I think there is a geographic component as well. I am Roman Catholic. I grew up in the North East US and DC suburbs and while I was aware of anti-catholic sentiment among certain denominations, I didn't really encounter it until I went to college in the Midwest, where it was impossible to miss.
Most of these organizations can't tell the difference between competence and incompetence, so any money they spend on IT is likely to be wasted. The more ambitious the project, the more pointless it is.

I see a lot of these sentiments that "nobody posts much any more" - is it true that they actually don't post much, or is it just that most people are now aware of online privacy and the long-term risks of public posting? Maybe everyone's posting a heap to their inner circle but nothing publicly?
Yeah, I guess healthcare is the other major one that's increased in cost. Although I'm not sure that's at literally 500% from 1995 either.

Probable cause (of slightly different things; the threshold is the same but the subject is different) is the bar for both search and arrest.

Our solution is a patented marking technology. We add invisible anti-leak marks on the documents to protect them. If somebody decided to take a screenshot of this document, make a photo on the smartphone, or print it, our marks will still be on the document, because you can't remove them. They are detectable only by our system LeaksID. You can try our solution via app.leaksid.com!
Nearly all are open source and tracking free.

I hope it remains that way.

Some do of course throw unnecessary signup pages before allowing you to connect your wallet. I immediately close the tab if I see that. They are the minority.

It's the web, obviously there aren't firm rules. The point is that most of the builders in the space are hackers that want a free and open web void of that nonsense.

And most of the protocols/services are profitable, so the builders have no incentive to track users or sell data.

If "web2" companies start moving into the space, I'm sure they will track and sell data like they do now. The goal is to create free and open alternatives of those products so you aren't forced to endure those tactics.

But with web3 + a VPN or Private Relay, you can probably do a fairly good job staying mostly anon.
> 1. How do you handle versioning? Like if you want to try a development branch on a non-branch/shared db. Creating different version of stored procedures creates a recursive problem. A calls B, now A’ has to call B’

Writing UDFs and using Pl/pgSQL has no impact on how you do versioning. At my company we follow standard Gitflow and use golang-migrate for schema migrations (or Phinx for our PHP code bases).

If you're working at a company where developers are all forced to use the same shared database, then you're going to have a lot of development challenges that are unrelated to UDFs and Pl/pgSQL. Multiple devs sharing the same database always requires some team coordination to ensure that each member isn't stepping on another's toes -- whether that be prefixing your UDFs with your initials during development or agreeing not to work on the same UDFs at the same time.

> 2. Sometimes we still need to programmatically decide to include a table in the join or not or get creative on a filter. Pl/pgsql is less flexible in this regard. You get the benefit of syntax checking only when query is verbatim and not dynamically constructed.

That's just untrue. Pl/pgSQL fully supports conditional logic, dynamic query string construction, multi-query transactions, storing intermediate result sets in a variable or temp table, etc. The use case you described is actually a great example of when you would decide to use Pl/pgSQL. The language is extremely robust.
I wish this was true with Ubuntu but every time I boot up is a dice roll on if my mouse will be sluggish and low -FPS or not.
Ask HN: R U OK?
It's R U OK day here in Australia (charity led awareness day). I would like to extend this to the rest of the Hacker News community, for what has been another tough 12 months.

If you have anyone in your life who you think may be struggling, I hope you can find resources at https://www.ruok.org.au to help them. A conversation can change a life.

In most places assisted dying laws only apply to people suffering a terminal disease. If you are suffering something non-terminal, you lack choice and will continue suffering. The best hope some people have is that loved ones let them starve to death.
Just yesterday there was an article on Hacker News attacking Bezos for having the pride and selfishness to attempt to cure aging: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28440348

"Be fine with dying of old age or else you're a villain" is this weird, fundamental, Christian part of our common mythos/ethics/stories. The evil villain seeks immortality. The kindly old witch or wizard or Pope dies peacefully because it is right.

