> I honestly don't know what time-series databases do that's particularly unique.

I understand the "spirit" of your comment and I agree in general.

However something unique that comes to my mind about some TSDBs is automated aggregation of data points (using min/max/avg/whatever functions) into something less granular after that a metric's specific time becomes older than X.

By using a TSDB for example you'll be able to look at datapoints with a max resolution of 10 seconds for metrics collected during the past 7 days, but after that their max resolution will be (aggregated into) e.g. 60-seconds intervals, and so on.

I think that the theory behind it is that you're probably interested at the details for recent stuff, but the older the stuff gets the more you just want to look at the general trend without caring about the details. I can agree with that. In the end by doing these kinds of aggregations in theory everything should be faster & should use less storage (as for older data there are fewer data points).

This is how "Graphite/Carbon" ( https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html ) works.

I did use Graphite/Carbon for some years, but I didn't like a lot its architecture and had some performance problems => I've replaced it with Clickhouse (I'm not doing any kind of data aggregation) and that's using less space and is quicker (respectively it uses a lot less CPU & I/O) :)
What the fuck are these quotes?
There are functions starting with < and > so that's no good. And / and \ are already used elsewhere.
It has little to do with the line and a lot to do with who wants to build it. CMP probably polls below the DMV when it comes to customer satisfaction. Of course the answer to "we want to do a thing that makes us money but doesn't benefit you or harm you" is "haha GTFO".
I'm definitely familiar with Esri, they've been around a long time. Full time people are paid hourly though? Do people negotiate their own hourly rate or is it set?
At least on my Macs, if I rest my finger on the trackpad, without moving, thinking of where to move the cursor next... It doesn't register as a click. It acts exactly as expected: if I lift my finger, it still won't register as a click, and if I start gliding on the trackpad, it will register as mouse movements.
I'm one guy with a 7-figure ARR business. My tech is Stripe, Apache, Ruby CGI and CSV. Literally my database is a CSV file.

Maybe that's too boring. But I spend about 10 hours a year maintaining it. The bulk of my devops this year was moving to Let's Encrypt.
I heard that as well and it really detracted from the 'green' component of the project. Did HydroQuebec give any contractual guarantee that this would indeed be hydro-power and not just whatever's surplus in their grid?

> It's theatre, so it won't help actual security.

I would disagree, as we had a very good security program and when we went through ISO 27001, I would have to say that it ended up measurably better.

But if you don't have a security culture, then it will be theater. Dangerously so.
It is a political decision to weigh all the various and multiple "facts" and make a value judgement involving tradeoffs of which interests are prioritized and which are subordinated.

It is a political and value judgement to err on the side of minuscule improvement, if any at all, from wearing masks and mandating vaccines for cohorts that statistically don't need to worry about covid, while degrading the social development of children, and hurting the wider economic interests of people affected by endless restrictions. These are all political questions. There are no all encompassing "facts" that delineate who is harmed and who is helped and in what proportions. That is the realm of politics.
There is a school of thought that says that there almost no "Independents" in the USA at all, only people unwilling to use "Democratic" or "Republican" as a label, and that the overwhelming majority of them fall into the "almost-never-trump Republican" category.
> All of the most toxic work places I've been at had cheerleaders that would tell you it was amazing. I'm currently at a place (that I won't name) where I finally enjoy going to work again

These two statements made me realize the premise of this thread is flawed. Thanks for saving me some time.

> I fundamentally believe the job landscape now for developers is just systemically worse than it was a decade ago

I have this hunch as well. I tend to think it's because of proprietary monopoly platforms like iOS, AWS, etc forcing bad habits on everyone. Everything is so noisy these days.
> This room-for-indecision is totally fine if I'm using push-to-click, but tap-to-click doesn't let me just hang out with my finger touching the mouse cursor.

This works as expected on my Macs with tap to click turned on. see my other comment in this thread.
Seeds are cheap (~$10 USD/ea), whole ready to harvest plants are not (and hard-ish to estimate). If you grow inside the expensive part is the electricity. Indoor and outdoor both spend lots on labour for harvest/cure/trim processes (variable cost, hourly). Expensive equipment are things like CO2 extractors $XXX,XXX USD. So yea, seeds cheap, loads of other higher cost items to get ~$10/g flower on the shelf at your favourite retailer
Same way humans have always figured it out? They say it.
How would this help Maine’s economic conditions? The lease for the land was something like $4k/yr, would result in no permanent jobs, no power delivery to Maine, no lower rates, and was railroaded through by our last and very unpopular tea-party governor.

CMP is beyond hated in Maine too.

