Weird, and scary.

But maybe I can kind of see it. Here's a protest. Let's say it's Proud Boys, and Antifa shows up. And here's a mail carrier out trying to deliver the mail, who drives (or worse, walks) right into the middle of it. The Post Office might have a legitimate reason for wanting to know, so they can keep their on-duty employees from harm.

Is that what's going on? Is that all that's going on? I don't know.
I keep sayin' it - SQL in the browser!

I'd love to get rid of all these client-side state management libraries and just drop an SQL DB in there and allow components to subscribe to changes to queries on record updates, and then sync it to a cloud DB.

One interesting problem I came across is how to know when your local DB has enough records to be able to run a given query. E.g. If your team has 100K tasks in their cloud DB, and you run `SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE tasks.assignee = user.id`, and then another query of `SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE tasks.assignee = user.id AND tasks.completed = true`, the second task is a subset of the first, so it doesn't need to hit the server except to check if any updates were made to the tasks table. Then apply this to all queries including ones with joins. Actually some fun relational algebra can be used figure it out - one of the perks of working with SQL. The problem is actually similar to how to [incrementally maintain a materialized view](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Incremental_View_Maintenanc...) which Postgres actually does not support (Oracle does).

Israel steals land from the Palestinians. The entire creation of the state of Israel was the taking of land from the Palestinians and giving it to Israel, which continues today through the illegal settlements in Palestinian territory.
I have to admit, I can completely understand how submitting source code patches to the linux kernel doesn't sound like human testing to the layman.

Not to excuse them at all, I think the results are entirely appropriate. What they're seeing is the immune system doing its job. Going easy on them just because they're a university would skew the results of the research, and we wouldn't want that.
I've seen the Bible mentioned a couple times now. I'm curious, did you learn about it from watching the VidAngel original series The Chosen now streaming free from their app?
I know about this project from HN and weeklyOSM but I feel posting it now (when most of the finally-we're-able-to-host-OSM-maps-in-distributed-way toolchain is still in development or planning) is a false start. The only ready-ish part is the renderer.

I hope this will not become vaporware. For my taste - too much is different from everything we are familiar in the GIS world. Which is a good way to riskify (opposite of de-risk) your project.
I identify with your comment. I run a SaaS product that has been around since 1998, but it isn't even listed in Crunchbase, which this article uses as a reference for the number of SaaS products out there. Also, "Software as a Service" wasn't even a phrase when we started out... even "Application Service Provider" wasn't really prevalent at first.

Parsing Protobuf at 2+GB/S: How I Learned to Love Tail Calls in C
I guess most people that uses erlang (or apps made with erlang) know what BEAM is, just like people that uses java or java apps know what JVM is, so the author doesn't feel the need to explain it anymore.
Putting the ethical question of the researcher aside, the fact you want to "properly review them at a later point in time" seems to suggest a lack of confidence in the kernel review process.

Since this researcher is apparently not an established figure in the kernel community, my expectation is the patches have gone through the most rigorous review process. If you think the risk of malicious patches from this person have got in is high, it means that an unknown attacker deliberately concerting complex kernel loop hole would have a even higher chance got patches in.

While I think the researcher's actions are out of line for sure. This "I will ban you and revert all your stuff" retaliation seems emotional overaction.
For one, it’s a way of punishing the university.

Eg - If you want to do kernel related research, don’t go to the university of Minnesota.
But the point isn't 3rd part assessments, the issue is that people want transparency of the algorithms; i.e. the intellectual property is exactly what people want to see.

The branding is arbitrary. If you want to read the tea leaves, it seems to indicate that Apple is going to incorporate more Mac-like elements into the iPad Pro, which from its inception has had some users struggling to make full use of it's power.

The ad they showed it with involved Tim Cook "stealing" the M1 from the Macbook and putting it in an iPad. So if you want to predict, perhaps there will be some big software news at WWDC.

But that's just speculation. There's nothing really different from what the M1 is and what people expected the "A14X" to be.

Wagon was THE best local SQL IDE on the market back in 2016. It provided automatic metadata visualizations, histograms, run history, and easy graphing for every query that you wrote, with built-in sharing for teams. It was perfect for exploring your data for the first time. Out of nowhere, Box bought them in 2016 and I have no idea what that team ended up doing. https://www.wagonhq.com/

PopSQL has stepped in and filled 90% of the void, but I still miss Wagon.

