> Querying is in pure JS, easy to do stuff programmatically.

You mean you do your logic at the application layer? Like if you need X objects and Y objects where Y have an identifier to the X objects they're related to you build them in JS after retrieving them?

What is the difference from getting a json object and doing the "querying" in pure js?

And isn't it easier "programatically" to just join the data at the source?

> But the speed advantage really lies in the early-stage prototype development. If I have to do it in postgres, the amount of code necessary up front, when inevitable schema changes happen, etc. makes mongo preferable until things settle down.

But again, what is the difference of having a record with a column with json, that you just do rodeo dump?

(I think pg even allows you to do all sorts of indexing on inner fields of json if I'm not mistaken?)

I will echo the replies to your comment. I made a decision to fix myself last August. I switched my diet to lower carb and more protein, drank more water, started getting up earlier, intermittent fasting, plus some other things. I've lost ~23kg (~50lb) since then, and my quality of life has improved. Don't set out to half your mass, just set out to lose a little, then a bit more, and keep going. Don't fail before you start. Drink lots of water, your brain and skin will thank you for it.

Because it's not in their best interest. If the 1% pulled something like that off, the price would drop a lot and therefore their ETH would be worth less.

It's one of the core pillars of any blockchain, that the incentives are aligned in a way so the best outcome for people is the one where the gain the most, so it forces them to go for that way.

> the real issue is that the workers were forced to take the risk

Who forced them? They are free to quit. But by not working they will not get money

> "It had promised they could remain home if they felt uncomfortable returning to the line. The Post reported in late June and July that workers concerned about covid exposure received termination notices after they did not return to work

Yes, this is not a charity - and if people abuse the provision and stay at home all the time, they are no longer workers, so they are terminated.

The journalist just wanted to turn that into a poor vs rich, deforming evidence as needed. I wonder what are your intention by supporting that.

I was ready to give you benefit of doubt and assume good intention, then I checked your comment history.

In short order, you are:

- attacking AirBNB ("A handful of landlords got richer, turists could travel cheaper (not necessarily a good thing overall), but an entire class of citizens got kicked out of the city as now no landlord wants to regularly rent their flat")

- attacking people making money with their free software ("Following the recent events, wait until multinational corporation x comes, repackages your software as a managed solution, hosted on their infrastructure and resells it through their channels"),

- posting needlessly political comments about reducing waste ("I have an even better way to reduce waste: Let's raise food prices so that no one can afford to eat! No consumption, no waste")

So I think you too are out for blood. Maybe you should be reported for repetitively breaking the rules?
Like others, I agree this is not a facts problem. This is a relationship problem. You should find a therapist with business experience or an executive coach. Commit to going weekly for at least 6 month.

From the way you describe it though, it sounds like his approach life has always worked for him. People rarely change in that situation. So in your shoes I'd be asking myself a) whether according to his values and desires he's sufficiently motivated to make a deep personal change, and b) if not, what relationship structure would work for everybody?

As an example of the latter, if he's not emotionally ready for business partnership, is their a relationship that lets him generate value without messing up the wider system? E.g., what if you were the 51% owner and CEO, with him being Founder and Chief Scientist or some other title that implies prestige but no executive authority? Then you give him an assistant and a series of things to get done so that he can be happy and productive, but he can't actually block the kind of structure you need to run a business at scale.
Irrational numbers cannot be finite almost by definition.

Yeah, this is not at all ambiguous if you know anything about chess and cheating, this person was straight up cheating and is trying to cover it up. There is no need for a rematch like some are suggesting, this is like if some random person claimed that they ran a 2 hour Marathon, you don't need to have proof to know it's BS.
However you could change the protocol / software and block the addresses of people who don't support the PoW chain.

It would be a bit messy.

However if you are sitting with a massive ETH mining rig, you would like to do something with your hardware.
It doesn’t say it “works badly” it says the borrow checker can’t protect against external modifications to the file while memory-mapped, which has a host of issues in C as well.

You can mmap files in Rust just fine, but it’s generally as dangerous as it is in C.

Great article, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Hope to find more articles like this from you in the near future :)
The recommendation for serif fonts is standard, although the research on legibility is inconclusive. But pull a book at random from your shelf and open it up: what do you see? Right.

Serif fonts were worse for reading on the blurry screens that we all used to have. But now that print-like resolution on phones and laptops is commonplace, the classic rules for typography have reasserted their relevance on the web. Nevertheless, because of fashion and force of habit, sans-serif fonts still predominate.

Youtube Account “SmartoVersity” got stolen and deleted later on due to some hacking attempts. The link to Youtube channel was https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmLqonufc7iW4ATGQe-Crxg

Yeah it would be a grave misinterpretation of "fearless concurrency" to think Rust somehow validates that access to some shared resource with it's own semantics is also safe. I'm not educated on the subject but that problem seems pretty intractable for a language to solve in a general sense.
I would look at the Rockefeller Habits and the One Page Strategic Plan method. Put it up physically in the office, and make a daily and weekly review together, then someone (you) can share it digitally with everyone else.
In this case it can, but only conditionally.

