How you present your ideas are as important as the quality of your ideas. My suggestion is that your website's presentation does not present your ideas in a way that is likely to reach your target audience. That's an opinion of course.

Your comment clarifies that you aren't claiming to replace UNIX but that you can use Beads as a general scripting language. Consider updating the big graphic on the front page that says UNIX to Say Bash (sh, zsh or whatever).

Lastly, your response is selling me on graph databases, but I never objected to graph databases as a technology, just your bold statement about them with no caveats or citations. Saying, "graph databases are considered more powerful and modern than relational databases..." is a good way to start a flame war but not a good way to convince someone to use your product.

All that being said, best of luck with your project! I do mean that sincerely.
The problem is that "evidence" is pretty easy to find. Even the wildest conspiracy theories has pages and pages of links to their evidence.

Who should evaluate the evidence for its credibility?
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is probably the single most important kids book in my extended family. It was the first book I got as a kid due to my dad loving it, and Mum sewed me a little toy which was my favourite toy for many years.

It the became a “thing” where it was the first book we got for every kid born in my extended family, and now that I have my own kids 40+ years later it was the first I got for them too. They both know it by rote, have the toys, had the bed sheets, everything. They’re now in the early years of school and still absolutely love the story and have the posters in their rooms despite them being “old” for it.

RIP Eric. You’ve left an amazing mark on the world.
I remember doing something similar a long time ago (~22 years ago), and it'd actually stop removing files at some point because it deleted a file it required for the rm operation. Though I might be mixing it up with dd.

And then there was that one infamous time in Debian libc broke in Testing/Unstable. Suddenly literally every application, minor or big, was broken (everything used libc).
How convenient it must be to always have a paper or two ready that show warming trends are wrong and that it will stop in the next few years. It does not matter that the previous papers in the same vein were proven wrong by facts, like the ones that attempted to draw horizontal lines over the temperature graphs. Just come up with a new theory, pick some data that fits (in paper #2, why solar cycles 21-23 and not the others? No proposed mechanism behind the theory? No problem.), and here's your new justification to do nothing.
> in 1 year and 2 months, we turned 40k of our own funds into 100M.

This would be a challenge even if you had perfect foresight.

If you had gone all-in on Dogecoin, you would still only have ~5M.
Quite right, though it's likely that Microsoft will add Windows Terminal to Windows in a future release.
As far as I've noticed uBlock Origin works just as well now than it ever has on Chrome. I've certainly haven't noticed a downgrade in performance or increase in adverts.
Please be explicite iF you are going to make such accusations. What "bad faith" reason do you postulate motivated these actions?
But you were reading criticism of the naming in the original comment, which wasn't there.
I don’t like inconsistencies. One service has triple back ticks for code, another doesn’t for example. Another supports images, another doesn’t.

I don’t like it for long-form content. It’s good for notes and readmes, but i prefer asciidoc or similar for book chapters given the slightly higher amount of power and structure.
Idk, I disable my friend count on facebook. I have 600, so not shame worthy, just fairly average. It's just unnecessary information. I think many like to the ability to not be "looked down on" by the >2000 crowd, and not "embarrass" the <100 crowd.
I know in the past I felt pain while trying to say certain lies. I do not mean I felt uncomfortable, I mean I felt real pain. It is weird, but sometimes you can cause pain without a direct physical cause.
> the mining centers could be refactored someway into other use for computing power alone

The chips that are mining bitcoin are not general purpose computers.
I don't get Chia. With Proof of Stake on the horizon, is there any real advantage that Proof of Space-Time has over it?
The idea being that much as Java relieves some of the pain of writing object oriented code in C++, finl relieves some of the pain of writing documents in LaTeX. It helps, of course, to have a deep understanding of TeX and LaTeX in doing so. Looking at sile, for example, on my initial look, it seems that the creators didn't fully understand LaTeX or what makes LaTeX worth re-imagining. At the risk of being insulting, it kind of feels less like C++ to Java and more like Perl to PHP, where the creators of PHP were clearly influenced by Perl, but didn't understand why Perl works the way it does.
It has really demystified a lot of whats going on, for me, especially on LinkedIn.

It was probably 4 years ago when our publicist first told us about double spaced motivational nonsense going viral consistently. We were amused, bemused really, because we didn't care for it but were fine with the low effort involved.

Now with the aforementioned tactic, LinkedIn does consistently surface "[First] <Race> [Female] <Accomplishment>" posts, and I like to look at the source article to see if it was actually published that way, because if it wasn't I have a good chuckle because I know exactly what's going on. The people in the comments only react.
Of course that computers, computer programs, and computer science all evolved from previous machines, techniques and concepts. But that's almost meaningless, a truism, (almost?) everything can be traced back historically from something else.

