I know what you mean. I loved Vsauce when it originally came out. I remember getting an “oh! Wow!” reactions with amazing first season when Michael would explain things. Later when it moved, it was all too much fluff and little core material I originally loved. I completely lost touch eventually.

Yes. haha that's awesome.

Thanks again, I'll add these to my morning runs =)
That depends on just how fine-grained their control on the election is. They might not lose, but they could still be embarrassed or greatly inconvenienced by the results. And you don't always need to chip away at the armor too much before a critical weakness is revealed. Once the party is no longer viewed as unassailable things could change more rapidly.

I'll admit that's a very optimistic view of things though. It has to be a little hard to stick your neck out in Russian politics when the result may be transdermal poison secretly smeared on the insides of your underwear. (And that is not an exaggeration or speculation of the risk)
And if you're more of a bedroom musician, there's software that'll cover the majority of sounds, with a few oddball exceptions. That's why I mostly collect guitar pedals that aren't being made in software, or that I am too lazy to emulate by stringing multiple things together.
I don't think you were allowed any service items during landing, so this can't have been true.
Anyone tried this? How's the performance compared to Docker Machine in Mac (notoriously slow on storage).

Do you mean tablespaces? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/manage-ag-tablespaces.htm...

They'll allow you to have some parts on database on faster devices for instance.
> Zero impedance mismatch

I see the problem here being that too many manual optimizations need to be done when implementing a schema.

You start with a logical schema (ERD diagram) and then implement it via a physical schema with denormalizations added for efficiency (usually because the relational model has scaling limits with number of joins, or because db migrations are too difficult, or handling unstructured data without introducing a ton of new tables). The db should do the denormalization automatically, allowing the user to interface with their logical schema directly.

Another reason is we can't use SQL in the browser - we have to go through many caching layers and API layers which complicate things.
Ask HN: Are there studies that track changes in corporate terms and conditions?
How did the terms and conditions of big corporations like google, facebook, microsoft etc change over time?

Is there any git repository that is tracking changes in these legal documents, over time?

i didn't find much in this respect, but maybe you know better!
> good ol’ locking-based protocols in practice outperform MVCC-based protocols

Doesn't make sense to me. Oracle supports MVCC. SQL Server doesn't scale as well as Oracle.
Old HP Proliant tower servers make great Linux lab machines. Super reliable, great parts availability and upgradeable, also well supported by linux.

I use an old ML 330 G6 with dual xeons and soon to have 64Gb of memory as a dev box. Fantastic for VMs and emulators, containerd etc. I did throw a cheap video card in it and dual 1Gb drives running the simplest raid available in the bios. It rocks. Current ebay price around $200 in working condition. Team it with a couple of charity shop monitors.
Well the last paragraph is ignoring my point about run ahead I think.

> among other things, that contactless payments are suddenly unusable

Yep! One major "other thing" is Snapchat, which really sucks since it's a communications/messaging app that can't be used in a Web browser either, so if you ever start to fail SafetyNet, you'd better hope you have some other means of contacting all of your friends on it.
These kinds of practices have always been normalized in the context of internet web forums. They're privately owned and operated sites whose "members" amount to volunteer content contributors with zero legal right to be published via or given access to said site. Facebook is no different.

There's a serious computer and internet literacy problem when the general public believes otherwise.

Tangentially, I wonder if Moby underestimated the amount of human hours that were instantly allocated to alternatives as soon as they announced Docker Desktop was going paid. (I don't know if this project is a consequence of that announcement or not.)

Hopefully Podman will be able to capitalize on this event and get the polish needed for widespread use.
"Home videos" implies amateurism, maybe candidness? PewDiePie is obviously a professional making video entertainment as a career. That's meaningfully different than a recording of me taking my kids to the zoo.

Venue isn't the defining difference, no. Some combination of intent and skill are. At least thats what I think.
This is pretty stupid, but I'd be happy to see a SQL dialect where a statement can start with a FROM clause. This is also pretty stupid, but there are also some cases where I wouldn't hate some sort of "JOIN AS CHILD" feature along with results that aren't 100% tabular.

The graph showing the lifespan of ancient civilisations seems to have ignored the Indus Valley civilisation, which apparently lasted from about 3300 BC to 1300 BC. It is also a good example of climate change leading to collapse, according to experts.

Your assumptions are incorrect specially after you spend couple of decades doing software development.
Yeah, but if you're living in the US and your kids are, too, your trick doesn't work. There's no arbitrage power.
I was just in Trona and Boron today - nearly half of the world's borax and boron chemical supply come from these two places in the Mojave. From saline pumped from under dry lakes.

The same places supply much of the soda ash and bicarbonate of soda for the US. Plus sodium sulfate/glauber's salt.

Some good stories break Chekhov's Gun, but only in the same way that a good story would break any rule of storytelling, which is to say, the author knowingly breaks it in a calculated way that compensates for the known deficiencies that would otherwise exist as a result of not following the rule.

