It means that everything a relational database is capable of (from CS theory) can be done with a single column of values per table. Note that each such table also has a "column" of primary keys; in other words, it's a simple K -> V mapping.

Also note that just because you can do something doesn't mean that it will be efficient, or that it will be enjoyable to work with.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, personally I agree.

For example:

- a frequent/simple check dealing directly (on the internal network) with the webserver ("does it work well yes/no, what's the raw response time, etc..."). Here is where I would definitely use "curl".

- another less frequent test involving as well the DNS and the external network.

- another end-to-end test (e.g. once every 10 minutes?) involving as well one or more real browsers (this would test as well for example revoked SSL certs).

=> all these infos/metrics should be quite helpful to identify problems, or at least to shrink the potential area that is causing it.

Thank you. I came here to point out that anyone with a few traffic cones, a hi-viz vest, and a bucket of paint could sneak onto the freeway system at night and "hack" it in such a way as to most likely kill someone in the morning. Humans are susceptible to these sorts of attacks too.

I should imagine ransoms are payments are tracked. Tracking who gets paid for the ransom is surest way to end them. And it only takes one mistake to stain all the transactions.

Deniability is hardly the point - all dodgy transactions are deniable, it's just whether people care to pretend to believe you - the UK has anti-money laundering laws that basically say if you cannot reasonably prove your money is it dodgy we will take it. https://news.sky.com/story/zamira-hajiyeva-supreme-court-rej... - the criteria here is basically "do we believe do you" - it's really nebulous.

One of the interesting things you can do with ffmpeg, if you have a LOT of scratch disk space, and you're trying to compare subjective encoder quality (not VMAF, but human eyeballs) on a certain video file:

1) take your raw uncompressed y4m file and write it out to a directory of PNG files, one png file per frame. this is your static image reference baseline for subjective eyeballs.

2) take your raw uncompressed y4m file and encode it to x265 or whatever codec you're testing, at various different bitrates and encoder settings

3) take your various encoded x265 files and also write those out to PNG files in separate directories

3) pick exactly the same frame number filename from your 'master' PNGs and your encoder-output PNGs, copy them and put them in the same directory so you can quickly flip back and forth between them in a image slideshow application.

If you want to do this with 2160p24,p25 or p30 videos at several minute lengths, be prepared to have 150-160GB of scratch disk per y4m and per PNG-dump-directory.
The issue with modern displays (OLED and LCD) is that they are sample-and-hold, which means that a frame will remain lit for its whole duration, leading to motion blur. Even a perfectly instantenous pixel response won't fix that.
Didn't read about the suit, and in my head I was thinking normal hot and humid, like houston tx, but this must be right at 100% relative humidity. Course houston would be more like 45c.

I feel like claiming it is "working" and "3d printed" are tenuous at best.

It did work... for several seconds before it melted.

It was 3d printed... except for the turbine, shaft, bearings, and combustion chamber which were made of metal, and the structural components which were cast from ceramic.

Also, FWIW, the description of the how the turbojet came to be at the beginning is pretty grossly incorrect. It is sort of like how in grade school they say that planes fly due to the Bernoulli's principle. If you are interested to learn about how jet engines actually work and the technical details that go into them on youtube, I highly recommend AgentJayZ [1]

If you want to see a youtuber make an actually good turbojet, check out these channels:

-Игорь Негода [2] His videos are in russian, but are by far the most technically advanced and performant. I watch them with the auto generated/translated subtitles

-Tech Ingredients [3] This is a traditional turbocharger based design, but is presented in a wonderful way packed full of interesting tech details

-Colin Furze [4] The turbojet that inspired this video. Much more focused on presentation than tech details, but worth watching for the comedy at least!

> hatred for the Chinese

The equivocation of hatred for the Chinese and hatred for it’s government is itself Chinese government propaganda.

Any time criticism comes up of the actions of their government, the deflection method is to say it’s just hatred for the Chinese. This is done to prevent the Chinese people from realizing that people in the West are on their side and they are not their government.

This is captured in the concept of the “Lindy Effect”, which says the future life expectancy of something like a book is proportional to its current age, so that every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life expectancy.

In other words NYT’s 2021 best seller list is less likely to be read in 2030 than a classic.