The abstractions that underlie computers, computer programs, and computer science were discovered by analyzing and playing with concrete objects that had a historical lineage, but the abstraction exists independent of the objects. It is the abstraction that's important, not the objects.

When we talk about the first computer and the first program we are talking about the first physical realization of an abstract idea.
This is true. Where I work a PO was issued several weeks ago for a rack of servers, and delivery will be in about 3 months. If cost were no object, those resouces could be provisioned with a cloud provider today. And getting from requirements to RFQ to PO took another 3-4 months.
In my experience it's pretty common to stretch your infra out much longer than 18-24 months. Often finance has a 3 year depreciation schedule, and depending on your needs, you can keep existing workloads on existing hardware for many more years.

The last time I ran physical infra, we had sever racks that I'd originally bought, running in production 5+ years later.

Once you're past the depreciation schedule, they are basically free except for power and space. Yeah, at some point and scale, it can make sense to get new gear that is more power and space efficient to pack more into the same power and cooling budget.

AWS still lets me launch c1-c6 instance types. So they still have the older generations sticking around. Yeah, the newer ones are usually more cost effective, but you do have to do work to migrate to them.
For me it was in the back of the neck.
My ex-wife is Chinese from a city in China where everything is made out of cement.

The reason? The region also lacks trees. They have an abundance of the raw materials for cement, but not wood.. So that is what they used.

Cement is also a terrible material for many climates. Here (ontario) the freeze/thaw cycle causes it to crack unless you use a lot of costly methods to prevent this.
This gets my vote!

I've always felt a little silly to have "REST" included in my resume because too many job descriptions mentioned it as a requirement. Once during an interview, I couldn't resist to challenge the interviewer asking me about "RESTful APIs" that I had built in the past, and I explained pretty much the same thing to him. Thankfully, he was quite open to admit that what most people are doing is not REST.
Ask HN: How do you move across the country [US]?
More specifically, how do you find a moving company that you trust?

I have called several companies, and they all seem to be just brokers, and all have *scary* reviews along side the praise (which seems fake). They all seem to be using the same software (based on their email and quotes). They all follow the same sales pitch. They all criticize the other companies. Talking to them makes me feel like I'm talking to a con man.

They use the exact same phrases like: "We're one of the most trusted names in moving." "We have deliveries on your route several times a week." "Give me two minutes to talk to my dispatcher to see if we have a truck available." (Really? Does every company need two minutes __exactly__?)

I hear of companies charging double and even triple when they get to the location, and hold your posessions hostage until you pay up. I hear of expensive items "disappearing" during the move. I hear of the delivery time of "1 week" turning into "2 months". I hear of items being damaged because they were evidently unloaded and reloaded somewhere in the middle of the transport.

I'm sure that some of you have had to move a large household across the country... Please help me know in whom to trust!

Details, if you need them: I'm changing jobs. I'm not getting reimbursed for moving. It's 1,000 miles, from Indiana to Texas, and I have a 4 bedroom house. I'm being quoted ~$9,000, and I don't even trust the companies!
How does "Proof of Space" actually work. How do they prove the disks exist?
Looks good in the Github Readme file, but having tested the docker-compose/pg setup via docker-compose I think you still have some work to do. A lot of things result in an error, or are not possible yet.

E.g. I tried a simple example with A country table containing an iso-code and a name, and a company table containing a name and a country. Somehow I can not use the iso code in the company table, I am forced to use the auto-incrementing primary key. I am not able to set iso-code column as unique which would solve my issue.

---------------------------------

The app also has UI problems. E.g. when adding a new row, one the last field edited seems to be still in editing mode since the value is left-bound and not centered like the other values. Only after entering another field the value seems to be recognized as changed and I can save the data.

Clicking on "Swagger apis dock" results in following error message "Cannot GET /nc/testproject_rest_api_HZOx/v1/graphql".

---------------------------------

Having added a few images via attachment column, I noticed that I can access those from a incognito window where I am definitely not logged in.

Steps to reproduce:

1. connect to database container -> docker-compose exec --user postgres xcdb psql

2. connect to database -> \c xcdb

3. list tables -> \d

4. select data from the table with attachments (in my case the company table) -> select * from xa1__company;

5. copy one of the urls and paste it in an incognito tab

---------------------------------

Another issue that I see is that it relies a lot on external libraries, of which this one has been blocked by my ad-blocker --> https://static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-2297736.js?sv=6

Hotjar seems to be a tool tracking the user interactions with the product -> https://www.hotjar.com/

This is where I stopped evaluating your product LOL

---------------------------------

Clicking on Calendar, Kanban, and Form results in a "Coming soon" message. Which is curious since, your website demonstrates it already.

