Yes, this. I enjoyed the blog post. It was an easy read, the idea is intriguing, it linked to a related paper. I found the plug for the company mildly offputting, and decided to see if the author was someone actively working in this space.

I don't think anyone needs credentials to have an interesting idea, but it's laughable that someone with no lab or research or business experience is an actual player in this space. I guess people can invest in him if they want. The idea that he's fundraising for human trials is laughable.

For all meetings, I think it helps to evaluate on an ongoing basis:

1)what the meeting is for (ie the goal of the meeting)

2)whether a meeting is actually the best way to achieve that goal and if so, who actually needs to be there to achieve that goal

3)whether the meeting on an ongoing basis is achieving the goal and if not, why not

In my experience a lot of daily standups degenerate into being a very inefficient "serial hub-and-spoke" information-sharing where one dominant boss person asks each person in turn a series of questions and everyone else shuts off their brain until it's their turn. It's a tremendous waste of everyone's time and just there to stoke the overinflated ego of the person running the meeting.
One common 2FA method is TOTP (time-based, one time password). Bitwarden [0] is a password/secrets manager that you can host yourself. It supports TOTP so you can just use that instead of a separate app like Google Authenticator or Authy. I would not recommend this personally as if you expose your master password for bitwarden, you've also made it possible for the attacker to sign in via 2FA... which normally would require access to your phone or backup keys. But it is more convenient.

Basically, people should be using password managers by this point. I recommend bitwarden because you can host it yourself, it's good for storing other secrets, and it has browser plugins/apps.

Key quote from the article:

> Overall, although some TimescaleDB queries became faster by enabling compression but many others became bit slower probably due to decompression overhead. This may be the reason why TimescaleDB disable compression by default

This matches my experience: ClickHouse is generally faster, and a better solution for time series (more robust, more mature, ...) unless you have a highly specific set of constrains (ex: must be able to delete individual records, ...) and sacrificing performance for them is an acceptable tradeoff.

I have no doubt that, as usual, akulkarni will make a good PR job / community outreach to explain why, numbers and experience be damned, TimescaleDB is better!

But I suggest interested readers check the history of previous "creative engineering" around tests that has been done to make TimescaleDB come out ahead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28945903

In 99% of the case, ClickHouse is the right choice, especially if you care about the license not adding too many restrictions.

Unless you truly want to uphold the property "the something I have is not the something that stores my passwords" (you likely don't), your two factor codes should be in your password manager. Period. A good password manager has a strong user/device PKI backed by an offline key and will only be accessible on devices you've bootstrapped, so it's isomorphic to "something I have" at least and usually exactly equal to "somethings I have". And if you are a security nut trying to uphold that property and telling people it's bad to put your TOTP urls in your password manager... you better not have an authenticator app installed on the same device as your password manager or you've thrown that property out the window. Not saying it's never appropriate to have a true second factor. Just that it's not appropriate for 99% of consumer use cases and the security setup and structure afforded by password managers is more than sufficient to have good account hygiene. It would be a better world if everyone used a password manager and stored their totp codes in it than everyone has a hodgepodge of authentication apps that aren't reliable and break and cause services to implement manual verification backdoor loopholes into their auth anyway etc. etc. TOTP 2FA defends against weak passwords. A password manager enables strong passwords largely making TOTP irrelevant. Unfortunately not everyone uses a password manager and thus services are compelled to add TOTP 2FA because what other choice do they have?
>I often wonder what would happen if they removed all parking from one side of the street to make long loading-only lanes, and strictly enforced it to prevent people from stopping on both sides.

They do this a lot in midtown - commercial only parking during business hours to allow loading/unloading AND you don't need the cops to enforce it because the traffic enforcement people can just write tickets
"An independent British-American group, the Iraq Body Count project (IBC project) compiles reported Iraqi civilian deaths resulting from war since the 2003 invasion and ensuing insurgency and civil war, including those caused directly by coalition military action, Iraqi military actions, the Iraqi insurgency, and those resulting from excess crime. The IBC maintains that the occupying authority has a responsibility to prevent these deaths under international law.