It in no way follows, as you're suggesting, that Chekhov's Gun is some arbitrary inconvenience, or that you can gleefully ignore the amount of detail you introduce relative to the interesting bits, which is what a real rejection of Chekhov's Gun would entail.

Your purported counterexample recognizes as much: that yes, it's detail that doesn't have a shocking payoff, but which was still accomplishing something and which Tolkien certainly weighed against the "cost" of continuing said detail arbitrarily deep.

It really is an anti-pattern to equate, "oh yeah in some circumstances it's okay to break this rule" with "you will write a better story by completely ignoring all constraints of this rule".

Disagree. OP stated their thoughts on the topic at hand. You are projecting and twisting that into OP “taking charge” and again twisting that into “asserting power” somehow.

The overhead of working out where the people who maintain the code are is usually higher than just fixing the bug I found. This is doubly true if the bug is bad enough that I need to temporarily fork the repo to deal with it.

In the same way that the maintainers don't have an obligation to review my PR, I don't have an obligation to go find them and learn how to use IRC/bugzilla/mattermost/mailing lists/smoke signals/yodelling to communicate with them with the exact secret handshake to get a review. I can just throw a PR out there, point our code at my fork, rebase it whenever they make changes, and otherwise ignore their requirements until they either fix the bug themselves or merge my code.

As someone who volunteered a lot at a charity thrift store, this can be problematic advice. If you don't know anyone who wants it, the charity probably doesn't either.

With old phones for example, if it's years beyond OS updates, and hardly any apps in the App/Play stores will work on it, at this point it's really just a collector's item, or garbage. Poorer people don't want non-functional products, either.

Ok, in the context of commercial supplements being 10-30x the "correct dose" the significant point is that the commercial doses are stupidly high for anyone. People needing +/- 50% of the dose isn't the important part here.
> good practice for client code to make no assumptions about the internal representation

If your internal representation and API start to differ then it adds complexity fast. Its far better to have as close to a 1-1 mapping for your backend and frontend data models as possible.
Yes. It's easier to understand an idea-world when you have a bunch of familiar archetypes/stereotypes blundering through it. I read an essay a long time ago that said that a more general name for a lot of science/fantasy fiction is "environmental fiction," because science isn't the important part, it's the portrait of an environment. And the way we get to understand this environment is in the ways the characters react to it. If the characters are also confusing or unintelligible, then there's no grounding for the reader.

Of course, that's why all of these genre clichés build up - because in a stereotypical Fantasyland that readers will be familiar with, you can write your character drama.

Sad to say, Proton's onion service is for their old version. Proton has recently rolled out a new updated version of their service, and as far as I'm aware they don't offer a Tor onion service for that newer version.

So Proton users who like to connect via Tor onion services have been faced with a choice of either staying on the old version of ProtonMail, or giving up on connecting via a Tor onion service. It definitely leaves the impression that they don't care much about Tor anymore, or that it's at best an afterthought for them.
I like how he says "one more" suggesting they had any. Google Video wasnt the prettiest and most usable thing to say the least.
Potassium has a recommended daily intake of around 3500-4500 mg. The largest pill supplement I've seen is 600 mg. Most are in the 200-300 mg range. 99 mg in the US A banana is 300-400 mg of potassium in comparison.

Meanwhile you can go to the grocery store and buy "low sodium salt" by the kilogram where half the NaCl is replaced by KCl.

It's not picking and choosing your principals if the principal is "don't enable authoritarians" and so in one country you can follow all local laws and still live by that principal, but in another you need to ignore the local law to do so.

Not that I'm claiming Google itself has & will adhere to that principal. I'm speaking in general terms, that choosing which local laws to follow can be the only way to stick to your principals. Although that should also mean accepting the consequences. That is a fundamental tenant of civil disobedience: that a choice can be made to follow conscience, but also that the consequences must be accepted. In fact, that others observing the penalty may also have their conscience piqued by the injustice and also rise against it. (Generally associated with non-violent methods though, hence the "civil" inclusion with disobedience.)

Not uncommon, I think. You can also grab a random multivitamin off the shelf and you regularly find stuff in there at 5-100x daily recommended doses (though those are generally things safe for significantly higher doses for extended periods, e.g. vitamin c)

Yes, and payback period in many places is less than 10 years, while the equipment will typically last well past its 25 year warranty.

There’s also a 26% federal tax credit, and in some cases state, local, and utility incentives. Generators and fuel don’t receive those financial incentives.
Yes, everyday, in any civilization. Keeping any civilization alive takes collective will, work and adaptation.
Of course we are, this too shall pass. There is a constant struggle to keep things afloat, people seem to forget that at times, especially the rent seeking class who place little to no value on infrastructure, both physical and societal.

