To individual blobs? Seems unlikely.

Posgres automatically compress large blobs, it's part of the TOAST system:

> The TOAST management code is triggered only when a row value to be stored in a table is wider than TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD bytes (normally 2 kB). The TOAST code will compress and/or move field values out-of-line until the row value is shorter than TOAST_TUPLE_TARGET bytes (also normally 2 kB, adjustable) or no more gains can be had.

So if a TOAST-able value is larger than TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD it'll get compressed (using pglz by default, from 14.0 LZ4 will finally be supported), and if it's still above TOAST_TUPLE_TARGET it'll get stored out-of-line (otherwise it gets stored inline).

Do you believe that, if the numbers had been reversed, and COVID was much more fatal to children and young people than it was to the old, lockdowns wouldn’t have happened? That seems to be the implication of your post, but I find it difficult to imagine that being the result.
Applications of Formal Methods in Computer Architecture
I agree with this for like 95-99% of people. I do think there are a few internally motivated students who will thrive in this environment. Obviously you can't make policy around those few, but it would be interesting to give students the option going forward now that there is some sort of infrastructure set up around remote learning. The primary issue I see is that a large group of very non-motivated students will probably take advantage of this option and just slack off even more. These are the ones that need the in person structure the most.

Overall though, agree that it has been a total disaster apart from being a rare learning opportunity for policy makers.
It solves the problem like 99% of the time in my experience. It's very rare that I have content with both single and double quotes.
It is rough. There are many ways that different tools put NAs, na, N/A, "", etc. in a file. To chose only "NA" would mean I would be excluding the output of other tools. I chose accessibility over specificity. #trade-offs.
When my kid was in lockdown I taught him math and science and now he does algebra at 5. Other kids his age were in lockdown getting beaten by their stepdads. I think the achievement gaps will be massive and that the lengths of these school lockdowns were a crime against a generation of kids. A society with restaurants open for sit down dining but schools closed has its priorities completely upside down.

Pretty sure there isn't, otherwise FAANG would enforce it top down. They already enforce other practices top down like hiring etc, so if they had data saying that mandating Scrum would make the company X% more efficient they would absolutely do it.

It might be a force multiplier in other types of companies, but it probably isn't in FAANG style companies. Similar to how FAANG hiring can make sense to them but still be bad for typical companies.
The largest industrial carbon capture facility we have built will mitigate ~3 seconds of global warming in a year. It won't get us anywhere without net zero emissions, even if we assume improvements of multiple orders of magnitude. Even a magic material that perfectly binds to atmospheric CO2 would require rounding up molecules in numbers I don't know the English for. This does open up the possibility of using the 1/3rd of arable land (26% of the terrestrial surface) being tied up growing feed as forests again, though. According to Current Affairs, re-foresting 70% of our terrestrial surface (not possible without drastic food production and consumption changes) would mitigate 1/10th of our global emissions. It's a lot of CO2 we're talking about, your car (if you have one) on average releases a metric ton of the stuff every 2000 miles.
I would classify it under "art" rather than "shitpost", but yeah.
It doesn't use the gzip file format, but it uses the gzip compression format (which is just DEFLATE).
I consider those merely informal groupings (like “regency”, “restoration”, or even “generation X”) as they have no (and never have had any) legal force.
This comment seems a bit flippant. The choice was distance learning (something) vs. close down schools entirely and... ban students from learning at all?

There was a pandemic and I think in many districts they made as good a switch to digital learning as they could and tried to be effective. Unfortunately we had a black swan event so its a bit disingenuous to act like "we never learn"
It's OK everyone, the government says there is no shortage, so there isn't one. That's how it works in the New Sovereign UK.

Huh. That's a lot more low level than I would have imagined. So now I'm curious, what does the distribution of outcomes look like? How much better is the best worker? Do you feel confident that the tasks are accurately and fairly scoped?

Actions speak louder than words. More than half the US states have updated their election laws after that election.

The winner of the election in question publicly admitted to "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics" That needs much more explaining than has been provided.

By Biden's own words, he's the most popular US president in history. This isn't Trump, this is Biden who created this problem.

No. It's a waste of money. Britain is a small country, you're not going to run out of fuel (ordinarily) on a trip and so it makes sense to keep the money in your pocket instead of turning it into fuel that's sat there doing nothing useful.

