Canonical link: https://clickhouse.com/blog/en/2021/clickhouse-inc/

But I presume the GitHub link (https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/website...) has been submitted because clickhouse.com is going to be blocked for a large fraction of HN users (Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list, which I think uBlock Origin has enabled by default, includes ||clickhouse.com^). I’m actually a bit curious why clickhouse.com (or more likely a subdomain?) would be being used this way; I’d have thought that they’d separate any such uses to a different domain so as not to hinder their main domain which is about the software and nothing to do with ads or tracking at all (even if that’s probably the main end use of such an OLAP DBMS).
That is a very correct point.

Though it isn't git's failing when people use a distributed SCM in a centralised manner and expect it to be optimised as such!

It was circa 1998. It was 386DX, 96MB of memory, had monochromatic monitor, no enclosure (it rested on a towel) and no mouse (yes, I programmed graphical UIs without a mouse). Obviously no networking of any kind.

Yes, it had more memory than HDD!

It was my first development machine (after programmable calculator which was stolen) so I have fond memories of it.

I believe minimum Delphi 2 install was over 70MB so I also had to cut it up to fit the drive.

Don't worry, Politifact looked into this, and it isn't possible for the federal government to be seizing things from safe deposit boxes, because that would require a search warrant, which obviously isn't going to happen. Pants on fire.

Various chain emails over the past seven years have warned readers about the possibility of Homeland Security seizing items like gold, silver and guns from their safe deposit boxes at the bank. This isn’t possible without first obtaining a search warrant, since those boxes are private property. And banking officials told us random seizures just aren’t happening. We rate this statement Pants on Fire.

"Defund the police" includes the feds, just say that instead.
It's been known since 2005 [1] (with precedent back to the 1980's) that the police have no Constitutional duty to protect citizens from harm, even from a specific, credible, and immediate threat. They could basically do nothing, and as long as their management chain is happy, no problem.

You forgot there was still OpenSTEP and the collaboration with Sun, which ended up having an influence on a language being designed at the time called Oak.

Early versions of OS X were still based on OpenSTEP, thus able to run on top of Windows as well.
Civil has its own benefits though.. That famous "Civil asset forfeitures overshadow the value of all thefts" infographic from a few years back was only the case because the Feds took all of Bernie Madoff's funds via civil asset forfeiture and then gave those billions of dollars back to his victims. Had they waited for the criminal cases to play out, it would've been years before they saw their money.
I started writing a blog in 2007 and continued writing fairly regularly until 2013. The subject of my blog: the design of high density housing. I am not an architect, but I developed a passion for the subject and wrote blog posts based on the books, papers and news I consumed.

Why did I stop? Simply because hardly anyone was reading the blog!

At first, I convinced myself I was writing for myself and an audience was not important. But over time, I came to realise that, although the size of the audience was not important to me, the interest and engagement of readers did matter (especially for a blog with a very niche topic). Hardly any readers commented on my blog posts (which was important to me).

Today, there are lots of corporate blogs writing about their products, and there are single author bloggers trying to establish their "personal brand" - whatever that means! The writing style is often inflated, formal, corporate-sounding: in short, simply bland. What rarely comes across is the unique voice of the writer. And that's a shame.
I think the complaint against anthropomorphism is usually about ascribing emotions, not intelligence. Nobody can deny that ravens exhibit complex behavior around their dead, suggesting some level of understanding of death and mortality. But if one starts to claim that the ravens feel "sadness" or "grief", that is a much less grounded or provable claim, that is more likely based in our human reaction to death than the ravens' understanding of it.
Just got started with clickhouse. Super cool software.
People often don't think about the transition from a "public" page to a "private" page.

Take Hacker News for example. If you go to the home page without logging in, you'll see a list of posts. Does this need HTTPS?

Using your logic, it wouldn't.

But there's a login link in the top right corner of the page. If someone were to MITM the home page, they could make this login link go elsewhere, and harvest data.

The same is true of any site which has links to login/signup/payments/contact forms etc.

That describes virtually every site these days.

It's much easier to have every part of the site on HTTPS, than to have to worry about this.

Plus you avoid the possibility of malicious ads, scripts, and malware being injected into the page.

This is true and was not easily fixable with existing applications. They added a kernel supporting memory protection in the move to PowerPC but it wasn't until Carbon that apps really benefited from that. Carbon was a transitional API between classic MacOS and OS X that made it feasible to port apps to run on both, but conceivably they could have done something similar without the switch to Darwin.

If you don't mind sharing, where are you living that finding a primary care appointment is impossible? During my recent battle with covid, I was able to get appointments with specialists in several fields in about 1 week or less, which I think was pretty reasonable.

