FYI, we're using clickhouse since 2018 at ContentSquare.

I did a few POCs to compare clickhouse vs other databases on ContentSquare's use case. One of them was memSQL.
Although memSQL was very good, since we don't need to JOIN big datasets or need killer features like fulltext search, clickhouse gave a better perf/cost ratio for us (I don't remember exactly but it was at least twice cheaper).
There are various "stablecoins" that show you can have some of the benefits of crypto without wild price fluctuations. There is another interesting project called SORA that features a digital central bank managed via sortition (basically like juries, but more complicated).

> This sounds so fishy. Doesnt this stink of corruption?

It stinks of being completely (well, not about his pre-bench history but the other bit) false, since the Supreme Court case restricting patent lawsuits to the district in which the defendant is incorporated was handed down before Albright was appointed to the bench, and within a district while there is some maneuvering parties can do to hope to influence which judge is assigned, it's not like a free choice, so the implication being made is mostly procedurally impossible.
The billion people you mentioned use Windows because it was preinstalled on their computer. They also have not, in their majority, heard of Linux. There is almost no company doing marketing for Linux desktops.

Many people use computers for entertainment and Windows has more compatibility with games because game developers target Windows. Even though many of the game engines they use support Linux.

With Wine, Proton, Dxvk, etc... the game compatibility gap is closing rapidly, though.

Now, many occupations require software that won't run on Linux (software from Autodesk, Adobe, etc), but the use case for the vast majority of people is well covered.

If they were given the chance to acquire their computer for cheaper without an OS they would have done so.

The FBI Has Tracked Down Some of the Capitol Rioters in Truly Surprising Ways
A toilet paper factory has a long planning cycle and supply contracts, so it cannot react very fast to large changes in demand. The machinery also costs a lot, so they cannot increase the capacity for every spike in demand that will usually disappear in a few weeks. The weakest chain is the Wall Street pressure on these companies to "improve cash flow or else" that lead to reducing the stocks (product and raw materials alike) to minimum, so any surge is even harder to compensate. I worked in this area for some years, this is how it's done.
technically almost everything beyond food and medicine is wasteful.

SpaceX's first moon flight customer giving away 8 seats on his spaceship
I've worked with a lot of people in the Python world who just wanted to move tickets across the kanban board as fast as possible, and they'd do a quick check of the happy path and call it a ticket. They'd be praised for their output and we (rightly, I think) didn't try to trace bugs back to a developer. They would do all sorts of dynamic-typing hacks to get the immediate task at hand done with little regard for the mess that was made, and they strongly disliked static types because they made those error prone, unmaintainable hacks really difficult to express.

Let me pull that out into a block quote:

> [types] made those error prone, unmaintainable hacks really difficult to express

This is, in my mind, the most valuable feature of static types, and one that at least some dynamic typing enthusiasts can't easily get their heads around. Types are like rails that guide you to code which is maintainable. Another very valuable feature is that they serve as documentation that would otherwise never be written or quickly fall out of date in a dynamically typed language. Lastly in importance is that the compiler/type-checker precludes certain errors.
Volatility is only problematic to the downside, not the upside. Bitcoin's volatility is skewed to the upside. Yes if you were not advised properly, and buy the top, you may be down, but only temporarily.

There are long phases in BTC's history where 100% of holders are in very handsome profits. And that's the problem?
Not that I know Berlin's situation, but hypothetically they could be converted into Airbnbs which end up competing with local hotels instead of rentals.

I know rental stock immediately opened up in Dublin when the pandemic started, for example, before such a large increase would have arisen from renters leaving the city for suburbs.

It's also becoming possible to grow plants hydroponically in a highly automated and controlled environment (warehouse/cattle shed), with up to a 98% saving in treated water usage, 60% less nutrients required but with more nutritious crops and no pesticides. This is the case for High Pressure Aeroponics, which is slightly more complex than other hydroponic methods.

You can say anything you want, as long as you do not infringe on my rights, such as by consuming my resources (time, telecom services, fax paper, etc) when I explicitly said not to (via a Do Not Call listing, etc.)

It's similar to a No Trespassing sign; you can picket on public property (free speech), but doing that on private property (when marked with a sign that fit certain criteria, in most states) might get you arrested and charged with a crime.

In the U.S., the rights of the individual generally trump "public interest".
I think it's likely an overstatement to say there's only one that worked.

I don't have experience with dieting or diet pills per se, but I've taken bupropion which is also a part of some weight loss formulations and it substantially counteracted the weight gain I've had from another medication.

The weight loss drug I'm thinking of combines bupropion and an opioid receptor blocker. This is not medical advice and I have not tested it, but I'm inclined to think my experience indicates it should work.

Bupropion, incidentally, is a nicotinic receptor blocker, which is why it's also prescribed as an aid to stop smoking. And an antidepressant. And a dessert topping and floor wax...

I wonder if it does anything to mitochondria though?
> For me, it was mostly about reducing suffering of other animals. I thought this way before but it's hard to change behavior and I liked hamburgers. I think this is the strongest argument and the environmental or nutritional arguments feel like side issues to avoid just tackling this issue directly.