Also, it's very common to buy round amounts of value e.g. £30 of petrol, periodically, rather than just fill it up for however much that costs, for some people this makes it easier to think about from a budget point of view.
They could be referring to the Montessori method or the SpaceX school too. They have mixed age ranges and are less organized, understanding that kids learn at different paces and have different interests.

Why do I get the feeling that these "Parental Supervision Tools" is a ploy to force parents to make Instagram accounts, with all of the data harvesting that goes along with that? The alternative is to not make an Instagram for kids -- this approach uses the social pressure felt by kids to leverage parents into the next billion users...
I would need more details on what you mean by "pre-parsing". It works with any deliminator, it could be comma-separated, pipe-separated, etc.
> why does the programming language really matter if the tool built with it works to your satisfaction, and as intended?

Because the reason I'm looking to move away from ST4 is because I was disappointed with the features and pace/direction of development. I want an open source text editor that I can customize however I want (and possibly embed in my projects), so something written in a language I have no interest in and/or dislike isn't going to work for me.

Indeterminate impacts of long-covid on people, including children, also played a role in the extension of the initial lockdowns.
> I don't get Jira hate. It may be clunky, slow and overcomplicated

Ding ding ding!

Seriously though, I think a lot of issues with Jira stem from poor implementations that cause it to perform terribly, which impedes an engineer's ability to quickly get in and out of Jira. For example, the on-prem Jira instance for one of my clients would take upwards of five minutes to render the board, and another 30+ seconds to render the ticket page. Adding comments was another frustrating experience. I'm sure the OOTB experience with modern Jira is probably fine, but it seems that hardly anyone uses Jira without some resource-intensive customization.
Don’t use ”style” when you mean ”formatting”, frontenders can confuse it with CSS styling tasks.

Not the OP, and well, it's been a year and a half, but I regularly encountered unguided automotive cruise missiles in my morning drive down 237 in the bay area, with Tesla drivers being _particularly_ bad about sitting there playing with their phones.

> The indifference is mind-boggling as a parent

Imagine you were raised by parents who had unpleasant experiences with formal education and/or by parents who had an attitude themselves of "my kid isn't getting any use out of those six hours" anyway. That's often the mindset behind the attitude, not so much as that parents don't love their kids and want what they see is the best for them. (Of course there's plenty of abuse and full-on neglect motivating such absenteeism, too.)
The most recent release of OpenWRT has started to migrate to DSA: https://openwrt.org/releases/21.02/notes-21.02.0#initial_dsa...

Their table of supported hardware for each of the platforms now using DSA probably includes all of the most affordable devices, since OpenWRT is mostly focused on consumer-grade equipment (and mostly routers/APs, but they support some purpose-built switches using Realtek CPUs).
IMHO the best way to tackle this for technical documentation is to keep it close to the code. It will then share the same lifecycle (code update without corresponding docs update shouldn't happen and should be enforced via reviews) and has a higher chance of staying up to date.
That's based on C. elegans which I think that only has 902 neurons. Also I don't think they've ever cloned the state of a living worm, only the connectome. That itself is pretty cool but it seems like what Samsung is talking about would go pretty far beyond that.

I hate to admit it but the best tool I've used recently for this is Slack search.

You aren't alone brother. I grew up with rich and poor family, but chose the poor.

People who have never had to wonder if they were going to have a meal or a place to sleep as a child can never know how it can permanently change your life. I'm glad you are making strides, I still struggle to, so that's quite the accomplishment and you should be proud.

I don't think I will ever stop tallying my groceries as I put them in the basket. Or being surprised when my kids ask for something from the impulse ailse, I literally don't even see it I'm so used to not being able to get any of it.

I firmly believe if every person had to at least work a minimum wage job for a year and try to survive off it, our society would be so much better off, you wouldn't have to explain being poor to some privileged kid who has all the answers because it worked for them.

Half of the country will never know what it's like to be the other half, but one side has all the incentives to keep it that way.

I have family who still spout 'If I were born poor I'd still end up rich' (translation- poor people are just stupid, I'm smart).

I'm cheering you on, and you give me hope!

I commented about this easily and obviously noticeable change based on anecdotal observations on HN late last year. Even simply observations of politicians getting away with not practicing their own guidelines and sending their own kids to private tutors while locking down everyone else should have woken up people. I got a lot of negative comments ranging from how I was advocating for putting kids and their elderly parents at risk and what not. It’s like everyone has completely forgotten about all the other side effects and have tunnel vision of covid only.
Last week, CDC came out showing how the obesity rates in youth has doubled during the pandemic. All these decisions will have long term consequences which people get silenced over.
It could change, and therefore break, the real-world behavior of a given parser that some code is knowingly or unknowingly relying on.
Part of the problem in the UK is limited gas storage capacity. Another problem is the slow adoption of wind and solar generally. A third is the slow pace of construction of interconnects between the various national grids. The arguments about solar not being available at night and the wind not always blowing would be mitigated if we could more easily transport energy to where it is needed.

