For offline apps, WebSQL would have been awesome. Thanks to some ivory tower types at Mozilla we can't have it [1]. We got SQLite in a computer on Mars but apparently that's not enough to base a web standard around because some people think that It WoUlD Be BaD iF wE oNlY hAve oNe implEmentation! Oh noooo!

(This despite the fact that every Linux distro uses the same kernel and Linux hasn't suffered some sort of monoculture meltdown.)

> You are throwing the switch in the trolley problem if you are telling people to ignore the scientific consensus and spreading anti vax fud.

I'm not spreading any FUD. I'm as far from an anti-vaxer as you can get. I think you didn't read my comments.

> A few deaths out of 6 million defies any confident statistical pronouncements. It is rounding error.

But it does suggest there is a problem there. I took issue with your no deaths on the pro vaccine side. That's not true, as you admit.

> People without the background to understand what 6/6,000,000 means in a medical research context will hear these fud statements and opt not to get the vaccine.

This is sadly true. That's the same odds as dying from lightning in a given year. People suck at evaluating risk. I had many arguments with my parents about the risks from the vaccine, when it's literally lower than the risk of getting out of bed in the morning. People are irrational and it makes me sad. I'm also irrational, and I don't always catch it.
You legalize insider trading for everyone.
Or alternatively we can just pay them a lot more since they'll make money anyway, disallow them from earning money in other ways and at least have their profits have no additional negative effects.

Not that I expect people would be comfortable paying politicians more (see how many complain about e.g. CEO pay) so I guess we are stuck with incentives for corruption instead.
I understand it is possible to use it like an overpriced exerbike with a useless monitor glued on.

Thank you for the overly-literal semantic quibbling, it wouldn't be HN without it.

You set up a timer to fire a "calculate next sample" interrupt at ~4khz, then your main thread just walks through your MIDI file or whatever and tweaks the synthesizer settings.
A time-lapse of the search algorithm is what I would like to see
Eeeehhh I'm gonna disagree - most open source macOS projects have those bugs because it lacks the resources/dev-power to keep up. Windows and Linux in comparison tend to have much more in the way of developers willing to contribute.

Cocoa/AppKit rarely change, and it's often one of the bigger complaints with it. Big Sur is probably the most radical version change set in years, but to say Apple "keeps changing things" for Cocoa/AppKit is not really correct.

Also, if it's not clear, I _do_ read other documentation. I still think wxWidgets needs work, and one of the devs even admitted as much in their response to me.
I'm excited to see what sorts of CloudFormation templates people have lying around or which previously shared templates people find interesting.

To continue the show and tell part of Show HN, here are a few examples that caught my eye.

This example architecture that meets the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Information Security Manual for the Protected classification level. It includes patterns you can borrow for three types of private subnets, AWS KMS-based encryption, and AWS WAF firewall protection.
https://www.stackery.io/registry/?repo=https://github.com/aw...

Maybe you want to go back in time to 2019 when our problems involved how to construct serverless data lakes. If so, AWS Samples has you covered with this example which helps you think about both data ingestion and storage across several services.
https://www.stackery.io/registry/?repo=https://github.com/aw...

I've seen a lot of shares of the serverlessland patterns library, including this deceptively simple pattern aka the "fan out" for managing data from kinesis streams.
https://www.stackery.io/registry/?repo=https://github.com/aw...

Someone shared the DataDog template for deploying their integration, which you should scope the IAM Role to your resources before you deploy it, but it’s wonderful to see vendors providing CloudFormation templates for their stuff.
https://www.stackery.io/registry/?repo=https://github.com/Da...

I see lots of shares from the consultancy Widdix. They focus on modular patterns that incorporate production-ready configurations, like this one for running container services in ECS.
https://www.stackery.io/registry/?repo=https://github.com/wi...

Finally, if you’re feeling nostalgic for winter, this example from Symphonia is a lab for benchmarking Lambda cold starts for Java runtimes so that you can better understand how they behave and plan configurations accordingly.

We have to educate the broader populace about the issue, then politicians will use the issue to gain political capital, win elections, and maybe change legislation and practices.
Came here to say this. To expound a bit, you can use it as a highly pluggable/extensible express plugin which you can point at any postgres db and get all CRUD and other operations exposed in GraphQL, without writing any code.

You can easily hide or rename fields that you don't want exposed, override their behavior in Node, and add generated columns or fancy SQL mutations either in JS or directly in your DB and have them exposed as you'd expect in GQL.

