Yes, Xmysql was a hobby project originally submitted on HN. Below is the gist of it.

We open sourced two API solutions before NocoDB :
- A no-code REST APIs generator for any MySQL DB. ~200,000 Docker pulls. This was a hobby project & had no GUI.
- A low-code REST-GraphQL APIs generator for any database with GUI. Used by 100s of companies. Including fortune 500s & publicly trading companies.

The thing that surprised us the most was that even non-developers started using our API products & rooting for us. Whilst everybody loved instant API access to databases, it was slow-and-painful for them to build UI and collaborate with their teams. This made us to radically recombine the power of our 2 API products then transform them into something better.
With the kind of git workflow you describe, bringing StGit into your tooling/workflow may not be worthwhile.

I'd say if you wanted to do these kinds of stack manipulations a little bit faster or with a little less cognitive overhead (e.g. named patches vs SHA1 hashes), then investing in StGit might pay off.

I generally would agree that using StGit isn't going to be a slam-dunk win for someone who already has a capable workflow using interactive git rebase.
I've heard her say some form of it in various interviews, but here is one I just found: https://youtu.be/82AiU5ZGXf4?t=32

> She wrote about cultures the reader didn't know

I'm not sure that's true, although it ended up being the case for many of her readers. She always was very explicit in saying that she wrote for Black people, without thinking of the white gaze.

I think the problem is largely that people of color don't get to tell the stories in the first place. Or if they do, they end up writing about white people or have to write their ancestral traumas in order to get published. The outrage comes because some white guy got $500k for that story of a Mexican waitress, when actual Latinx people aren't getting published, not the actual "writing what you don't know". Although yes, of course, you better do your research if you're doing that. I recently read Tar Baby, one of the few of her books I hadn't gotten to, and I was never mad at her for embodying the white characters the way she did.

My partner is a writer here in NYC, a woman of color, on a "major label", and it's devastating to see white editors just say things like "I didn't know how to connect to these characters" because they've literally never thought about a Bangladeshi person before. There's a lot that needs to change, but from a purely artistic point of view I find nothing wrong with writing what you don't know.
Yeah but for me, playing around with SHA1 is a pain. So if I can simplify that, I am all for it.

It's a form of coping. It has to be. I refuse to believe self-proclaimed smart people of HN refuse to acknowledge science that has been reviewed time and time again for decades now out of... what? ignorance? ideology?

Instead I think it's a coping mechanism. "There's nothing I can do about it because the problem is so large so I'd rather act like it doesn't exist."

Just a theory.
Those benchmarks measure performance increase rather than performance overall. M1 isn't necessarily doing "worse" as much as it just didn't see as much of an improvement as the others.
Right--and part of the epistemic closure that they're in is that they have been repeatedly and consistently exposed to memes that enable that kind of whataboutism. Often they're so detached from any sort of objective reality that they will bring even a prepared and knowledgeable speaker to a halt because the only response is "what are you even talking about?".

This is the crux of the ideological problem we're facing: one "side" might be wrong and one "side" makes shit up and the equivalence has been drawn into the mushy middle's brains that pulling people out of the muck requires probably more time and effort than any one person can manage.
The video I posted is about using category theory and lattice-based concept hierarchies for understanding causality.

Breaking down a problem into it's relevant components and understanding how they interact is the right way to come to a simple explanation.

This is in contrast to "simple explanations" which are merely short, but not correct.
That isnt the only alternative. A state run free market like china would actually be really useful for this global problem, if of course climate change was the priority for the government.

lack of personal freedom and ease of abuse probably make this a terrible choice, but it would without a doubt be better for climate change than currently
How to manage team productivity and motivation while working from home?
We switched to WFH last year and now on a 50% WFH policy. However, I have noticed that team productivity has went down quite drastically and most productive days are those when the guys are physically in the office.

I would like to know how others on HN are managing their remote tech teams? How do you keep them motivated and disciplined? How to raise communication and productivity levels while keeping procrastination and slacking at low?