For me, this is the weakest argument. Animals are not people, and agriculturally farmed animals only exist because of our actions. Cruelty aside, farming and eating them is hardly immoral (as it is evolved behaviour - we wouldn't be here to talk about it otherwise). The suffering of an animal is not the suffering of a human; and if suffering is our primary concern, there's plenty of human suffering that still needs dealt with before we worry about animals.

> In theory, you could draw some line at 'well humans and other more intelligent beings are different because they have dreams and a plan for their future'.

I don't have to resort to dreams and plans. They're simply _not human_ and so as someone who doesn't anthropomorphize them it's easy to simply not care whatsoever about their emotional state. It doesn't noticeably impact the quality of the meat.

I think there are a lot of oversocialized people who watched too many anthropomorphic movies and cartoons as kids. Some of them become sexually attracted to such, some of them just won't eat them anymore. Either way, it's a strange and divorced-from-reality way to go, seems to mostly have negative nutritional impact, and no difference is made in the world as less demand = cheaper meat = everyone else just gets more.

Did you actually read any of that article?

The allegations in Choke Point were that banks were approving transactions they shouldn't have, without doing enough investigation to check for fraud, not that they were failing to move money from one account to another, the "problem" that blockchain is supposed to "solve".

In what way is blockchain supposed to prevent fraudulent transactions? It is impossible in blockchain to even check for fraud, because every transaction is automatically irrevocably approved by-design, no matter how fraudulent.

edit: unless, what you meant to imply, is that the banks weren't supposed to approve those illegal transactions and so the government stepped in to punish them, and that bitcoin is good because it will never deny an illegal transaction and is therefore useful for committing crimes? well then thanks for admitting it, I guess.
I am sure it was. I am just not familiar with it hence specified the one I know.
>The guy running Gab is a True Believer

He's definitely not but he knows how to play to his audience. Instead of owning it and saying 'we messed up' it's easier to blame the 'mentally ill trans hackers'!

But the 'hack' was almost certainly intentional, it's the exact same play Parler did a few weeks ago. They're both honeypots, this is the easiest way to get the data out there.
Yea depends on how you use it. Ground meat cooked for a casserole, probably too much fat, but 20% fat in a burger is good.
The real problem you're going to run into with this argument is that people like cars, like to drive them, and want to own them.

Yeah, if this really is fast prime factoring, we're all in a lot of trouble.
> there have been many languages whose success was specifically tied to the fact that they were dynamically typed

Language success does not mean product success. A language is just one of the many things in your toolbox. There's a reason why when many products grew larger, they all are migrating to statically/strictly typed languages.
How do you think about SST compared to projects like arc.codes/Begin.com in the long run? Do you want to expand to do a lot more around serverless? I always think about Rails vs Sinatra, and how both can make you happy :) The demo gave me Sinatra vibes in that sense (minimal code, no boilerplate generators, it just works)

> When you just want to add a small bit of interaction to a mostly-static site, jQuery can help.

For very small amounts, perhaps, but honestly, even then I think it has limitations. As an anecdote, about six months ago, I needed to add a couple of dynamic forms to a static site. The forms were a simple contact us, and a mailing list sign up form, and only needed to handle the states of Open->Submitting->Thanks|Failed->Open, while preventing double submissions, etc.

I wrote the first one in jQuery (site was already using it due to the theming), and making sure handled all the various edge cases, and fixing one bug didn't cause another was far harder and time consuming than it should be.

Out of frustration, I wrote the other form in VueJS, and hacked the whole form in about an hour or two. My take away was that anything involving state in jQuery can get overly complicated very quickly.
This sounds cool, do you have any recommended resources to get started with running a lnd node and getting it connected to a larger network? And, just curious, do you make any money from lighting fees?
I'm of the general mindset that the CTO should be the most technical.

I think we see a lot of tech company failures when the CTO is just a manager type that doesn't understand the technology and doesn't have the ability to contribute to it.
The main reason they banned "adult content" was simply that porn posters will fill any available online free forum. Reasonably enough, as a forum aimed at free speech, Gab wasn't eager to pay the hideous storage and networking costs of becoming another site like Tumblr, where that content had simply taken over...
> Nobody audits a substantial fraction of their dependencies.

I do! In fact if we exclude the language implementation itself[0], a plurality of my projects have NaN% of their dependencies fully audited.

0: ie, compiler, hardware, etc; if you object to this, please do explain how to eliminate these dependencies; I'm quite interested.

> Regarding carbon: "removal of livestock in the US would only lead to a net GHG reduction of 2.6% in national emissions. Similarly, removing all dairy would lead to a reduction of just 0.7%.

ONLY? That's a pretty damn big percentage for such a small piece of the economy.

It feels a bit like saying "removal of Ford vehicles from the road would only lead to a net GHG reduction of 2.6%" .. or whatever it'd be. Of course you can make it sound small if you compere a portion (livestock) of a portion (farming) of the national economy, to all emissions from the entire nation.

