I think it's good to note in the article that the second query is slow because the RDBMS doesn't use indexes (and which ones). Currently, the text is hand waving the problem and moves on.

If the article had, instead, listed indexes, shown they were used in simple cases, shown they weren't used in the second query, dug into why they weren't (maybe they were but it was still hella slow) - that would be a ton of value!
Actual source code is always the best despite the inconvenience.
I'm sad to see that Windows is not an officially supported target. This doesn't feel like the kind of project that anything gains from assuming POSIX, yet a lot of software is written this way. I'd love to take advantage of asdf, nvm, ranger, and now Nyxt!
To be honest, I've never understood Chesterton's Fence - maybe you can help me understand.

On a many codebases I've worked on, it seems prohibitively expensive to research the specific context for every nonsense piece of code before refactoring it. Does it count to say "this code exists because the original author added a lot of nonsense - let's refactor"?

Before any of that, read the book "Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: An Informal Text on Vector Calculus" by H. M. Schey. It will make math of EE, particularly the interaction between electricity and magnetism (Maxwell's equations) a lot easier to understand.
The community would fork the blockchain at some agree-upon moment, add a new encryption scheme, and carry on.

There would probably be some competing chains as different communities tried to be "the one". Things might settle down at some point as it's really a "winner takes all" market.
Should this law require USB-A or USB-C sockets?

And does the outlet on the ceiling of my garage for the garage door opener need a USB socket?
> Every time I read HN or watch youtube my ambition goes up

As the old joke goes, don't do that then.

You say you tried to retire; you must have had a previous big push to follow your ambitions in your life. Did that work out well or badly?
I think this is one of the curses of modern life, more so in the rat race, that one misses on just living with kids (who, most likely, will be living with parents for probably two or three decades of their lives and then move out). The current times generally have more fathers being participative in parenting compared to the past. It seems such a waste of time, if it’s feasible without breaking the bank, to not enjoy more of this phase.

This early stage is also the time when the kids are more dependent and more close in some senses. Can’t roll back the clock later.

BTW, a grammar nitpick. It should be “but for my wife and me”, not “ but for my wife and I”.
I loved that part.
About years ago I saw a phone that could no longer connect to Play Store, probably because of lacking support for newer TLS versions. It was a rebranded Chinese phone, with no firmware update available.

I managed to install Firefox and a couple of apps by transferring the APKs from my phone using Bluetooth, but it's a popular brand in my country and I'm sure a lot of people are in the same situation.

Rule #1a: take someone else’s phone.
I think this is called denormalization, right? What you could try is to instead of modifying the domain for this specific use-case, create a read model instead (if you don't want to pollute your domain) . Sometimes its very easy to write data, but reading is a pain. For such cases, you can prepare read models that contains all the data necessary.
> I thought I had learned the hard way earlier in my career not to presume I know better than the original author.

It happens in other fields, too. When I moved to a new city, and my new doctor disparaged a prescription from my previous one, without being able to offer any understanding for why the decision might originally have been made, I promptly found myself a new new doctor.
Lead paint being banned by law helped immensely, so not sure about that example. Outlets are also a lot easier to replace than lead paint.

… not that I think it’s a good idea to make USB outlets a legal requirement.
>...10x faster.

That's absolutely not true. I encourage you to re-read the article. The very specific case of qd=1 random reads are 4x (less than half what you suggest) faster, however in that scenario you probably care about latency more than speed. Also, qd=1 random reads are uncommon in disc-bound real-world scenarios.

There are plenty of benchmarks which have the optane close or losing, and as benchmarks become less synthetic the gaps largely disappear. The gains are marginal where they exist, and the price is outrageous. The problem is that optane is an appealing idea which simply failed to pan out.
- Paying close attention to nature. I've seen thousands of cool creatures I would previously have missed, and logged a lot of them on iNaturalist so it is also contributing to citizen science (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&user_i...)

- My wife and family. Without much opportunity to see anyone outside our bubble these close relationships have become even more important and special.

- Dialing back on work. Or, inversely, trying to work too hard was the biggest negative contribution to my happiness, and lowering commitments then eventually quitting entirely for a complete break has been a big help.
Downplaying China and their potential is exactly how China got to the level of prominence they have today. I don't see the Soviet Union as a good comparison. I think China could still fail, of course, but they're much more likely than the Soviets (from whom they no doubt learned some of what not to do) to succeed in the longer term.

The biggest problem is that the West is allowing them to win, by being addicted to cheap goods and losing the ability to manufacture many things (cost-effectively or at all) ourselves, while China doesn't open up their markets to outsiders, at least nowhere near the same degree as we give them access.

I wouldn't say "no one"; my personal opinion is that if the West doesn't wake up, they'll quite easily overtake in a few decades, if not sooner. We continue to enable their rise, while ignoring their bad behavior, all because we need access to their manufacturing capability... capability we've willingly ceded to them over the past decades.

It's a new version of the iPhone, with a new price.

It would be a different case if Apple stopped including the charger and earpods with the iPhone 11.
That seems astonishing and hard to believe; the WaPo is paywalled, where are they getting that number from? Is it by any chance an organization trying to sell cybercrime solutions?