---------------------------------

Those rules saying delete cascade seem to be nonsense. I was able to delete rows in both tables (country, company) without any cascading happening which would result in an inconsistent state. --> Foreign keys seem only to exist within your applications metamodel and they don't seem to be respected accordingly.

---------------------------------

My final verdict: You have a lot of work ahead of you if you want to bring this into a production ready state. Until then I recommend to others not using it with your production databases, and because of coming with the hotjar user action tracking tool not use and privacy related data with it.
It's not just US. It's the whole western world, everywhere where modern market economy took hold. Look beyond the obvious cases, and you'll see it. For instance:

- I've already mentioned parents upthread. You can sell them any kind of crap if you even hint at some obscure danger to health or life of a newborn. Half of the market of products for parents/small children is based on that. The other half runs on a combination of FOMO, fear of being a bad parent (or being seen as one), and fear of your kid falling behind someone else's kid.

- Wedding market runs on insecurity. If you don't buy this or rent that, your wedding will not be perfect. It's once-in-a-lifetime thing, you can't settle for anything less than ideal. Don't mind the loan you'll have to take, paying back which will define the first few years of your marriage.

- Fear of cancer and cardiovascular diseases is what makes people shut down critical thinking and buy all kinds of bullshit. Organic food and fitness businesses are based mostly on that.

I could go on.

It looks like that it is the final straw to prove that Mozilla has completely lost its way...

For any startup or company it is normal to provide "premium" paid service and "advanced" content/knowledge to the subset of internet users that can afford it.

But ... this is the Mozilla foundation. Too much paid silicon valley executives transformed a structure dedicated to find funds to protect an "open internet" into a for profit structure that prostitute itself as much as needed to make money just for being profitable.

We saw it coming with Firefox evolution being neglected to instead waste money on numerous "outreachy" things.

Just for memo, here is one of the 10 points of the Mozilla manifesto:

"The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible"

Looks like that a "premium paywalled content website" will have a hard time pretending to be "open".
I don't think you ever worked on a large enough application to appreciate this complexity.
As far as institutional memory is concerned, new is anything that hasn't been seen in a couple generations' lifetimes, certainly not 1000s of years. This is also why I included "recently en vogue" in my prior comment, I'm not claiming that this thought process has literally never been seen before. Just that some cultural phenomena display a back and forth pattern, with a timescale such that it will feel entirely new to the current population when it's out in full force. Further, the negative impacts of the extreme adoption are precisely what will push the pendulum back eventually.

Also I will clarify I am speaking from a US-centric perspective. Are you not in the US?

I have seen multiple academic circles seriously come to the consensus that innocent until proven guilty is not good as a general principle. This sort of thing IME occurs on mailing lists or in department meetings, and it has also ramped up considerably in just the last few years. I've never looked for literature on the topic, perhaps the institutions I am affiliated with just suck. But given the many others reporting similar sentiments I suspect there will be some literature on it as a broader phenomenon, at least in the US, down the road.
Not really anymore but many phones had Jazelle capable processors in the mid 2000's:

Have you been part of any large migration? Even if you try to stay “cloud agnostic” (no using Terraform doesn’t count. Each provisioner is cloud specific), everything takes time at scale. Not to mention data migration costs, project management, regression testing, a company of any scale is probably still partially on prem and has all sorts of interconnecting network points with the cloud provider, IAM, etc.
This article is a bit silly, it reads like a university professor has discovered that business people promote and productize inventions more than they do original research and he's upset about it. R&D is almost always incremental and parallel. There will always be hindsight to say "this is just like something we invented previously (see Schmidhuber)", if that was true, where is your company that does this successfully?

There are lots of reasons to be sceptical of Elon Musk and his companies, but they are to in the article.
Could be as well, but as an aspiring childrens' book author, this just made me think there may be one more skill I will need to acquire.
That’s a valid point. I don’t want to argue pedantry but I’ll say I worked some media companies that experience 5x normal volumes a few times a year during events before returning to “normal”, making AWS an obvious choice.

I’ve also worked for a place so large in AWS we hit walls where we hit Amazon’s literal physical limit and had wait for them to go out and buy the hardware for us to provision.

For Dropbox specifically I don’t see them being any form of special case, if it saves money and they obviously had operational experience so it makes sense
I am firmly on team “anything but YAML” so perhaps I’ll give this a try next chance I get.
> and to get to the point where they could, they spend hundreds of hours of their time

However, this often results in videos that are unnecessary bloated to fulfil the requirements to place more ads, deceptive/misleading titles, or 10-minute-videos about something that could be explained in 30 seconds.
> If this wasn't Mozilla ...

