If you're dealing with files that small then JSON is a great solution.

In the past I've used CSV to handle files that are several GB after being compressed and encrypted. Formats such as JSON would have added a lot more to the total file size.

Specializing in anything is good if you have 5+ years of exp IMO. It's always good to stand out from the crowd of generic developers.

The other plus is, if you frame yourself as a specialist in X, it might be easier to explain not knowing Y. You can't simply know everything, especially if you invest heavily in specializing in other things.

Personally I've been a web performance (i.e. mostly JavaScript/HTML) guy lately and it's been fun. There's a million of React devs in the world, but only a few dozen web perf guys with web presence (Twitter / blogs), and I almost know all of them by name at this point.

Of course it depends what you want to do. Typically it's big corps who look for specialists. Small companies prefer generalists.

Deflationary currency would be a nightmare because some cohort would become very wealthy? I am not sure those two thoughts are connected.

Deflation is not a bad thing for the end consumer. Our purchasing power should be going up over time as advancements/efficiencies in technology, shipping, healthcare create more for less.

Deflation is "bad" in our current system because we have so much debt that isn't backed by much collateral. Interest rates rise putting a hold on businesses that don't produce much and creates an endless domino effect

It is not about the count of people, it is about the diversity that creates problems. 1B people with same religious, ethnic background would do well. Compare that to 1B with hundreds of languages, tens of castes, and at least 10 religions on the other hand are bound to face problems.

It could actually be argued that India has no business being a one country, should have been a union of countries a la the EU.

Some of the most memorable SCOTUS cases had less than noble test cases (ever hear of Miranda rights? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_v._Arizona). SCOTUS isn't deciding if the defendant is a dirt bag or not, just if the very specific law is valid/applied correctly
Depending on how you setup networking for a docker container, you may see a notable network performance hit. Also, I've seen frustrating issues with the default docker bridge network that didn't play well with other services on our network, forcing us to switch to the "host" networking. The extra complexity & problems added by using a container solution may not give a positive ROI, even if the container abstraction provides more flexibility.

I definitely do not support excluding or discriminating against Chinese users, a practice which is a big problem on HN. I'm just saying that, just as a significant subset of USA users are likely to flag posts that encourage people to burn American flags or claim that the USA is a "white-supremacist state", and a significant subset of Muslim users are likely to flag posts that criticize Muhammad, there's a significant subset of Chinese users who are likely to flag posts that criticize the Chinese Communist Party, even if it's implicit criticism by way of calling attention to particular historical events that its opponents commonly use as rallying points.

My recent comments on China include:

We absolutely have evidence that Joe Biden is not a pod person (just not absolutely "proof"). No one has ever demonstrated the existence of pod people (assuming that by "pod person" you mean 1950's-esque scifi comics pod people), and we've seen lots of evidence that Joe Biden is a human. Since we know humans exist, but we don't have any reason to believe that pod people exists, that does serve as evidence that Joe Biden is not a pod person.

I think this story about the rat and what it did is cool, it makes me happy, but I do agree with OP that the language of the story misrepresents the reality of the situation.

If I was given total control over your life and made you work for me, would you be ok with that so long as, according to me, I treated you well enough? I doubt it.

That isn’t the point though. This is not a debate about whether anyone thinks the rat is being treated well.

The rat did not consent to this (because it can’t), so this is, factually, forced labor. I am ok with it in this situation, but let’s call it what it is and express gratitude for what the rat did to clean up human messes.

Second, you can’t do something heroically if you either 1) don’t know what you are doing and what the risks are or 2) there are no risks. Take your pick, but either way it isn’t heroic. The rat did a great thing for us but hero is not the right word.
Sleep Adventure Game
"even planet-killer tech isn't an extinction-level event."

We're talking about probabilities.

You're right that a civilization that has violent tendencies may not self-destruct since it may turn out that the destructive potential of future technology is confined to the capacity of city-scale destruction instead of solar-system-scale destruction. Or they may escape their host planet quickly and diversify before nukes or whatever comes after nukes wipes them out.

But it seems to me that the probability of extinction is non-trivially positively correlated with violent and tribal tendencies once that civilization reaches our stage of development. And so that nudges the odds towards an advanced alien civilization being peaceful.

"Over thousands, or millions of years"

Yeah, over a million years, which is not much on cosmic timescales. If FTL travel isn't possible, it'll take many millions of years to go anywhere.

I believe it won't end up as a vestigial organ and will be actively selected against. Tribal conflict has a positive reward to the victor in a resource constrained environment but is negative sum over both parties. Without the payoff to the victor then all we are left with is a negative sum outcome which should be selected against. The only thing I'm not sure of is tribal conflict over reproductive capital, although I can imagine that technology could make that abundant as well.
It's because the search query is blocked.

I think the more surprising thing is that it only effects the Image search results, and not the web search results.

I checked the Video results, and Videos also appear blocked.

It's possible that Image and Video search utilize the same word-filter list, and for some reason web-searches use a different list.
The reality is just the opposite. Even a cursory examination of the news will show a torrent of anti-China coverage (and attendant changes in public sentiment toward China) which just happens to coincide with a US campaign to "confront China" in "great-power conflict." The idea that China is controlling this discourse is risible.
This is probably related to Bing not showing results because, as far as I know, DuckDuckGo uses Bing as its underlying search engine. I’ve always chuckled at this from the Apple and Linux users railing against Microsoft but then they use DuckDuckGo.

