Stop what?? What are you talking about? Did you read @sqlite’s comment? “To alter that transaction after the fact is akin to felony fraud.” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29133758 @SQLite literally said editing code history should be considered “akin to” a felony. It seems like you’re misunderstanding me because you’re misunderstanding @SQLite.
For me scrolling just doesn't work at all...
I'd like to expand on your last point. I was trying to sit down and dedicate whole hours to certain things, but I found that it just burned out my attention even faster, and then I could only do two, three hours max before I had to take a break, which of course spirals into a two or three hour break before you realize. This lead me to work more on a pomodoro schedule, where I dedicate 20-40 minutes to one thing, and one thing only. Then I have a three to five minute break, then I start on the next thing. If I don't know what to work on next, then the next work block is to figure out the next couple work blocks. I can work this schedule for about four or five hours, which is enough time to get to lunch, or to take a longer break.
> Why does a person invest in land? Because they expect something to flourish in the vicinity of their land, and they'll be able to capture some of that increased productivity in the form of rent (or appreciation).

Most people buying land are not doing it as a speculative investment. There are many who buy real estate as an investment, but most people buy real estate for personal use. Even those who buy real estate as an investment they typically make money from improvements whether that’s farming or residential.
SQL focuses on the plural set of tuples. I want fields and indices. Joins and types on the fields are part and parcel of the engine.

NoSql focuses on individial key/value pairs. Indices and types and joins have to be stapled onto the opaque value.

SQL is more mature and general. NoSql has its place. Eningeering is grasping the virtues of both and implementing what is appropriate.

Convergence is going to land on the SQL side.
Look at my next comment.

The doc clearly goes over a lot of crazy ideas. But one of those crazy ideas, the comparison to emojis, led to a massive ad campaign for Pepsi.

That would not have been possible if the logo was not designed in that fashion. As a thought experiment, look at those ads and those emojis on the bottle spinning to reveal a Coca Cola logo...it simply would not work.

What the doc actually looks like is a fairly well thought out design, that took a highly successful logo that had become rather long in the tooth, freshened it up significantly while still maintaining a clear connection to the logo it replaced.

It also contains a bunch of far out ideas to get the creative juices flowing, and at least one of those ideas did end up being a pepsi marketing campaign.

> one in four will require oxygen, ICU care or will succumb,

Note how this is deliberately constructed to scare the bejesus out of people. It's like saying "one in four will pick their nose, have explosive diarrhea, or blow their head off with a shotgun". If you don't read carefully enough, which most people don't, you'll be misled into thinking a bunch of people are about to die (rather than ruin their porcelain throne for the day), but they have plausible deniability. "We just didn't phrase it quite right". This does not improve public trust in vaccines _at all_.

Do we need folks 60+ to voluntarily vaccinate? Yes. No doubt about it. But _this is not the way_ to achieve that goal. Transparency and persuasion is how you do it, not verbal tricks like that.
If you knew what the other billionaires really thought, you’d have very different politics to them, too.
One of the reasons is ensuring that unsafe generated text will not make it back to the internet.

The representatives from nearly 50 years ago, that is.

There are really just two reasons to keep things secret. One of them is to protect people from embarrassment.

On the last few versions of Windows, it doesn't really feel like my computer anymore. I use my OS to lay out the structure of my thoughts, ie. I'll have text documents open, arranged in a certain way, project folders open, image editors with sketches in them... then Windows Update wakes my computer while I am sleeping and force-closes everything; I awake to a blank slate. It's as though someone has snuck into my house in in the middle of the night and swept everything off my desk and into the trash.