With a commonly-used plugin, you can even do rich ORM-like queries directly from graphql, like:

query {
allPeople(filter: {
firstName: { startsWith:"John" }
}) {
nodes {
firstName
lastName
posts(filter: {
createdAt: { greaterThan: "2016-01-01" }
}) {
nodes {
title
body
}
}
}
}
}

More examples here: https://github.com/graphile-contrib/postgraphile-plugin-conn...

(Personally, I think their docs are good at telling you how to use it but fairly bad at showing how great the tool is)
feels like overengineering to be honest

AWS Cognito – Bad, Bugged, Baffling
AWS Cognito and Amplify Auth are confusing, bugged and with nonsensical defaults - and here are examples
You're on HN and it's supposed to have somewhat better discourse, don't bring the quality of this site down. Next time try googling the population (!), per capita income, rates of English profiency and technical know-how, international phone calling prices, unemployment rates of the two countries... and apply some basic statistics / common sense. There are just some of the factors, there are probably more.
PHP doesn't run in the browser. This is about client-side SQL.
Personally I think that the conflict of interest posed by stock holding lawmakers is bigger than the advantages they gain from trading on information that only they are privy to.

For example will a lawmaker holding a large portion of their wealth in Apple shares want to introduce legislation that forces Apple to allow alternative app stores (costing Apple the 15%-30% cut of all the app store sales)?
So you really don't get it.

Java is only part of Android OS SDK, you are the one bring Swing into the picture.

You can use Sia from browser nowadays. They built a decentralized CDN network called Skynet on it. https://siasky.net

You can host web apps on it too, here's the "Skynet app store": https://skapp.hns.siasky.net/#/apps/all
Intel has been trying to get their 5nm fab process right for sometime now. So far, they have not been able to make it work. This is not software. It's physics. It's chemistry. It's material science. These are very hard problems to solve and there's currently only one company that can do it and their machines cost $200 million dollars and have a several year backlog of orders.
anecdotally two friends of mine wanted AMD but bought Intel because of availability. You may be right.
I'll give you a counter-anecdote specifically about the competitive part: I'm currently about a year into the most consistent running habit I've maintained since I was running high school track years ago, and it all started and is occasionally sustained with Nike+ Run Club friend challenges.

I'm not running with any of the friends I compete against, we all live in different parts of the country. But on the days when it would be really easy to just skip the workout for some reason, not falling behind in that month's challenge is incentive to go do it anyways.

Could I have that kind of self control on my own? Sure. But I'm realistic enough to know that sometimes, a little social pressure goes a long way. Wanting to be the first person to hit N miles for the month (or just not be embarrassingly far behind the pack) is a very real motivating factor.

(But FWIW I only feel this way about running because it isn't my favorite athletic activity. When I spend a day throwing down 80+ miles on my bike, I don't use Strava or anything like that, the ride is the reward. But I can't do an 80+ mile ride on a weeknight after work for some quick cardio)
I think people have an exaggerated expectation about Rust even though it's good at what it does. But if you really want to do low level development, then learn C first along with a good OS theory book and perhaps a compiler engineering and networking book. Those are the three areas (except for embedded programming) that Rust is being used right now.
The income for a US senator or congressman is already literally exactly at the 95th percentile at 174,000. Making someone wealthy doesn't remove their incentive to gather more wealth it gives them a stake and incentive to be more effectively corrupt.
Show HN: Learn computer graphics by writing GPU shaders in WebGL
Cool to know re: 3.1.5, but I don't think I'll need to dig into it as Dolphin upstream moved to Qt, and eventually, hopefully, Slippi just mirrors that.

And yeah, I hear you on the people issue... open source is sometimes a thankless job. Overall though, great job on wxWidgets so far - I really do think it's an underappreciated project.
And its graphql counterpart, postgraphile (described elsewhere on this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26823819)
If you want to learn new skills, you need to do it in the morning before work. You should use your freshest mind for yourself, not your employer. I've never had success learning after work, except for the odd day when I am really sharp. Choose a project that interfaces with alot of open source, and really stretches what you think you can do with a computer.
But if they bet first, wouldn’t that makes them unfit for making decisions on where the contract should go? Shouldn’t the government official be excused from this decision making process if they have a personal interest in one of the candidate?
Yeah; reading this the only 'gain' I saw was "we don't have to define an API". But instead you get to try and ensure that raw SQL from the client is always safe.

The former isn't THAT hard to do. The latter is extraordinarily hard.

Get the former wrong and you fix it before it ever goes live. Get the latter wrong and you fix it only after you're massively pwned.

