Its so fast now, we're killing 50 billion chickens per year to eat. 136 million per day. 1585 per second. More than 1 chicken per millisecond. Start the stopwatch on your phone and watch those milliseconds fly by. Living breathing creatures raised in tiny cages and never seeing the sky or scratching dirt with their feet.
No, but I can understand how someone committed to being an ideologue might pretend to think that. Just turn your brain off and pretend you're carrying that cross.

I mean, a kind of well known thing is that in general, something false can be more interesting than something true, since it has more degrees of freedom. You can make up anything you want - the truth has to conform to what's actually real.

> Low risk -> that paper's definition of "safety" is whether people had good eyesight. It doesn't take into account halos or dry eyes, as far as I can tell.

Yes, it was a quick search on my phone. I just remember doing a ton of research for it before I got mine done years ago. I know 6 others who got it done too around when I did, and everyone claims it was well worth it.

I just figured it has been around so long and performed so much, that there would be a lot of people claiming issues and it would show up by now.
> Yes, I will dismiss the work of Thompson Brown based on the Wikipedia criticism section which has multiple convincing reasons to dismiss it and neither the Wikipedia page, nor you, have given any convincing reasons to think otherwise. Is that unreasonable of me?

Like I need to be your paralegal and go find you evidence. I left the breadcrumbs. Go find out the rest and share what else you find out. it's not about give me the evidence or I'll dismiss it.

.. As for the comments regarding known phenomenon. I don't dismiss that. In fact even as an eyewitness of an object that moved in incredibly erratic directions I am interested to find out if these all can be explained by advanced projections: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27405291

But saying that knowing what I know, I cannot take the comments such as bokeh effects or camera glitches seriously because the actual accounts from the Navy pilots track so closely to exactly what I witnessed. If your interested to learn more about that than read through my past comments.

I'm not a scientist and not qualified to comment on the particulars of this patent. But clearly it was postulated on by the scientific community. And if you want to dismiss that argument with .. well you can get a patent for anything.. that's actually not true.

Yes, this is a very important insight! I think the author proposes this approach as replacement for regular schema migrations, whilst both approaches complement one another.

You can use views to make migrations that were previously tricky zero-downtime.

If that's not the case, then I mist've read the article wrong!

Edit: although when I think of it - if you want to eventually materialize old migration schemas into the base schema, you need to do the rename, too. Which is not zero-downtime because of new migration schemas that do the renaming automatically. Meaning changing views' definition, meaning lots of locking.

So, you still need maintenance windows to merge all the changes. Just not on every change. Otherwise the base schema will then eventually be completely out of sync and contain tons of old, unused columns.

I can confirm this - last year I had to deal with Redwood City PD because my 11 year old daughter was playing after school on the playground (which is, amazingly, not allowed in CA?!). I stood my ground, but the incident involved the police department and meetings with the principal before it was resolved. California is doing a good job of driving the liberal right out of me.

> I happen to believe that the future of AI requires a specialized notation. I can't put my finger on what this means at this time. This might be a worthwhile pursuit at a future time, if I ever retire (I can't even think about what that means...I love what I do).

I also share this opinion and I might know what you mean. A lot of breakthroughs in physics are due to new notation – e.g. Maxwell's equations, Einstein notation, etc. Or to be precise, it is easier to think new thought in notation/language that is suited for it.

Current machine learning is a 90:10 blend of empirical stuff followed by delayed theory. A language for theory-based ML is math with paper and pencil. However language for empirical experiments are PyTorch, Tensorflow, JAX, DEX, Julia, Swift, R, etc. Former is "dead" historical language, latter are notations for differentiable computational graphs that can be run on modern HW accelerators. If you look at what have those programming languages in common is that they were all influenced by APL. And funny enough, machine learning is the best use case for APL, but practically non-existent. APL should be reborn as differentiable tensor-oriented notation. That would be wild – prototyping new ML architectures at the speed of thought.

Anyway, another angle for APL + ML is an alternative interface – write APL with pencil on paper that understands your handwriting and evaluates your APL scribbles. [0] I committed myself to provide a BQN [1] with such interface and see where it leads.

Ideally, the best outcome would be the combination of both approaches.

Warnings about processed meat fail the test of science
For me (author of the post) it's because software industry is ridiculous when compared to other industries. Rank-and-file US software employees making more than US congress members, one of the highest political offices in the nation. Of course the congress members probably have lots of stuff on the side that only comes to fruition after office so their total long-term earnings probably dwarf the rank-and-file compensation but nonetheless it's a useful comparison.