The IBC project has recorded a range of at least 185,194 – 208,167 total violent civilian deaths through June 2020 in their database.[8][19] The Iraq Body Count (IBC) project records its numbers based on a "comprehensive survey of commercial media and NGO-based reports, along with official records that have been released into the public sphere. Reports range from specific, incident based accounts to figures from hospitals, morgues, and other documentary data-gathering agencies." The IBC was also given access to the WikiLeaks disclosures of the Iraq War Logs.[9][87]

Iraq Body Count project data shows that the type of attack that resulted in the most civilian deaths was execution after abduction or capture. These accounted for 33% of civilian deaths and were overwhelmingly carried out by unknown actors including insurgents, sectarian militias and criminals. 29% of these deaths involved torture. The following most common causes of death were small arms gunfire at 20%, suicide bombs at 14%, vehicle bombs at 9%, roadside bombs at 5%, and air attacks at 5%.[88]

The IBC project, reported that by the end of the major combat phase of the invasion period up to April 30, 2003, 7,419 civilians had been killed, primarily by U.S. air-and-ground forces.[8][86]

So about 7k directly attributable to US forces, a very large multiple of that due to instability, insurgency, and crimes. I'm not sure that's the most fair take on US culpability vs CPC direct action against Uyghurs .
But that would take about a billion years, with all the variations and edge cases.

In fact, inflation was pretty bad under Nixon (5.8%) and Ford (11.05%) with some up and down. Nixon even instituted price controls in 1970. Carter inherited that economy. He didn't fix it (well, arguably his Fed Chair Paul Volcker did) but he inherited it.

Carter and Reagan were polar opposites. Carter was a fiscal conservative and Reagan was a spendthrift. Reagan was when the deficit floodgates opened. We've repeated this fiscally conservative Democrat followed by spendthrift Republican ever since.

Carter $70B deficit
Reagan $175B
Bush $350B
Clinton $0B
Bush $1.4T
Obama $600B
Yeah -- in article, the author seems to pretty consistently get it right. I almost wonder if it is something where the title is written by somebody else. For example, IIRC this sort of thing has lead to a couple head-scratchers of a title at Ars Technica, a place with pretty good writing in general...
If "no update" is a common report, then maybe that should be accepted as a reasonable update. If that is a frequent update then an experiment should be done. Get rid of the standup for a quarter and see what changes - positive or negative - come about.

Sometimes things progress without any surprises or blockers. A meeting just for the sake of having a meeting seems like a waste of time and effort.

> Real BS.

I'd say there is no labor shortage, only a exploitable labor shortage.

Employers who respect their employees, offer decent salaries, and adequate working conditions don't have a problem attracting candidates.

Somehow the businesses we see whining about their employees quitting in droves and having a hard time replacing them sound awfully nightmarish and highly disrespectful and outright abusive of their current and former staff.

A telltale sign is how this class of employers are blaming unemployment benefits and relief payments for eliminating their leverage over the poor souls who felt obligated to tolerate these jobs, and how they are no longer able to coerce them into falling in line.
This is quite interesting! Thanks for sharing! So might it be that a species, as a whole, benefits from carrying around a certain amount of “spandrels”? A genetic insurance policy of sorts to protect against/quickly adapt to unforeseen changes? Has there been any research into the prevalence (or absence) of spandrels in species that have gone extinct?

It's a very well-understood aspect of the financial industry that banks use a combination of in-house departments and outside providers to perform background research on their clients. The depth and breadth of this research depends on the size of the financial relationship. Things like searching for domestic and foreign news articles that mention the client, and particularly flagging any that indicate a suspect business history or suspect relationships, is basically a minimum requirement for a significant client under today's AML/KYC framework. It's almost explicitly required since there are regulatory requirements pertaining to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and the standards for identification of PEPs directly relate to public profile. i.e. if you are frequently mentioned in the newspaper, even purely positively, a bank is going to have to perform additional diligence.

Since checking all manner of sanction, exclusion, risk, etc. lists published by the government is trivially automatable it is basically a minimum standard, and even the simplest KYC systems are going to flag customers that appear on any of these. For more significant clients additional databases and analyst resources will be used that are likely to uncover a relationship with such entities, especially a simple and easy to check one like prior employment.

This is a world with few black and white rules, and banks are mostly not outright prohibited from providing services to high-risk customers. But higher and higher levels of approval will be required, and the bank will have to go into the situation knowing that they will incur extra costs in terms of analyst time, compliance work, and ultimately liability of potentially huge amounts of money. It will be difficult, although maybe not impossible, to convince a bank to work with you. Everything will end up costing you more. You will have to be very cautious because banks will sometimes change their risk evaluations and decide to terminate the relationship, and you will have to figure out how to start your banking relationship over somewhere else.

