I am appalled how this person asked a question, out of ignorance, yes, but politely and it got censored, flagged and their comment hidden. I have vouched it back from the dead.

How are people supposed to understand if the approach taken by the educated ones is of censorship and taboo?

I extremely appreciate @throwawaygh below answering the question clearly and teaching OP a valuable point of view of the matter, without prejudice or indignation of someone else's ignorance.

Shame on those who just preferred to censor the question. This is not how we build an inclusive society. I expect better of this site.

Here's the same thing as a docker container you can just keep around which auto-destroys the databases after a set time: https://github.com/ClockworkConsulting/tempgres-server

We originally tried to create temporary databases locally, but found that it the fact that each dev had to do extra setup to be a bit of a pain.

A docker container is on dockerhub as 'cwconsult/tempgres:v2.1.1' (I think I messed up the last publishing and 'latest' doesn't point to that. I should really fix that tag.)

We have a couple of published clients (just for convenience, the REST interface is super-simple, so 'manual' integration is trivial):

- https://github.com/ClockworkConsulting/tempgres-client (Java)

- https://github.com/ClockworkConsulting/django-tempgres (Django)

- https://github.com/BardurArantsson/pg-harness (Haskell)

A few nice things about this one is that:

- You don't even need a local PostgreSQL

- You can keep one somewhere in your LAN and never have to worry about it again.

- It integrates trivially with GitLab CI where you just use it as a service inside the build.

- Integration super-simple... simple enough to use even in e.g. shell scripts.

- No need to worry about tear-down

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it since it's relevant to this thread.
Labeling Interactive Maps [pdf]
IIRC, many Native American cultures practiced large scale controlled burning of prairies and forests in North America. So yeah, you'd expect that after their societies collapsed, their massive CO2 emissions would disappear. Interesting to see people in the comments who have no idea about pre-Colombian history in the Americas.
I don't like the idea but perhaps the service level needs to be adjusted more accurately to the audience. The rich are getting richer while everyone else is losing purchase power. I really don't like paying 2 or 3 times what a trip by car would cost. I'd prefer a 3rd class cabin with simple seats or non at all if it means I can travel where I like cheaply. Others might prefer to do more of a business class commute, at much higher rates, in comfort, with some actual service.
If this is what it takes to hack the TPM, the market for these machines will get bigger. That causes the price to drop.

Actually, it is an important feature for a lot of people, with virtually every popular messenger implementing it. Telegram and Whatsapp both go one step further and not only show when a user is at his keyboard, but also if he's currently typing. In the grand scheme of things, a few strings being routed regarding presence information don't pose a big problem for server providers (I know two of those and they didn't complain nor think of it as an issue whatsoever).

You shouldn't impose your use case to "a lot of people", and more importantly also shouldn't conclude that it's "definitely not worth it" from that. The industry disagrees with you, and so does my mom.
MS Access was indeed great. It was really simple to publish a site in the early days of asp that made use of it as a data source

Performance-wise sqlite probably wins, but Access had the added bonus of an extremely straight-forward UI
Not sure about ARM-based NAS, but most x86-based QNAP NAS devices are basically a PC in hardware configuration with mature Linux support, so there's not really any support issue.

The PiBox case apparently can only house two 2.5" SATA drives, not regular 3.5" hard disks commonly used for cheap mass storage. 2.5" hard disks seem to peak at 5TB per drive so the potential capacity is limited unless you go with SSD at much much higher cost.

The PiBox's 15W power supply leaves very tight margin for its components: Pi4 peak power consumption is about 6.5W, two SATA SSDs will peak over 5W each as well, so you should watch for power for stable operation.

I couldn't find a 2.5" 2-bay NAS model so the form factor isn't identical, but the closest match is probably QNAP TS-230 w/ similar 4-core ARM A53 SoC supporting two 3.5" drives for $199. The obvious downside is that RAM is capped at 2GB and that might be a deal breaker if you want to run lots of apps, but for entry-level storage needs it should be sufficient.
Me neither. And this is the first time I've heard about it; such changes often raise a lot more havoc on the social media outlets.

I presume grandparent has either hit a bug, has some unusual/untested about:config combination, or, most likely, an addon that broken.
Does that make you especially dislike the "intentional meddling" of "snobs" on English?

Look at the word "island" and you might think it comes from the Latin "isle". This is a false etymology created by "snobs" who considered "yland" to be a corruption of the Latin, rather than a word with Proto-Germanic roots.

Hugo is a static site generator, it's like jekyll or pelican.

I was more thinking if you want to build an interactive site, what is the go to Go web framework?