Good question, the idea in the post is once you know who the user is you make sure they load a page with a unique identifier on it that you can use to identify them.

As an example, think of a Shopify check out flow. Every user has a unique checkout url. Once they purchase you can use that checkout ID in your warehouse to join with the page view that had the anonymous Id on it. So you’ll have a page view with the anonymous Id with a url with a unique checkout Id that you can use to join to the ultimate identified user (assuming all your page view and Shopify data are in one place, your data warehouse).

Let me know if I understood your question!

I think the word fanatic is justified, but I see that it has derogatory connotations. Let's put it this way, the Japanese military, soldiers, sailors and officers, all provided their extreme courage and devotion numerous times over in that war. Courage and devotion to a horrible cause, but nonetheless they certainly weren't quitters.

Another example: 21,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima, but only 216 taken as prisoners. They fought for five weeks until the bitter end. The stubborn defiance demonstrated at the Battle of Iwo Jima and Operation Ten-Go both played a role in the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan.
Perhaps the idea is to reduce the size of the worlds military industrial complex by more than 2%, and boom, you have Bitcoin offset. Is reducing the military carbon footprint delusional? (I'll answer that, it probably is :/ ).

The input changing shouldn't matter. Maybe you could see a performance issue if you had to parse a really large file/files. The issue would be if the grammar to what you are parsing changes. If that changes, then no parser will work, correctly until it supports the new grammar.

As a practical matter the grammar can act like a contract between the two systems. You don't have control of the input, but the input must follow the same grammar.

Given MB's level of investment in Racket and its community, you'd expect that it would have been addressed in January, when he told the Racket team he was out. Whatever you think about Felleisen it seems pretty likely that he was aware before now and had already made up his mind not to address it.
It's their decision what to do with their bodies, absolutely, but then why should everyone be forced to accept their view of themselves as an objective fact? I don't doubt that in the vast majority of cases their view is sincere and sound- but shouldn't this judgement be left to those who know them rather than being imposed?
One of the testing documents describes the problems they had with corrosion, so it was a genuine problem. Part of the solution was more air conditioning, and the other part was making the units more resistant to humidity. Keep in mind that they were on the Florida coast, so there was a lot of humidity and salt.
Thank you for your reply.

I completely understand the support part - I have been in IT for 25+ years so this word hits close home.

I would also be interested in a service for technically apt users, but what I was trying to say is that having some basic information upfront, understandable by someone who know how to configure mail, would have been enough.

Something like "you pay XX€, you set the MX on your DNS to point to us (maximum XX domains), for each domain your have YY standalone accounts, and each can have ZZ aliases. You can have aliases cross-domains (or not)".

The kind of basic information that would immediately show what your service is, especially when there were so many people recommending it.

I am also all for the community approach, it is just that there is no (obvious at least) way to create an account (I was even ready to use LinkedIn for that but it was rejected).

To be completely honest, I did not go though all the docs before my first comment. I did it now and still could not find the information above :) (but maybe I did not look at the right page)

I've heard similar arguments. One aspect brought up was that crypto money is "impossible to steal".

I argued that the old pipe wrench is so effective that after a practical example the threat of the old pipe wrench is enough to break any cryptography whose key is known by a pipe-wrenchable individual.

At that point, the individual needs his/her own pipe wrench.

And it is usually a good idea to aggregate with trusted others to pool resources and get a bigger, stronger pipe wrench.

Which is the military.

I did not get a response other than that my reasoning is flawed and oversimplifies the issue. Which, tbh, it definitely does
I don't understand why the desire to make money from one's work is correlated with how bullshit the work is. It's not. Desire to make money is only sometimes associated with with bullshit (but we tend to remember it more because it leaves a bad taste). If that was not the case any capitalistic society would have never worked at all to begin with.

FreeBSD introduced Jails in 1999.

I used my first Jail in 2001.

Docker was started over a decade later in 2013.

It’s reasonable to be confused why Jails lacks the mindshare. “Because it lacks all these other over-the-top features that we need” might be reasonable in response, except that Docker didn’t have any of these things on day 0 either.

Jails had a 14 year head start, Docker reinvents the wheel, and nor particularly well at first. Why did it succeed more than Jails did? It wasn’t because of the piss-poor native Mac support.

I agree wholeheartedly. My life dream is to build a car-free city in the US so I can live there. When I was young and even more naive I hoped I could do this before having kids, so they could grow up with that freedom. Now I’m hoping maybe I can do this by the time I have grandchildren. We’ll see.

It would require a lot of capital in the form of patient equity to pull off.