While all of this is required under various laws (federally things like the BSA, PATRIOT act, etc), statutes are intentionally vague about the requirements both because banks are encouraged (and pretty much required) to perform internal research and development to improve their AML/KYC methods, and because the system operates in part on secrecy - bank clients need to not know how AML/KYC analysis works in much detail or they may find a way to structure around it. Banks also share information with each other and with governments, much of which is done under strict confidentiality agreements for several different reasons.

Banks that get this wrong can lose hundreds of millions and occasionally even billions of dollars, so there's a lot of hesitance to take on risk. It's also generally perceived that enforcement is becoming more aggressive over time, not less.
> Oh right, I'm dealing with someone who believes in the "free market"

I don't believe in absolute free market as defined by capitalism. Case in point: I do not deal with interest (usury), as it is prohibited in my faith. There are also some other red lines which I will not get into here, as it is not the subject of discussion. I'm happy to go into them more though if someone is curious. As such, no, it is not your typical capitalistic position.

> Can you give us a good solution to keep the price of bread from rising above the ability for impoverished people to purchase it over government induced inflation?

Yes. In Islam, we have something called Zakat, a form of "wealth tax" if you will. Its proceedings go to impoverished people, among others. It has been documented that in Iraq during the Ummayad period, there were no poor people left to even accept Zakat, after everyone was paying their share.

Of course we still need to handle the root cause: move to a currency that is not bound to interest that keeps growing, and the government can print money at will, devaluing everyone's hard work in an instant.
oh I'm absolutely not saying this is a good idea. But what I am saying is that it could become politically feasible if tons of money gets poured into self-driving vehicles and they slowly chip away at "open" use of public streets.

Disclosure: Former Red Hatter but didn't work on RHEL

IMHO yes RHEL still matters a lot, maybe more than ever. While there is no doubt a focus on being a rock-solid long-lived the host OS, a lot of people do use RHEL in the container as well. The value of the software collection (rhscl) is still really high, and as a bonus when you do that, Red Hat guarantees compatibility so will fix it if it doesn't work. For people that don't use rhscl there is also the Red Hat universal base image which is free to use and is fully redistributable.

Does an individual developer care as much about the host OS? No I wouldn't think so.
Government induced inflation is a useful tool for controlling food prices and other economic concerns.

Luau Goes Open Source
I see a lot of really divergent results with these time series database benchmarking posts.
Timescale's open source benchmark suite[0] is a great contribution towards making different software comparable, but it seems like the tasks/metrics heavily favor TimescaleDB.

This article has Clickhouse more-or-less spanking TimescaleDB, but the blog post it references[1] is basically the reverse.
Are the use cases just that different?

Once you are talking about double/triple buffering every client, you are getting into an area where there are accelerated graphics and where fullscreen compositing isn't going to be a performance issue. Of course Wayland doesn't "solve" it but it does remove the old slow code paths. If you're on an SoC with a GPU then you want to use it as much as you can otherwise you are wasting CPU.

The rest of your comment doesn't really make any sense to me. Somebody could make X12 but I'm sure you understand that doing that would have all the same technical/organization challenges as Wayland. I don't know why you would think making an incompatible fork of the X server and then trying to convince everyone to use it is a simple endeavor, it's not. There is zero will to actually do that, I've heard similar suggestions to make X12 for the last 15-20 years, and nobody has ever cared enough to do it because the only reason anyone ever uses X is for compatibility with old software. Once you take that away, there's nothing left. The closest existing thing to an X12 is, well you guessed it, Wayland.
Having few features that are small and knowable is pretty much the idea behind Zig though. It's supposed to be more of a C replacement than another C++/Rust.
If you know C you can just read through the Zig language spec and see how stuff correlates and you just learned zig.

Removing a whole secondary language for macros actually just makes the language simpler
Ya would have to agree. That far upstate NY, it's a different game.

Ok, one reality I find this does not address is that not all of us have a nice silent space to work in, and most Mic's don't perform well in that space.

In my case, I live in a one room Studio Loft with my wife, who is in meetings all day and is quite a loud speaker. Pretty much any boom/desktop Mic I've tried is also really good at picking her up.

My current workaround is to use a unidirectional headset microphone[1], But would love other ideas, as cable management is a bit cumbersome.