Plant alternatives would have their own emissions of course, but I think there's a more realistic path to zero emissions. There's some interesting work on reducing methane emissions from livestock themselves (additives to the feed and such), but the path is more challenging.
Google's fix for spammy results seems to be favoring large corporations, governments, and putting results on their own page (so-called "rich results" fka "rich snippets).
They are committed to these policies in the abstract but any time there are winners and losers for a policy, the losers will fight harder than anything.

Second and third order effects are also hard to control through publicly popular policy.

And I am not aware of any significantly sized US areas that don't have race-discrepancies in educational attainment. American society has very strong positive feedback loops and I think the strong economies of the coastal paradises amplify that. Take any uneven distribution of wealth and it will get worse in that environment.
> The cto should focus on strategic thinking and have one or two devs that lead daily work

Your comment is complete nonsense. With good reasons (personnel, external demands, goals), the working dynamic varies widely from company to company. Presumably, you’ve never worked there and don’t have any clue why they were structured as such. You’re just repeating crap you’ve seen other people write about CTOs.

> Not that i like gab, but i wonder how many rookie mistakes like this one are then blamed on ”foreign agents” and other media bollox.

And I’m not defending someone else’s coding mistakes, too busy worrying about my own.

Also, lol, you might as well have said “or use voodoo”.
> No one will argue free speech for that, because you're now consuming someone else's resource (time, mobile minutes, etc) when they explicitly told you not to.

All of the arguments for “free speech” against platform content policies are exactly arguing for consuming someone else's reseources against their expressed direction, so it's provably false that that is sufficient to prevent people from arguing for entitlement based on “free speech”.

You can use `Map` instead of object which allows keys of any type, or typecheck your objects with `Record<K, V>` and let typescript warn you about any weirdness. Typescript can also warn you if you do some weird implicit coercion. You can typeguard against `null` (although I admit it is annoying, I just want to use an optional†). And if you really want to use integer types there is always `BigInt`.

†: I haven’t checked, but I bet there are some libraries out there that provide proper optionals using Proxy.
"This proves the polynomial time bound."
In case it wasn't clear, that example compiles without error, whereas a more strict compiler would complain that a any is not a Thing, or some similar error.

The code doesn't even throw runtime errors, but you wouldn't be able to tell something is wrong unless a) a request providing the json string actually responded with the error string in the example (an edge case that is very easy to overlook during regular development) and you managed to catch the problem in tests, or b) you specifically went digging into the file that defines getThing looking for the implicit any cast that the compiler didn't tell you about or c) there's a compiler update that turns that any cast into an error

What others are saying is that Java and friends do c) (throw compilation errors when implicitly casting between incompatible types)
>> For me, it was mostly about reducing suffering of other animals.

The way I think of it, pigs are very intelligent, more intelligent than dogs. However, humans are more intelligent. If pigs were more intelligent, pigs would eat humans.

And that's not a figure of speech. Pig would eat us if they could. They wouldn't stop and think, gee, does this little baby human girl cry because it doesn't want to be eaten, maybe I should stop munching on its belly? They wouldn't stop to think, sheesh, this little blond baby boy with piercing blue eyes is so cuuute, how can I eat it? They'd eat us.

And they'd also eat the cows and the chicken and the sheep and the fish and everything else we eat. And they'd kill their babies to keep the cows lactating and to take their stomachs to make cheese with. And so on, and so forth.

So why should I not eat them? What kind of superior morality am I supposed to claim for myself to think I'm morally better than a pig? None. A pig would eat me, so I eat a pig.

I appreciate that's not a common line of reasoning and I'm possibly overestimating the nutritional value of humans, but in any case I don't see any problem with eating meat, given that I'm an animal and some animals eat other animals' meat.
Very interesting approach, it's almost as if developers get a "patent" on creating useful housing stock.

The market for these must be incredibility niche. The average Joe would probably just switch to an iPhone if they want to de-google, and those who don't can probably find step-by-step instructions on how to install LineageOS without Google Services. I understand these are made for people for don't have a solid understanding of technology, but in the long run, running Android without GMS would probably require just as much troubleshooting as flashing a custom ROM.

Also, looking at the /e/ Foundation, I see that they provide a custom ROM, and I don't understand why anyone would use /e/ vs. LineageOS for microG. It appears the only thing added by forking Lineage was to preload apps, all of which are already available on F-droid.

When I saw the title, I had hoped a phone manufacturer had created a Google-free device, one that could be sold directly, without relying on a refurbished supply of three-year-old Samsung phones. The phone being sold doesn't have anything that could already be achieved via a combination of a used s9 + lineageOS.

The consequence of that, as claimed in the article, is that when the old tenant leaves, it often ceases to be a rental property - it's not offered for rent but put on sale for someone who'll live there as an owner. Already there are half as many spaces available for rent as it was a few years ago, and the number is still shrinking. If this goes on, most of the rental stock will get converted to non-rental and you'll be able to move only if you can get sufficient credit to buy the dwelling.

not sure what you mean by "weaker". If you mean the security, then, I would think that would be a result of energy use going down, not energy use going up. (but as someone else pointed out, the power use seems to be steady, and neither trending up nor down)