Aging is bad. We might be able to fix it. There are a thousand downsides and challenges that come with a solution to old age, but that doesn't mean leaving aging in place is better.
You might not be aware that Zig runs perfectly fine on Microsoft Windows, without MSVC installed. Consider also that installing Zig on Windows is a matter of unpacking a 40 MiB .zip file, whereas installing MSVC on Windows requires downloading something like 8 GiB, being an administrator (!!), and restarting the computer twice.
While I don't usually comment on downvotes, my guess is that the downvotes are because your question can come off as being insensitive. After someone tells you about the tragic death of both of his parents, maybe don't start a guessing game of what his mother died of even if your loved one died of that same disease.
Yes. It means the cop knows that you won't get charged or convicted, which means he lacks probable cause for arrest, thereby committing a felony.

If I was a mole for Amazon working at Elasticsearch, I can’t think of a better way to accelerate the shift onto AWS’s offering than breaking client comparability with previous versions of Elasticsearch. If a customer needs to upgrade the client for some reason, they are forced to update the server as well. Maybe they’ll just update the client and server to OpenSearch while they’re at it so they don’t have any more forced updates in the future.

It's because we took women out of home and pushed them into corporates where they do much less valuable work like diversity and inclusion officer, comparing to the jobs they used to do at home like, cooking, cleaning, laundry, private teachers, mental support, gardening and old age care, to name a few. So suddenly you need restaurants to cover for that, and psychologists and and cheap mexican slave labourers and ritalin and florida and what not. Economically wise, women were much more valuable as housewives.
It’s really news to me that I’m a surf. Here I was thinking that I could choose to work for anybody I wanted to, including myself, or specialize in any line of work I liked. I thought that I had completely freedom to hold my own assets and other property, and use them in any way I choose.

But apparently I exist in a state of permanent debt bondage, I am merely a chattel tied to a piece of land, that can be brought and sold by whoever is the master of my liberty.

Because that’s what a serfdom is, and according to the most upvoted comment ITT, our modern society significantly resembles a serfdom. Gosh, I really hope that violent revolution they’re talking about happens soon, so that my masters wealth can be fairly redistributed.
Australia is not ok, that's for sure.
The best/fastest web servers today manage >600k rps on a single server [0].

django is on that list, near the bottom, at 15k. Clearly his request response is more complicated than a simple fortune.

There are a few factors I've experience here. Interpreted languages have encouraged development patterns that are slow. Ease of allocating memory has tended to promote its overuse. Coding emphasis has been heavily weighted on developer productivity and correctness of code over lean and fast.

I find that poor web server configurations are pretty common. Smaller shops tend to use off the shelf frameworks rather than roll their own systems. Various framework "production" setups often don't include any caching at all. Static files are compressed and then sent on every request instead of preserving a pool of pre-compressed common pages/assets/responses. It's like the framework creators just assume there's going to be a CDN in front of the system, and so they don't even try to make the system fast.

The latest crop of web devs have very little experience setting up production systems correctly. Companies seem more interested in AWS skills than profiling. Then you have architectural pits like microservices. Since there is so little emphasis on individual system performance it seems that it has become or is becoming a lost skill.

Then there is so much money being thrown at successful SaaS that it just doesn't matter that their infrastructure costs are potentially 50x what they actually need. It seems that the only people squeezing performance out of software are the poor blokes who are scrimping by on shoestrings with no VC money in sight.

SCOTUS has made many rulings that cops both know and regularly ignore. There's hundreds of videos online of police threatening a camera person with arrest if they don't provide ID and then blinding or obstructing the camera. All three of those have been explicitly ruled on and leave no question, yet they continue to do it en masse.
There are huge incentives to talk up a shortage in X because the labor market self trains. So, no we’ve never had a nursing shortage etc, but talking about it is a great way to save some money.

Keep in mind that you can have a "public" (doxxed) address that you use for certain activities, as well as other addresses that you use for other private activities. It can be tricky to "break the chain" between addresses if you send/receive between them, but it's entirely possible.

What ticks me off no end is the folks who (often successfully) fight against physician assisted suicide. Dementia is the interesting test case, but I think should still be allowed.

