Beautifully said, this is a big elephant in the room.

There is a preliminary problem: the mission. "Intellectual curiosity", "Stay for the empathy", "Truth finding", "Thank you for sharing", "Ask the expert", "Feel the outrage", "Access knowledge", "Take this latest"¹ (and of course, "Be addicted!") [²] - these do not bring to the same place. And the wealth in one may conceal that you are in the wrong place.

(¹ "Take this latest": with reference to implementations that show the recent but irremediably hide the past. Like press under some dictatorships. Because if you were interested in Habermas' "chirps" on the events of May 2013, and to read Ferguson's interventions like a book, but you are supposed to be only interested in yesterday...)

Edit:

² I forgot a big one, implicit: "Build peer pressure by discovering others with a similar comfort zone". "...Today a page, tomorrow the world".
(Speculation ahead!)

Interesting point in video posted recently by Veritasium:
Basically, they are doing experiments to track evolution in "realtime" of some organisms. During the conversation the guy mentions that the population growth of their organisms are controlled by adding or removing glucose for them to consume - basically as long as glucose is available, there will be growth. (First 5 minutes of video)

This is really not my field at all, but I found it interesting that sugar has that great an effect on growth. Considering how much sugar most humans eat, considering the gross amount of other organisms in our bodies.. there must be some kind of measurable effect on our microbiome by eating more sugars (or things that use glucose). What if sugar is ~the~ culprit for many diseases (cancer anyone?)?

I'm not anti-sugar, just speculating. Criticism welcome, am I on the right path to think this way?

The main point of the article is that degrowthing is incompatible with poverty reduction.
I like à lot this quote: "you can't negotiate with physics". It got quite famous after being used by G. Thunberg at Davos, while it is much older [1].
In other words, poverty might be overcome with public policies, while the issue is way more complex concerning climate change (and loss of biodiversity)

I think a naive tree search (start from one tile and try adding others with matching edges) might find a solution pretty fast, because most of the search space gets discarded early.
great. as long as both OS can read the whole disk, i can make a usable dual-boot system.

the worst irritation with dual-boot is having to reboot to access data that's on the other OS disk. but this way i can boot and test haiku without having to move all my data over
Raivo OTP for iOS does something similar where it displays the previous code (greyed out) too after it has expired. Convenient for when the time runs out while you enter the code, as others mentions there is often some leeway on the token expiry time.

There wasn't much to hate about SP3 Windows XP.

It was a solid OS, limited mostly by lack of mainstream 64-bit version and hard capped at DirectX 9.0, meaning modern games no longer worked. Later on, lack of TRIM support for SSDs.

Basically between SP3 release in 2008 and XP's end of support in 2014, you could have used a very stable OS if you didn't need to play the latest games or run the absolute latest hardware.
Unless standardized tests have changed radically for the better recently, I don't think this question is designed to teach someone how to score well on one.

This is a thinking problem that could be approached in a lot of different ways. It's really the opposite of a standardized test problem.
Gas prices are comically low in the US compared to other countries.
I’ve always disabled cloud backups. They don’t really serve much purpose anyway since it’s just settings and to me settings are less valuable than content. I can easily set my device up again from scratch - in fact I like to do that every now and then to get new defaults or see how UX has changed.

If you connect your device locally you can, just using Finder, make an encrypted local backup which IMHO is much better.

Even if Apple did say Cloud Backups were encrypted you’d have to take it at face value anyway. Always be in charge of your own data, and secure and back it up yourself.
This can’t happen fast enough. Imagine this situation happening for four years and it be a crime if you ever heard what they said about you.

This attempt to use a raspberry to change your cats behavior seem to be repeating pattern for a certain it-affine group of people: https://link.medium.com/LTbefNZX6ib
And the Cat is often tempted by a plant which is not good for him.

The science behind the reasons for cats eating grass and other plants is not yet unravelled completely, but I don't think there is a general consensus the eating nor (supposedly consecutive) regurgitating is actually bad for the cat. Just bad for the owner :) Research does show it is very common behavior though (like 1/10 cat owners have never seen their cat eat plants).

The low-engineering solution to this problem is to trade the non-cat-edible plant with a neighbor for another plant. That solution wouldn’t be a blog post on HN though.

For a hobby project, over engineered is just the right level of engineered! I’m guessing the creative phase is at least as important to the author as the solution to the problem.

We are reading and discussing this only because it made it to HN which it did only because it is over engineered.
Boy is this the truth. I grew up on a very sugar heavy diet. My whole family would sip on quart tumblers of soda more or less continuously throughout the day. I took that into adult hood with a habit to constantly drink cans of coke.

In my early 20s, my then boss one afternoon suggested I just try cutting nearly all sugary stuff out of my diet, as I was having issues with low energy during the day. It took a couple weeks for my metabolism to adjust, but holy cow what a difference. I've stuck with a diet low on simple sugars ever since.