This is just a bad tradeoff.
> My mom for instance prefers to use the standard definition channels because the channel numbers are easier to remember and type. She says she can't tell the difference between that and full HD so :shrug:

Pretty sure our cable box just automagically switches over to the HD channel when you tune into the SD one.
This is what Roku is attempting -- to control the point of contact (physical TV in living room) and commoditize streaming services. They've been able to squeeze some concessions out of streaming companies in exchange for customer access.
I actually wrote a blog post about this exact scenario. It takes ideas from the datasette project (https://simonwillison.net/2017/Nov/13/datasette/#Arbitrary_S...). My example opens a read-only sqlite db and exposes the entire SQL API through a single PHP file.

The post is here: https://ohdoylerules.com/web/sql-as-an-api/
The code is here: https://gist.github.com/james2doyle/9e4b2b4f17e33bfb236fbdaf...
There will be no question because I didn't include a question mark.
I strongly agree it's a loser's game - given our current political system. People who aren't willing to fight dirty and compromise their morals will fail since that's where the money is - and that's sort of my point. We need to change the system to make it so that these people can fairly compete by pulling money out of the political system and evening the playing field.

I'm also not advocating that blindly loyal idiots should be in charge - a good comparison to make is to look at more local governance. On a local level the stakes are much lower so the money being thrown around is far less - this lets people get into politics because they want to make change which is an anomaly at the national level - most of those politicians are there because it's a career and they value preserving that over everything else.

Another decent idea in this direction is term limits but I'm a bit concerned that that might deprive us of competency.
Seriously, I am very serious about preventing conflicts of interest and insider trading. But Microsoft is a terrible example, they are extremely diversified. The contract was announced 3/31 and it's obvious that it had no particular impact on its share price since that date when looking at its peers: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSFT:NASDAQ?comparison=...
Yes, using the backup API you could load on on-disk database into memory and then do the reverse to a temp file and atomically move it to replace the saved copy. There’s even an example of using the backup API for this on the SQLite website

https://www.sqlite.org/backup.html

This wouldn’t be a great solution for large databases, but if you’re using it as a document format up to the couple dozen MB range it’s the perfectly acceptable.

Alternatively you could just go the working copy route - make a copy of the database on open and move it back in place when closed. This would also let you recover unsaved changes if you crash or are terminated before the user hits save, as well as the obvious benefit of not needing to keep the entire database loaded in memory and needing to write the entire thing out on save.
This strikes me as very similar to an abusive, narcissistic person miraculously having a change of heart and wanting to mend the path of destruction behind them after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Here we see Bezos hurriedly trying to patch up his horrendous legacy with an empty letter. Too little too late. Hopefully peoples' memories aren't so short to forget that he's been nothing but the encyclopedic example of greed.
It's pretty rare for an ORM to cover all possible scenarios. I just introduced another raw query to our database because our ORM isn't able to generate `insert into ... select ... where not exists (select ...)` which is crucial for one critical bit that needs to handle idempotent writes.
Singleton agrees that yoga poses as described in the material referenced by the OP here were existent far back, and that traditionally, yoga was considered far "more" than just physical poses (asana), as is evidenced by patajali, numerous historical references, the 8 limbs of yoga, etc. What he supposes, more controversially, is that more recent forms of physical asana, such those based as mysore style ashtanga yoga, were not evidenced in the original material he consulted and were subsequently added, though of course it must be said that much of this material was at least gathered, if not authored, though a colonial lens. (It must also be said that the traditional Indian method of writing on what are basically dried leaves has not done history any favors here) Therefore he assumes that those particular physical asanas (things like sun salutations, vigorous vinyasa practice, etc) were not in existence prior to the injection of more western forms such as calisthenics. He has no issue with the older material. Whether or not you believe his other main assertion is I think based on your experience with yoga, cultural appropriation, time spent in India, and related other matters. The irony of course is that, if you believe him, is that the "feel good do no good" part of yoga was added from western material and then re-exported back to west, where it because the predominant form almost to the exclusion of the others. Certainly from my experience of being in India and practicing various forms of yoga here and here, I can say that there are many forms of yoga existent in India which largely do not equate to the westernized versions primarily practiced in yoga studios here.
Regarding the Pelosi example, it's even worse than what was suggested above. The TSLA trade was placed a few days before Biden came out and said they planned to buy EVs for government vehicles, which was an announcement that directly caused TSLA to spike up the second it was broadcast to the market.