Any tools or methodologies that can help with this?
This comes across as "If you haven't read every word of all the terms of use, privacy policy, and any other legal documents of not only the initial company you interacted with, but of all their second party companies, and their services, and their services, until you've researched the entire chain of partners who could potentially have something to do with your transaction, then you are obviously complicit in everything all those companies chose to do and you have no grounds for complaint."

While you may be literally true, the reality of this economic situation is full of far more gray area than you allow for.

If this confrontational, extrermist position is intended to try and wake people up to all this, I fear your message is outweighed by your snark.

And if you don't care about that, then I've wasted as much of my breath as you have yours.
"World now likely to hit 1.5 °C rise above pre-industrial levels in five years" fits.

Well, it mislead me, initially.
So I would say that it's currently "technically" a paid-for app. It seems like they are doing something like Sublime with a "nagware" approach. I have been using it since it was free and haven't actually needed to pay for it yet. Having said that I will probably pay soon anyway because it is such a valuable tool for me.

As for using Fork vs other apps, I used to use SourceTree before Fork. Fork is my favorite right now because it is less opinionated and really just exposes the Git functionality directly. For example SourceTree made it impossible to force-push because they didn't believe you ever should.

There is another class of app for Git that is like a subset or overlay, like the way GitHub desktop uses "sync" instead of real Git terms. I remember Tower also felt like it was trying to make me see things the way it wanted me to and not the way Git worked but I can't remember the details.
> HN, the not-social media, does not even have a concept of likes.

Call em what you want, but upvotes/downvotes are in the same sphere as likes. Being downvoted into oblivion has the same mental effect as no likes or dislikes on other platforms, despite not being a 1:1 algorithm (1 upvote on HN does not necessarily equate to +1 in your karma) and even if you're the only one that can see them.

You could build an app that keeps your id in Javascript variables but people usually expect to be able to use a web site with multiple browser windows simultaneously.
Most were peer-reviewed. Especially the ozone part.
Because the session with the website still exists, your browser still has cookies saying it's valid. If you reopen the closed tab the session is likely still there.

Logging out of a site specifically invalidates the session.
No offense, but that's such a weird way of looking at it. Even in the US every reasonable adult would say that driving on public roads is free, right? But roads are maintained from taxes so how dare you call them free!!! It's the same thing here - other countries just pay for their citizens giving birth from taxes. The cost to you as a citizen is zero. No it's not free, someone pays for it. But I never used the word free anywhere, so I feel like you want to have an argument for the argument sake.
I guess we've decided that temperatures in 1850 were the perfect temperatures, and we're going to stick with them. If humans continue to live in a peaceful and technological world over thousands or millions of years, the natural climate ups and downs will seem to be suddenly forced into an unnaturally straight line, starting somewhere around now, due to everyone being unwilling to allow change.
Rephrasing: the speed, and write endurance were sufficiently jaw dropping enough to beat flash's density, and cost.
Sea rise is not the only effect of climate change, and the gradual rise won't be as urgent as extreme weather floods and storms episodes.

You will have also wet bulb temperature episodes, not all time, but more frequently and in bigger areas as time advances. And won't matter if the average temperature is not so high yet, once you get such peaks people (and maybe crops->famines) die.

And last but not least, this fuels positive feedback mechanisms, like less ice reflecting sunlight, more methane released in northern regions, more frequent forest fires and so on that accelerate an already pretty bad trend.

If you think it will cost a lot to try to do something about this, think how costly will be doing nothing.

Pretty nice. I know the hydrology of my area pretty well. I'm not sure if they're using USGS hydrology maps because a water droplet on either side of two water sheds flows to the nearest river by distance, not how things actually flow, but it's pretty close.
This is just Herodotus' account. I don't see any new evidence here.
Very cool, that's a decent performance bump.

It'd be nice to have some simple benchmarks that directly compare ignition, sparkplug and turbofan (and full-codegen too). And also time spent compiling.