SV has probably had just as much a role in enabling cybercrime as fighting it.
Granted, it’s a big markup in terms of percentages.

For me it was three things:

I was already working from home most of the time, but it becoming full time provided more flexibility.

Increasingly over time, I reduced my actual working hours (being lucky enough to do so) without a pay cut. I know I’m not getting pay rises anytime soon. So it seemed appropriate that I spend lesser time working.

I started exercising regularly, and have included at least one yoga session everyday towards the end of the day. I practice for 30-45 minutes by watching someone’s instructions (either an app or video). I don’t know when I’ll drop the regular practice, hopefully not soon. Next on my list is to make meditation a daily practice.

If there’s one piece of advice I could give people about work, it is that there’s always tomorrow and next week and next month and next year to do it. There are many other things that could matter more in life.
It honestly doesn’t really matter to the world if “Silicon Valley” moves to another or multiple other locations. What’s far more important is, “does the ever-accelerating dominance of a small number of companies show any signs of weakness?” and this article doesn’t seem to think so.
I'm confused. The article states:

Fructose, for example, appears to damage insulin sensitivity and liver function more than other sweeteners with the same number of calories.

but:

(https://foodinsight.org/what-is-fructose/)
Fructose is also known as “fruit sugar” because it primarily occurs naturally in many fruits. It also occurs naturally in other plant foods such as honey, sugar beets, sugar cane and vegetables.

and the article specifically recommends eating more fruit and vegetables.
You'd need to come up with better examples than nationalistic flamewar comments like that one and its parent, both of which were correctly flagged by users. The only problem I see with flags in that hellish thread is that there weren't enough of them.

In case anyone is a budding airplane nerd, Greg’s Automobiles and Airplanes did an 8 parts series on the P-47: https://youtu.be/mzQuq2FHdeE

He really nerds out on the engineering and flight details and pulls out NACA charts to illustrate. The complexity of getting good performance out of WWII airplanes was immense because the air pressure changed with attitude.

The channel itself is just amazing.
The difference is that cybercrime is self-solving: when companies start losing enough to really impact their bottom line, they'll finally have incentive to invest more in proper cybersecurity. Whereas with climate, any thing a single company or individual does has absolutely minimal impact on reducing their risks unless everyone else does it too. Most cybercrime isn't a result of really really clever cybercriminals, it's a result of really really poor security practices, a solveable problem.
The 130 octane gas you refer to is actually 100/130 lean/rich avgas. Quite similar to the 100LL still used today.

Towards the end of the war the Allies were using 115/145 in fighters for even more oomph.

As for fuel consumption, those WWII piston engines actually were quite efficient, look up BSFC numbers if interested. Fuel load and range were critical issues. It took many decades, energy crises and computer control for car engines to catch up.
Thanks, this is a very informative video
I think the article doesn't make very many conclusive points to be fair, it's more just probing an interesting question about offloading biological compute, but this is certainly an energy question. Everything in biology is due to entropy. The article even concludes talking about the ideal experiment would be to measure the hypothetical metabolic costs of web building vs having more brain tissue and no web building, if such a setup of otherwise equivalent spiders were possible.

I think its just an example of how it might be simpler to distribute the load. It's usually simpler to build multiple cheap things than one big expensive thing. We see this with CPUs: our supercomputers aren't single core monsters, but instead thousands of desktop class CPUs strung up in parallel and we distribute our computing jobs across an array of them because this is much cheaper.

Most devices charge with USB-B, not wirelessly. If they wanted to skip to USB-C, sure, that's fine. Including wireless would have been a good idea five years ago, when it started becoming popular. It's still popular today, but it's way too slow for modern phone battery capacities.
I have been a long time fan of Tim O'Reilly for the past ~20 years or so. Recently I had the opportunity to interview him [0] for a podcast/videocast I run, in which we covered his friendship and work with Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, how the O'Reilly Media company came to be; but most importantly, Tim's "political" involvement in keeping the internet free and open.

In particular, I really like his way of looking at good startups and good companies: the ones that don't simply intercept or capture value, but that instead create it.

I am just guessing here. Have you acted upon your ambitions yet, or do you get overwhelmed and depressed everytime the ambition shoots up (could be due of other startups, HN, friends, YouTube, anything)?

My guess is that most people when the latter happens n number of times(n being the threshold), they breakdown. It's very difficult to know if it is a want or a want-to-want, or a have-to-want. But you can be sure that if the latter is happening, it is never a want, it is always either a want-to-want, or a have-to-want. Once you realise that, I think it will be easier to realise what you really want.
Fair enough and I agree, but I am looking for examples of UI builders with great UX and flexibility because I am currently building one.

Agree, they looked at braided cable [1] which I hate as it is a dust magnet. And not doing something properly like Anker [2] which is a cable that refuse to break. ( As most cable should be )

>completely ditch Lightning so people could use more devices with the same cable

That I disagree, there are billions of lightning cable out there. Ditching them for USB-C doesn't fix anything.

The last time I had a wireless chargeable phone, the charger would get uncomfortably hot, which I assume degrades the battery as well.

