You can also use Git for data!

It’s a bit slower, but smart use of partial/shallow clones can address performance degradation on large repositories over time. You just need to take care of the transformation between “physical” trees/blobs and “logical” objects in your dataset (which may not have 1:1 mapping, as having physical layer more granular reduces likelihood of merge conflicts).

I’m also following Pijul, which seems very promising in regards to versioning data—I believe they might introduce primitives allowing to operate on changes in actual data structures rather than between lines in files, like with Git.

Add to that sound theory of patches, and that’s a definite win over Git (or Doit for that matter, which seems to be same old Git but for SQL).
Well I for one am glad you are here, Borat!
Spycatcher: The Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Officer
"Spycatcher: The Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Officer (1987) is a memoir written by Peter Wright, former MI5 officer and Assistant Director, and co-author Paul Greengrass. He drew on his own experiences and research into the history of the British intelligence community. Published first in Australia, the book was banned in England (but not Scotland) due to its allegations about government policy and incidents. These efforts ensured the book's notoriety, and it earned considerable profit for Wright."

It's likely a missing plugin. As an avid VSCode user I would liken the difference of VSCode and IntelliJ IDEs with the difference between an unfurnished apartment and a fully furnished apartment.

With the latter you skip setting up your environment and just start doing your thing. The former is more barebones in this regard. It lets you build your own IDE from plugins and a ton of configuration options.

As someone who likes to have one app for everything code related (from Markdown to the programming languages I use, to config files and to LaTeX) I like to "bring my own furniture" for the unique combination of needs I have.

Thus it makes perfect sense to me that VSCode is regularly underestimated regarding its IDE capabilities. Stock VSCode is indeed just "Notepad++ on steroids". You have to invest some time to build it up into a fully fledged IDE.

>What if we built a new IT stack that was designed to be obliterated and reconstructed every 24 hours with latest patch builds each time?

Inevitably an update is going to break something. So even if you can automate all of that, how can you make sure it doesn't break something? This requirement isn't just the automation and technology gathering, it's testing too. It seems to me like you'd need a lot more benefits to make this worth the time/money/effort. You'd probably be better off having 2 networks for employees: 1 for public internet and 1 for internal company stuff. I think the intelligence community has something like that?
Two words.

The dividing line between big tech and big gov is far thinner than most people consider.
I setup 2 wireless VLANS on my network and one uses filtered DNS. Just swap between networks as needed. Of course most people aren't going to have that capability.

Cloth masks are spit shields, nothing more. As spit shields, there's good evidence for their effectiveness. I've seen no convincing evidence that they're good for anything else.

> they've become a totem for cargo-culting all sorts of inane rituals and behaviors

I was just in the hospital for a week for an unrelated illness. Every person I encountered there said they had been vaccinated, yet they still insisted on masking everyone, even when it made communication difficult.

I'm a little terrified that this madness won't ever end-- that the bureaucratic fervor for masks, distancing, and various degrees of lockdowns will emerge again in response to bad flu seasons, for example.

Absolutely amazing engine noise, you couldn't mistake it pulling out of Waverley station in Edinburgh. As a trainspotter I stood on the platform and saw all 22 over the years. I believe the tested engine used to be in the science museum in London but is now in the York museum.

(TimescaleDB person)

TimescaleDB users have seen 98% (ie over 50x) compression rates in some real-world cases (e.g., for some IT monitoring datasets), but compression ratio will definitely vary by dataset. (For example, a dataset of just 0s will compress even better! But that's probably not a realistic dataset :-) )

The reality is that Citus and TimescaleDB [0][1] take very different approaches to columnar compression, which result in different usability and performance trade-offs. In reality one should choose the right tool for their workload.

(As an aside, if you have time-series data, no one has spent more time developing an awesome time-series experience on Postgres than the TimescaleDB team has :-) )

Kudos to the Citus team for this launch! I love seeing how different members of the Postgres community keep pushing the state-of-the art.