It's not inconceivable to have false flags / canary trap type of documents.
This is a problem for every language stack. .NET has been around for 20 years, there's no way to have the rest of the web constantly update everything. The official documentation helps by being very thorough and gets you pretty far without needing other research.
What does it matter? The information on the laptop is still subject to all the normal procedures of journalism: follow-up, look for corroboration, seek confirmation, ask questions, look for evidence tampering, and so on. Instead, the story was buried and ignored. It boggles my mind that anyone could defend this as proper behaviour by the press.
I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I don't think this is a continuation of the original research. It'd be a strange change in methodology. The first paper used temporary email addresses, why switch to a single real one? The first paper alerted maintainers as soon as patches were approved, why switch to allowing them to make it through to stable? The first paper focused on a few subtle changes, why switch to random scattershot patches? Sure, this person's advisor is listed as a co-author of the first paper, but that really doesn't imply the level of coordination that people are assuming here.
Absolutely. It has to be there, and users have to be forced to configure it at install time.

How many times do we need to repeat this mistake?
This was (1) research with human subjects (2) where the human subjects were deceived, and (3) there was no informed consent!

If the IRB approved this as exempt and they had an accurate understanding of the experiment, it makes me question the IRB itself. Whether the researchers were dishonest with the IRB or the IRB approved this as exempt, it's outrageous.
Agreed! Also note that violent Criminals have absolutely 0% incentive to purchase firearms via legal means or actual background checks leading to denial. Their intent to commit harm is by any means possible and they WILL figure out a way.

You say that. I too believed as you did. I looked for the joyous day when I could sleep through the night with our first and second and third.

But it turns out toddlers will get up in the night and ask you to tuck them back in, they will get up because they had a scary dream, because they can't find their stuffed animal, and don't get me started on night terrors.

The point is I don't think this tracks.

I have to question the true motivations behind this. Just a "mere" research paper? Or is it there an ulterior motive, such as undermining Linux kernel development, taking advantage of the perceived hostility of the LKML to make a big show of it; castigate and denounce those elitist Linux kernel devs?

So I hear tinfoil is on sale, mayhaps I should stock up.
htmx by itself is so good—when paired with discipline in the backend in creating proper fragments anyway—that so far I haven't needed hyperscript. But then again, htmx is so good that any project by the author has my vote of confidence by default.

Still, I oughta try this to make a proper judgement.

But I don't because it literally takes an entire government agency to do it right. The incentives might be misaligned, but the BLS is a large enough entity that if there really were problems with their methodology, it would be publicized. Short of that, I'm more inclined to believe the BLS over a random commenter.
This seems like wanton endangerment. Kernels get baked into medical devices and never, ever updated.

I would be livid if I found that code from these "researchers" was running in a medical device that a family member relied upon.
I've never used Erlang, but have read up on it a few times over the years. I think a large reason why it's not more popular is that the concepts are so abstract and hard to grok, partially because -- as you mention -- there is a lot of overloading of terms from Unix land. e.g. a VM isn't a VM by the definition used in most colloquial contexts [0], a process isn't a Unix process, etc. And yet despite all this, you can run it on Unix systems. This is confusing.

There isn't really a solution to it, since it's not like Erlang can start from scratch and rename everything, but I really think this kind of cognitive overhead discourages people from learning new languages. The same challenges exist in languages like Haskell.

That said -- "devs are too lazy to read" is no reason to stop innovating. Erlang seems quite cool and I hope I get an excuse to use it in production one day.

[0] Yes, I know that Beam satisfies all the technical requirements to be a VM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_application_virt...) My point is more that, colloquially, people usually refer to a VM in the sense of a guest operating within a Hypervisor.

Technically analogous to pen testing except that it wasn’t done at the behest of the target, as legal pen testing is done. Hence it is indistinguishable from and must be considered, a malicious attack.

There's a restaurant in London that incorporates cacao in some form or other in every dish. It's a bit of a gimmick in that in a lot of them it's not really noticeable, or just used very sparingly. It's probably easier to do with the constraint of "some form of cacao" than chocolate, though.
I have mixed feelings about Prisma. I do think it might be the best general-purpose ORM for relational databases in the Node landscape, and support for Typescript with autogenerated interfaces is amazing. But it seems to fall short in some ways as well (my experience with ORMs in the past is limited to ActiveRecord and Mongoose, both of which I haven't touched in years). I've only been using Prisma for ~2 months, for an internal application on which I'm the sole developer, and I'll keep using it. But given a new project and freedom to choose, there's a very good chance I'd go with another ORM depending on the use case.

One of the things that is most perplexing to me is the inability to autogenerate a seed file from existing data, to reseed a new database. This would be incredibly helpful for testing and working with staging data. For example, we have a staging database and staging server, and want to be able to reseed the database with some data set, but don't want to write all the data inserts by hand. I'm sure there are many ways to avoid doing this (db-specific export/import, scripting the inserts in a loop over a collection of arrays of values which you've curated by hand, or in our case just copying the sqlite db file). Still, Prisma's story around seeding and data fixtures in general currently leaves a lot to be desired.