There's nothing inherently wrong with following esoteric debates raised by quasi-outsiders with a controversial, novel, unproven idea in some technical field, if you want to. But it's pretty time-inefficient, since an overwhelming proportion of such ideas inevitably turn out to be wrong.
PoW = FIAT we can just throw crypto in the bin if this is really the way it goes.
His entire point is trying to get stuff working (even for a few seconds) using cheap hobbyist printers and not requiring skills in metal fabrication or any special equipment.

With that goal in mind, I think he does incredibly well on his projects.

Of course other people can do better with CNCs and years of engineering/fabrication skills. That's like saying it's not worth playing with DIY "anything" because other people can do it better than you.
Actually, he just described people. Communist regimes have the exact same issues with corruption and greed.

Capitalism vs Communism is a useless debate if the will isn't there to hold the corrupt accountable and ensure that the average citizen is empowered (with said power secured both physically and legally.)
Crime is defined by governments, many of which care more about maintaining or expanding their power than they do protecting individual's rights.

When governments become oppressive crime can be a good thing. Bitcoin can enable both bad and good crime. It's a neutral tool.
> From a distance, procrastination looks like a time management problem. There is growing evidence that it is rather an emotional management problem — a flight response.

It's eye opening how a lot of life struggles turn out to be an emotional management problem at their core: procrastination, addiction, stress.

I wish I had that perspective earlier in my life. It completely changes the solution space from trying random productivity tools to focusing on one's emotions and possibly getting into therapy.
I won't buy a Tesla because of it's UI/UX. Someone should tell Elon that his taste in design sucks, putting touch panels in cars (and in the space X dragon capsule) is outrageous. In general, Elon should be in charge of engineering and nothing else. He is a brilliant engineer and should double down on it.

In these forums, people rave about how amazing touch screens are simply because Tesla, their fav brand, has them.
Here I am, trying to give credit to Tesla's success to the countless engineers and designers who did 99.9% of the work. By your own math, what Elon did is a rounding error.

A big part of spending a lot of money on certain things is the signaling of hey look at how much money I got.

Many luxury things aren’t useful, they are either a good way to store wealth in a manner that is less susceptible to certain market disruptions and even the reach of governments this is where gold and art come in or it’s a way to show everyone that you have so much money that you can afford to buy toilet paper made out of the fiber of some engineered pigmy pine trees grown in low earth orbit.

This one is maybe a little bit of both, because as long as there are plenty of people willing to spend money to achieve the latter this one also falls into the former.
>Did none of those 7000 games work on Wine already?

In theory yes, but.. some games require specific wine versions, others need special settings on either side, and at times one needs to patch the game.

This is enough to make many games unplayable under wine (for most people), but useable via Proton or a similar wrapper.
This won't work for usual database usecases. This is meant for interactive work with data same way you work with code.
Who needs that?

Data scientists working with large datasets. You want to be able to update data without redownloading everything.
Also make your local changes (some data cleaning) and propose your updates upstream same way you would with git.
Having many people working interactively with data is common here.

One of the companies I work with provided set of data distributed to their partners on a daily basis.
Once it grew larger, downloading everything daily became an issue. So that would be desirable,

I have large data model that I need to deploy to production and update once in a while.
For code, network usage is kept to minimum because we have git. For data, options are limited.

As with git, it is something that once you have, you will find a lot of usecases that make life easier and open many new doors.
> It's an attitude that arouses a lot of contempt (Bloom called critics the 'School of Resentment' intent on subjugating all aesthetics to Marxist politcs), but it's really I think just a standard liberal challenge to established authority.

This might well be a distinction without a difference. Even liberal challenge to established authority can be outwardly indistinguishable from mere ressentiment, at least if one does not take care to look into the specifics - and in interesting cases, these specifics will obviously involve facets other than "Is X challenging some established authority?"

I actually want SF city to meet its fate and be an example for other cities what not to do.
I think it depends, strictly ownership means owning the NFT token. By itself a token is just data.

Taking a step back the value of the token comes from Jack using the platform to mint it (which is purely off chain and you have to trust the platform verifies against the twitter apis correctly) and tweeting about it (again, off chain and you have to assume his twitter wasn't hacked).