The crisis, if it really is one, is mostly caused by blinkered politicians and short term business thinking.

But you are right in a sense; Russia is just making it clear that they can turn off, or change the price of, the gas supply whenever they feel like it which makes the idea of being even more reliant on it rather scary to me.

My sole experience in Big Tech consists of Facebook and the post more or less matches what I saw there. It seems to me, though, that the author views "no process" from a very positive lens, with no discussion of negatives. Like how at FB so many teams use spreadsheets to track their work (sometimes multiple spreadsheets per team, sometimes no tracking at all). There is some internal tooling, which is quite basic and at the time I was there it got deprecated without the replacement being finished yet. Whatever you say about JIRA, it can handle complex projects way better than a spreadsheet.

My biggest issue with the whole thing, however, boiled down to the set of incentives that centered around individual performance. You see, the teams weren't _teams_ per se, but a collection of individuals working on their own projects, sometimes related to those of other teammates, sometimes not. A team-oriented process like Scrum or Kanban cannot survive in an environment where every person is optimizing every decision for their advancement/bonus/whatever. There's some exaggeration here, but I definitely saw a lot of this at FB. Having come from a company with high-functioning Scrum and Kanban teams that worked together to achieve a common goal, I'd choose that any day, JIRA or not.

This is obviously a single example and many of the issues were Facebook-specific. But I bet there are other, not so positive, sides to the "no process" story at the rest of the companies.

Note I'm not claiming that the Agile processes are by definition good. I've seen plenty of bad implementations as well. At the end of the day, every group of humans is different and may require a different process (or no process at all) to maximize their success. What I'm suspicious of is the "every team picks their own process" claim, having seen company-set norms exerting enough force to make deviations from the common pattern rather painful and counter-cultural.

Generally good advice there- Some products have price sensitivity among buyers that stops them from maintaining margins when the environment is too high cost. If you can’t go upscale, you’re going to have to cut costs to the bone and/or leverage scale economics.
And there's not really an age where this stops either. Socialization is an ongoing life-long process. I'm sure all the exceptions will be in my replies but we need social interaction in order to not go crazy. And with our shitty hyper-individualistic culture, work and school is the only non-parasocial human interaction a lot of people get.

Yes, for sure in that situation the staff shortage and backlog of students have made a system that is difficult to navigate in normal times essentially intractable.
I can talk a bit about private schools.

Many of them adapted quickly. Outdoor classrooms, meeting at parks. Tons of flexibility from teachers / staff. Very quick remodels of spaces - ie, take a wall out of a classroom so it open straight outside with a rolling door etc, very high levels of ventilation. Some doing weekly testing - test on Thursday, turn in Friday, results by Sunday to make decisions on stay at home / come in. Vaccine mandates for all adult staff.

In other words, for parents of private school students, the value of in-person learning is clear, and the schools are delivering it.

The risk in an outdoor classroom, students and teachers masked, teachers vaccinated, is relatively minimal. Student viral load in terms of spread is not so high either from what I've heard. Even inside, with in and out fans running, significant ventilation I'm not sure risk is as terrible as its made out to be.

We'll see how this all plays out. From what I've seen, those kids are doing great (and yes, camping trips replaced sleepovers etc in these families - but their kids remaining socially engaged with friends etc).

Copyright and trademarks are generally good and should continue with some reforms. AI tools should not get credit as you point out.

Patents though are a disaster for humanity and are used to create corrupt monopolies that overcharge by many billions of dollars because they have no competition. Further patents stop new innovation because companies like Boeing own all the patents related to flying commercially viable airplanes. You might have a good idea for a new airplane company, but you can't do it because Boeing owns all the patents on everything that you will need to build a flying plane.

What it sounds like is that in BigGo, exposure matters a lot, which is not very surprising. At scale, people pushing their own agenda might come at odds with what the consumers want.

It obviously sounds like a flawed incentive system, but it begs the question: What else works at such a gigantic scale? Is there any BigTech where Exposure Driven Development isn’t dominating?