Interestingly, Bing shows plenty of relevant search results for their web results, including images, but doesn’t show results for an image search.
Just checked - you're right!

At first I thought it was because safe search was enabled, but disabling it gives the same results (zero).

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tank+man&t=h_&iar=images&iax=image...

Their regular web search shows no evident censorship though. Why is this? Does DuckDuckGo rely on a third party for image search that is itself censoring results?
Why wouldn't it be a valid alternative? There's nothing stopping the audience from seeing your content off-platform if they so wish.

I think you make a good point here:

* Copying formatting works well and is desired when it is done within an app but it is janky and undesired when the apps are different.

I furiously hates copying/pasting of formatting. After reflecting, the problems all exist when I'm pasting from one app to another.

I just think out of the apps I use, the ones where paste with formatting is the default (eg it's what CMD+V does) are the ones where I'm usually pasting from somewhere else.
This x1000. I started implementing a JVM for shits and giggles a while ago, and once I had laid out ~220 panics for each opcode, it was incredibly satisfying to implement them one at a time to work towards bootstrapping the standard library.

Granted, most opcodes are implemented incorrectly as minor things like method and field resolution aren’t quite there yet.. as soon as I’ve implemented enough opcodes to actually run something and return/exit/throw, the correctness will be a bugger to fix :^)
Looking at how it turns out in Russia and middle east post-Arab Spring, I heavily doubt it.

How to best qualify for a “FAANG” Job?
Hey everyone I am currently a senior computer engineering major and I was wondering what it would take for me to qualify for a FAANG job out somewhere in California or Texas? My Computer Engineering-specialization G.P.A is sitting at a 3.16 and I plan on starting a coding project soon to help build my resume. As kind of a brief background of myself, in high school I was never really good at mathematics or STEM for that matter but in college I decided to turn that around for myself by actively becoming aware to what I am learning and learn to enjoy how to learn. Would developing this characteristic about myself by doing projects be sufficient enough to land a high quality job? I would be open to hear suggestions on how to improve myself to increase my chances at landing a job I would love.

“Total breeze” is probably an overstatement given the culture differences between the military and civilian worlds, but otherwise I agree.

That is a good point, but we might also end up with yet another layer of criminal organization: "dark exchanges" that allow victims of cybercrime to get cryptocurrency without interacting with the legal financial system. While I would rather that ransoms not be paid at all, if a ransom has to be paid, I'd much rather the company get their cash in a legitimate manner, interacting with financial entities that cooperate with law enforcement, rather than via fences and money launderers.

Humour aside, I don't think this is accurate.

China should have shut down international flights. Instead they shut down internal travel and happily exported the virus to the world. They have lost the last bit of good will I had for them and I suspect this is a sentiment shared the world over. The WHO are also complicit.

Assuming the trips made stay the same (probably a reasonable assumption, but who knows?), it would increase the number of cars on the road, but not necessarily congestion. Road capacity goes down if cars move at varying speeds, as happens when traffic has to stop for cars making left turns.
Same result at Yahoo! - no images.
> I feel like you're purposefully conflating terms here.

Not at all. But go ahead and believe those fuzzy blobs (pictures of UFOs are somehow always fuzzy blobs) are aliens if you like.

Do you know why the UFO pictures are always fuzzy blobs? Because if they were clear pictures, we'd recognize they are birds/balloons/drones/Venus/whatever.
Not really. The government is more of a system that's run by people. The government doesn't change much even if all the people running it change.

Welp, dang has commented on this post and it's still flagged. Per the guidelines:

Is it therefore the case that the Moderators consider this flagging to be fair?
When you've spent millions and years promoting a brand ID, you don't change it just because ownership changed. (Another example: If I understand correctly, General Electric doesn't have anything to do with GE-branded light bulbs. They sold the business. But the buyer wanted more than the factory and the distribution arrangements, they wanted the name that people recognized.)

I don't disagree with that, hence why I made it clear from the get-go that I don't think they're aliens (I think it's probably most likely camera artifacts or experimental aircrafts or bad reporting, since we know all these things exists already).

I just feel like it's extremely reductive to say "can't prove a negative," for which I provided a counter example.

That's not what I said, is it? It would be great if you happen to have a bunch of Bitcoins. For everyone else it would be a nightmare because it would encourage disinvestment. Why take a risk when you can literally just sit on your money? Loans would also become pretty much unfeasible both for business purposes and for consumers (hope you can buy a house with cash).
Elijah Miller’s NEC v30 on a Pi hat
That has nothing to do with what I said. Maybe those discussions aren't "visible" to you because they don't exactly make headlines and you're disinclined to look any harder. Unless you're in a position to be sure you'd be privy to any such discussions in the places where they'd matter then it's an assumption that they're not happening. Getting all caustic at someone for not sharing your own unfounded assumption is pretty poor form, to put it politely.
Yeah, there are two things going on here:

1) Some queries are blocked. This results in "Nothing found", even when there obviously are images...

2) Some images are blocked. If you use a query that bypasses the word-filter, some images are still removed from the result list anyway.

It's very clear that what we're seeing is the Chinese results for Bing, but everywhere in the world...