I gave up on chicken years before I went vegie. They we treat these creatures is disgraceful and disgusting.

Now, I am not the type to advertise my diet unless it comes up at lunch with people who don't know me or something like that. But I am not ashamed to share that cultured meat is something I've been looking forward to with great interest for all sorts of reasons.

Do what usually happens is there's at least one person to point how unnatural cultured meat sounds and that I will never work because it's disgusting.

Can't help but lol every time. I guess eating sick young chickens, who have never seen the sun, is more natural an healthy.

But I know I am not the crazy one. They are

No, because at the currency level, the pandemic has proven that the government ability to inject cash in the economy when needed through stimulus checks or temporary unemployed benefits is absolutely essential.

We used to have playgrounds like that. My favorite playground as a kid had metal slides, a merry-go-round that we used to have fun throwing kids off of by spinning it at high speed, and this gigantic metal turtle that would get so hot in the summer sun that it would burn you. My elementary school had monkey bars at varying heights... etc etc..

But last time I checked that playground replaced everything with bulky plastic toys and one of those boring wood castle things with plastic slides

I think verbal abuse, when done a certain way, is tolerated in a way that other forms of bullying aren't. Unless there are threats or sexual harassment, people in power will usually get away with being a complete ass with no consequence (and even then!). Good to know that your workplace isn't like this, at least that's your perception, but some places allow people like this to thrive. This has to change.
I was having issues with this as well; it seemed my problem was that I was creating the view as a superuser. Since view creation is essentially WITH SECURITY DEFINER (to take a term from UDFs) any user accessing the view to see the underlying rls enabled table would see all the results (since `postgres` user bypasses all RLS).

Creating a separate "data owner" and "api owner" to own the api and data schema+tables/views respectively alleviates this problem. Your API schema owner != your table owner unless you `ALTER TABLE FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` in addition to just enabling it.

What issues are you running into with RLS?
I was just pointing out absolute numbers vs percentages, which were the core of GP comment.
But I doubt unleashing the full expressive power of SQL is the point here. It would easily turn a moderately complicated "remove column" migration a real maintenance hell.

In the simplest form, when you add a column to some schema, it should be materialized in the base schema and exposed via the migration view.

The problems start when you add and remove 20 columns because even though they are no longer visible in migration schemas, they take up space in the base schema
I don’t think this is an absolute. I grew up in a neighborhood that provided what you describe in Idaho. Both my brothers are raising their kids in an environment like you describe. I live in one in Seattle now. It’s not cheap in a city but it’s not unheard of in the US.
Lots of kids ride their bikes to my daughters elementary school, where we live in the United States. Safe small towns with functional sidewalks, for kids to ride bikes on as necessary, still happily exist in some places in our nation.
Hi folks OP here.

Here's my side project StarQueue which is a free message queue.

I built it because I wanted to see if it was possible to implement something similar to SQS using Postgres as a back end. I actually implemented the back end in Postgres, MySQL and also SQL server and they all work fine. I chose Postgres in the end because of personal preference. I tried to implement the same back end in Oracle and the experience or using Oracle was horrifying so I dropped that. I tried to implement for IBM DB2 but that got hard for reasons I can't recall so I dropped that too.

It's written in async Python using the Starlette framework.

It's in beta at the moment. Let me know if you notice any problems.

Me too! I hate the real time group of 10 discussions where ideas are suggested, accepted etc. and I am scared to contribute as I want to think it through.

One tactic is I just ask questions that either make me understand the idea or act as a polite “that’s a bad idea” without saying it!

Replaying someone else’s idea in your words is valuable. Half the time you’ll be wrong - which is good. Words are inefficient and conveying all the nuance (hence “code is the documentation” mantra). The act of having an idea repeated back helps to make sure it has passed from one person to the other and provides more scrutiny.

In these ways you can be involved and valuable without thinking deeply in real time. In effect you are a QA for the people who can, who has a different perspective that is useful.
Note that the de-facto existing standard (FreeBSD) doesn't have the hyphen. If these are intended to be read by tooling, it's probably best to keep consistency with existing practice, even though every other trailer seems to be hyphenated. (The Git software can cope with spaces in trailer names.)

The issue with deflation (on a macro level, one sector isn’t relevant here) is that encourages hording money. To counter that, interest rates have to be lowered. Otherwise you have what’s called a liquidity trap. There comes a point where this lowering of interest rates isn’t sustainable and the economy collapses.

The comparison to shorting a stock is that you can never have enough capital to cover the rise in price. Capital is a limited resource while there is no upper bound on the stock. So there comes a point where you can no longer cover and you lose big time.
