What is the difference w.r.t the comparison done by Altinity of clickhouse with timescale ? Clickhouse performed better there for the same test. What gives ?
I don't like how you presented your argument. You make it sound like trade schools, with real practical skills like plumbing, involve neither learning nor growing.

Similarly, critical thinking should be learned long before college age. If you're learning that during college, you've got a very late start.

Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's pretty much what you've written.
To follow Steve's comment:

> Until Rust 1.53, only references to arrays implement IntoIterator. This means you can iterate over &[1, 2, 3] and &mut [1, 2, 3], but not over [1, 2, 3] directly.

...now, you can also iterate over [1, 2, 3] etc.

Excessive money printing that also happened under an R admin? Freedom reducing laws like laws that limit the freedom to access a safe abortion? Or laws that limit the freedom to vote? What freedoms specifically?

Increased taxes for who? Taxes were massively cut for wealthy people a couple years ago and the only proposal to raise them that got any traction recently didn’t even raise them back to the previous level - still a net cut.

Also, Covid is a big deal for the families of the 600k dead from it directly and the unknown number indirectly due to inability to access medical services. Just because it didn’t affect you personally doesn’t mean it’s not a real problem.

I took it seriously as well, realized it probably wouldn’t kill me, but still followed precautions so as to avoid hurting others who would most likely have died or gotten seriously ill. I feel like that’s a pretty minimum requirement for a functioning society - compassion for others, who are not in your exact situation.

Sorry, still doesn’t mean that the quantity that you’re averaging (position on the left-right political spectrum?) will be normally distributed. In fact, it almost certainly won’t be. But it’s a common error.
Newer versions of JavaScript do not break compatibility with older versions, whereas different editions of Rust break compatibility in various ways while still allowing interoperability between libraries written in different editions. That makes the two approaches very different.

Facebook ‘whistleblower’ Frances Haugen represented by US intelligence insiders
Strongly agree - a blog post usually gets padded with tons of filler for SEO; and is prepended with 3 paragraphs of some "backstory" from the author's life as to why XYZ is now relevant or useful.

Twitter forces succinct and disposable thoughts.

Similarly, I would sooner read Twitter the rest of my life than ever touch another business book which are all glued together compilations of blog posts and/or the author's re-hash of research of 100+ academic papers. I mean, it's sort of understandable things have went this way; any original business thought of substantial merit has already been written about probably pre-1995. Twitter is good for catching the few little new age nuggets without re-reading 300 page books of the same drivel.
well, a lot of these people could not afford college, so they send a ton of their time dismantling the system that they feel has rejected them. but, like you implied, it comes from a failed governments action on making college obtainable and desirable to the average blue collar worker. i’ve lived in the bible belt before, college was actually not talked about and then later on discouraged there, when i finally got out of that headspace and decided to go to college, a lot of people who were younger than i was who were attending college kind of treated me like i was a second class citizen and not serious about my life for waiting this long to get into college, yet i spent most of my time doing jobs to service white collar persons. jobs that otherwise would have not been done if everyone decided to go to college. so, i don’t know. the stereo type has to be broken both ways, because there is a growing intolerance that is dividing america even more so than when i was a kid. i am now living in a state with the most amount of college educated people in the us, and i still run into people who are extremely disconnected from the average american to the point where they look down on them with their rhetoric, i do not think that is healthy at all and like i said, it has become a social disease of sorts. but all of this starts at the top, with leaders that you mentioned and quite frankly, a decent portion of democrats as well.
> You can construct an argument that we never landed on the moon if you cherry pick your data carefully.

This is a really nice, concise way to make the point you are making. Doesn't it seem like this is the central problem with politics today? Everyone has their own data and everyone is logical. You can't have a functional discussion under such scenario. People don't see any problem with their own logic because there isn't any. People can't definitively show a problem with the other's logic because there isn't any.
Ah yes the "flexibility" and "ingenuity" to declare you don't need RADAR (my mistake, not LIDAR as I originally wrote) anyway, supply chain problem fixed!
The entire point of what I was saying is that math that doesn't connect to reality isn't beautiful.