Was this the court that authorized wire taps of Trump's campaign on the basis the government had evidence they were conspiring with Russians to hack the election? Or am I getting my ultra right wing conspiracy theories mixed up in my head.
Not only is it not outside the Judicial branch, the Chief Justice appoints the FISC judges.
That secrecy court is illegal, supreme court is in constitution. That secrecy court is just an act by congress which is much lower than supreme court at constitution level. If the SCOTUS refuse to review this, then only people through revolt will have to take it down. These days our SCOTUS is basically a disgrace. Anything that "tickle" their "scared bone" it will be no standing or decline.
The problem is that the technical narrative in the post contributes to imposter syndrome and gaslights entry level programmers into thinking they’re doing database design wrong.
I left software engineering and became a litigator at one of the big U.S. law firms for the last decade. Here are some thoughts based on my experience.

First, although a technical degree is generally required to become a registered patent attorney, there are a lot of people who do patent and other IP litigation without technical degrees. Software comes up all the time in cases, and being able to read source code is a big advantage.

Second, I firmly believe that programming wires your brain in such a way that makes you good at law school and subsequent practice. The law is really a very detail-oriented endeavor. There is just something about stressing for years about whether there is a missing parenthesis or whatever that exercises your brain in the same way that looking for loopholes in a contract or whatever invokes.

That said, at least in the U.S., the biggest decider of your early success in law will be your LSAT score and undergrad GPA. If you think you might be interested in law, just take the test, estimate what schools you could get into, and then do the cost-benefit analysis with that additional information.

Just my thoughts. Take it or leave it.
"Can't use it" is throwing up red flags. Hard pass on this.
interestingly enough it looks like he wrote a book on clojure so maybe that will get a lisp more traction.
As someone who is currently taking a math class, the point of taking notes isn’t to have a record of what was taught. Rather taking notes helps me concentrate on the lecture instead of having my mind wander and for whatever reason hand writing the notes helps the concepts sink into my memory better than just listening to the lecture and reviewing the handouts. A lot of times I’ll take notes and then throw them out in a few days because the handouts and textbook are better for actually reviewing the topics later and the notes have already served their purpose of helping me learn from the lectures.
InnoDB uses row-level locking, and foreign keys are (usually) a great feature to ensure data integrity. But using multiple foreign keys from tables `a`,`b` as a composite index for table `x` can cause deadlock if both are being updated in rapid succession, because an update on `a` gets a lock on `x`, which needs a read lock on `b` which is waiting for the lock from `a` to be released. I try to never structure multiple foreign keys as a composite index.
Oh I’m not disagreeing, the emoji link is inspired but I can’t shake the feeling the doc came long after, not as part of the process. I’m not a professional designer, but that process isn’t like anything I’ve seen from those that are. Though I’ve not worked with large design committees, mostly just small teams of 1-3.
This is the case in many countries. Nordic countries do this too (...-son and ...-dottir etc.) And FWIW, in Quebec, women are not allowed to take their husband's last name when they marry. They choose for the kids.
Ironically, I have seen mysql installs up to at least 2012 produce faster results for multiple round trips than trying to get them to do the same thing using a JOIN.

Certainly I've seen code where

SELECT x.*, y.* FROM x LEFT JOIN y ON y.x_id = x.id

was actually slower than

SELECT x.* FROM x

then collecting the x.id values on the client side and running

SELECT y.* FROM y WHERE y.x_id IN (<list of x.id values>)

then putting the two sets of results together with a for loop.

(and all the y rows were per-x, this isn't about getting fewer results, just about query planning fun and mysql being -extremely- good at selecting things by a specific unique key but less so at anything even slightly more complicated - in some cases using a semantically pointless subselect in FROM to force the initial results to be materialised as a temp table worked out rather well too)

So far as I'm aware this has long since ceased to be an issue, but the world of performance optimisation can be a fun place sometimes.
Supreme court can review the act passed by Congress and modified it or nullify it which clearly unconstitutional. Essentially they are scared and just choose the cowardly way of ignoring it. Basically turning into NATO more and more each day.

Yeah...but you have to lock up crypto assets, usually with a value significantly over the stablecoins you get in return. And if the value of your assets fall, they're liquidated and the loan is repaid. It's risky for the borrower, but very low-risk for the lender: rarely do lenders have 150% collateral, literally locked in place and ready to sell at a moment's notice. So far I don't see any major systemic risks, except maybe to the reputation of the whole DeFi enterprise if positions start getting liquidated in a crash.

