We're building a data mesh at Splitgraph [0]. We provide a unified interface to query and discover data products. You can query the data using the Postgres wire protocol at a single endpoint, with any of your existing tools. And you can discover it in the catalog, using a familiar GitHub-like interface. You can try this right now on the public website, where we federate access to 40k open datasets. Every dataset is addressable with a `namespace/repository:tag` format. The `tag` can refer to either the live data, in which case we forward the query upstream, or to a versioned snapshot of data (a "data image") that you build with declarative, Docker-like tooling. [1]

On the enterprise side, integrating the access and discovery layers gives a lot of advantages, especially around data governance. On the web, we give users tools to connect data sources, document them, and share/audit access to them. When a query comes through the endpoint, since we're implemented as a Postgres proxy, we can rewrite/filter/drop it in accordance with rules, or we can forward it along to the upstream data source(s) and/or join across them. If you use Splitfiles to generate versioned data, we can also provide data lineage/provenance and full reproducibility.

We've been working on this for ~3 years but are still pretty early. If anyone wants to help, we just raised a seed round and are hiring a remote team -- check my comment history for links.

Good old Castle Access - and they really seem to take the “Castle” part pretty seriously.

We were there at a similar time - I probably saw the rsync.net servers.
>with C#, not every team jumps to the latest language level just because it was released.

Exactly when it comes to Java, even though there is now a 6 month release cadence, take a survey of which version most are using. Certainly every time I bring this up, someone pops up and says, "I'm using 11" or "10". But the vast majority of "enterprises" are at max, Java 8. And they'll remain on 8 until something forces them off of it. Enterprises by nature move at a glacial pace. So their reason for adopting Java is not because it's "moving fast".
This wasn't pure charity. This is religious outreach, proselytization.

That is also my approach, just put Java into the mix, as I hop between eco-systems depending on the customer requirements.

I see Rust as a very good candidate for kernel code, drivers, embedded hardware where automatic memory management is a no go (MISRA-C, Ada/SPARK), and that is about it.
Thank you. I guess I'll have a look at Common Lisp then :-)
Twitter really was horrible, it enabled Trump's keyboard warrior persona. He was too chickenshit (or lazy) to actually say things with a camera and press in front of him, but with Twitter he can just shit post with no consequence.

I read the post you linked and it doesn't seem to say that at all... it's about how async can be improved in general, not revisiting existing features.

Did you mean to link somewhere more specific?
That is bit too paranoid, some people want to live, not just protest. 18th century Paris was filthy place and needed makeover.

Cairo is very congested and dirty city. Protests are last problem in there.
The amount of GAFAM dependencies here is impressive. So Google has all the dead certificate request made by Boston resident ? And more ?
I don't like this one bit. And the article didn't even mention if they try to use something else, so I guess they didn't even try.

From my point of view, paper is better than any Gafam
I dont want to live if it hurts too much. I am pretty clear on death and it is simply foolish not to think pretty hard on how it is a big part of life.

If you wish to die because you are in such a pain, no problem.
Oh yes. Every time I watch a SciFi movie or show about aliens coming and dominating with superior tech, I think, this is... us not someone else.
Yeah, this is Twitter, not Cultural Revolution China. Jack isn't Mao with his Hundred Flowers campaign.
While on first sight, I find it applaudable that Twitter cares and wants to learn, I think it's not in their responsibility anymore to moderate.

They've proven to be incapable and overwhelmed about making legitimate decisions.

They should get regulated and they should stop regulating.

I'm not an expert, but my impression is that most US prisons provide little in the way of true rehabilitation.

I was thinking for world leaders' tweets, it should strictly be news, not popularity contests, not hype machine, not rage-inducing machine. I'm thinking of making it strictly news.

In terms of how people can get the world leader's news (tweets). Maybe something like news feed on their twitter feed, like Youtube has some local news on my feed even though I don't subscribe to anything.
Although a Norwegian, I had to look this up. The line of succession in Norway is limited to the descendants of the living king, so as a result the list is fairly short with just 7 eligible candidates.