There's beauty in figuring out the exact shape a hanging rope takes just by thinking about it.

When I say "do" math, I mean "come up with new math".

People use math (..and fund math) because you can't build bridges without it, but people do math because it's beautiful.

I'm not saying you are wrong in this particular case (As I know nothing about the particulars of vaccine distribution in your state), but this has been the case across the entire country, red and blue. At a rough approximation, vaccines were distributed more or less equally across rural and urban areas, but due to high demand in urban areas, there were long wait lists in them.

Privacy issues aside, identity is a huge problem in financial services. Not surprised that investments in this space are going far afield to meet this need. The most problematic aspect here: "crypto startup has one of the more comically rigorous user acquisition flows, licensing their Orb cameras to contractors across the globe who manually go through the person of verifying each and every new user on the network in every city of every country on every continent of the globe". This means a major up front investment in hardware likely to be outdated, damaged, vandalized, etc. very quickly alongside a major investment in physical human resources. Biometrics for identity in finance feels like the right direction, but this doesn't feel like the right answer.
The Man Who Harmed the World the Most

A review of the research covering a fair number of human and animal studies and proposed mechanisms. I feel like the twitter thread above is missing a bit of context, this isn't just a couple of studies.
Moderna, and most other manufacturers, received direct grant funding for both research and manufacturing through Operation Warp Speed via the CARES Act.

I misspoke when I said Pfizer received that funding however, they only received an advance purchase agreement (which is not cash, but it does have a value even before maturation).

Companies use advance purchase agreements as collateral for loans and other grant funding.

It's also notable that Pfizer/BioNTech did receive grant money from other governments, up front.
Since there are a only a handful of orbs floating around I assume you have to save your eye hash to a phone or other device to make your wallet usable day to day. So what exactly is the point of the whole hash since it's only created and verified once at the time of wallet creation? What's to stop me from picking up my friend's phone that they accidentally left on my couch and sending all their orb bucks to my account? This just seems like silly security theater.
I'm not sure how this is a counter-example of students being taught to think critically. Are you saying you did not think critically in your thesis but passed anyway?
Right, thanks. Don't get me wrong, I like Haskell (though haven't got good at it yet; keep getting lost somewhere between fmap and applicatives/monads).

However, I prefer the comprehension and `do` version over your `fmap` expression. The reason is that I think that filtering and transforming a stream is sufficiently common/important that a language should provide declarative syntax / a DSL for it. Whereas your `fmap` version makes too many implementation details explicit: all that should be needed is for the programmer to say "lazily filter and transform these values". I think it would be ideal for the programmer not to have to worry about `fmap` and `$`, and I think the expression should read more naturally than your fmap example.

The Python and Haskell comprehension versions pass the "read naturally" test very well: "create a set/stream of manipulated items where the items pass the filter".

The Haskell `fmap` version reads as "apply the manipulate function to a functor where, oh by the way the functor is a kind of list, and oh by the way use $ to separate arguments in this expression, but as I was saying do that but filter the list first".

EDIT: I don't mean to imply that I know how Haskell should be written, I defer to you; the sophistication of Haskell's functor-related abstractions is such that I bet you're right that the special case syntax of a comprehension is kind of an annoying presence in the language (but that still leaves two ways to do it?). But, we were talking about javascript and there I think it makes a lot of sense to give the world a way to construct collections declaratively.
I've alternated on and off eating breakfast a few times in my life almost entirely by accident. Once I go a few days without breakfast, assuming I am eating enough around dinner time, I stop getting my morning hunger. I'm back to eating breakfast, but I'm confident I could switch off again if I made the conscience decision to eat a bit more for dinner and take my lunch a bit earlier (I normally eat lunch around 2pm and dinner around 6-7pm).
You literally just indicated that anonymity is important. Freelancers could publish under a pseudonym - a form of anonymity to protect themselves from the public.