It looks somewhat similar to context threading as I remember it:

Do you know what moisture level sets it off? I didn't even think about that - it's easy to take Southern California's weather for granted. Here it's either pretty much ready from the lumberyard or you got it right off the mill's truck so it has to sit for a few days/weeks.

The lobbying is off putting, yes, but at least his greedy self-interest would do some actual good instead of extracting evermore capital from everyone. Powertools inhabit this uncanny valley of dangerous equipment where they're cheap and accessible enough to the average joe (compared to CNC machining centers or forklifts or whatever) yet powerful enough to do some real damage. My understanding is that the primary reason the major manufacturers didn't want the SawStop wasn't cost but the fear that it would expose them to more liability by making the tools seem less dangerous. I really wish it achieves mass adoption so that the price drops even further.
Someone on /r/BudgetAudiophile/ posted that they'd picked up a Tivoli Audio Model One, and in the comments, someone mentioned the "KLH 21". I'd never heard of that, so I searched for it on DDG and a page on this site was the first result:

https://antiqueradio.org/KLHModelTwentyOne21FMRadio.htm

Somewhat related: A few weeks back, I watched The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. The movie features a pretty unique looking turntable in several scenes. It took me a little while to track down that it's a Braun Audio 310[1][2]. I think I found it by doing an image search for "turntable record player 1970 Germany" or some such and then just started scrolling through image after image of record player. It turns out its a turntable and radio combination.

Things are looking bleak even if we are able to get to complete zero emissions, let alone 50%. Sure, first world countries have chucked a few solar panels and windmills around, but that's a drop in the bucket.
I guess it's not obvious that answers with information are mostly adjective or preposition words are poor answer to engineering questions, because engineers are looking for (relatively) precise answers.

For example:
* What is bottom? Did it means one of the pictures in the bottom page. Or the absolute bottom.

* What if the picture was not at the bottom, instead, it was followed by large chunk of texts?

* What deisng doc? Was it mentioned in the parent post, or was
it a "well known" design doc?

* Design doc for which topic? Turbofan/Craneshaft/etc? (This is nitpicking, but still happen often because one might found this as the first sight, not following the thread. Again, reading answers for engineers are also a skill, quite different from reading, for example, science fiction, another day another topic)

* What does the figure explain? What if the figure shows something that not match my concept of the question?

In the end, answering engineering question, should be, and have to be, stating accurate facts. If and how that actually answers the question, is more depending on the readers and questioner's continued communication.

Edit: To make sure I was not leaving wrong impression, those questions I listed above was encountered everyday for the answers I received. It's not nitpicking. You can read this thread for an example how answers without concrete information being inappropriate engineering answers.
Garbage Collection in Erlang Helps Create Scalable Applications (2020)
I think a fairer comparison would be 1 DDR channel to one SSD, or comparing the 8 channels to a multi-SSD striped RAID array. SSDs are ~7GB/sec, so I would say that SSD bandwidth is roughly within one or two orders of magnitude slower than RAM. I certainly wouldn't want to replace an app optimized to use all the RAM on a machine with one running on a lower-RAM SSD machine, though.
The advertisement text is-- "If you're seeing bitcoin on the [London] Underground, it's time to buy."

Which begs the question, when is the time to sell? When you stop seeing it on the Underground (now?).

Best of Courier at Hackabull 2021: Speed Friender
The Shahnameh is a good start. IIRC there's a high quality bilingual (English and Persian) version of it, with drawings and all. If you prefer it in podcast version, Mazandercast [1] spends a few minutes of each episode to narrate it. The rest of the episode is spent explaining traditions, festivities, etc. A good podcast if you're interested in overall Persian culture and history.

Of course another good book is "One Thousand and One Nights".

DRAM Alternative Developed: 4X Higher Density at Higher Speed and Lower Power
I'm not necessarily worried about climate change per se. It will result in hardship for many, for sure. Temperature changes will render some areas uninhabitable, it will cause mass migration, and probably destabilize the world politically.

What am more worried about is the direct wholesale destruction of the biosphere. There are absolutely bonkers numbers about extinction, ocean acidification, runaway permafrost melt that actually could choke out a majority of people.