With all the talk about 'controlling our bodies' in terms of abortion, and I can see both sides of that one, your own life is the one thing you really own. To have that control taken away is the worst kind of insult by the state.
Are you of the opinion that, just because the thing you enjoy doing also benefits your employer, that you can't enjoy it? That seems... very limiting. If I won the lottery, I'd be doing the same thing I do now, except without someone telling me to do it.

I don't fault Elastic for choosing to change their license. I fault them for their choice of the new one. They should have moved to the AGPL instead, like Grafana did under basically the exact same circumstances.
Pease consider a page listing beta features in progress and maybe even a form to sign up for beta testing. People seem to be under the impression (I used to be) that this forum is frozen in amber.

Devlogs would be nice too, since just about everyone interested in Arc development is already here, but that might be asking too much.
> Amazon is the good guy in this story

That is so twisted.

Elastic did all of the hard work. Amazon came in and took it.

Open source is fair when there aren't giants plucking it out of the hands of workers and co-opting it into their massive platform options with god-tier leverage. You can't compete in that world.

We need licenses even stronger than the AGPL to require that platforms running the code are open all the way down to the billing stack.
There actually is a docking adapter, but its utility is limited for a few reasons

* If you're futzing with hydrazone, you want to avoid sending humans to mess with it

* Any mission to repair it risks damaging the sensors just from the reaction mass that it takes to rendezvous

* There is currently no path forward to actually doing this servicing mission, in terms of equipment and vehicles. The technology will almost definitely exist in the future, but by the time it does why not just send a new mission?

* Designing the spacecraft to make it serviceable imposes new limitations on it

there is a list of popular cognitive architectures (including Soar and more recent ones from the likes of Kanerva and Eliasmith): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_architecture#Notable...

Eliasmith created "Semantic Pointer Architecture" which is sort of a crossover between CS and CogSci https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaun_(Semantic_Pointer_Archit..., also see his book on "How to build a Brain"

I wish the current AI research would get unstuck from local minima of deep learning, there's been so much progress in cognitive sciences in the last few decades.

Note that if you send a human crew you don’t really want to go slow because of cosmic rays (not to mention being locked in a can). Autonomous robotics have come a long way but I don’t think they’re ready for state of the art telescope repair.

Many religious organisations want something similar and deliver approximately nothing in return.
Often the excuse used to do things properly the hard way even though you're just starting out, is to prepare for unexpected growth.

But I like the sentiment with this, and it does seem advantageous to get used to reforging new systems every so often when you reach a certain threshold of demand, rather than spending all your money on building the perfect foundation of a building you might not be able to finish.
This is an interesting product of the power that automation gives a single person (or few people). If it takes a thousand bank tellers to process a hundred thousand transaction daily, then hundreds of them can leave and things will be fine. Whoever oversees the program can ask people questions when they forget the program details (because the program runs smoothly). If it takes a single programmer's work to do the same thing, you aren't going to put two people on it, but that person will someday leave. I wonder if that alone makes things more brittle.
Covid-19 surge in the US: The summer of hope ends in gloom
Great point! Would social media be the massive societal ill that it is without smartphones and wireless Internet everywhere? Without it being in people's pockets all day beeping and buzzing notifications at them, constantly trying to engage them? If we had to carve out a few hours at night for "computer time" like we used to, would it be so toxic?
I'm counting 5% EBIT, to simplify things, so 47.5% of revenues go back out the door as wages.
IIRC the podman socket is a planned thing for macOS as it'll be necessary for certain features that rely on the docker socket and don't use SSH, such as VSCode's Remote Containers extension.

However you can create an SSH tunnel to create the socket locally to allow non-podman clients to utilize the socket over SSH with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

# Get URI
> podman system connection ls

# Create tunnel
> ssh -nNT -L/tmp/podman.sock:/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock -i ~/.ssh/podman-machine-default ssh://core@localhost:[PORT]

# Export socket location
> export DOCKER_HOST='/tmp/podman.sock'

Aging is natural the same way heart disease and cancer are natural. Some people get unlucky and develop cancer at a young age, but we don't throw up our hands and say whelp it's just nature.

We should treat aging the same way. Some people's bodies fail them at 80, but others live to be 100+. If we develop good treatments there's no reason that everyone can't live to be 100 in relatively good health.
R U OK is a time for individuals to open up about their struggles with mental health.