And I mean, there was that one time that some dude, in person at a press conference threw a shoe at George W. Bush, the President of the United States of America, he wasn't anonymous, and what level of force could've been deployed as recourse ran up to death, evidently not adequate disincentive.

I can make a victim out of myself by a few alterations in my personal narrative. I choose not to.
ClickHouse shines at scales that timescale has no hope of ever supporting. Hence the choice of workloads in the test. Cloudflare was ingesting 6,000,000 rows per second into 36 node (dual E5-2630) ClickHouse cluster (2018) was something like 20PB of data per year.

Yeah i think in the spirit of “write every day” and “ship often”, twitter allows you to go from single tweets to threads in an instant, vs a blog where you might agonize over whether it’s ready to publish or not.
It's okay for people to vote D on some issues and R on some other issues. That's pretty much an inevitability for any person with diverse views in a two-party system.

Besides, at the end of the day, how different are the two sides? One party wants to prosecute a reporter who found a site vulnerability, and the other party wants to prosecute the man who exposed the world to the dragnet surveillance being conducted by the NSA.
Adjusted for each company's market capitalization, this is the equivalent of Google ($1.9T market cap) directly injecting ~$290,000,000 into the hands of open source maintainers.

I think instead of getting fixated on the dollar value and its impact, it's more meaningful to think about the message this sends. $2k/engineer is a more meaningful metric.

You've no guarantees that your local'ish data centre is going to be hop-wise, route-wise and peering-wise any better than a DC 1500 miles away, in relation to your home or office ISP.
I think the name originally came from company/project origin and how the whole thing started... Recently set up as their own entity, ClickHouse came from Yandex. There are probably others better able to give that history, but that's the gist of it.
> Do you expect people to pretend the trend isn't happening in order to comfort you?

This is a strawman. The parent was saying that in order to have an effect and convince people, you shouldnt alienate them. You can do this without lying or ignoring things that are happening. In fact, the people you're most likely able to convince are people in the middle and by alienating them you're actually causing the trend that you're denouncing.

> What does it say about your own values that they are so loosely held that you'd sacrifice them out of contempt like this?

This is just a straight ad hominem. I thought we were supposed to be above these sorts of things on hn.

You clearly don’t understand modern crypto. No, I don’t mean the tech, I mean the business of the buzzword. Here:

Step 1: create a blockchain.

Step 2: add some weird twist. Maybe each token represents an acorn of an oak so that we can save the planet by planting more oaks.

Step 3: hold onto most of the tokens yourself but give away a bunch to kickstart the economy of your coin and give it some minimal value.

Step 4: get Coinbase to pick up your coin to increase its value.

Step 5: sell your coins and profit while providing absolutely no value to anyone.
No plans to - our focus is on helping folks improve their product quality. I guess you could probably use it for that if you wished, but it's really not optimized for extracting data from pages.
I wonder if it's worth taking a page out of the MongoDB book and enabling these kinds of benchmark altering settings by default. We certainly selected clickhouse over tailscale internally because of major performance differences in our internal testing that might have gone the other way had we "known better".

> Thus the slippery slope argument

That wasn't an argument I made though. I asked:

> Who gets to set the test?

Which gets to the core of the point. The current requirements are fixed in legal stone and nobody gets to alter them. They aren't being [ab]used for political advantage.

People on here are proposing arbitrary ability tests that [someone] gets to create and alter using [some] undefined methodology.

You combine that with the history of ability-based testing (which, incidentally none of the existing requirements are) and it leaves a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.
I don't think you would if your upfront goal was "telemetry" and you actually evaluated solutions for that. But if you had the Sentry pipeline in place already for crash reports, it would be very easy to slide into using it for tracking other kinds of custom events.
Specialized non-consumer accessible hardware is a huge stumbling block for these types of solutions.
Yes, I agree. GDP is a very rough measure. I'd prefer PPP, but I couldn't find it for individual states after a cursory search. (I still think most readers will be surprised by Alabama's GDP, relative to wealthy European nations, so it's not totally useless.)
>You're alienating people like me from being on your side.

