Same in Switzerland. The taxation laws and low interest rates lead to a perverse incentive where people get million CHF apartments that they never pay off because if they do pay it off their real tax rate would go up tremendously. So they just make interest payments on the debt.
So I'd be interested in the HN hive-mind on this one... I've never done DB programming before a few years ago, and have basically only done it with SQLite. So when I ran into this sort of error, I just figured it was normal, and wrote code to check for the BUSY and LOCKED errors and just retried the whole transaction in a loop.
TFA also mentions `PRAGMA busy_timeout`, which looks like it would do something similar (but with a timeout).

Is that not normal for databases? Can't you get a transaction conflict which needs to be retried for Postgres as well?
Mushrooms don't have an agenda. The owner of the brain-computer interface probably does.
I have to echo everyone else here that the homepage could be much more effective.

My first impressions without scrolling:

* Calendso has something to do with calendars, based on the name.

* It has a popular paid competitor called Calendly.

* It's open source, and there is a hosted version as well.

I do not yet know what problem it is solving for me or its existing customers.

Scrolling down slightly further, I see the testimonials, and see people find it when looking for a "scheduling & booking platform". I assume that's what it is, but I don't know why I need a "scheduling & booking platform".

When I scroll further or click "Features", I am jumped down the page, and I find out it is easily customizable, and has a bunch of integrations. I don't entirely understand what I can do with it or how I can interact with it as a user.

I have never heard of Calendly, and thus head over to their website. The first thing I see is "Calendly helps you schedule meetings without the back-and-forth emails". Clicking their "Features" link, I find claims they are "The best automated scheduling software" and without scrolling I learn it "automatically check[s] availability and help[s] you connect with your best contacts, prospects and clients".

Based on my glance at Calendly, I'm not a potential customer or user, but I only learned that from your competitor, and I only learned about your competitor from you.
Remember that episode of South Park where leaders of the world gave Canada coupons and the prime minister said it was a win?
Rents are ~30% lower (my estimate based on my experience), salaries are ~10-20% lower (varies over industries, not really relevant for large companies). Sounds like you're still getting a good deal if you live in Berlin.

Many other things are cheaper as well. Power is -10% in Berlin for example, compared to Hamburg. Local taxes are also lower, e.g. business tax rate in Berlin is 410% while it's 470% in Hamburg.

I get the impression that it's mostly the citizens of Berlin not knowing what things cost elsewhere.

Given that the multiple backend strategy only succeeded in replacing an existing backend with another backend several years later without achieving any of the interoperability goals of the JVM or CLR, I'm not even sure how to speculate on the reasoning behind that decision.

I'd say, it turned out to be more difficult than expected?

You haven't addressed my point that NQP yanking the rug out from most other languages running on Parrot harmed Parrot. That seems like a material concern.

I guess I don't understand how NQP would be yanking the rug out from other languages, technically speaking? That it could be seen as a vote of no-confidence: well such is life in the open source world.

You haven't addressed my point that I personally spent multiple months offering to make Parrot better fit NQP/PCT for P6 and was repeatedly rebuffed.

Not having been around at that time, I don't think it is up to me to address that point. If you were rebuffed, I can only surmise that interpersonal and technical relationships had already soured enough not to trust the validity of your offer. Note: I'm not saying that the intent of your offer was questioned.
It does not fundamentally change the argument, so nitpicking does not change how valid an argument is.

Sorry to be so blunt but that theory is really just false. There are no jobs elsewhere, the jobs are in the city. I'm also not a "lowly paid worker", I'm in the highest quartile of income in my country and work as a full-time researcher at university. Nevertheless, there is no cap on the rents in my area and they continuously increase even for my existing contract. They have increased sometimes by several hundred percent for new contracts in my area, so if we ever had to leave our current apartment, we'd be forced to spend more than 3/2 of our salaries on rent alone. Even relatively well-off families will have troubles getting affordable living space in the foreseeable future, thanks to AirBnB, hostels, and long-term investments into (right now mostly empty) luxury apartments. How the average family can do it in my country is mysterious to me, but I'd wager most of them only can because they have very old rent contracts which do not have in-built rent progression.