An involuntary price change would be one in which Intel is following a price set by AMD. Think about price takers and price makers.

In this case Intel is undercutting AMD and setting a low price that forces AMD to keep its own pricing lower. This is disadvantageous for AMD because its ability to satisfy spikes in demand is capped; additional orders for unexpected demand have to flow through the TSMC pipeline, which is also used by many other companies. In contrast, Intel can meet demand because it owns its production processes; Intel churns out more product and absorbs the unexpected demand. Per-unit margin matters less for Intel because its share of the unexpected/marginal demand is high.

Meanwhile, in practice, when I had to do a brokerage transfer a couple months back virtually, the brokerage had a long list of security questions that they had apparently assembled from various credit reporting and other sources that I had to answer to make the transfer. The identity of my first pet or my city of birth is simply not a big concern of mine compared to the information widely available on me from all sorts of sources that I have no control over.

Ok so 260 mah for 6 hours? Using some 5 year not-that-fancy-at-the-time old technology (Ozmo2000)? That does far far far far more than send audio? That is much lower-latency than what we'd need to compete with Bluetooth (which radically increases wireless power needs)? For comparison, Google Buds are 120 mah & 5 hours. All we need is a 2x improvement in power, for a far less complex device, & we've had 5 years? You are making the case for me my man. This sounds more doable than I thought!!

Miniaturization is indeed a challenge. Who does make really small wifi units? Who do they sell to? How much smaller do they need to be? I suspect it's simply never been a goal. And why would it be? There's no protocols that make wifi even potentially compatible with these sort of consumer device systems, no matter the size! Even with what we have today though, a wifi microphone or wifi gaming headset should be easily possible, no challenge at all, and could have far better quality & likely latency than what we expect from bluetooth. And I rather believe we could make smaller wifi if we had an interest in doing so. We are limited by our imaginations, our imaginations and our lack of standards/will.
NASA's Perseverance Drives on Mars' Terrain for First Time
"NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover performed its first drive on Mars March 4, covering 21.3 feet (6.5 meters) across the Martian landscape. The drive served as a mobility test that marks just one of many milestones as team members check out and calibrate every system, subsystem, and instrument on Perseverance. Once the rover begins pursuing its science goals, regular commutes extending 656 feet (200 meters) or more are expected."
Why can’t this by less wasteful: eg Patreon or other simple subscriptions. Or just records in a DB. In the model of rewards by an artist, no one has an incentive to lie (the purpose nft protects against) and ownership has no true meaning or value.
It is basically the requirements for getting a job as a scientist in my field (machine learning) as far as graduating goes:

1) 1 journal paper as the first author, so that they learn how that process (often is a review or perspective paper on their field, which goes in their dissertation)

2) 2 first author papers in top-tier machine learning venues (goes in dissertation)

3) 1 first author paper in a top-tier or second tier venue (goes in dissertation)

4) 1 collaborative paper with another PhD student (have to learn how to collaborate)

By the end, they have at a minimum around 4 first author papers and 1 additional paper. They can then turn these into their dissertation and these are signals to employers that they are competent scientists. If a student tells me they want to be a faculty member, we increase the numbers a bit (need at least 10 first-author papers to be competitive).

I also require that they be organized when we have our one-on-ones in terms of their experimental output.

That's pretty much it. It may sound like a lot, but I try to put training wheels on for the first couple projects and make them as tractable as possible because I fleshed out the project and found some low-hanging fruit, before I start trying to make them be more independent and drive the process.
The Secret of Nanda Devi
Algorithms for RPN Calculators by John A. Ball (1978) landed in my mailbox two days ago. It’s each and every detail you can imagine regarding RPN. Very well and thoruogh written. A great pleasure to study it:

There's an open-source Android app called Droid48 that gives you a virtual HP48, if you're into that sort of thing.

