Our 7 year old goes to an arts and crafts centre, in the aftermath of the furore over the WhatsApp Terms of Service update the organizers changed their contact details to suggesting reaching them via Signal instead. So we switched. Job done.
The only practical application of MongoDB I can justify to this day, is if you have a form builder, that allows users to build completely custom forms. Forms.io gives you the form schema in such a scenario as JSON out of the box. That gets matched with answers as JSON.

Saving this to MongoDB directly, rather than SQL seems to simplify things.

With anything else, at the end of the day, you are enforcing FK constraints anyway, so might as well use SQL.

I never had issues with MongoDB performance.

One caveat to this is that I am yet to see a project that needs database sharding in real life, and I have worked on projects with millions of entries in a table and hundreds of writes a minute.
While I agree with your point about this and that most people will do this it really brings up a lot of questions about what consent actually means. Especially with dark patterns and asymmetric information.
Linked Data does have a concrete definition: RDF data that is accessible through SPARQL, with well defined semantics. That is, following a published ontology and re-using existing vocabularies as much as possible.

Linked Data itself is not novel: https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data

> Overall advertising budgets are not dominated by the effectiveness of advertising, but by adversarial spending by their competitors.

This is absolutely not the case. Google’s biggest ad clients achieve pretty incredible ROI (called ROAS) on each dollar they spend. And they track these obsessively—I supported a large travel client that had a small (but highly skilled) engineering team dedicated exclusively to their SEM bidding and monitoring systems.

The reason digital advertising is so valuable is pretty exclusively related to attribution and tracking. If companies weren’t sure they could make so much money with their spend, their budgets would absolutely drop.
For me part of motivation is reducing how much is required by certain activities. Making a routine and developing habits is a good way to do this.

Big items to automate:

- Food: I have roughly the same meals a couple of days in a row. This makes cooking easier and takes the overhead of figuring out what to eat when I get hungry.

- Exercise: I got for a run in the middle of the day before my meeting. Having it in the middle of the day means there is not a lot of time to second guess. It creates time limit in my morning cause I want to be at a good stopping point before I run. Also, it’s a nice break from sitting at a screen.

-Sleep: I get in bed 1h before I actually sleep. I sit there and read. Before that I brush my teeth. Before that I do the dishes and clean the kitchen. It’s a routine that helps me get in the right mindset for rest.

It's a shame you have to jump through so many hoops just to have your own music wherever you want it.

I did something similar a long time ago, a process that transcodes music on-the-fly with ffmpeg and exposes the ogg version through a FUSE filesystem, also built with go (https://github.com/rakoo/codecfs/). I just tested and you can export this FUSE filesystem through SFTP, and VLC on Android can open remote folders through SFTP... so you can have your entire library compressed on-the-fly on both Android and iOS, and there is no lag between input and playback. If you want to keep a song on your phone for offline use, like the OP link usecase, just copy the file locally: it works today, without installing anything or running stuff on your computer.

Filesystems all the way down and it works transparently (even though to be even cleaner SFTP should be mountable and available as a standard folder in Android). Somewhere in there Plan9 says "I told you so".

(Note if you're doing that: there is an issue with entering credentials on Android with SFTP, see https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/1508)
Redhat is a big contributor to OpenJDK, so there's really less of a "maybe not" than you think. Even Azul maintains an OpenJDK distribution, so copyleft is playing a part in keeping things more open and supported than not.
Even without an index that sounds too long (though obviously hardware and Postgres itself both have come a long way since 2013). At 12,000 rows even a brute force query should be quick.

I would suspect something like bad statistics or some other reason that caused a pathological query plan. In any case this is not a good representation of any potential performance difference between Postgres and MongoDB.

You are not alone. Sending you good vibes
I think there is the question of what people would do with the money they save by buying only the entry-level car. Would everyone really just save the money? I expect people would just spend it on something else (that maybe has more effective advertising, even if via word-of-mouth or something else). So spending would remain roughly the same. I don't have any hard research I can personally point to though.
Yes, I think it is a packaging bug, but it's reflective of an attitude where old stuff is hung out to dry even before the officially-committed time horizons have expired. This would be fine if it were possible for distro maintainers to pick up the reins, but the pip maintainers have deliberately wrested control from them— they've basically decided that their recommended approach is for everyone to use the latest pip regardless of what interpreter they're using, especially in the case where you're using that interpreter in a virtualenv. For example on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine if you create a new venv, the system pip that gets installed there immediately runs off to the internet to check itself and then prompt you to upgrade it:

$ python3 -m venv test
$ test/bin/pip install pyyaml

Note that the prompt doesn't just show up in a virtualenv. The system-installed pip has this behaviour as well, and there are some packages which don't install correctly with a pip this old, so the only thing to do is manually track a working version of pip, force-install exactly that version, and ignore the repeated prompts to upgrade.

Nightmare.
> formal rigor or scientific analysis

This may be a bit philosophical, but couldn't "formal methods" and the "scientific method" also be considered a best practice? (and thus susceptible to becoming a cult?)

Throughout the history of science, there has been many methods for doing science that have since been revolutionized or abandoned (e.g. cosmology, non-Euclidean geometry, eugenics, quantum mechanics). Thomas Kuhn is a notable writer on such paradigm shifts in the history of science. [1]

Music implies sort of an everything is just an opinion thing so your analogy does not fit.

Think of it like horse drawn wagon vs. a car. There might exist a guy who in his humble opinion thinks the wagon is better so he use it to get places instead of a car but is that guy a reasonable guy? No.

The analogy I mentioned above is more apt because Mongo was indeed at one point in time more of a wagon rather than an unpopular piece of music.
Yes, and the world should not be buying oil from Saudis either.