While I'm sure what some posters are saying about age related sweetness sensitivity is true, what the above poster is talking about is very real, very acute, and very obvious. Likewise, the taste of less sweet things changes dramatically as well. I drank a lot of diet coke for a while during the transition. I remember what it tasted like back when I drank sugared stuff all the time, and I found it disgusting. Now it tastes very sweet. It's also a texture thing: sugared soda feels like syrup in my mouth now.

Overall this is probably the most positive health related decision I've made in life. I still have the occasional bowl of ice cream or such as a treat, but it's like a once a month thing now, if that. Beer is really the last sugar laden thing I have with some regularity. I'd never go back to where I was.
E2ee, transport encryption, encryption at rest and client side encryption are all different things.

August Sunday Football Prediction and Detailed Analysis
We are having atrocious READ/WRITE latency with our PG database (api layer is django rest framework). The table that is the issue consists of multiple JSON BLOB fields, with quite a bit of data— I am convinced these need to be abstracted to their own relational tables. Is this a sound solution? I believe it is the deserialization in these fields of large nested JSON BLOBS that is causing latency. Note: this database architecture was created by a contractor. There is no indexing or relations existing in current schema. Just a single “Videos” table with all metadata stored as Postgres JSON field type blobs.
EDIT: rebuilding the schema from the ground up with 5-6GB of data in the production database (not much, but still at the production level) is a hard sell, but I think it is necessary as we will be scaling enormously very soon.
When I say rebuild, I mean a proper relational table layout with indexing, fk’s, etc.

EDIT2: to further comment on current table architecture, we have 3-4 other tables with minimal fields (3-4 Boolean/Char fields) that are relationally linked back the Videos table with a char field ‘video_id’, that is unique on the Videos table. Again, not a proper foreign key so no indexing.
Why wouldn't they? They have no stake in this. They'll do whatever let's them keep operating. "Sure I sold 40 units to <name> at <address> last week. Would you like his credit card number too?"
Yes, 5G can operate on lots of different frequencies depending on whether you want high bandwidth or high coverage (or, through careful combinations) both!

Since 50GHz is basically line-of-sight, if you want to jam it, just build a wall!
What I love about these old designs is how obvious everything is. You just can't miss the button or the tabs.

Now after all this skeuomorphic design revolution it's so hard to tell, is it a button, text, link etc. It probably looks better but it is at the cost of extra thinking for the user.
In other news, most people are fine with the OS not pushing updates and blaming it for their security issues can be easily delayed until it is too late.
>No I’m saying “censorship” as a rallying cry around moderation of a platform is effectively demanding permission for those.

I don't think so. The 2 specific situations you list are different. For child porn, it's illegal. So if Facebook blocks it, it's the government choosing what to censor, not Facebook.

And I think it's possible to prevent "harassing people with pictures of patterns of holes they find unnerving" without Facebook censoring content. Facebook has a block functionality, and the receiver could block the sender. As for the sender making multiple accounts, if Facebook blocks that, that's not censorship of content, that's enforcing a 1 account policy.
I dropped my plan to use Cloud Backups when Apple dropped their plan to protect their users.
If you want to know it’s safe, either don’t share it with a third party and hang onto that data yourself. Or alternatively, client-side encrypt it to be sure.
200 lines in one file sounds fine on the face of it. I like it when I don't have to trace through to other files to see what's going on.
Steam is the one I've found that can really saturate a connection. But be warned, because with how it distributes some games using compression your CPU & SSD might be the bottleneck.
This is not really a tech thing though; it's process. There are probably enough people there who can 'crank stuff out' too, but they cannot do that because of the process in place. A lot of companies end up this way when they get big, especially if they were not software companies to start with. There will be many management layers and gatekeepers who will do anything they can to prevent you from cranking out your stuff.
Hand tracking is more natural feeling when it works. But requires your hands to be in view of the sensors and not be occluded by each other or different objects. That adds an awkwardness to the interaction which limits the possibilities.

imo, json dt should be an intermidiary step in db struc in rdb, never the final. Once you know & have stable columes, unravel the json into proper cols with indexing, it should improve the situation

if youre having issues with 5gb, you will face exponential problems when it grows due to lack of indexing

I also know this approach as Dynamic Programming. While the subproblem is not cleanly seperated it is present in the sense that you consider one element first and then deal with the rest later, never touching the first again.

And yes, the runtime here is polynomial, however it is polynomial in the price k, which only needs log k bits to encode in the input. Therefore it is exponential in the encoding length. These algorithms are called pseudo-polynomial.
Thanks for the film tip, I thought I was relatively well versed in the DFW universe, but had never heard about it.
I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of the thread but I've been working on a way to allow reviews of gameplay in video games. In short, you upload a video of you playing the game and someone who's an expert can review it.