Worse still, these effects aren't easily solvable by stopping emissions, or blocking out the sun with mylar sheets, or any of the "low hanging" technological fruit -- the stuff that could be solved with today's space technology or electric car tech.

In order to actually solve these "deeper" problems, we will need an absolutely massive bio-engineering effort that is probably only possible with some kind of entropic breakthrough.

Evolution is basically hyper-organization, a point of locally super low entropy that only happens by hundreds of millions of years of energy expenditure. When a species dies, it's not those individuals, it's every one of those individuals that ever lived that dies. All that concentration of local entropy, destroyed forever. It's like using every GPU on planet earth to train a hyper-smart GPT-4, for many human lifetimes -- and then hitting rm -rf on the weights.
"An engineer was assigned"

Nope. That definitely wasn't an engineer.
The ArXiv timestamp/paper is public, so even if the conference doesn't do the right thing, you should still be able to submit it elsewhere.
HN is preventing me from directly submitting this link, so I'll add it here. I think it's a good summary of how the lab-leak hypothesis has been mishandled by the media:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/27/briefing/lab-leak-theory-...
There's another important aspect to chaos. As you increase the energy in the system, which this is, you're also increasing the range over which phenomena can happen.

You cite 'tornadoes 10, 20, 50% more frequent' and you're not wrong, but it's very important to understand we're also looking at tornadoes and droughts and hurricanes (events tied to the behavior of the chaotic system of the climate) two, five, ten times more INTENSE than we're used to.

Chaos does this. The wildest outliers are tied to how much energy is in the system. They may be no more common than before, but the increased energy and increased chaos can produce wilder variances from the norm.

With regard to specifically destructive events like tornadoes, hurricanes, storm flooding and so on, this is way more dramatic than sea level rise. Nothing we can do, even with nuclear weapons, is as powerful as what weather can do with the energy in that chaotic system… because it's way, way bigger than anything we have at our command.

The truth also brings sudden shocks. We've just not quite wrapped our head around where those are coming from, and the frequency of 'em is probably no more common than usual, but the potential intensity of these events is ramping up with the same slow build you mention. We just don't see it until it hits.

One example: I think it's very likely there are industrialized cities that would not stand against hyper-weather of this nature. We're not used to the idea of tornadoes and hurricanes ripping down tall buildings, but we will live to see the theoretical peak energy (the ten or hundred-year storm) go beyond what our cities are designed to withstand. When that happens, we suddenly have areas where ALL the skyscrapers were toppled, on a weather-event scale rather than a terrorist-act scale.

The protected arithmetic rules in Beads are mostly a copy of the proven-to-be-useful protected arithmetic of Excel. Instead of using #UNDEF and #ERROR, those 2 meta values, are abbreviated U and ERR in Beads.

```
3 * ERR yields ERR
3 * U yields U (3 times undefined yields an undefined value)
```

The mathematical truth tables are in the appendix of the reference manual.

It is quite useful in a language to have a universal bottom value (undefined) and a universal top value (error). The key point is to avoid undefined behavior

Somewhat (or possibly greatly) related:

Are tools like git-absorb safe/reliable? Git-absorb is a port of hg absorb:

"Essentially, when your working directory has uncommitted changes on top of draft changesets, you can run `hg absorb` and the uncommitted modifications are automagically folded ("absorbed") into the appropriate draft ancestor changesets. This is essentially doing `hg histedit` + "roll" actions without having to make a commit or manually make history modification rules."

I haven't (yet) wrapped my head around the algorithm. I get that an algorithm can "recollate" a series of commits in a way that yields no commit conflicts, but that's not the same as rearranging and combining commits into a sequence of semantically coherent atomic commits.

The Reddit redesign is far and away the most sluggish, unresponsive major site I've ever used. It brings my fancy $3,000 laptop to its knees.

The sad thing is, the front end stack they use (React/Redux) is great. But it's an abysmal example of the tech. I turned on re-renders in the React devtools, and this is what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/Sm1U24M.gifv