They already disabled (private) extension support on the
Windows build
(you have to upload your extension to Mozilla servers) and they
completely disabled extension support on Firefox mobile (no, that small
list of approved extensions isn't enough). I'm not sure they care much
about their user base.
I worked many months making a couple of bank app accessible to visually impared people. Hard work. Luckly I had a team that would test every version until they could themselfs use the app correctly.

In the end I was so used to test apps in this mode,that I put a shortcut in my phone so I could used it with headphones while the phone was in my pocket in the subway, or while I'm driving so I don't take the eyes of the road.
This shit needs to be shut down. All it's doing is manufacturing a new normal for society to always be on edge and to encourage spying on their neighbors.
The rockefeller foundation is the 39th biggest foundation. Any search term and it will show something. I tried random terms such as "animal conservation" and "Sydney" and there were a dozen results.
Science is about building knowledge, so if climate change against all odds turns out to be false, it will be abandoned and the mechanism that is really behind the data will be the focus of further studies. There is no such thing as scientism but a bunch of different people who are competing for the best explanation of reality. The ability to predict is a very handy thing. Newtonian physics might not be 100% correct, but it makes damn good predictions that made our lives so much better.
My understanding is that that is often because doctors fail to educate them sufficiently on the cons. The recovery from a C-section is worse, the outcomes are worse for both mother and child, future children are likely to be more difficult. There's not much reason to recommend an elect C-section in most cases (certainly not 33% of cases) except that the doctors get to bill for it.
Not all opinions deserve equal airtime. Fringe opinions should have to work harder to get to the mainstream. Isn’t that exactly what happened here? This is the fringe opinion that had the most inherent value and it’s proved that by breaking through. IMO I wish the platforms had censored more bad info than this. It’s crazy to me that there isn’t more friction for bad ideas.
> that other parents are making racist decisions hiding under a guise of choosing to move for safety

In the context of this thread, which is about whether people leave cities under the guise of doing so for safety to excuse the real underlying reasons of racism, this answer isn't that satisfactory.

It's the reverse of "I have a black friend". It's "I was scared of white people too". Obviously only you can know the true reasons, but please don't think that just because you made a decision for one set of circumstances that no one made the choice for other reasons.

Instead of relying on anecdotes you can look at the data which shows that white people do leave areas in cities with more black people in them. The data is not described by pure economics. The evidence is that some people are making the conscious or unconscious decision to racially segregate.
I am not sure this makes sense. Shouldn't Klarna provide proof of the transaction to the court? Won't the court look at it and throw it out as baseless?
If Klarna were actually on the hook for their own money, it wold only have to happen a few times before they realize it's not worth it. edit: definitely not a finnish lawyer
I have managed multiple research organizations, in businesses and academia.

Without a goal and process the institute will be a failure. It will fail to produce interesting results. It will fail to attract and grow talent. And it will fail to do well by the researchers who you are hoping to benefit.

In my own opinion, the best goal is something that you can derive a market signal for. For DeepMind, this was video game playing. For Paul Allen Institute, it is the ability to spin-off bets. If you try and sell something, you get a clear opinion of its value.

The process is also important. For a research institute, my suggestion is a periodic public interaction. There are many ways of garnering this; self-publishing reports, publishing in journals and conferences, attending (or better yet holding) conferences, increasing funding from public events, or seeking out collaborations with other institutions.
I enjoy Winnie the Pooh as much today as when I was 6. But for different reasons. Today I enjoy the sly humor in it.

It takes real talent to appeal to both young and old. The early Spongebob cartoons were like that, Bugs Bunny, and the early seasons of The Simpsons
Qliro has that too, which I know since somebody bought shoes with my SSN. I don't know if it's a general feature or if you have to contact them, but the functionality is implemented at least.
JSON can't express ordering or duplicate fields in a consistent way.

Consider how you'd write these 2 bits of XML in JSON:

<A><B>foo</B><C>bar</C></A>

vs.

<A><B>too</B><C>bar</C><B>uh oh</B></A>

Without a schema, in the first case, how do you determine whether B should be "foo" or ["foo"]? In the second how do you preserve the relative ordering of B #1, C and B #2?

I worked on a project where we had a parse tree that we wanted to serialize out, and for this reason XML was the natural choice.
Kinda off topic but I'm curious, what's the proper strategy to adopt as a company when someone copies your product and distribute it legally for free? Do nothing (individuals & small companies that are going to self host the product were never your market anyway)? Offer a self-hosted plan too? Obviously it depends for each company. I wonder if there are companies who famously changed their offer following the release of a free/self-hosted/open-source competing product.