I understand wireless charging for my toothbrush (charging port = less waterproof), but it's such a "solution searching for a problem" for phones. Plugging in a cable just isn't that hard.

This is not specifically denormalization because I'm not combining/flattening two models - instead, I'm moving the special treatment for employees from a totally separate path to a property of the existing customer model without removing/merging the employee model. Regarding read optimizations, there are several ways, some of which are vendor specific e.g. PostgreSQL/Oracle allow materialized views which can make accessing this data simple (if often required though they have their own issues).
You can flag them because generic tangents are against the site guidelines. It might help, but when they're at the top of a thread, the upvotes will most likely dominate the flags. That's why moderator intervention is needed.

Btw, a lot of the time these comments are perfectly fine as long as they're halfway down the page. Humans like to talk and we naturally talk about what we already know, and repeat things we've said or felt many times before—it's just the way we are. The problem comes more because people upvote the familiar (because hey! I feel that way too!), and then suddenly the more boring category (regurgitating the familiar) chokes out the more interesting one (new and unpredictable information). In most cases that wasn't the commenter's intention. The solution is for a countervailing mechanism, like downweights, to dampen the effect of this suboptimal one. Unfortunately that still requires moderator intervention, which is a bottleneck.

Do you mean USB- A?
Apple's one does 15W which is plenty.
Yes, it’s still risky. But at least you’re still understood because of the pervasive startup culture in SV. Everyone in SV can relate to startups. I think what’s tough outside of SV is that people don’t relate to startups. People might think you’re just weird.
I thought the same thing about NFT art trading. But if everyone is part of the cargo cult and the cult is making real money then is it still a cargo cult?
You could stereotype, if that helps.

I think my personal (and admittedly strange) experiences have led me to believe that due to some of the inherent structural aspects of personality, as well as some of the dissociative barriers that come up due to past traumas, that it's easy for us to just leave fears in the subconscious and never really address them. For some people, it's more severe than others.

I have a rather extreme version of this due to some complex historical trauma, so 'dialoguing' with myself is... basically a daily occurrence.

The idea of bringing parts of the brain stuck back in trauma to the forefront isn't new or special, necessarily. I do personally find the construct of a casual conversation to be really helpful, though it takes a little bit of wrangling to get to know the parts of ourselves carrying a lot more fear.

For people with more complex trauma, especially developmental, those parts of our heads can turn into individual personalities (DID, 1-2%, or OSDD, about 12-ish percent from what I know). But the same principles hold in subclinical space.

I think stream-of-consciousness journaling is really good for ekeing out those parts of yourself for conversation. Also, just simply talking out loud and switching 'camera view' between the two points of your brain.

The real kicker is when people have lots of really deep and conflicting traumas, coupled with a lot of amnesia in the switching of personality states and etc. That's a really tough one. But I'd reckon for most people, the lighter version of those DID-adapted tools to 'talk to one's self' still works in what I'd consider to be a subclinical (not a doctor or psychologist) presentation of internal dissociation/fragmentation.

There's other 'bits and pieces' of those frameworks scattered throughout the standard psych world that seem a bit strange by themselves -- the child inside, talking to the different parts of yourself, etc. They're all parts of a framework that really does make a lot of sense on the whole once you're able to get it at scale (in my opinion), it's just that the pieces alone admittedly look ridiculous.

If either of y'all want any info on that or have any questions about the exercise (or the above post), just let me know and I'll answer as best as I can. I think the main thing you'd stand to lose is a bit of time and/or personal shame if it went wrong, in which case, you should probably ask the part of yourself that's feeling shame about why they're feeling shame, and resolve the shame there and then as much as possible.

And then you'll hopefully get something either way!
That feels a little bit like pointing at Obama to prove there's no racism in the US.
The real comparison would have been between Cifar-10 (or Imagenet) and a downsampled version there of, not upsampled, and I actually know for sure that this harms performance.. So this ideal world and real world training are definitely not the same!
You're right, it is pretty unambiguous: they can share with any partner they like, for any reason other than marketing with the only condition being that the partner “protects personal data”.

That's it. No other limits or restrictions.

So yes, partnering with a insurance company is allowed by their privacy policies.

If you want to have faith that Apple will never do evil things with your data and that their is nothing to worry about, that's up to you. I have plenty of friends who thinks the same about Facebook or Google you know…

Nothing lasts forever. Some time ago, Detroit would have been on your list, too:

Unix philosophy to use single programs for one task has its particular context, and Emacs does not fit into the context, just as no other programming language is made "for single text". Your comparison is out of the context.
Climate should be considered worse, the 250B will go up. and the lost oppotunity cost isn't factored.

But the climate will just keep getting worse.
This argument does not make sense to me at all. C has a standard library, so why can't it be a good one? There's also many things about the language that could be improved without sacrificing any of its low-level qualities.

I think it's fine to not include a charger as long as it's clear it's not included, and you sell chargers where you sell the phones.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a phone that came without a charger or cable if it was the same connector as my current one. Brazil has pretty good mobile phone penetration, so most phones are replacing an existing one, and most existing phones have a charger.