Along the same lines with the Wordpress example, I'd choose Ghost for that as I come from the JS end of the spectrum also. I wonder what the Go based options are here? If I ran a Go shop I'd probably lean towards that (unless, of course, they're all horrible :)
I'm not an expert on the technology, but I've seen this same argument from friends of mine who are into a blockchain they claim will allow people to carry their Universities degrees / Academic qualifications with them. Similar to your "wallet" idea I guess.

So, by dint of being tokens, accreditation, land deeds, car papers, game items etc etc etc must all be able to be transferred right? Which means they can also be stolen or attributed to the wrong people right? So, if you get hacked and your car registration token gets stolen, or if someone steals your degree and starts walking around pretending to be a doctor using your token, what do you do? In fact, what happens if the University accidentally gives your degree to someone with the same surname as you, and you get a Diploma in Basket Weaving instead of your medical degree and they refuse to give it back? Because these things will happen endlessly.

Well, as always, you'll go to the DMV or the cops or the Uni and they'll.....what exactly? The answer, necessarily, will be to check their master records to see who should have what, and then change it. Which totally obliviates the purpose of the decentralised blockchain.

You can see this in action with that dope who had his cartoon ape NFT stolen. What did he do? Immediately appealed to the closest thing to a centralised authority there is, Twitter and the ape community, and begged them not to buy "his" NFTs. Then contacted the exchanges and begged them not to sell. Then contacted the cops. Then, in a move with a jaw-dropping lack of self awareness said it "didn't matter" that the NFT had been stolen, because he "still owned those apes". So in the space of about ten minutes, he firebombed every core tenet of NFTs, and that was over a cartoon ape in the first moments of NFTs even being a "thing".

What's your solution for the guy who gets his house token stolen?

Here's a really old ISBN, which I picked at random because I wrote the book (often also a random process at times) -- almost 25 years ago:

978-0782120813

I had no trouble finding the book via this magic number. I don't know how that compares to a 25 year old DOI for an item that was in limited publication.

(shameless plug, fair, but it's an example for which I happen to know the provenance of the isbn, even before publication, and I also have an idea at how obscure this item turned out to be after public distribution.)
To be fair to the article, I could only find NTP in that use as part of a quote. But I agree – it’s an overloaded initialism.
Quoting from the paper's description of Phase 1:

> (b) If an acceptor receives a prepare request with number n greater than that of any prepare request to which it has already responded, then it responds to the request with a promise not to accept any more proposals numbered less than n and with the highest-numbered proposal (if any) that it has accepted.

It says an acceptor must respond with the highest-numbered proposal (if any) that it has accepted.

How is acceptor C going to do that after step 9? That's where the bug is introduced, I think, not anywhere in the paper.
It's very hard to do something after the event. But it is important that this is a warning to others. Perhaps taking some precautions is a good idea. Take a photo of the Uber, including the plate number. If you can, a photo of the driver and screenshots of the booking, etc. Then you have some evidence to file with the police.
About 10 years ago, I once didn't sleep a night and was solving a problem with a switch statement that was 200 lines long.

The next day, well rested, I realized I could do the same thing with a for loop because I already had all the data I needed.
Programming is inherently hierarchical profession, because it's one of the few that progresses by automating itself. Therefore it will never be "democratized" (by this the author means equality). At the bottom of the pyramid sit the Excel-handlers and people who "program" a few lines of pre-made templates. At this level programming is similar to a GUI, a language that appeals to intuitions of everyday life so that it can be approachable to everyone. But as you go up the hierarchy of building things-that-build-things, the wealth is increasingly concentrated. At the top sit the 1% Gurus whose job cannot be automated away, and who can command the whole economy with their choices. You can't fight this hierarchy with "nocode" toys, it takes work

If I understood the initial question correctly, it was apps or potentially services that wanted to communicate together, meaning they would be clients talking to a central XMPP server. In that case, XMPP or MQTT or NATS or whatever: if XMPP works and is easy, why use something else ?
When you say compare you seem to mean cost-wise. My answer is that its cost is known, with no large downsides or unknown costs to be dealt with later.

Vogtle 3&4 are American plants. I don't follow the news there closely. The last I read was that the long-term storage facility at Yucca Mountain was cancelled. No no replacement or alternative in the reports I read. Did I miss anything? Has a plan for how to store the waste been formulated, perhaps even a cost estimated? How are insurance costs to cover liability costs in case of accident estimated?

Good point. Excel is no more low-code than SQL.
I think it ties in with the "Cool Japan" strategy / perception (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan); the Japanese tourism industry and the western Japanese fetishists really want to push and believe in a certain aspect of Japan, involving meticulous craftsmanship, ancient traditions, etc. And I respect that.

But the 'real' Japan is a lot less idyllic; from what I've heard, people are overworked, single, depressed, addicted, etc. But that too is probably lacking in nuance, because it's all second / third hand knowledge.