If all those were to die, the Norwegian parliament would (in theory) select a new king or queen. In practice though, I suspect that we'd simply end the monarchy.

This is unlike other monarchies where the line of succession is a bit larger. According to Wikipedia, the line of succession in the UK has more than 5000 entries. [1]

Very sad to see a Catholic country go down this path. All human life has dignity, and it is always wrong to end your own life.
>Small bowl of granola (not the shitty sugary kind): stupid huge spike.

Well, you're absolutely right about that. Granola, and indeed all cereals, are really not healthy at all. Salads also won't satiate you (which drastically increases chances of someone "cheating") and usually get drenched in dressings by most.
Though blood sugar is not the prime indicator of health, it can be wearing on the body to have it spiking multiple times a day, which is why I practice IF.
No one would be able to see the world leader's tweets in their home feed. They would have to go to the specific world leader's page (or use a 3rd party app too once again see Tweets from the world leaders in the home feed).

The practical effect would be that only people who are very interested in a world leader (and bots) would retweet them. This would make the Twitter experience even more insular.
Maybe they mean you can follow but the followers count is not visible to the public or the account holder.
Agreed. This is so if they’re questioned by Congress at some point they can say “we regret our transgressions, and have reformed by asking the community what we should do better”

Almost like act first, ask permission later.
Thing is, when you write Java and .NET, it is already possible to be almost C like, specially .NET given the improvements since C# 7.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/grpc-performance-impro...

So when we dive into C++ to write a small DLL/.so to be consumed by those languages, it is basically for doing exactly the same that would be a bunch of unsafe code blocks in Rust.

I’m not sure why “rust async bad” has become a meme lately. I think people who don’t know much about rust need something to put it down and async is just an easy target. I’ve been using rust professionally for 3 years now and think async is great, and certainly has come a long way. I think there’s some work around closures that could be made better (explicit lifetimes, matching, etc) and some ecosystem fragmentation (Tokio, async-std) but I’m sure everything will settle out in due time. Thanks for contributing - don’t let internet people get you down.
Frozen 2, in my opinion, takes a calculated risk in world building for a young audience. They literally force the characters into a larger world to learn new cultures and how these natural forces effect the larger world. Ahtohallan is a giant abstract metaphor for self improvement, confidence, and self actualization. Again, it's in the lyrics of the song.

I'm all for these nuanced layers of messaging that tweak the standard tropes.
I have to interact with my bank maybe twice in a year, and rarely do I have to show up in person. Speaking over the phone works just fine ;) In contrast I have to show up at dentist or hairdresser appointments in person, and I don't consider this "wasted time" either.
Be a free speech platform, how about that?
World leaders can tweet, they shouldn't be able to untweet. It's public record.
They shouldn't be able to block users - If the feedback is so bad, then twitter should be banning those users under regular T&C's
The T&C's that apply to me should apply to them. If they cross they line they should be handled like I would etc.

Pretty simple IMO.
I wrote one of these "considered harmful" papers about the way Terraform passes ID / ARN / NAME / thing_name, policy.id, yadda yadda etc etc (a different way to refer to each resource from each other resource yields n^2 different ways things could be wired up) and I regret it. Seems a bit negative and pointless and I wish I hadn't written it.

I'd rather just say, hey, if Terraform did "pass by reference" we could type less and implementers could take the data they need instead of devs needing to figure out which of 4 different IDs to pass for each of 4 different references for 20 different resources

TLDR: Dont write a considered harmful paper. It's a trap. Write about how to make stuff better, not about how stuff is bad!
I realized that, similar to you it seems, think of my laptop more like my phone now.

Until now, my laptop would be plugged in per default and every now and then I would run on battery. Where as now, my laptop needs to charge now and then, but most of the time it runs on battery.

> I'm convinced that short release cycle and feature 'bloat' are related. I simply don't want Rust to become the new C++

I'm confused... C++ doesn't have a short release cycle and it became feature bloated, so how did that lead you to conclude that the short release cycle of Rust is causing Rust to become feature bloated like C++?
No but some Departments are moving more of their bureaucracy out of the capital to avoid paying higher salaries in a higher cost of living area.

