I'm currently facing an issue where the chosen uuid format was v4. From my understanding this is the least preferable because it's true random, which causes hell for mysql indices.

What I don't quite udnerstand however, is why is sorted random better if I'm using an index in both cases? I'd like to know what I should be doing and if there is a way to move/migrate if possible

Ten years ago Google News was excellent because it was easy to read multiple perspectives on a story by clicking multiple articles. I ended up visiting more news sites than I would have otherwise simply to get a better picture.

Nowadays it's much harder to get that comparison, and I avoid certain sites because I know they're paywalled, or because they present information in video form, which IMO is somewhat reader-hostile (you can't skim a video). So to the extent that your guess is correct, it is something that the news sites have brought upon themselves.

I really like the idea of this, both as a means to discover new projects, and to learn more about plans/roadmaps/updates for projects I already know about.

A couple of suggestions, if I may:

- Tags: assuming the amount of content grows, it's going to be difficult to sort things that interest me from things that don't. Tags (like StackOverflow uses them) would let me filter to languages/concepts that interest me

- RSS feed: I consume a lot of blogs using RSS, and it would be my preferred method for a news site like this too. Ideally it would work with the tags feature above
Strongly this.

Privacy is not a technology problem. It's a business problem. As long as the adtech industry is allowed to thrive, as long as people build companies with ad-based or data-resale-based business models, this will be an endless game of whac-a-mole, with the browsers only ever growing in complexity, and building anything on the web only becoming more difficult.

We have to address the root cause: advertising as a business model. My suggestion: let's apply regulatory measures to kill this business model entirely.
There is no law that requires MSNBC, Fox News, or Twitter, to be fair and balanced, and frankly I doubt one could be written that would pass first amendment scrutiny.

I've been using ULID on a couple projects. In one case, we're trying to convert an existing project to use them, and... it's a bit of a pain, but it's not ULID's fault as much as just... changing primary keys all over the place is time consuming and not simple.

The biggest pushback (and it's not a terribly big one, imo) I've read on ULID is that the time portion is sold as 'sortable' but is 'only ms-level resolution'. Apparently the critics I was initially reading on ULID needed sub millisecond accuracy, and somehow thought this made ULIDs bad. Seemed a non-useful criticism, as needing that level of time granularity isn't a day to day issue for most people, but might be something to be aware of if the idea of overloading one field with multiple uses is a requirement you have.
That's my point. US cities were/are/have-became so bad, due to the peculiar circumstances since WWII (insanely strong economic growth and real wage growth, cold war anti-communism paranoia, car lobby, american dream, redlining/segregation/white-flight/SouthernStrategy), that most US cities didn't/couldn't function as engines of industry.

The US economy is subsidizing a "one car, one parking place, one hour commute policy", every new company, new job, new office in the suburbs. (And shuttle buses for Google, etc.) Instead of building better cities.

You have confused me. The statement you quote seems to say that Signal must be install on the phone in order to get Signal working on the desktop. That does not, to me, imply that Signal must be up and running on your phone while you use Signal on the desktop.

Suppose I install and configure Signal/Phone, then install and configure Signal/Desktop, then turn off the phone.

Will Signal/Desktop still work while the phone is turned off?

Indeed, BSD projects have always provided corporations with free labor.

The BSD operating systems themselves have been largely spared from hostile forks because they are too large and no corporation wants to maintain a fork, macOS being the obvious counterexample. But even macOS cannot eclipse FreeBSD.

Smaller projects should be wary. The should start with AGPL and resist efforts coming from corporations or other open source projects to strongarm them into downgrading the license to BSD or MIT.

Especially when such other projects have convoluted licenses themselves that are only declared open source by fiat due to their historical importance at some point.

It's just a hypothetical I don't think it will come to it, but wondering why that would that lead to antitrust case? My knowledge of law is non-existent. I thought antitrust suits are because of getting into a monopoly position. Are you arguing that such an action would leave them open to claims of monopoly? Forfeiting services might be seen as a form of abuse, but isn't it sort of opposite of an antitrust by forfeiting your monopoly / strong market position?

That's good though. That means they have to invest in R&D instead of depending on exploiting cheap labour to brute-force their way into the market.

If they invest in R&D, they need creative people who are up to date. Such people tend to bring change to the society at large(I'd say democracy is really good for creativeness to flourish).

Basically, the goal is not to expunge them from the market, the goal is to make them compete under the same rules.