Rendition creates a two-way sync between design and code. It’s a figma+github plugin that will write UI code for you from designs. To do this, it compiles figma designs into react code and creates a pull request in your repo.

It also syncs designs from code back into figma, and this lets designers more easily work off of the latest designs (“pull latest designs from code”). And because Rendition syncs design and code in both directions, iterating on UI works well by generating nice diffs for PR review and allowing you to edit the generated code.

We think of it as an extra pair of hands to implement html/css for us. It’s best for relatively small product teams who need to get a lot done quickly.

Let us know what you think, and yell at us if you think we’re wrong

We hope to carry the torch forward from PageDraw’s efforts in this direction:

No general purpose testing tool like this can be a one-size-fits-all sort of thing. In the future I plan on adding configuration options so you can disable tests that you don't care about.

If you know what you are doing, but all means feel free to disregard any tests that you don't agree with. The suggestions that Validbot makes are meant to be general purpose "best practices" to help web developers make sure they are paying attention to everything they should be.

> Whether or not these deities were similarly associated with the planet Jupiter is a different question though.

Very doubtful, those names are modern applications to the planet. Although, there is zero doubt they were aware of and cognizant of the visible planets and their motions and no doubt had important names for them, it wasn't what western astronomers called them, almost certainly.

Also Dyaus Pater was a god of the daylight sky for the most part, which in the steppes, as you can imagine, made him pretty important and omnipresent.

POSTing a body, when a GET param is more RESTy, is unfortunate. But I am curious if some amount of developer convenience is leading to REST-like APIs (I like the way you put it) going out of style.

A curiosity to be sure, and by no means a critical problem.

EDIT: added some commas to help with parsing since I have my phrasing all turned about.
> The point is that Organization A is providing their owned device to Person A, and they have a right to monitor its use.

Why should that right win out in this case over the user's right to fiduciary technology that puts their interests first?

A company car can be worn out by driving it around for frivolous reasons, so the company will impose a condition that you can't do that, and monitor you to make sure you obey the restriction you agreed to.

A school issued laptop is not going to wear out any faster or slower depending on what you type on it. And there's clearly no restriction here against personal use.

The school might have a legitimate interest in whether the students are leaving their laptops plugged in all night mining Bitcoins and wearing out the battery. They don't have any legitimate interest in the contents of the students' diaries, whether they're written using school-issued tools or not.

Teaching students to expect this sort of treatment from people with power over them is corrosive to society.

So for the one that still blogs. Are you anonymous, not anonymous but with a pseoudonyme or not anonymous at all?
Regardless of the validity of the primary thesis (that there's a bottleneck in physician education, especially residency), I think the perspective in this is too narrow. There isn't just a bottleneck in physician education, there's a bottleneck in medical training in general, due to dated conceptions of professional identity and necessary training.

The entire system is broken in my opinion. Service provision should be more skills-focused, and less degree-focused, and deregulated to allow more competition in the types of services and professional identities that exist.

Currently in the US, access to care is too restricted or difficult. The response "let's open the floodgates to more physicians" is one response, but another response is "yes, do that, but let citizens receive care under different kinds of training models." Right now the assumption is RN -> LPN and MD->specialty->subspecialty, maybe with PA->specialty training, but there's many other forms of care from other types of providers that could exist. Pharmacists and psychologists are one example, where you might have specialized training -> broader training, or specialized training -> augmented skill set. There's also undoubtedly many other types of providers we can't even imagine now because the certification regulations are so strict; I also suspect a lot of care could be opened up to the general public on their own (many refills, for example, probably don't need repeat visits).

My sense is this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to medical certification overregulation.
Unless you work for Google, Apple, Cloudflare, Microsoft, Facebook, etc etc ;)

Of course they’d lose their ability to issue public certificates if it became widely known, but they have it within their power.
I get that it's more, but I clicked through to read the article expecting something insane like the $9/kWh rates in Texas earlier this year.
So long as the police line their coffers with forfeitures, they should pay whatever associated costs. If this isn't profitable enough for them, too bad.
The accounting gets tricky. France is generally paying more per kWh of nuclear than they generally get it from exporting it. However, the marginal costs per kWh is below what their receiving.

French nuclear power is such a bad deal for the country they try really hard to avoid showing the public how massive the subsidies are. Oddly enough this seems to have worked, and meanwhile they significantly reduced emissions which is a win for the environment.

Even though the landscape might have changed, I don't see a reason why trading should change (except maybe for opening up the market to smaller players who are "energy resellers"...)

In the end, trading is betting on arbitrage, and I don't see why an energy producer would stop leveraging this "free money".

A simple example: if there was good weather expected in another country, the org would set up a contract to buy the energy surplus in that country at a cheaper price. Whether or not or bio-gas & coal plants were running or not was mostly based on how much energy we needed after taking into account what happened on the trading floor, the price of our fuel and how much the other country would be charging.
Of course, the other country could decide we didn't offer a good price and decide to tone down it's amount of energy it produced.