> Regular releases of the compiler are awesome for the same reason continuous deployment of web apps is - each release only packs a small number of features.

Developing a compiler for a complex language is very different from developing a webapp.
Under Anthony Williams, Washington, DC, made progress on improving city government. Under Adrian Fenty the school reforms included an openness to charter schools. I suspect a fair number of upper-middle-class households decided that it was better to stay in the city and send the kids to Yu Ying, Washington Latin, etc. than to move to Bethesda or Potomac.

The increase is probably driven largely by these people, who 20 years ago would have been in Fairfax, Arlington, Montgomery or Howard Counties.

And the area has always done fairly well. An uncle by marriage had planned to move back to Long Island after finishing up at Georgetown Law. Then he read that Arlington County topped the list of US counties ranked by average income for lawyers. He moved across the river and didn't look back. That would have been about 1950.
Optimistically I’d agree, but given corporate politics my gut instinct leads to deep pessimism.

I think this is just a PR stunt, nothing will change that isn’t already planned before this public input session. Move along, status quo.
People think of backblaze as a backup/archive but it is explicitly not an archive - it is a backup and if you delete a file on your system it is purged within 30 days from the copy.

Most people don’t really think about this and expect that any backup is AlSO an archive. You can get burned by this and have to use b2 or whatever it is instead.
Budgeting using a tool like YNAB has allowed me to manage monthly funds more effectively, pay off debts faster, and save up more quickly for the things I want to buy. It's possible to use it by inputting all your receipts in manually but it's such a time sink. Automatic importing let's me see exactly where my funds are and budget quickly in a few minutes at the start of my day. When cards are not importing correctly it's such a difference importing stuff manually.

As another example with online banking switching banks effectively becomes zero friction. When Ally slashed rates it took a couple days to move nearly all funds out to a savings account with a much better rate.

Not to mention nearly all brick and mortar stores have savings account rates that are effectively zero. My first interest payment when I was a new Ally customer was basically what I got the entire ten year period I was at bank of america
"They also made government services much more accessible."

I would say the value of making the forms accessible was worth it. Also with the flexibility to make changes to the forms in the future will save even more time.
Will brushing up help when Microsoft moves all the menus in the next edition? How about when they add in new errors and make File Explorer not return correct results and Windows Search just searches Bing instead of your computer? Or when they add stuff like “you aren’t allowed to attach that file to an email. It’s because it’s open in Word, but we’re not telling you that. Yes, we know this only happens in Outlook and not Gmail.” Its Office’s fault that everyone hates it.
World leaders should not "be subject to the same rules as others on Twitter", they should be held to a higher standard; if some random loser writes a Tweet justifying genocide, reasonable people can disagree on whether that loser should be banned. But when it's people who are backed by a military which can actually carry out a genocide (and, e.g. in the case of Netanyahu and his ministers, the Assad regime, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Burmese military junta, has already been carrying one out for years), they must be banned, full stop.
The US prison system did exactly what the US prison system is designed to do. It's never been a rehabilatory system and we will have to fight to improve it.

Ideally that would be quite a feature, but in practice nothing on the internet is assuredly temporary.

Logistically it’s infeasible. Someone will create a database of archived tweets, or screenshots will circle the web. Etc.
> Why is it so hard to read the documentation and write code in a mindset that everything the documentations says could potentially go wrong, ...you know..., could go wrong?

I'm with you on typical instances of this, such as incomplete writes (which you point out), but didn't you start the discussion asking about atomicity rather than incomplete writes? A guarantee of full writes (and success on each one) still wouldn't guarantee atomicity. Atomicity is something you can't get with a wrapper like that; it needs to be baked into the implementation all the way down to the hardware. So if you can't rely on it in the implementation then that drastically affects your ability to write robust and performant software for it.
Without guns, all other methods I know of are painful and non-instant: hanging, drug overdose, cutting veins, suffocation, what else?