At all times, with sufficient knowledge and defined state you could instantaneously determine the Doom value, so it is a real number.

With the example, prior to creation of the game Doom, Doom value would be 0. Around the point of creation, the value would probably be 1, because prior to that point Doom did not exist, and then it would.

After creation, there could be a limit given the available hardware, languages, etc. and code for Doom in those languages. A large number of variations of the code in various languages could still produce Doom. Given sufficient knowledge, there could be a finite value of Doom. But practically if we had to feed an actual set of numbers that could equal Doom into a machine given what we could ascertain, it would be a finite set.

In our example, since there exists a defined value for Doom, it is real.

Since that defined value can only conditionally be known, and otherwise is a set of unknown length, it is conditionally not a constant that is representable by a fraction.
Definitely a great way to keep a streak up without needing a heavy app with a bunch of trackers to do it.
Lately on another Rust thread somebody pointed out that C programs use a lot of indirection like pointers and vtable dispatches which actually detracts from the supposed mega-speed of the low-level C. I found that to be mind-blowing and felt stupid for not remembering that earlier.
The miners are holding the original chain. They have a massive incentive to do so, as the forked chain Vitalik creating puts them completely out of business.

Vitalik et al are trying to force a fork, as they did when they left the original ETC chain.

Coinbase made the ETC forked coins available, not instantly but once they had time to do the coding to get it set up. Grayscale, who knows, you don't own any cryptocurrency with Grayscale. My guess is they'd go ahead and pull in those additional coins into the value of the fund, but you really have no guarantee of how they would do it unless they've put it in their terms somewhere.

All of the coins can be forked. Not your keys, not your coins as the mantra goes.

> The default was NOT MATERIALIZED only because previous versions of SQLite didn't have this feature at all.

The default was NOT MATERIALIZED because it's what the sqlite devs had selected whe they implemented CTEs.

Pg did the exact opposite before the feature was added (and exposed to end-users): CTEs would always be MATERIALIZED. And similarly, with the introduction of [NOT] MATERIALIZED they changed the default in some cases: for pg if the CTE is non-recursive, has no side-effects, and is only referenced once, then it defaults to NOT MATERIALIZED.
That's actually a really good idea that I hadn't thought of! Of course it would be nice to have full flexibility to display whatever I want on there, but I think this would be useful. Great suggestion, thank you!

Getting a healthy lifestyle I think is important and at any age is a great time to improve. I think of it more of a journey than an endpoint. It will have ups and downs but try to keep it heading generally in the right direction.

I have a coworker who lists exercise as a required “hobby”. I never thought about it like that, but it what helps her keep it up.
> so you have to declare the CTE as materialized to get this optimization

Not necessarily. You can get a materialized CTE if you request it regardless of its usage pattern, but you will also get one if the CTE is used more than once unless you suppress it.

I recommend using a microwave to heat water (with a porous wooden stirring rod to prevent overheating).

I cook all of my food in a microwave using techniques and technology developed in the 70s. Browning pans have evolved since then and I can cook better food than ever in one sixth of the time. My oven/grill is called a MicroPro and is made by Tupperware. It is actually life changing. My wife cooks for me consistently for the first time in our marriage of 10 years, I never get burned cooking, and we get 2 hours back in every day.

I am convinced that the microwave cooking movement was opposed by the fossil fuel industry and oven manufacturers.

It's even less of a story than that. The best estimates of COVID prevalence are in the 20-35% range, so about 4x the listed numbers. Since it's likely given their focus on testing they are closer to the true rate, the fact that it's "hundreds" and not "thousands" is the real story.

It's just a hit piece.

Most covid deaths occured in people while there were multiple safe and effective but banned vaccines. Anyone looking to place blame has 1 definitive place to look: the vaccine ban.

IMO there are likely a lot of companies and tech teams that would use a tool that could do that in a secure and simple way. But it would have to be targeted at the IT/database/backend crowd as that is who generally controls access to the data.

> There are exotic CPU architectures explicitly designed for latency hiding, mostly used in supercomputing.

I don’t know much about supercomputers, but what you described is precisely how all modern GPUs deal with VRAM latency. Each core runs multiple threads, the count is bound by resources used: the more registers and group shared memory a shader uses, the less threads of the shader can be scheduled on the same core. The GPU then switches threads instead of waiting for that latency.

That’s how GPUs can saturate their RAM bandwidth, which exceeds 500 GB/second in modern high-end GPUs.
> This costs heap allocations

I'd like to point out that this is not always the case. Some libraries, especially those with embedded systems in mind, allow you to provide your own memory buffer (which might live on the stack), where the object should be constructed. Others allow you to pass your own allocator.