Correct. The FBI based a wiretap application at FISC on the Trump Dossier.

While there are plenty of right-wing crazy theories, this one had teeth as an example of an injustice.
I think this is pretty much the opposite of what the evidence suggests: that unstructured interviews are pretty much worthless.

These power numbers are impressive. The memory bandwidth is also impressive. But one thing to watch for - just because the memory bandwidth is so good, don't skimp on memory.

The original M1 reviews in Feb 2021 convinced me to get an M1 Macbook Air with only 8GB of memory back in March. My brother-in-law who works for Apple hardware assured me it would be more than enough. Wrong - the machine was churning within a day or two of normal operation. Had to return it and stay with the Intel-based MBP.

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a 14" MBP with an M1 Max and 32GB of memory, which I expect will be an awesome dev machine.
This is annoying to read because it makes unfounded assertions and then builds on them, as if they were true, repeatedly. When given the chance to uncritically construct an entire manifesto, it is very easy to get lost in one's on own narrative.

This happens many times:

"The national identity fragments under the assault of burgeoning subcultures. At last, the critic beholds the natural endpoint of this process: the long nightmare of nationalism falls like a weight from the minds of the living, as the nation becomes some lines on a map, some laws you follow. No one particularly cares."

This sounds grand, but it's flimsy because he just made it up with no evidence.

Then after the hypothetic money example:

"But what effect does this have on people? I can tell you: the average person is going to be miserable. If everyone genuinely buys into this culture, then they have to be. Their talents at piano playing, or cooking, or programming, or any form of artistry or scholarly pursuit are denigrated and count for naught. The world has become too big—it did not use to be so big, people so powerless12 of what is going on:"

Again, total fallacy based on anecdote. Sure there are plenty of cliches about money and happiness, but extrapolating to everyone is a naive approach to a manifesto.

I could go on, but this is just word salad masquerading as profundity.

Nice HTML though.
I don't think it's idiotic. Writing makes you think and remember better than just being passive.
A small note about the docs, I really like the inclusion of the "cheat sheet". When working with a new library, I often find myself wanting a fast way to Ctrl+F to one liner examples of how it would be used. I could get up and running with this fast. I'm going to shamelessly steal that idea for my current project.
With this you can't easily search for files that have multiple tags, the whole point of tags is that you can use them to find set intersections.

> There was already a battle between AT&T and people who dared connect phones they actually owned to the phone network, and it ended well for the general public and badly for AT&T.

The now reformed SBC/AT&T is doing something similar - only devices on this list[0] can connect to their VoLTE network. Without registering for VoLTE, the phones will not be able to connect to the network.

Even if a phone has full VoLTE compatiblity (the OnePlus 6 series, for example), if the manufacturer does not work with (read: pay) AT&T for certification, it will not be allowed on their network.

This is illegal under California SB822[1], which among other things prohibits the blocking of "nonharmful devices" on networks - but AT&T, along with the other major carriers, are currently acting like this doesn't exist until they're forced to by abide by it by a court of law.

We're not just competing with big corps, we're competing with each other too. It's not a competition for dollars though, it is an intensifying competition of austerity. Every downsize, skipped meal, and acceptance of worse conditions legitimizes itself and races to the bottom in answering the question, "what's the bare minimum needed to support life?" Every workaround, make do, and acceptance rachets down and squeezes everyone just a bit more.

I'm perhaps being hyperbolic when I say widely criticized, but here's one critical take: https://twitter.com/DGBassani/status/1431390188924768269

Or take a quote from this article: https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

>“The biggest limitation in the study is that testing [for SARS-CoV-2 infection] is still a voluntary thing—it’s not part of the study design.” That means, she says, that comparisons could be confounded if, for example, previously infected people who developed mild symptoms were less likely to get tested than vaccinated people, perhaps because they think they are immune.