Jack can delete his tweet but he can't delete a token that represents the tweet he sold. I can appreciate if you don't think this nuance matters but obviously there are some who think it does.

The same applies to physical goods. There's nothing stopping the original from being destroyed, your item being a near exact replica but if the interpretation that ownership of NFT is psysical ownership is accepted then you can't steal it and claim you are the owner without my private key.
Because they wanted it to be easy for people to get?
I use ffmpeg regularly to cut and join videos and it saves me so much time to run my scripts. I’d give up if I had to fire up some GUI and pick and tick one million settings. Admittedly, creating the script is not different but the reuse is the usecase and it does pay off so nicely

I'm leaving San Francisco next month also. I just see no reason to continue living here. The weather is nice in California, but the city is so mismanaged it's a joke. The homelessness has been an issue for decades now and local politicians always talk about it, but what do they actually do to help? I genuinely have no clue where the high taxes go. I just find it so ironic that San Francisco is a bastion of liberalism, yet in Tenderloin every day for decades tech bros have stepped over needles and homeless people on their way to make their 200k a year. Why didn't they build more houses here? Oh, the views would be spoiled! Right. People can continue shitting in the street then. We don't mind that view.

Looks like a new assembly of old ideas that’s different enough it might do better for some purposes. Very exciting.

I was about to start prototyping some tool ideas I had in it, but I can’t find it’s source or license info anywhere. By Googling, I found the GitHub repo [0], but it’s empty of code and looks to be used for issue tracking only.

I can’t see something that’s trying to be an ecosystem being very successful without being open (see: every closed-source language/runtime ever).

I couldn’t even find any example code. I tried clicking the examples on the home page. I even tried clicking “Playground” and it wasn’t a link. The only CTA I could find was “Download Nodes”!

To the yjftsjthsd-h point about showing all that on phone. I haven't yet looked into your prj, but just my 2cents here. if not please make it zoomable. I cannot tell you how much it bothers me to have a phone with 4k display and having an app that shows 4k amount of information on it that I'm suppose to read that isn't zoomable.

I love the idea of a dashboard for the 50K view then zooming into any "red." or interesting parts.

Just my 2cent. My apology if it already is since its a web interface?

I love FFMPEG, but it has truly awful handling of timestamps by default. You can't easily extract a clip using an exact timestamp because it rounds to the nearest keyframe, which may be many seconds earlier. It's such a powerful command-line tool, but I find the user-interface far more difficult than it needs to be. In "git" terminology, there's so much plumbing but not enough porcelain

I wish there was a scriptable / command-line interface for HandBrake (which is already based on FFMPEG) [1], where the user just provides the high-level commands: 99% of the time I want to specify high-level commands: extract clip from this timestamp, including SRT subtitles, crop to this geometry, and shift the audio by 3 seconds.

The die-hard San Franciscan is probably saying "Good!" They don't want anyone living there that's above average, is able to earn a living, or doesn't want to poop on the sidewalk.

But good luck running a city when 100% of your population is incapable of contributing more than they take.
I remember flying with a bunch of hard drives out of SFO in 2002. I was a little worried security would get 9/11 worried about them. Maybe because it was SFO are are used to seeing tech people flying with odd stuff, they didn't care.
At least at a glance I think you’ve got this right. And I think it’s the same kind of productivity boost that came with graphics tools getting JSX/etc bridges. You can design and dev in the same environment with minimal handoff, far fewer broken expectations when they render differently due to different presentation metrics, and tons of opportunity to automate the design-build process and visual documentation.

I remember having that experience sitting in a processor design class. It was amazing.
In industry, the prevailing code standards are almost certainly wildly divergent from any sort of Ruby "best practice".

In particular, if the goal is to have clear (and therefore somewhat more likely to be robust) code, you're going to see things like the use of single quotes to indicate "this will never be interpolated" or the use of explicit return statements even when "unnecessary" - both of which run afoul of these sorts of highly-opinionated and unconfigurable style enforcers.

No. Relational DB logs are kept for short time, and do not allow for branching/merging. And even if you would store full log since day 1, the only way to check state of database at some point would be to start from scratch and reply everything to desired point. For any sizeable db, that's not practical.