For me? It's Org Mode for writing. But it's easy to understand how people can become productive in an environment which they spent time learning how to use. And of course there's a modern, Free clone called WordTsar as mentioned elsewhere in this thread if people want to try it out.

Problematic name, could become a millstone on the neck of the developer far into the future.
I would add that "politics" is all about seizing and exerting power over other people's lives. And a small minority of people can seize the power if they are smart enough, even in a democracy, because the majority of people are apathetic with respect to politics and do not envision the stakes, so it is possible to win them over through propaganda and misinformation.
It's useful to browse on a phone if you have limited mobile data, and the text-only English Wikipedia fits onto a modern micro SD card.

In other words, yes. I avoided stating it this bluntly for it being almost a cartoon trope.

But... but one can't believe into any other explanation as any much credible.

Do hundreds of US political insiders lobby for China in one voice just for nothing?

You don't have closet communists, just a lot of very greedy, amoral, and easy to exploit power holders.

American legal system prohibits jailing people for anything but being caught red handed in cases of political corruption.

I have no idea what you can do about that without doing political persecution, but on other hand if you leave it be it will keep being exploited like hell.

Haven't seen this yet. I was a student, but I never got abused there.
However... I was beaten by other kids, and bullied by a teacher before I was 12 or so...
I've also bullied and beaten other kids, a long long time ago.

Today with what I experienced, I believe that we're still some kind of animal, and the predator in us reacts to weakness. Situations usually start small, the perpetrator tests the territory, and the victim usually doesn't say anything or is too surprised to set a boundary. At one point it will go to the next step and further escalation goes from there.

> The black preference at public schools is equivalent on average to 3.8 ACT points. In other words, a black applicant who receives a score of 27 on the ACT test would have the same chance of admission to a public NSCE institution as a white candidate with an ACT score of 30.8, other things in model 2 the same... The second column of Table 3.5 indicates the size of admission preferences at private NSCE institutions. Once again, black applicants receive the largest admission bonus—equivalent to 310 SAT points. A black candidate with an SAT score of 1250 could be expected to have the same chance of being admitted as a white student whose SAT score is 1560, all other things equal in model 5.

I don't think we have quite the same concept you are describing, in English as such but I think we might come close. You can generally take a verb and turn it into a closely related adjective, gerund and gerundive. Anyway, if there isn't a word available in English, we simply steal (sorry, borrow) someone else's - simples! I bet I routinely use a few Turkish words without even realising it. English is a proud mongrel - it was an amalgam from day 1.

"More recently, the controllers checked out Perseverance’s Radar Imager for Mars’ Subsurface Experiment (RIMFAX) and Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instruments, and deployed the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument’s two wind sensors, which extend out from the rover’s mast. Another significant milestone occurred on March 2, or Sol 12, when engineers unstowed the rover’s 7-foot-long (2-meter-long) robotic arm for the first time, flexing each of its five joints over the course of two hours."
I posted a comment on a thread about side hustles - it was about a new business I had just started. That got me a small but significant for the time number of sales (which were doubly important because most of my sales before that had been to friends or friends of friends).

Between the sales and a lot of positive comments, it really made me think that my product was something people wanted, and I decided to stick with the business and go full time.

Back then I was doing a few sales a week, now I'm at ~20/day, and that's just because I'm at my limit in terms of production capacity. I'm now looking to move to a contract manufacturer ASAP. Once I do that, I can crank up the FB ad spend (that's my main customer acquisition channel, and I've got one ad that's extremely effective) and really get rolling.

So yeah, pretty possible that a comment on HN will turn out to be fairly life-changing. Hopefully that makes up for all the definitely-not-life-changing time I've frittered away on here.

Intellij allows you to install pretty much most of the features from all the other jetbrains IDEs as plugins. Additionally most of their IDE's have the ability to code in several other languages seperate from the core experience. Almost all of their IDE's can for example integrate with the javascript ecosystem.