At Dignitas they have the person drink a cup of barbituates. There are a few videos of this entire process on YouTube if you're curious enough to watch such a thing. It appears to be generally painless.

Spain has a catholic history, but is is officially aconfesional (it is in the constitution)
I think the nuance is interpreting "the rules" instead of just:

> "whether or not they believe world leaders should be subject to the same rules as others on Twitter".

E.g. Twitter in 2020 was rife with "inciting violence" but largely depending on your point of view/politics, and if it was "justified". Etc.
And, and we killed those kings out of loving kindness. That's just how we do things in France.

Yet Beijing is still home to some of the best universities in the country and the world. Honestly I've heard of Shenzhen as the manufacturing capital or the tech capital, but it's the first time I'm hearing of Shenzhen as a research hub.

China is also not segregated by cities' expertise but by provincial policy. For example, some cities, like Hangzhou had a very preferential treatment towards tech, by virtue of the provincial investment fund being invested in tech companies compared to the usual state-owned steel mill crap.
I love spy novels. Growing up, the only Genre I read was spy. Ludlum was my favourite author until few years ago when I discovered that Fantasy genre exists! (Hadn't read harry potter until I reached college)

But for the life of me, I couldn't follow Carre's writing and it saddens me. I have ~10 of his books in hard bound from constant gardener, absolute friends, tinker tailor but every time I start reading one, I get "lets go to sleep vibe" as if his writing isn't interesting enough

Maybe I'm not mature enough of a reader.
Twitch did this with some sort of committee late last year and it blew up in their faces.
I cannot speak for him but kind of understand. Obviously depends on what is it you want to do. You go to the bank and express what you need in simple speech to another human, who handles everything. Depending on the bank, a journey to do the same on web/app may be less preferable, especially if handle a lot of mental load during the day.
I don't know if uBlock Origin increases this further, but even without it it's ridiculous. We measured this just for fun in a paper last year [1]:

I don't get where all the hype about WireGuard comes from. It's just another VPN, of which we already have several perfectly well working ones. What is so special about it over all the other things that go into Linux and FreeBSD, and that actually do something new and unique and don't make the news?

Yeah, I already see other tropical-zone countries cutting down even more rain forest to make space for cocoa plantations (in addition to the rain forest they are already cutting down or burning for e.g. palm oil plantations). That's not really the desirable outcome here I think...
The flip side of this is that interfaces are changing constantly. As soon as I've committed something to muscle memory, a forced app update will overhaul a UI and I need to relearn where to find basic commands. When compounded by the hundreds of programs I use across multiple OS's and platforms, I get used to just assuming that interfaces are and features constantly in flux. This means that I invest less in deeply learning any specific tool.
I agree, but it would have to be more than 20% to be fair. Benefits are a big cost to employers. If they are the same benefits between a five and six day week, then I would want 25-30%.
I love Docker, but I gave up on using it on Mac. I put a lot of effort into fighting it, but ultimately, it seems some of the issues are just too fundamental. I like to call the Docker-for-Mac experience the MacBook Airplane. At some point, your fans will start spinning, your productivity will crash, and you'll spend the next three hours sifting through open GitHub issues from 2017 where everyone is still complaining about the same problems.

I'm all in on VSCode Remote SSH development now. It works extremely well, I barely even notice I'm not programming on my own computer, and my laptop no longer sounds like a passenger jet taking off. It was very easy to setup. Our stack is still very Docker heavy, but using the containers on a remote machine makes it much more tolerable to work with.
Rust has had almost six thousand unique contributors, with about 300 to 350 contributing to any given release these days. And that only counts commits landed in rust-lang/rust, none of our other repos, or non-commit contrutbions. Rust is larger than a lot of companies, at this point.

That being said, you’re not wrong that people deserve to be paid for their work, and the foundation was created in part to help work on this topic, to help the project pay bills and encourage employment, but I’m not aware of many, if any, open source projects as large as ours where everyone or even the majority is paid.