They need to bring something to the negotiation table IMO.
Do you mean you voted 'yes' to reject? :)
Hah, I posted this a about a week ago as well. I'm most delighted about anyone listening to this. It very much changed how I view the problem of homelessness in the US. Also the angle of this being caused by essentially messing with the market is fascinating to me.

I think his earlier expectation that without a greencard he was summarily rejected might be true. It's a lot of risk to assume of "the founder/entire team might be deported".

Other than that, I think you are correct he was reading too much into his demographics/education.

These numbers alone don't tell you much. Problems:

* The stock market is not the economy, so you just are weighing how well big corporations that choose to float are doing. E.g. Amazon workers paid next to nothing, and local store goes out of business, and all of this is good for the index.

* Adjust for inflation

* Adjust for risk tolerance

* Adjust for interest rates, and how stocks compete with savings

* Adjust for change in what are considered good P/E ratios

* Adjust for technological advances

* You didn't mention which index

To give an extreme silly example to make the point - imagine Amazon was the only stock, you look at the last 10 years, and your currency is Zimbabwe dollars.

I would say the stock market is a weighing machine, but what is weighs is complicated. You could double the stock market by printing money, or taxing regular savings at 1% of principal per year.
Daily status reports are really a special form of hell. There is no value in something so fine-grained except to the micromanager. It forces a daily interrupt that reduces productivity. Most painfully, it effectively prevents (heavily discourages, anyway) a deep dive into anything because you better have a snappy status report for tomorrow. No time for deep research, so all work becomes superficial.

Before agile and standups were the hip thing, the norm in all places I worked was to have a weekly team status meeting. Those were great. Weekly is about the right cadence for this type of meeting. It gives you four days to deep dive into technical work without worrying about status reports all the time. With a week, you end up having something meaningful to talk about and listen from others.
Better: a DC-DC converter that is designed for solar panels.
I agree with you, but it should be WAY faster than every 90 days. I'm trying to find articles that address the fact that NIST and others are worthless since they recommend every 1-2 years.

Selective enforcement is not a good outcome. Any police officer who doesn't enforce a law because they don't like it should be fired.
I wouldn't agree with that. It seemed like it was more like 20% of 27001.
That sounds like a really toxic way to handle the situation.
This must be one of them contradictory ideas which are so popular now. :D
Lemme guess- that 'school of thought' originates in one of the two major parties. Statistically, independents are the largest demographic by registration, so any further insight is based on various polls I'd assume?

Basically everyone close to me is independent (mostly in the 'leans' democrat category), generally despises both parties, and I know many people who have voted for candidates from different parties in back to back elections.
You can submit a paper to ISO WG21 concerning adoption of your favorite units library, but it won't ever be baked into the language, because it can be done as a library.

Meanwhile a randomly picked library can either roll its own solution or pick a suitable one. Presumably Boost Units is all but standard.

So homeless don't have free will ?
Perhaps. But if such conditions increase risk why is the government reluctant to promote that fact? What is gained in the lack of honesty and transparency?

Along the same lines, ingoring this differentiator has allowed the gov the take a heavy handed on size fits all approach. If the risk is targeted, why is the loss of rights applied to everyone?

Finally, this approach is now being used to jab the kids.

That isn't justice. In fact - whether anyone agrees or disagree s - it smells like textbook authoritarianism. In that context, we are all discarded.

Michael Shellenberger is an activist and author. He joins the podcast to talk about his book San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities. He discusses debates around homelessness in San Francisco, the ideology driving the homelessness advocacy community, how the West coast differs from the rest of the world in its treatment of mental illness and addiction, and whether there is hope of political change.

> Julia is pretty well regarded by people under her.

Not the impression I got after the hot reload disaster. I'm the person who raised the initial GitHub issue, and I talked to a handful of people high up in DevDiv off-the-record at the time.

People were very unhappy with the decision internally, concerns were raised, and she still went ahead with a decision that showed very poor judgment.
Absolutely.

The trick I love here is that there's almost zero interaction to the grift. The websites just sit there. There's no soft skills, no convincing of the mark. The soft skills are all on the website.

Stoichiometric mixture is only loosely connected to flamability.

You can have a stoichiometric mixture that will not be flammable because both reagents would be in right proportions but very diluted in the inert gas.

And a mixture that is very non-stoichiometric can still be very flammable, no problem. The extra gas most of the time performs the same role as inert gas -- dilutes the reagents and takes away energy from the reaction. There are exceptions, though, where you can have different results depending on the mix (for example your burning producing CO rather than CO2 because of abundance of carbon relative to oxygen in the mix).
For some reason, this warms my heart so much. I love it.