Again though there's plausible deniability, as you say. It needs to just be outright banned.
yep, the invention of 'server-side client cache' is ahead of us
This is the sort of statement that sounds good to idiots and people who've never played poker. Anyone who's made money at casino poker is aware of how much of a hassle retards spasming at the card table can make things even if they're going to lose in the end.
I think it's because some configurations of Golem use virtualization features to sandbox individual workloads, and some platforms have limitations around VMs-in-VMs.
Something I think makes mathematics both incredibly powerful but difficult to break into is the notation
I mean, Amazon has traditionally been a pretty great place to work, even in fulfillment centers the pay is above industry averages and FT employees have perks they wouldn't get anywhere else.

They're having some issues scaling that while maintaining good conditions (esp. when contractors are involved), but we're talking about a company that has nearly doubled its workforce in the last two years. I doubt very much that any company in that size range could do the same without big problems; clients I've worked with and talked to see similar problems scaling from 50 to 100 employees, but no one cares because the company isn't a household name.
That was configurable for ages and default is on strict for a long time now ...

Compatibility with old decisions vs. doing the right thing™ is always a pain ...
I agree, I have long thought sortition might be the right answer. Right along with leveraging modern technology to reset our representative-to-citizen ratio to something like the constitution originally prescribed.
Just require them to announce their trades publicly 24 hours in advance. And let them manage their own finances. All these shenanigan's would disappear.
Nonsense, a different word doesn't suddenly make it universally true. It could be a guiding philosophy, something like "to live a good life provide value to your community". But it is in no practical way a rule.
Our brains are probably also only a lot of mathematics.

The border between intelligence and non-intelligence is either a very wide grey area with bricks on one side and Einstein on the other, or it's a well-defined line and much closer to the bricks than to us.
Those things became cheaper to produce because of technological advancement, largely developed by people who did not benefit from this rise in production. They do not represent wealth in any meaningful sense. Wealth is economic power, and 55" TVs dont help you start a buisness or pay a downpayment for a mortgage. Internet connection may once have served as some measure of economic power, but its no coincidence that those with the power currently are doing everything they can to restrict the rights of normal people to create using it.

Imo, its really about things that give you more agency over your own life and the world. Cars are good, they represent a great increase in our ability to travel and make decisions for ourselves.

> We don't have two houses, but the ones we have are worth twice as much.

This is largely a wealth transfer to the elderly. Among under 40s, home ownership has fallen consistently since the 1990s, with only a brief increase in 2001-2005.
I was under the impression that voip is not considered "wireless" but I could be mistaken there.
I speak for a lot of people that while I agree with you in principle, the sudden interest in this idea in Republican circles after the prior administration's absolute mockery of conflict of interest and self-dealing laws seems hypocritical.
Isn't Pelosi worth like 100 million or something? How much money is enough for these people? :(

How quickly are these trades made public? Maybe we should just copy the congress people's trades and make some profit ourselves :P
Thanks for the reply! I live in Columbus, so I'll have to check out Brukner next time I'm near Dayton.

If you guys love places like that, check out the Sugarcreek Bird Farm in Bellbrook[1], not too far from where you are. It's a third generation run store and part time bird rescue[2] dedicated to parrots and some other larger birds (African Crow and a Toucan are some of their non parrots). They also breed and sell some, but they care more about the bird's health and wellbeing than anything else. We take our green cheek conure and budgie there for grooming and boarding when we're out of town.

Most of their larger birds on display are ones they keep for themselves and have out for socialization, but they're fun to watch and play around with. They recently opened an outdoor aviary in the back of the store. On nicer days, you can step out there and get up close and personal with their Palm Cockatoo (will land on your head, but it means no harm), African Greys and some other larger parrots. Always makes me leave with a smile after observing the surprising intellect of our avian friends.

[2] They took in a cockatiel not long ago someone abandoned with its cage in a trash can. Sweetest little bird though that they aptly named "Treasure". Will play "peek-a-boo" with you and beg for head scratches
Build it and they will come.
How about initiative and referendum in the 26 states that have such processes and agitating for such processes in the states that don't.
People are confused about this because Pelosi rejected the stimulus in October, prior to the election. She didn't accept until December, post election.

Some democrats were urging her to accept it in October: https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1315078896853843970
But this is so cynical. Not to be naive, but if we can't at least start from the framework that the government should serve primarily the interests of the people and be outraged when it doesn't, then the American project is pretty much over
Right, obviously as scale goes up, much more complexity is needed to maintain the same level of behavior. A bit like how unicellular organisms can replicate simply, but humans need to go through a whole process to make an offspring.

This Game of Life video shows what I mean perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8

Yes, there's a ton of complexity in there, but when you zoom out enough, it looks and acts very similar to the lower level.
Fixed: if you want to get rich, already be rich. If you want to get into politics, it helps to be rich.

Takeaway: just be rich, and you can do whatever you want.