I don't think your point 2. should be taken for granted. From the conclusion of the contested study:

>Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.
Huh? I strongly prefer relational databases for most things but this particular example is actually begging for a simple key-value store.
Great design is serious not solemn
I think this is the norm, written or unwritten. My first boss hinted that someone else did the same thing and they matched the offer. And every other boss has been quick to counter offer as soon as I hand in a resignation, but by that time I've already mentally clocked out. Keep in mind that the interview process can be grueling. It takes tremendous energy to change jobs, and anyone who went through the trouble is probably already lost.

An alternative solution might be doing what my current job does - if anyone has a goal that they need more money for, they should bring it up with their manager. You're probably not going to get a raise if you're comfortable, but some people have to deal with debt, housing costs, medical/family expenses, weddings, and these people feel like there's no other choice but to job hunt.

However, I think the honesty is reassuring.
Modern bong cloud doesn't use e4 (e3 instead) probably for this reason
Good thread on what is transpiring in SF
I found a Yale Law Journal essay[1] that suggests that FISC ruling are at least partially precedential. But I'm not really sure how that works, given that case law systems like ours require all precedent to be public.

Vaccination side-effects tend toward the immediate, not the long-term. You can bet a close eye is being kept on paediatric adverse reactions — no one is going to look good if children die. It really shouldn’t be a tough choice for very long: no more than several weeks. Meanwhile we know the virus wreaks havoc in a lot of bodies and we have no idea of its long-term effects… like with chickpox => shingles, getting it as a kid may be misery in old age.
Thinking further, how would you even know that a claimed job offer is authentic, and not just a ploy to get a raise? You wouldn't be able to call the alleged new place up to ask.

What if the employee continues to shop, looking for even higher offers to game the system? Will you give them a raise each time?

This is assuming that not everybody is honest or completely ethical when it comes to money. I'm not really alarmist, but I wouldn't invite this kind of unverifiable abuse, either.
>Why must a timeline be put on it?

Because it has completely disrupted our society, and widespread vaccinations have reduced the <1% chance of non-elderly people dying to much lower than that. Many kids have lost more than a year of education. Suicide and depression rates are skyrocketing among people of all age groups. "15 days to flatten the curve" has morphed into, "we must wear masks and stay locked down forever even if it only saves 1 life". Many of us reject this safetyism. Life is inherently risky. The vast majority of non-elderly people face far more of a risk of injury and death from their daily commute than they do dying of covid. Everyone is free to make their own personal risk assessment and wear a mask and/or hide in their homes forever. The rest of us are going to accept covid as another one of the many risks we all face in life and move on and start living again.
Claiming most people don't have M1 apple products is also bizarre considering almost all startups are using exclusively macs and we've all been waiting for the this release.

Its not like Apple doesn't release faulty hardware and software. Butterfly keyboard is a good example of faulty hardware and OSX Lion crashed all the time on the Macbook pros with discrete GPUs till Apple patched it.
“most users have low standards”

Yes! I did the same thing. So funny to hear that here.

There was also a BBS that had a door for queuing downloads that just assumed everyone had a 14.4K modem, and I only had a 2400. When you picked your downloads to queue up, it checked your minutes to check if you had enough time. But since it did the math wrong I was able to queue up more downloads than my minutes allowed. Since it was a door, it didn’t return to the BBS software until my downloads were done. Fun times!
"Conscious thought" is an undefined term applied to non-verbal subjects, except where sequential reasoning is demonstrated, and then becomes a metaphysical morass. Emotion is well-defined and interpretable from behavior, and is not the opposite of instinct, but a pathway it operates by.
Yup. Postgres feels very good with latest JSON type features. Even a really unpredictable JSON document has some metadata that you can stick in typed columns and get the full power of SQL over your little "NoSQL" column. Timestamps, author, etc.

I'm no fan of IP, and we all know it's a boondoggle to take something that's public and try to erase every last instance of it (as _why seemed to want to do), but the prerogative that people do have is whether or not to publish something in the first place. Privacy is a human right, and that includes the freedom not to have your private thoughts published against your will.