So I've just double-checked this by opening https://app.element.io in an incognito tab and looking at the network inspector. What I see is what I was referring to in the grandparent as:

* Element has to query your server to find out what authentication mechanisms are available before you log in. Therefore if its config points to the default matrix.org homeserver, you end up pinging that every time you log in, even if your homeserver is elsewhere. The solution for now is to change your default homeserver in the config to avoid this.

The same applies to the identity lookup server as well as the homeserver: the app checks the one in your config to ensure that it exists before the user tries to log in on it. It does this with a single request (a GET to https://vector.im/_matrix/identity/api/v1). There is no token exchange there.

The workaround is to configure the app with the correct default homeserver & identity server (if any) for your deployment. The underlying bug (i.e. don't validate the config until the user tries to log in) is https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/11655, and it simply hasn't got to the top of the list yet; we've been focusing on narrowing the UX gap between Element & Discord/Slack/Teams rather than reimplementing the login flows. As you can see on the bug, it's been picked up off the backlog 9 days ago and is currently being worked on.

Separately, I'm seeing a related bug that Element Web's guest mode is incorrectly kicking in on the login page. Guest mode exists so you can deeplink straight to something like https://app.element.io/#/room/#matrix-dev:matrix.org and read scrollback without needing to register an account - but it looks like we're spinning up guests on the default homeserver needlessly on the login page. This is https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/11533, and we've put it on the radar too.

TL;DR: this is slightly leaky, but is it really any different to Chrome's default config loading up Google as a default homepage? Or Firefox loading up Mozilla.org? Or Thunderbird loading up Thunderbird.org? Eitherway, we'll fix the behaviour, but PLEASE understand that this is a million miles away from the bogus "central authority can have influence on another server" smear from the original post.
Kevin I am sorry but you are not the one that is fault at here. There are several red flags but most noticably your ex firm lacks accountability. You shouldn't be hired with an impulsive decision, there shouldn't be closed doors decision making andyou should not be blamed because you executed the decisions made without your input.

And getting fired after a whiteboard session with no heads up? Even though he knew he is going to fire you the next day? Man, you are BETTER off without that company. There will be other jobs, there will be other gigs but nothing is worth this.

My 2 cents anyway.
Maybe still. But I'm pretty sure 5-10 years from now PHP devs will be in demand since everyone is moving to Node/Go/Other Hype.
Journals, even prominent ones, change names for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. The meaningfulness issue can cut both ways.

I think the real problem is the centralized vs federated vs distributed nature of it. IPFS is a good example of how that could have looked; not sure if it could be moved into that space somehow (I'm sure it could in theory, but in practice?)
Maybe so, but his previous company's attitude is sticking out like a sore thumb it overshadows the focus you saw...

FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0

> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.

You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

Yes, most people who are acutely suicidal probably wouldn't even bother calling a hotline. You call the hotline when you start to get an unsettling feeling that you might be out to hurt yourself but didn't decide, yet. For me this is obvious. Suicide hotlines are probably mostly just an excuse by the health system so they can state "we gave it a try".

> While the new limitations in WebExtensions can be limiting, these in particular don't sound insurmountable.

That sounds promising, but I haven't seen anybody solve it with WebExtensions yet. Just tried Vimium in Chromium too. Same problems.

The end user experience is worse than the picture I painted as my list of drawbacks was incomplete.

Here's another one... Say the server is offline or you mistyped a URL and you get to the "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." page. You're stuck as your vim shortcuts don't work anymore.

I assume that means running everything within a transaction?

Does that mean you can't use regular transactions in code, since Postgres doesn't support 'true' nested transactions? Or does the Django ORM automatically convert those 'inner' transactions into Postgres SAVEPOINTS?

My limited understanding is that LBRY is the protocol its self, Odysee is the front-end developed by the devs. I'm not a great fan of Odysee its self, as the owners aggressively follow any DMCA or takedown request, regardless of legitimacy.

I was mainly looking at Dask for the purpose of a more better Pandas DataFrame, but it seems like it's actually not that much better, just more distributed. It's like Dask is trying to do too many things and there doesn't do most of them well enough.

While I haven't tried it, vaex[1] seems much better, since it specifically to only address one pain point, which is to address the inefficiencies of the pandas DataFrame and aims to do that one thing well.

I'd be interested to know what you think PHP got wrong with respect to web development? The majority of the web is running on PHP to this day, so at least in terms of popularity it seems people don't feel this way generally. Furthermore, if one were philosophically-minded, it could be argued that PHP's "shared nothing/one thread per page" execution model is the very quintessence of HTTP.
2k requests might range from nothing to to hard, depending on what the page does.

A simple PHP page 10 years ago on a low-end server using mod_php could do 100k+ rps. Add more logic to it and performance will decrease.