The market forces you refer to are fictitious. What happens in reality is that the middle class is dwindling, there is an ever increasing divide between land and house owners and mere renters, and at some point in the more distant future the whole system will break down.

You have a design where logs are added to a queue (something like ZMQ perhaps) and have a process/thread writing the logs to a separate SQLite database.

Sounds a bit like concern trolling if this is used to stop or delay building new apartments that people would love to move into.

> They should build up instead of sprawling like the most terrible cities in the world do

When I was in Berlin, it seemed to me people in Berlin wanted the impossible combination:

- Continue to afford to live in the city (ergo more housing in the city)

- No sprawl to keep the car traffic down (ergo still more pressure on housing in the city)

- Keeping the green spaces (so no denser housing)

- No higher buildings, or God forbid, high-risers (so no denser housing)

Or better said, you would find people, who are dead set against high-risers and would tolerate building on Tempelhofer Feld, or who are dead set against using spaces within the city (Tempelholfer Feld), but would probably tolerate higher buildings.

It seems now, higher buildings have won: https://www.berlin.de/rbmskzl/aktuelles/pressemitteilungen/2...

maybe don't "spend a lot of time for study, learning all the technologies etc" just to be financially better than someone. If you like your job and it pays enough what is wrong? You like to live in a society when there are people (the cleaning guys) who don't make enough and have to feel inferior for their job?

AND, these day jobs are fluid, just because someone works a mundane job does not mean that's their only job/contribution to society. In fact, the fact that they work a low demand job can enables them to be more entrepreneurial/creative/commit to their community/family, as opposed to some devs who spend every awaking moment perfecting their craft, only to use that skill to help some corporate sell people things they don't need.

AND, you're paying taxes for all the social services/safety net you're entitled, so you don't have to live in constant fear and save like crazy like people from Ukraine or Asia where I'm from.

Not really true. If you manage to get a "Google locked me out for no reason" post to hover on the frontpage of HN for a couple of hours, you most likely will get help from some Google insider. There are been plenty of such posts on HN where the issue has been resolved by what I assume to be HN-googlers.

> Well, &String is ALSO a valid Rust type

Yeah I know. This is really confusing when learning rust. Coming from another language where there's a single rust type its really tricky to figure out when to use what!

For reference, I now use String for large strings, string builders, and when the string is owned - like in a struct. And &str when taking in a string as an argument to a function. Or when iterating or something like that where you don't want to move the string. And then for small owned strings (like labels or IDs) I reach for the InlinableString crate. That handles small strings inline and puts large strings on the heap, like what Apple does for Swift and Objective-C.

I understand why its this way; but its a pity the best answer rust has is so complex and confusing.
T495s look nice, I wonder whether the performance is worse or not (because of CPU), and how good is the screen compared to XPS.
Yes this is a problem. Berlin is full of people who think it is their duty to be against everything.
Berlin needs much more new housing. I keep an eye on the market both for buying and for renting , and the prices for buying have exploded upwards at the same time as the number of flats for rent has steeply declined.

Empty ugly spaces (not Parks or Public squares) are a symptom of a lethargic bureaucracy, not a healthy thing.
This is weird. Czech Republic (Czechia) is not in the list of eligible countries but every other of our neighbours is O.o. Including Slovakia and Austria which both are even smaller countries than Czechia by number of Residents. I wonder why this is.

Edit: Judging by the comment of required business email and gmail for example being blocked, I consider this hackathon somehow with their rules arbitrary and can't consider this to be some kind of fairly judged hackathon for those prices.
Exactly, Coinbase actually seems to give a shit about the customer relationship, something which is virtually nonexistent in the crypto space.

Case in point: for a long time they covered all network fees when withdrawing from Coinbase Pro, while most exchanges charged a flat rate which inevitably was abused as a profit source.

I came from a 15” Macbook Pro, and at first it felt a little smaller, but now I am more than used to it such that I can’t even remember what it was like to code on the 15.