If we get another FDR style reset, things should be good for a generation or two, if not... the horrors of history will rhyme once again.

Edit/Update: The New Deal provided a social safety net which greatly relieve the inequality that ripped apart Germany and other countries.

It also provided the infrastructure that just happened to make it much easier to out-manufacture the rest of the world in WWII, and benefitted society for decades later.

"Crypto AG was a Swiss company specialising in communications and information security. It was secretly jointly owned by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) from 1970 until about 1993, with CIA continuing as sole owner until about 2018."

I used to work 7pm - 7am night shift. 3 days on, 4 days off one week and 4 days on, 3 days off the next. With lots of melatonin, exercise and careful adherence to my bizarre schedule I was able to train my body into a diurnal inversion cyclical sleep schedule. As soon as my 3/4 day work week was over I would -- over the course of one day -- inverter myself back to being awake during the day. When my weekend was over I would invert back to sleeping during the day. I did this for years.

Work day 1: wake up 12pm, sleep 7am

Work day 2: same

Work day 3: same

Day off 1: wake up 12 pm, sleep at 10pm

Day off 2: wake up 8am, sleep 10pm

Day off 3: wake up 8 am, sleep 1am

Day off 4: wake up 12pm, sleep 3am

Repeat.

Melatonin was literally the only way I managed that.
I don’t know for sure but I think the article or the comments said that ABS was still operative.

However, I’d add that the pilots would not have had time to fully appreciate the situation, probably didn’t know that all three systems had failed, hadn’t had time to run checklists, and so they might have been worried about the possibility that ABS had also failed. All the other stopping systems had failed after all.

Remember this happened as they touched down, which is a pretty high workload environment at the best of times.
Hm it was how my professors in school taught nihilism and Nietzsche. It was definitely a high level takeaway from many readings we did and not a single quote or citation. But it was on the exam ;)

I don't have any sources behind that atm, but I'd guess it would be somewhere around the discussion of the afterlife and how it is a Christian driver of nihilism.
What I liked about melatonin was the YEAH READY TO GO when waking up.

Useful when my schedule was working on the car before work.

But I really try not to take it anymore. The blue light glasses are sufficient.
Most coastal cities aren't in California. There's nowhere to drain to when the flood has arrived.
Why do you believe this? It seems it depends heavily on

- How many people would be injured or killed by the event.

- How much financial damage the event would cause.

For example, if nobody ever dies, and 10 million in damage/problems occurs each time the event does, then it's almost certainly not worth spending 1 billion dollars to to fix the problem.

Obviously, those numbers are ridiculous, but the point is there. The numbers need to be considered.

And yes, human life is a number, too. It's just harder to quantify because there's a lot of opinion involved. But if it the expectation is that such an event will kill 1 person each time, and it would cost 1 Trillion dollars to fix/prevent... it's almost certainly not worth fixing. It's harsh, but spending a Trillion dollars for a single life would be unreasonable.
Drain to where?
I think you'd be surprised how often the route from dev to prod is "copy it from my machine into the cloud".

Risk is built with Unity. Unity games are harder to optimize than older custom engines because it's not custom. Unity and UE allowed games that wouldn't normally exist at all to get made. The complaint "I'm mainly just depressed at how slow games are now" is interesting, in that really you're comparing slow games now to games that would never have existed in the first place before.

I really don't understand your argument.

It wasn't viable to emulate a 2d board game on a computer before unity?

Thanks! I’m personally hopeful on point 1. Nasal vaccines seem to offer a fair bit of potential for mucosal immunity which could go further in blunting both breakthroughs and transmission.
Perhaps not entire civilization collapse, pending nuclear arsenals unleashed, but I think we are edging ever closer to massive social upheaval, what shape of this I am unsure about. To quote an adjacent article that was mentioned in this one: How Western Civilization Could Collapse

> Eventually, the working population crashes because the portion of wealth allocated to them is not enough, followed by collapse of the elites due to the absence of labour. The inequalities we see today both within and between countries already point to such disparities. For example, the top 10% of global income earners are responsible for almost as much total greenhouse gas emissions as the bottom 90% combined. Similarly, about half the world’s population lives on less than $3 per day[0][1]

This is from 2017. This has gotten, in my view, much worse and is not continuing to alleviate itself, and I believe climate change is only making this worse over the next 5-10 years as wealthier nations and their wealthiest citizens try to insulate themselves further from its effects at the expense or perceived expense of the poor. I don’t think the current political climate is going to prove its sustainable.

Couple that with serious economic pressures as in part, a result of globalization and coming shortages and issues of natural resources and it’s a recipe for real disaster

Agreed, the author mentions this, but then kind of ignores the fact that today's hardware is only useful with compatible software, and today's software is primarily an inter-related ecosystem, not isolated apps.

That is, many of those devices can only load years-old OSes, and in some cases then can only load years-old browsers, and many of today's websites won't work on years-old browsers.