I'd add the sentiment of GP that this particular team also seems to have something special. I've been following them for a while as well, and they've impressed me by meeting self-imposed deadlines for project milestones (like this magnet experiment), being quite ingenious in designing economical components (the design of their original superconductor is quite simple but brilliant), and just having a no-BS approach.
The only open question about large-scale energy storage is which of many viable alternatives will turn out cheapest, and when their price will bottom out. Battery storage that starts at 1/3 of lithium cost, before price begins to fall, is coming to market.

Until prices do start to bottom out, investment in storage is wasteful, so dollars go to generating capacity of known utility.

Each square meter of panel that goes online delays climate disaster by a precisely understood amount. Each panel made can go into service almost instantly. No matter how big the project, it can start delivering power anytime. There is no smallest-useful facility, right down to the residential rooftop.

Every dollar diverted to Tokamak instead brings climate disaster nearer.

Yeah, I know someone who said for basically their entire adult life "if I ever get like that, just shoot me" and meant it quite seriously. Unfortunately, they indeed spent their last few years gradually degrading in the throes of dementia. Very sad to see, and even more sad to know they would have absolutely hated being left to "rot" in such a way. The only consolation is the person hopefully didn't "know"? Who knows? :\
> Yes, but without evidence you aren’t going to jail, and if you do you can sue for wrongful arrest.

You can sue anyone, anytime, for anything, but even if charges aren't filed or a court dismisses them at the preliminary hearing stage for lack of sufficient evidence, wrongful arrest suits against police are very difficult.
Maybe the key word here is 'exhaustive'

What did stand out for me from that section was:

This is fine for simple queries, but provides little in the way of confidence that queries actually work.

Why not just paste the string first to psql to make sure the query actually works?
Amid a Pandemic, a Health Care Algorithm Shows Promise and Peril
> GitLab is more on par

On par? Gitlab CI is lightyears ahead of GHA and shows no sign of stopping: child pipelines, dynamic pipeline generation, very flexible conditionals, composable pipeline definitions, security, merge trains.

GHA is very basic, even simplest thing like individual job restart is not implemented.
This is the consequence of closed source. If Elasticsearch were still open source, then Amazon wouldn't have had any reason to do this. Elastic is getting exactly what they deserve.
My sister kept fooling with my father's palliative care meds? Why? She claimed it was so he could spend more time with her kids. My father thought he kids were spoiled.

What could be the other reason? Was she naieve? I do know she loved him, but it seemed he needed to do things for her love? She messed with his meds so she could more inheritance. Just American greed.

It's not like she even needed the money. She had two shoe stores in LA, and was a shoe designer.

She got all his cash. She had a lawyer on speed dial according to my brother. My mother got nothing. (We are not a litigious family for the most part.)

She spent part of the money on a Yurt in the backyard of her beautiful home, after a world trip staying in fancy hotels.

She wonders why her brothers, and mother, don't return calls.

One more thing. My father had a huge liver tumor. He had great insurance (Union Cadillac policy). Because modern doctors do not palpitate anymore, he went decade with the tumor. We all knew something didn't look right, but he was told by a doctor it was just scarring from a hernia operation. Not one doctor felt his abdomen, except interns at the hospital. (After the third different intern pushed on his stomach, I said enough. He's not a learning tool for you.)

He left the hospital with an incurable diagnosis. Many specialist looked at him.

This doctor affiliated with the hospital kept dragging my sick father in for appointments. He told him he would operate, after this sanctimonious speech about drinking.

My father was naturally elated.

The doctor called a couple of weeks later, and said he couldn't operrate.

It was all those unnessary office visits that irritated me, along with getting a guy's hope up.

(Sorry about the ramble. I once said, I didn't understand why Steve Jobs didn't use western medicine to cure his Pancreatic tumor. What I didn't know is how low the cure rate of that cancer was. I didn't know what kind of cancer (I hear their are basically two types, and one is somewhat kinda curable. The other is not.). I never should have said anything. When my day comes, I'm using that Right to Die option. I'm glad CA has that now. Oh boy, I am now depressed.)