I do spend most of my time on my laptop in bed with my knees up though, so the laptop is closer to my face.

That being said, I love my XPS 13 with Ubuntu. Battery life is good, everything just works, build quality is high, and the screen is beautiful (I got the 4k one and run it at 200%).

I won’t be going back to apple ever again (and I used them for 13 years). I feel much more at home in linux.
> Its surprisingly common, especially when a machine is underload and spending ages flushing to disk. A kernel oops happens and bam, broken partition.

1. That is what journaling file systems like ext4 are for. These are exactly to prevent that unfinished writes of metadata corrupt the file system.

2. Of course, it is possible that the Linux kernel goes all bonkers, writing random stuff to you disk and firing up nuclear missiles. But I have never seen that. I also have never seen a kernel Oops on a NAS. Kernel crashes are usually caused by faulty device drivers.

3. Also, in this aspect, there is no technical difference at all to a commercial NAS since they use Linux as well. They also use ARM CPUs, like the Raspberry, since they save power and do not need a fan (which in turns makes them less prone to failures).

> just a second machine, with a copy of whatever you want to keep.

Keeping backups is something I would seriously recomment for any kind of NAS or server.

I do really not see how your argument applies in any way to a NAS based on a Raspberry Pi. The main difference I see is that it is substantially cheaper, and better suited to people who want to install extra software and occasionally like to tinker a bit. And I am obviously not recommending that the Central Bank of Canada or an institution like that uses it.

I am not sure about that. Usually, when people only use Chrome to test and develop; Firefox/Safari users end up with problems. When someone tests on Firefox; things usually end up working on Chrome without problems.

This might be due to Firefox users being more aware of standards than just "whatever runs on Chrome today", or because Google tends to ship non-standard behaviour with their browser and make it a "standard" with their massive marketshare. Or it might be related to Firefox developers implementing the standards more carefully in order to protect their shrinking marketshare.

In my experience people get way more complaints when the developer uses Chrome and the user uses Firefox than the other way around.
Socialism is the worker's ownership of the means of production not "when the Government does stuff"

Taxing unoccupied properties could help to ensure existing properties were actually used and not just held empty by speculators.

But yeah, the main solution is building stuff - I think we need to build residential skyscrapers in the West like they have in Eastern cities, otherwise the urban population densities we are arriving to are unaffordable for most citizens.
From TFA:

The only time you need to consider a client-server setup is:

- Where you have multiple physical machines accessing the same database server over a network. In this setup you have a shared database between multiple clients.

- If your machine is extremely write busy, like accepting thousand upon thousands of simultaneous write requests every second, then you also need a client-server setup because a client-server database is specifically build to handle that.

- If you're working with very big datasets, like in the terabytes size. A client-server approach is better suited for large datasets because the database will split files up into smaller files whereas SQLite only works with a single file.

I have run SQLite as a web application database with thousands concurrent writes every second, coming from different HTTP requests, without any delays or issues. This is because even on a very busy site, the hardware is extremely fast and fully capable of handling that.

The claim is that most of the time you don't actually need multiple instances.
The definition of treatment resistant depression is one of the filters that narrows down the list.

"creating a system to train the body in preparation for anti-colonial resistance."

It was actually completely the opposite, the modern yoga practices were actually inspired by colonial rulers as it was time when in Europe it has become very popular and fashionable to exercise. Maharaja Krisharaja Wadiyar IV has hired Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (who btw died in 1989, just 32 years ago) to come up with somethign similar to Swedish gymnastics and Sokol movements in Slavic countries, just based on Indian traditions. It had nothing to do with colonial resistance, it was just a fashionable thing coming from the West, like later jeans or McDonalds or Starbucks (or cross-fit training for that matter)...

The failure modes of software and hardware are different, and this needs to be taken into consideration.

If you take a reel of 1000 resistors, and build a bunch of boards with them, then one fails: local redundancy can help, and the worst case is the failure of the board around that resistor.

If you take something like left-pad, then each usage of it is not a separate component, they're all the same component, and will fail globally all at once or not at all.