It would of course be better if they played a round of poker.
A lot of products offer longer warranties if you register. For example my ice maker comes with a 1 year warranty but registering within 30 days automatically extends that to two years. It's an under-counter unit that makes nugget (aka Sonic) ice and wasn't cheap so I registered.
Please don't take HN threads on off-topic flamewar tangents. Those are predictable, tedious, and usually turn nasty.

Voting no supports the corridor...
No, here's what the link you give actually says:

> Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million (Kleck, 2001a), in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008 (BJS, 2010). On the other hand, some scholars point to a radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual defensive uses based on the National Crime Victimization Survey (Cook et al., 1997). The variation in these numbers remains a controversy in the field. The estimate of 3 million defensive uses per year is based on an extrapolation from a small number of responses taken from more than 19 national surveys. The former estimate of 108,000 is difficult to interpret because respondents were not asked specifically about defensive gun use.
Yea, and I don’t know anyone from the area whose been called that and didn’t at least begrudgingly accept it. Sometimes the nicknames are accurate

In France (and broadly speaking, in Europe) you are better off negotiating net before taxes.

We have plenty of deductions from our gross that are compulsory, before getting to the net before taxes. It means that the x€ you hear is actually x€*0.6 or less.

Bringing the number down to what actually hits your taxes (and then your bank account) makes the proposal look less grandiose.
> When a carbon tax/madate is inevitably enforced

LOL, good luck with that. Hard to think of more unpopular legislation. You might as well say "When the United Nations High command forces the U.S. to increase its gasoline taxes". I mean, come on, we are not some small nation that can be pushed around.

BTW, this is how the progressive movements always marginalize themselves and get kicked out of any political power. Instead of advocating for R&D and cheaper alternatives that improve people's quality of life, they can't help themselves but bring out the club of eco-masochism paired with tax-sadism.
Third option: not use anything like that, because own solution is ugly and people dislike "unneeded" dependencies, especially Boost has a very split reputation.

Yeah, I’d only cite it if it was a critical part of the methodology for a particular paper, or in a didactic field. It’s good for them to have a citable paper, though.
I completely disagree with step 1:

> Learn the Basics...Ideally you should learn the basics of programming, but at the very least you should understand what different technology stacks are used for.

This is the entire problem with tech recruiters: that they try to act as if they understand something about programming and software engineering. They don't, and the more they try to pretend they do, the more embarrassing they are.

So what they should do is the opposite: contact us, with the explicit understanding that they don't know our technical domain, but that they are hoping to match us up with an employer. Then at least we can have conversations based on mutual respect.

Is this the first time this has happened?

Let's ignore the privacy and consumer rights implications of what you're proposing for a second. Is the cost of adding remote tracking and disabling capability to every EVGA video card worth it? How does that impact their ORM customers knowing that they're now on the hook for any security failure EVGA has? They could introduce a vulnerability far worse than anything they prevent. Any hacker that compromises EVGA's remote kill switch keys could now hijack their entire user base.

So EVGA loses a truckload of hardware in a theft in an event so rare that the fact that it happens makes the front page of hackernews. Unless this starts to be a pattern, it makes far more sense for them to file an insurance claim and write off the loss than to try a risky technical solution - which might not even work, given that hackers are really good at bypassing DRM solutions anyway.
I've given up on the semantics of "ray-tracing", everyone has their own opinion. However it's fairly common for "ray-casting" to mean non-recursive, and the wiki article you link explicitly says this.

I think the biggest difference between ray-type algorithms is everything vs ray-marching, because regardless of recursion, and strategies towards lighting, texture sampling and physical realism, with ray-marching a single ray is not really a ray at all but lots of little line segments, and you don't usually bother finding explicit and intersections which gets really complex and expensive... that's the whole point, instead you find proximity or depth, which means you can render implicit surfaces like fractals.
There's nothing wrong with voting in your own interest. That's what politics is for - it's an ersatz process for trying to find Coase conditions. If you think it's doing a bad job of making a utilitarian calculation, you're probably right, and you should see if you can replace it with a market.
That's fair! I think you can get a lot of that from modern frameworks, provided you are willing to stick to their conventions and never deviate.

It's been my experience that sooner or later, every app has a reason to deviate. Maybe you wind up constructing a large analytical query as a string because nobody loves joining a dozen tables in an ORM. Maybe you find yourself stuck at a vulnerable version of a package because that branch has been EoL'd and the patched versions require major logic reworking.

So I think you're right - you can get a lot of the tools to be compatible with many of these items from a framework. I'm just not so sure about how much of that is automatically inheritable by an actual working app.
This always were a problem, but somehow it is getting bigger.

I worked on a project that used used Flow 3 years or so ago. Unless something has changed since then, it was crazy fast.

This is my deepest regret of leaving Flow.