You're alienating yourself by following reactionary impulses in response to true statements.

I'm also honesty not sure how true this theory of reaction is generally. I'm sure it's true for some, but in many cases it functions as a rhetorical strategy to put people on the defensive who are making legitimate criticisms.

>But none of this was anti-science, nor did it have anything to do with COVID, and you've brought up both.

It's anti-intellectual, and therefore a pertinent comparison, and they used the term anti intellectual and covered all the necessary bases. The cultural and social forces driving both are the same, and here, again, I feel like saying "don't talk about this because it alienates me" is just a rhetorical strategy to put people on the defensive without addressing the merits of what they are saying.
If you have read Robert Anton Wilson, you're likely familiar with his idea of E Prime, which is essentially English without the identity form of "is". It's a mind bending notion to integrate. A lot of E Prime came from Science and Sanity.

An example is that saying "the book is blue" describes not a property of the book, but rather the interaction between my senses and the book, and a more "sane" way to say what is probably meant is "the book looks blue to me" so that the statement includes me and my senses in the interaction.
They're embarrassed to be seen supporting candidates that are so transparently anti-science, anti-education and anti-reason?
> We also have to remember that internationally, the standards for what is acceptable speech is wildly different, so de-anonymization can literally cause people to be imprisoned and/or killed.

That’s the one of the few rare cases where anonymity is important. Add whistlelowers etc. to the mix but these are edge cases that can have specialized mechanisms.

For many cases the default approach could be good enough though. Your identity will be encrypted in the system and when the moderators of a specific platform think that you are a trouble, they lock you and remove your content but they don’t know your identity. It’s up to you to unlock your account by revealing your identity.

So, you can simply post to places that are not hostile to you and you stay anonymous. Russians journalists can post to American forums for example.
Rulers can't be an expert in all the domains they oversee. Thus the test you speak of should be whether they can build a team of experts and harness that collective expertise to make good* decisions.

Alternatively you could pick the person who's decisions have most often turned out to be good* ones, and hope that they continue making good* decisions.

* For whatever you think is good.

The two big things, which we discuss at length in the post, are:

- Altinity (and others) did not enable compression in TimescaleDB (which converts data into columnar storage) and provides improvement in querying historical data because it can retrieve individual columns in compressed format similar to CH

- They didn't explore different batch sizes to help understand how each database is impacted at various batch sizes.

> makes people waste their best years

What do you mean "waste"? Just that they're building career capital instead of directly earning money? You've got your whole life to work, spending that time learning, meeting new people, and trying new things seems way less "wasteful" than just starting your career 4 years sooner. Plus it gives you time to figure out what you want to do, most 18-year-olds aren't really equipped to decide what they'll want to be doing when they're 50 and the value of starting a career sooner is greatly diminished if you just end up switching careers anyway.

> teaches them mainly, useless stuff

Meh, most knowledge is useless, but it's not always easy to determine which knowledge will be useful in advance. I thought my linguistics class was useless (though interesting) at the time, years later I went into data science, turns out linguistics is pretty important for NLP. Also, I think learning for the sake of learning is a Good Thing, even given that most knowledge is useless.

> barely breaks even in terms of lifetime earnings

Got a source for that? Cause last I checked, holders of even most "useless" degrees out-earn those with just a high school diploma by something like $15k/year, making them well worth it financially unless you pay the sticker price for a private or out-of-state school. For better or worse, there are a ton of decent jobs in the US that just require any college degree.

> and makes people bitter because they feel they are not valued by society the way they believe they should

I haven't seen that at all. I know people who are bitter because they have a ton of student debt and are struggling to pay it off, but I don't know anyone who expects to be put on a pedestal because they have a college degree, if anything they're bitter at their colleges and/or their high school guidance counselors. Also, those people are outliers in terms of their debt levels, the average new college graduate (among those who take out student loans) earns ~$55k and leaves with ~$30k in debt, which is very manageable almost everywhere in the US and probably puts them at a higher income (though with less wealth) than their peers who started plumbing apprenticeships at 18.