Paying journalists to write stories, only to have Google "index" that content in such a way that your readers don't feel the need to visit your site and see your ads, is not a workable business model.

But (as you say), not letting Google index your stories at all reduces your traffic to the point where you can't make enough money to pay the journalist either.

It's a very tough call for the newspaper industry. The only way out that I can see is getting readers to pay for news. Unfortunately we've educated an entire generation that news is free. Going back from that is going to be difficult.
I think a more fitting question is why should google showcase the ten megabyte page so far up the results. Perhaps because those ads that cause the bloat are likely served by them.

> The delayed choice experiment is not a proof of concept of time travel.

That isn't quite what I'm claiming. All I'm trying to say is that an effect that looks impossible without some kind of mind behind it (or magic) is a testable real thing. I don't think we are disagreeing here: there is no magic.

That we do not know if time travel is possible[0] isn't the point, the point is that if it were you wouldn't need magic to explain the self-correction effect. Like the apparent "magic" of the delayed choice experiment, it would just be a fundamental property of the universe wherein events occur such that they form a stable time loop without the requirement of a mind that has to work out how to fix it that way. Like the particles in the experiment, they don't "know" anything, it just always works out that way.

[0]I think the vast majority of physicists would admit to a strong suspicion that time travel is impossible, and in any model where time travel is possible it is regarded as a flaw.

RH was under time pressure to announce the CentOS 8 EOL dates. Because we did not want more people to move to CentOS 8 during the holidays. The programs weren't ready and we felt it was important to get the CentOS Linux announcement out as soon as possible. We had many long discussions about this in the Red Hat internal memolist when CentOS news were announced. Please search the internet for Red Hat's memolist. It takes a lot of time to come up with free programs like this, thats the simple truth. You can choose not to believe this and wait for few years to see how these turns out. It is not about immediate revenue growth but how to make RHEL evolve as the next generation OS. If RHEL does not change it will be become obsolete sooner or later.

There's a lot of businesses with a lot of budget who want to use ES and don't want to go near AWS. Let's not pretend there's not an enormous opportunity out there for a good hosted ES platform not on AWS.

Also very relevant, ACCC’s response to Google’s open letter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24185374

(They basically said, “Google is engaging in a FUD campaign here, making various claims about the effects of the legislation, some of which are probably not true and some of which are flat-out lies”, only they said it slightly more politely—but only slightly, definitely more bluntly than is commonly the case in such things. I read much of the draft legislation and found that it exactly matched ACCC’s position expressed in that response, though small parts of Google’s position on the purpose of the legislation and what it may lead to were also reasonable.)

In MySQL and some other database systems, primary keys are clustered indexes. A clustered index defines the order in which data is physically stored on disk.

If you have an auto-incrementing primary key like most sane people do, new rows will be sorted to the very end of the table. Inserting data to this table essentially becomes an append-only operation, which is very fast. On the other hand, inserting random values all over the place is like inserting data in the middle of a file and pushing back everything that comes afterward, over and over again. Even on modern SSD's, this is much slower than simply appending data to the end of a file.

For best performance, your primary keys should be as close as possible to auto-incrementing integers. In other words, each new value should be greater than all the values that currently exist in the table. Timestamps are quite useful for this purpose.

A lot of the time, it isn't simply future restorability. Museums have limited space, and as stuffy and unchanging as they can seem, really do reflect the vision of current curators. Simply by math, a lot of pieces don't get selected for display, and they just hangout in the archive for whatever scholar/student/future curator might be interested.

Additionally, a lot of the art in the archive is by nature going to be stuff that might make sense to display in a dedicated exhibit, but less so in a general museum. By that, I mean that if you have a handful of Picasso canvases, along with 100 of his sketches, displaying all 100 sketches probably doesn't make sense unless you're doing a special Picasso exhibit.

In this way, the archive is important, and Rijks burning down would suck. Along the lines of your thinking, however, there is a ton of amazing art sitting in investors' basements and shipping containers that we might never see again, much of which we've already lost track of.

From my observations Google is trying to pull out the answer you are looking for so you don't have to visit the source website, seen it with Stack Overflow answers , or list of commands to run to do X, or sometimes it can understand questions like "how I do X" and finds the correct forum post and the answer with the steps recommended by users to run.

The end result is less people are visiting the original page, so it would be similar with Google just cloning the entire Web and all the pages you browse will be on Google servers.