I currently have a UI with the comments down the side of the screen which looks like this:

https://www.volt.school/videos/c980297a-417b-416f-947b-58a70...

This is good because you can easily:
- See all the comments
- Navigate between them
- See replies etc.

However it has a huge problem with you trying to balance watching the video with reading the comments.

I also have an alternative UI I've been working on which only shows one comment at a time:

https://www.volt.school/videos-v2/c980297a-417b-416f-947b-58...

However the downsides of this is that you can't see all the comments at once. I'm not a UI/UX designer AT ALL so I'd really appreciate some pointers around how to think about making this better! The original post mentions "close to solving", I think I am pretty close but it's still not quite right and while I'm not out of ideas yet, I'd appreciate feedback if solving this is obvious to someone else.

It's a cultural thing (if you meant that "Correct Thought" was different depending on the platform). I'm pretty ure this came from the US, and to be more precise, from McCarthyism, and bled through the cultural dominance to other western countries.

This preoccupation with Apple maintaining your privacy from themselves is ridiculous. They commit to protecting your privacy from others and are clear on what they have access to themselves.

If you want true E2E encryption and encryption at rest, then build your own infrastructure.
Isn't that going to happen anyway?
Cheers for the response (and affirmation). After some latency profiling I am convinced proper cols with indexing will vastly improve our situation since the queries themselves are very simple.
I'm working on a prototype that uses the compositional game theory [1] and adapts it to be able to reliably predict the order complexity of functors and their differences between states.

A huge bonus there would be when the order difference can be represented in a graph, so that tesselation or other approaches like a hypercube representation can be used for quick estimations. (that's what I'm aiming for right now)

If successful, the next step would be to integrate it into my web browser so that I can try out whether the equilibrium works as expected on some niche topics or forums.

I don't know about PG, but with MariaDB, a nice way to find bottlenecks is to run SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST in a loop and log the output. So you see which queries are actually taking up the most time on the production server.

If you post those queries here, we can probably give tips on how to improve the situation.

Bit hard to tell without some idea of the structure of the data, but my experience has been storing blobs in the database is only a good idea if those objects are completely self contained i.e. entire files.

If you write a small program to check the integrity of your blobs i.e. that the structure of the json didn't change over time, you may be able to infer a relational table schema that isolates those bits that really need to be blobs. Too leave it too long invites long term compatibility issues if somebody changes the structure of your json objects.
You can take incremental approach and p.o.c with the data that you have so you can justify your move too!

There are scenarios, e.g. something mission-critical or highly-regulated, where process/gatekeeping is appropriate. The scenario described by OP is not one of them.
I had this issue at a previous job where we would query an API (AWS actually) and store the entire response payload. As we started out we would query into the JSONB fields using the JSON operators, however at some point we started to run into performance issues and ended up "lifting" the data we cared about to columns on the same record that stored the JSON.

A nice addition would be to note that if you limit yourself to the smallest encoding (only uppercase letters, numbers and some symbols) you’ll use less bits so get a smaller code or more room for error correction.

Interesting. I believe I noted a similar function in the Postgres docs I was scouring through Friday. I’ll give it a look and see what I can find.

Tangentially related for those who have experience, I am using Django-silk for latency profiling.
You’re absolutely right. On first read of the article I found that statement amusing because I could see the truth in it. But after reading your perspective, I see where inductive reasoning has provided a tremendous amount of value in sales. Maybe the author meant inductive reasoning’s relationship to long-lasting interpersonal relationships.
Interestin things about Ada:

- language designer have a document where they explain their choices, the Ada Rationale:
http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/rationale12.html

- there is an annotated version of the standard, and it's freely available as the standard:
http://www.ada-auth.org/arm.html

- A language test suite was developped at the same time of the language:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Conformity_Assessment_Test...

The last point was also in retrospect not sot good for the language ecosystem: buyers wanted a 100% on this test suite before considering your Ada compiler, which means dev had hundreds of compiler bugs to fix and no paying customers.

Frustrated by the degree of manual programming process in production metal machining. The industry exists largely on inertia. I would like to resolve this by applying standard optimization algorithms to a set of known machining strategies plus machine, work-holding, material, part and tool inputs. Have already analyzed the problem space to some extent and will be touring a huge production facility next week to better understand best-in-class processes from large established players. Need someone to either wrap existing simulation algorithms (any CAM system) or write enough of one (not that hard, the solution space is extremely multivariate but well understood and well documented) to make it feasible (not too hard for 2.5D machining). You can get as intellectual as you like in the solution, but remember perfect is the enemy of done. Value is huge, happy to split equity on a new entity to resolve if a workable solution for the easier subset of parts emerges in the next few weeks.