I think you're making a mistake here. Essentially behind the scenes there's one jetbrains IDE. This IDE is a single platform that can take plugins and code in any language and be customizable to your hearts content.

ON the surface however Jetbrains doesn't exactly release this IDE to the public. They deliver different configurations and different defaults on TOP of this IDE, then they lock it down a little and ship each one of these profiles under a different name. All these IDE's are basically different bundles of plugins running on the exact same core platform.

That's why CLion is only a couple years old and still really good. It's because all Jetbrains needed to develop was a plugin and shove it into an existing ecosystem.

This is no different then Vscode when you think about it. Both are coding platforms that can be plugged with new features, it's just that jetbrains locks some of this customization down and sells their IDEs with bundles of plugins that offers a better core experience.

What makes Jetbrains better is this focused and higher quality bundle of features that feels cohesive. What makes jetbrains worse is that this central platform they're developing for is bloated. Everything is slow, takes forever and can lock up.

If Jetbrains just did something to speed up the platform then pretty much IMO it beats anything Vscode has to offer.
Movie Pirates Don’t Mind Waiting for HD Quality Releases
I like reading „classical literature“, and I find I enjoy a lot of it more than I expected to. Often I do have to push myself, because it can take a fair bit of concentration/perseverance, but it‘s usually worth it.

However, I do know the feeling you describe: sometimes, it just doesn‘t „click“. And in that case, I will eventually move on to the next book, and try not to feel guilty about it ;-) (I started „Paradise Lost“ twice. I love the absolutely epic poetry and vivid imagination, but I still ended up getting stuck both times...)
Similar story. Got a 48GX in high school. Everyone had TI89, maybe TI-92. I was the only one with HP.

Even with its lowly Saturn CPU and perceptually slower, it was trouncing the TIs at basically every task, especially when you customised it.

I learned RPN and RPL alright, but also got to dive into System RPL: the low level, faster, much more rich RPL, but where every argument was basically unchecked as it was more like HP-provided ASM routines in disguise.

And then learned to bit-bang stuff on the screen in assembly with all the timing tricks to produce 4 grayscale instead of just black/white. Great for coding small games.

Got the the third party CAS algebra extension card that also replaced the original UI for the same thing, only faster and better, and with a much more potent symbolic solver, whose UI was absolutely glorious to write, select, navigate, and perform advanced stuff.

Also got a maxed out storage expansion for the second slot. Such storage was not solid state so it required a continuously operating CR2032 battery to persist over time.

Unfortunately, as robust as it was, some time after engineering school it took a hard fall too much and was irreparably broken.

Later got my hand on a HP49G+, ARM powered but surprisingly the default was to run an emulation of the Saturn CPU, and CAS was bundled. You could still code for the ARM one though. By that time I lost interest so it currently sits in a drawer. Also preferred the 48 boxy design, especially the mushy keys of the new one were way worse.
She had full thickness burns requiring debridement and skin grafts. You probably need to read up on her injuries before calling it dumb shit.
So this sucks for the developer, but I have another story to share.

I was trying to buy a school bus to make a schoolie out of, the Craigslist add directed me to a seemingly innocuous eBay motors link that looks pretty close to the real thing. I was busy and clicked, totally intending to drop $5k. I got distracted and had to come back to it later, when I did, credit card in hand, the page showed the red screen with a huge warning. A closer look revealed the bad url.

Saved by google? Oh god, I think I need a shower now.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm looking into it right now

Edit: this should be fixed now
"Touchdown Site Named

With Perseverance departing from its touchdown site, mission team scientists have memorialized the spot, informally naming it for the late science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. The groundbreaking author and Pasadena, California, native was the first African American woman to win both the Hugo Award and Nebula Award, and she was the first science fiction writer honored with a MacArthur Fellowship. The location where Perseverance began its mission on Mars now bears the name 'Octavia E. Butler Landing.'"
