I'm fine with the down time, I don't have any urgent communication needs and if I did, there are other ways to contact people (SMS, email, WhatsApp, etc.). But I feel like I owe these people an explanation about this. An explanation where I say, "Hey look, there are no guarantees this won't happen in the future, but should still stick to this one". I'm not very good at writing and hoping to find something that I can use :)

> no animal would allow itself to be boiled alive

The most plain reading of this statement implies both understanding of the situation, and consent, which implies an understanding of self and the implications for the self. I'm saying you clearly don't mean that... so you must be anthropomorphizing some evolved environmental response as "not allowing".

I'm arguing that very few frogs and their ancestors have been in situations where the best response to slowly rising heat is to move frantically. So, maybe the have some other evolved response that will get them out of the pot, but it's almost certainly not an evolved response to an evolutionary pressure of slowly rising water temperatures.

The best response to a hot desert is to move slowly and surely to some place to hide, which is the opposite optimal strategy for a boiling pot of water (jump rapidly, try as many times as possible in a short time). An evolved response to survive in a hot desert would work against the boiling pot situation.

> By that logic people will stay outside and freeze to death from hypothermia

This analogy makes no sense unless you think frogs have a human-like ability to understand situations and plan. Humans' response to extreme cold is dominated by their understanding of the self and their situation. Even some humans will die of hypothermia in their own homes before seeking help[0]. Humans starting to get hypothermia don't run around frantically, which is what heated frogs need to do in order to survive a hot pot. The analogy is just badly broken.

This is your second response that seems to be anthropomorphizing frogs. Frogs aren't just small slow thinking humans without opposable thumbs. Their response to situation is different in kind, not just degree, from that of humans. Reasoning by analogy with human behavior is downright misleading.

That is quite a phenomenal explanation.

Just to reiterate one key part for your question, all of the energy systems (ATP hydrolysis, phosphocreatine hydrolysis, glucose fermentation and finally glucose & fat oxidation) can produce energy in tandem and/or independently in muscle and other cells. But, first listed higher power systems are depleted within minutes and require expense of other systems to "recharge" (supercapacitor analogy) vs. glucose & fat oxidation can pretty much carry on constantly but are much lower power due to slower speed/higher complexity of their pathways (rather than just a battery I'd say an analogy of renewable energy [glucose] + battery storage [lipids in adipose] is more suitable i.e. steady input of energy source = steady utilization/output of work that can carry on pretty much constantly).

So, many systems can produce energy together/in tandem in the cells, but the higher power systems once exhausted can force your body to temporarily cease high intensity activity to rest and recover. Glucose and fat oxidation don't ever stop in that process, but in recovering those higher power systems your body prevents you from engaging in more high energy "burst" activities until those systems "recharge".

Training can allow you to modify these higher power systems to last longer, and recover quicker, but there will always be a top end constraint where every person "runs out of gas" when performing continuous high intensity/exertion activity.
Virtuos does not mean effective. I am of the opinion that we should have a democratic government that is able to spend some of their citizens money on projects deemed worthwile.

This is how public schools are funded in my country and I like that we fund them like this instead of private schools with fees that would exclude some families.
This model of funding works for a lot of public infrastructure and I doubt individual donations would make up for that.
I think it is critical for this public funding to be under democratic control. Otherwise it is definitely unjust.
In the end I think public funding / taxes is a way to bypass the tragedy of the commons (not sure if that is the right term here).

I really like the idea of rust. The set of language feature they combined is great.

I’ve kind of noticed the opposite around Portland, OR in that there may not be any bottles or cans on the ground anymore but there’s literally all other forms of garbage everywhere because people just dump trash cans on the streets and parking lots and pick up the bottles and walk away. Kind of ironic if the actual intent of the tax was to keep bottles and cans and garbage off of the street but I don’t actually know if that was the intent

Microservices and monorepos are unrelated to each other.

You can have 100 micro services from a single repo, and the services are just different folders.

Microservices help people have bounded context when they are develop and they leak their abstractions less into the next one. Monoliths (admittedly I've only seen them in Python, Ruby and .Net) start reaching into each others pieces and adding to tech debt in subtle ways.

You are of course right, discipline is required in both architectures, but there are different emphasis in both.
Email is inappropriate because its easy to "hide" behind an email. Video call them and enumerate his abuse list while looking them in the eye. Quote their language word for word back to them and if this doesn't embarrass them straight away ask them to justify the language and then whatever they answer, tell them its not acceptable.

Put the spotlight directly on them and reveal the behaviour unambiguously - video call, not email.
FWIW I think you may have confused me with the op of this thread. I don't actually disagree that most of the BLM protestors were peaceful, as BLM did not explicitly encourage property crime and violence. Antifa however did, and the worst crimes were mostly committed by antifa members and not BLM.

There is alot of odd cognitive dissonance in your comment which I appreciate proves your own point, you were presented with evidence that goes against your own world view, but instead of "stopping and thinking" you just decided to outright dismiss it instead of acknowledging it.

You stated you didn't see any evidence of violent assaults on police officers in portland, yet I gave you an example of a protestor assaulting a police officer with a hammer and instead of addressing it, you resorted to projecting a false narrative of ad-hominem and assumptions of my world view which are actually incorrect.

The funny thing about human biases is they actually effect us all, including you, and thank you so much for proving this. Its made my argument here easy.

Hopefully you take some time to "stop and reflect" how cognitive dissonance can corrupt your own world view when your presented with evidence that goes against it.