I recall a lot of market making on the CO2 emission rights for example, but that's another story.

This is a simple scenario, in real life it was way more complex. (Just think about planning something like the delivery of coal at a plant.)
There have been a few times that I've offered phone support for my solo startup. When people email demanding it, I often do not offer it as an option because I can sense they are belligerent and it would be unpleasant and possibly unproductive.

Well, to orient someone's behaviour by giving them a "feeling" which does not overlap with reality, I call manipulation. But you probably did not mean it in these terms and I misread your expression. (That an expectation of contentment through "well but you had your say with voting" can be cheap is stressed by the very existence of a debate based on the doubtful status of voting systems in use.)

I used the expression «best decisions» quoting you, but if you replaced that with "better decisions", or "best possible decisions given the circumstances", you have a different scenario, where the accent is on the attempt towards optimization as a goal. That goal, of efficiency, optimization, "doing things properly" etc. is explicitly demanded by many participants in the social contract. That different metrics and dimensions are there is exactly the game of "politics" (in terms of preferences). That different levels of possible quality exist in administration is entailed by the different quality of the members that may compose the administration: there is a difference between workers per job, even allowing ranking, so it is valid to say that there exist configurations in administration that are better than others, and it is valid to say that there can exist systems that achieve the goal of better configurations (instances, organigrams) of administrative bodies better than others. If, to give a very simple example, there may exist better snapshots than "Pierce, Buchanan, A. Johnson", than there may exist selection system that minimize this occurrences and maximize the better ones - otherwise, one would fall in a relativism to which I do not subscribe.

To define such selection system, I would surely go in the direction opposite to randomness (as a general principle - though it does work as a specific part of some procedures).
According to the CDC[1], as of September 15, there have been only 357 COVID deaths in individuals between the ages of 5 and 18 in the US. I think it's fair to assume that the majority of these involved children with pre-existing conditions.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics[2], as of September 9, even though children under the age of 18 now make up over a quarter of weekly COVID cases:

- "Among states reporting, children ranged from 1.6%-4.0% of their total cumulated hospitalizations, and 0.1%-1.9% of all their child COVID-19 cases resulted in hospitalization"

- "Among states reporting, children were 0.00%-0.27% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 7 states reported zero child deaths"

- " In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03 of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death"

The Pfizer CEO's comment that "Since July, pediatric cases of COVID-19 have risen by about 240 percent in the U.S. — underscoring the public health need for vaccination" does not seem to be supported prima facie based on the hospitalization and death figures. The phrase "substantial threat" is hyperbole.

There could be an argument that vaccinating young children would help reduce transmission, but since we know that the Pfizer vaccine does not prevent infection and transmission in adults, approving the vaccine for young children without any meaningful data on how it affects transmission seems like overreach.

> getting concessions on not genociding the Uigurs

wouldn't this encourage future human-rights violations as "leverage" for concessions?
The graph is unparsable for me. Typically, for what I think is trying to be shown, you would put the requests per second on the x axis, you would put the response times on the y axis, and the color coding be to assign them a label of the framework. I'd probably use a line chart too since, as we increase rps, we expect a change in response time.

What the graph reads:

If my framework is beego and I want to get 30k rps, I would need to limit my data to processing times in the 0ms bucket. I think? Or maybe gin will allow for 7.5k rps if my processing time is 500ms?

Like, I think I can get to similar information to what you are trying to show if I read backwards, upside down, and rotated 90 degrees.
Yep. It can also convert PDFs into nice PNGs
By design I would suspect. Facebook is an informational black hole. Even the referrer links from there are useless.
What color would be better? Green seems like a poor choice when telling someone not to park there.. Yellow is already taken (loading zone). Blue is already taken (handicap). Orange is close to yellow, and is that even better in the dark?

Signs for every single red zone is overkill (there are red zones on the edge of garages for example).
Deliberate misreading of what I meant. No.
Also, artificial low rates are causing increased inflation of prices, which means cash buyers and buyers that would pay off their mortgage quicker are at a disadvantage.
What they should do is scrap the current system. Students should be able to enter med school straight out of HS. This is how it's done in Europe and their doctors are just as good as ours. The existing residency system should also be torn down. It is so exploitative that it had to be given a specific exemption from anti-trust laws to even be legal. Residents should instead be licensed as a junior level of doctor similar to a resident, but not locked into a single hospital. This way they can move around between hospitals which will have to compete over them on pay / benefits and work life balance. There should also be programs to allow lower level medical staff like nurses and physicians assistants to advance to doctor without having to lose 4 years income and spend a fortune on medical school.