Given how many people seem to find themselves with crippling debt, or unable to save enough of a buffer to handle unexpected (but not especially unusual) expenses, I'd be inclined to say "good".

Much of the advertising industry isn't about getting you to choose Company A's product rather than Company B's, or to choose the deluxe version rather than the entry-level one; it's about getting you to buy things you would never even have considered otherwise, and certainly have no "need" for.
I agree that this is the correct approach, and even do this myself sometimes.

I still find it irksome that what costs ~$100 and takes 15 minutes on a Thinkpad costs ~$1000 and takes a week on a Mac.

The way I think of it is, people will do drugs whether or not they’re legal. The current system is to throw drug users in jail, which has been proven to cost a lot of money and not do anything to rehabilitate the drug user. They need treatment, not jail time. This bill has greatly expanded access to treatment programs, which will help much more than incarceration ever could.
> Demand for a stock is generally linked to the value of its future discounted cash flows

Tautologically so, in the sense that the market’s notional consensus of the expected future cash flow is inferred by those who are convinced of it's simplistic financial rationality from the stock price and assumptions of the proper discounting mechanism. Factually...that's a bit harder to argue.

There's some a-step-more distant proxies that people hold up as touchstones for that like P/E ratio, but those aren't consistent across stocks or, marketwide, over time.

Spring Discovery | Data Scientists / Applied ML | Full-Time | SF Bay Area | ONSITE preferred (REMOTE possible – let's discuss)

Spring Discovery is building a machine learning platform to accelerate the discovery of therapies for aging. Why? Simply because aging is the single greatest risk factor for the most detrimental diseases we know of – cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, even COVID-19 (see our recent work on this in [1] below). By understanding and treating the biological damage accumulated as we age, we can find powerful new therapies for fighting disease and living not only longer, but healthier lives.

Over the past few decades, an unignorable amount of evidence has piled up from the best labs in the world showing that this is possible [2]. However, the research, while promising, has been frustratingly slow. We’re leveraging the power of machine learning to dramatically improve the experimental process and we believe this approach has the potential to unlock a whole new class of therapeutic discoveries.

We have deep support from top-notch investors, including General Catalyst, First Round, Laura Deming's Longevity Fund, Felicis, Caffeinated Capital, Sam Altman, and more. And our advisory board includes both world leaders in aging research and senior pharma execs.

We have a great early team of senior engineers (ex-Google, Khan Academy, CZI, Freenome) collaborating tightly with leading scientists in the field. But we need help to continue scaling out our ML analysis platform. We’re looking for experienced data scientists/ML researchers who would enjoy working on things ranging from data infrastructure to modelling to statistical analysis of large datasets. Yes, you belong even if you don't have a bio background — we're a cross-functional team. (Although of course biology experience is a plus).

>Do you have any plans to productionize TinyPilot (pay someone to manufacture the entire device rather than selling kits)?

Yeah, that's one of my goals for the year. The manufacturing and fulfillment process is currently just out of my house and too fragile.

It's tough to outsource right now because we're continuing to find new ways to improve our processes and the components. The advantage of doing it all from my house is that I'm the last stop before the product reaches the customer. I can be nimble and manage changes quickly rather than risk things falling through the cracks trying to communicate to someone else small changes in the process.

What will likely happen next is me hiring an extra person to come to my house and take on some of the work. Hopefully vaccine rollout goes smoothly because I don't want to do this until it's safe for both me and the employee.

>I'm definitely in your target market, but I'd rather have something more streamlined looking that didn't require upfront assembly.

I currently sell two flavors. One's a kit, and the other's plug 'n play (TinyPilot Voyager).
>The next obvious step is to legalize all drugs, and let these lobbies profit off the back of addicts and their families and their ruined lives.

Nah, the next obvious step is to legalize them and have pure supplies of known purity and dosage distributed by the government at near-cost + tax to exclusively fund social programs and rehab. There's no need to bring profit into it.

Prohibition doesn't work. We've seen it time and time again. Let's be adults about the fact that addicts have, do, and will exist in our societies and take steps the minimize the harms to both them and society at large from their existence.

Show HN: Web UI Released for Asynq
> Why would anyone agree to this?

And that is the entire story of dark patterns.
We're using FastAPI in production at InvestSuite. Highly productive framework, very well written documentation. You get jump started right away.

Only caveat with async python. Might be tricky when using 'sync' libraries. It's not always straightforward and you'll find yourself wondering why your server is blocked from time to time. It's not a problem of FastAPI, but you need to be aware that if you do a blocking call (function is not prefixed with 'async') to a db that it blocks the event loop.
What you are saying is simply wrong. Females participate in war in many species, including humans and lions. Female lions will often defend their pride to prevent the attacking lions from killing their cubs, and similarly in humans women often fight in defensive wars.

Evolutionary biases are also essentially irrelevant in how societies are structured. The structures of societies are very intentional and based on material reality, not mere biases.

Generally, men have mostly done the fighting, especially in wars of aggression. The reasons for these are material, as men are often better at fighting. It's not to protect women. When it's useful and makes sense for women to fight, then women fight.

Love the idea but how does Solid prevent any malicious actor from over time replicating all the data that user authorize into a centralized repository - in this case, it only makes it even easier for data consolidation.
I have found 2 use cases, one of which I've never actually seen in the wild.

The most common use case is, "I need to store data where the schema is unknown or can change without notice, and have my shit not break." This is what we used Mongo for.

The other use case I could see (and this is pretty much only with Dynamo) is, "I want to build an application that's cross-region native. Most of my data is relatively static, so I accept eventual consistency on changes. I will have a separate data store for transactional data and data that cannot be eventually consistent." I want to build this project, but it will never happen because it's too easy to RDBMS in a single region to start.