There have also been many rough edges I've run into around shaping results (getting category names which have been applied to all blog posts by a given user, for example), and applying schema changes, but I'm not willing to rule out user error / inexperience for many of these
This isn't 2006 Las Vegas or some shitty 50 year old Florida suburb propped up by tourism, we're talking about every major metropolitan area that has jobs. People are buying because rates are rock-bottom, yes, but also because that's where the jobs are. This is different from last time, and aside from the Fed raising interest rates (and boy do they need to), there's no end in sight to the insanity.
Ha! This is not my lived experience at all nor of my friend-group. My older kid, 5, mostly sleeps fine now, but both he and his sibling had middle-of-night issues well into their 2s. Even now, if one of my kids wakes (sometimes many hours before I would choose to wake, sometimes due to things like bed wetting), I’m not going to be finishing my nights sleep, and even if I did, the quality is simply lower.

Pre-6 months, we’re talking about a zombie lifestyle where there is no “sleeping at night,” just sleeping between feedings.

I acknowledge there are definitely both cultural and hereditary elements to this, but your comment is so starkly different from my experience and the experience of my friends.
Calling it 'Etherium' to provoke Ethereum advocates is completely inappropriate as per HN rules.
Banks are conditional and have 30 days. Cash offers have no conditions, literally sign, wire money, and hand over the keys. Conventional loans, backed by HUD, need to go through a process. Because ultimately it's HUD who owns these loans and they are, well, slow as any government bureaucracy.

Before these times, cash offers came with a slight 5-15% discount because of the convenience and speed. Now, cash offers are overbidding other cash offers who are overbidding conventional loans. This happens in the hottest markets; South Florida for example.

Bitcoin production occurs at the margins where power is cheapest, because it uniquely does not matter where the mining takes place geographically. Many Bitcoin mines are using power that was completely unviable to use previously due to distance from grid infrastructure. I would expect it to have relatively little impact on electricity prices in general, and essentially zero impact where electricity is already expensive.

Except that at least one of those three, did [0]. The author is incorrect that none of their attempts became git commits. Whatever process that they used to "check different versions of Linux and further confirmed that none of the incorrect patches was adopted" was insufficient.

Some people are questioning whether banning the entire university is an appropriate response. It sounds to me like there are systemic institutional issues that they need to address, and perhaps banning them until they can sort those out wouldn't be an entirely unreasonable thing to do.
Any benefit that a "buyer of last resort" entails can easily be provided by either government or derivatives markets.

Bitcoin takes away resources (energy and semiconductor manufacturing) from socially good things. It is much better when people admit that they are greedy than when they try to paint their greed as some great effort towards saving the planet. This goes for both traditional money managers and HODLers.

I'm hoping for a correction soon, as much as we might all end up unemployed, it would be a great pleasure to see these SV thought leaders cut down to size.
Counterpoint: perhaps companies could still "donate" location data to the government, maybe even for exclusive perks such as tax write-offs or access to information and resources.

This bill sounds nice in principle, but like everything else, could be completely negated by simple loopholes. It could even be smoke and mirrors, so that they can say this issue has already been addressed by legislation. Defective legislation is rampant.
Proof of stake lacks the security properties of proof of work, because casting conflicting votes is free.
>college games are a bit more faster paced, mostly because those kids have something to prove so they can get into the NFL draft.

That isn't the reasoning at all. The NFL doesn't have guaranteed contracts, so in a very real sense the players in the NFL are playing more to stay in the NFL than players in college are playing to get into the NFL. Also some of the highest paced teams in college are the teams full of players with no hope of playing in the NFL.

The reason some college teams play faster than the NFL (and it isn't all teams) is because there is a wider talent distribution in college. It is possible to win games there by being faster and playing faster than your opponent. Talent is more evenly distributed in the NFL. You can just out athleticism your opponent.

Another factor is that both players and coaches spend more time strategizing in the NFL. It is harder to just run the same scheme every game without it being eventually exposed.
If by "it does make a massive difference" you mean it implicates the university as an organization rather than these individuals then you're right.
The mRNA vaccine process has been developed over the last 10 years or so. The actual spike protein was identified early, so the main work was to create the mRAN sequence for that protein. Not easy but the tools have gotten much better in recent years.

This was the first large-scale use of this kind of vaccine so it is an amazing field test of the process. Normally that would be a slower, incremental process but the risk from Covid forced them to simplify and speed up the process.

The thing is, even most creators who are on Patreon are actually indirectly relying on the ad-funded system currently. Most of these people you're referring to are probably Youtube or Twitch creators for example. But why do you think Youtube/Twitch let's them freely upload as much content as they want and have millions of people watch it all for free?

You do realize than in an ad-free world, these creators would all have to pay to have their videos hosted in the first place, which is a huge barrier of entry before you even get enough followers to fund your content in the first place. The current variety and depth of creators we have wouldn't have been possible at all without free unlimited video hosting that Youtube has provided all this time.

A non-ad-based internet will be filled with rich people who can afford to put their content out there and will cut out everyone else. It's basically like the finance world today, where the rich get richer and the poor can't get their foot in the door.
