I would say an overwhelming majority of corporate users don't care about creating their own apps or work flows or whatever else. They care about the PowerPoint or excel sheet they are actively working on for their next meeting.
Where this stuff is helpful is in the business side analyst jobs, the folks who produce the data for the aforementioned persons PowerPoint. That's where most advanced excel is happening and a subset of those folks will go further and use some of these new tools. It's the folks who have built access databases to do some of their work. And future state it will probably end up like all those orphaned access databases that are all over corporate America running some small but important reporting for some business unit who could never get hours with IT to actually get a real production solution.
The thing people forget about most is the LAMP stack. Although before node.js, PHP was simply a viable cost saving language to use. Now that WordPress moved to node however, it doesn't seem worthwhile to learn unless there are special uses you can get out of it.

But I agree with you about the whole "esoteric lisp-based language" comment. It seems like every other day I see something like that here and all I wanna say is "why?" I mean nobody cares about lisp except for the stallman-esque nerds. The best programming language is the cheapest one to create, support, and replace others with. Not cause some random programmer that thinks they know what they're talking about because they don't like it.

If it's one person spending 4 hours a day, 500 pages/month is about 16 a day including weekends, 4 pages per hour, so 15 minutes to review each page for redactions. 500/month seems pretty fast given that there's probably only a few people that have had this dumped on their plate in addition to everything else they have to do.

None of that language is has a standard legal or regulatory definition, across the US. They are not precise terms, at least not yet. They are frequently used colloquially in ways that contradict your suggestion.

I'm not saying your definitions are bad, or wrong... Quite the contrary, I think your ideas are great!

But the specific terms & definitions aren't what really matter, are they? We just need standard language, with specified legal meaning, that consumers can invoke to make service providers jump to task.

Not sure you're reading it right there - "I think this basically agrees with my analyses above - the trends really are in ivermectin’s favor, but once you eliminate all the questionable studies there are too few studies left to have enough statistical power to reach significance."

So I'll revise - studies have been done, but no conclusions about positive efficacy can be supported.

"I think the conventional wisdom - that the most extreme ivermectin supporters were mostly gullible rubes who were bamboozled by pseudoscience - was basically accurate."
Wonderful posts. Thank you for updated great information about our brains. These are what I need for my study. Please keep updating more.

I helped mine move to this country and find an occupation that was earning $130k and growing multiple digits% every year.

Then she must have heard about California divorces... Rather than staying in our unhappy marriage (arguably not anyone's particular fault) because she thought she had to, she filed, got half of everything, even stuff that was arguably more mine that hers.

I'd always been a marriage skeptic... When we moved to the US we got married, because that's how we could continue our relationship. I thought I was smart when I insisted to sign a pre-nup in our country of origin. I didn't suspect California would not see the pre-nup that way - Why would I be more careful then and research it in more details?: We were in love then. The news that the prenup would be contested was the first bitter news. (California doesn't yet have a case that went in front of a judge about that country's prenup validity).

When we settled, she cashed in, and immediately after, announced to me, that in fact, she was unhappy here, and that she was going back to our country of origin (2nd bitter news). I get to keep the kids (thank god) here with me. But she has long stopped working and I'll support her early retirement with monthly payments that are huge money where she is going. Why would she even work there? She has until the kids get 18 to figure the plan for after, and the assets she has from the settlement, if invested right, will cover even that (+ she has a new fiancee anyway).

Yes marriage is antiquated -- I had a "modern" marriage where I was super involved (cooking, taking care of the house and the kids), and a traditional "fuck you" divorce.
> Is the "your app gets initialized and torn down for every request" true for frameworks like Laravel and Symfony?

Yes, though heavy optimization in opcode caching and JIT keeps it fast and the primary process manager today (php-fpm) generally keeps a pool of PHP processes persistent. Each request is initialized from scratch but there's no disk nor interpreter hit after the first.

There are, of course, frameworks that simply handle HTTP requests directly (amphp, swoole) that operate as persistent application servers, so state is maintained.

> Does this model uses OS threads? Does it uses green threads?

No. PHP webserver backends are generally a long-lived forking model.

> I feel like the Go model is a way better model for server software than async

Swoole [1] offers a coroutine and channel model. It's incredibly fast and the techempower benchmarks [2] attest to the raw speed.

> It feels a bit weird to see how full of objects PHP is

Agreed. It's often way over the top with Java-esque OOP complexity. It does depend on the libraries in question but the popular ones are very heavy (Symfony). You can of course write very simple imperative code just fine too.

I think emulators have virtual TPMs which you can definitely inspect and manipulate the internal state of, and the specs are freely available so presumably anyone with some microcontroller/embedded experience can make one. The problem is that software is able to determine whether that TPM is an "approved" one, and that process being cryptographic, is going to be pretty hard to get past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module#Endors...

Ever since the beginning I have maintained the strong and unchanging opinion that everything TPM and "trusted computing" related is ultimately user-hostile and a threat to freedom, and it's disturbing to see that the worst nightmares are slowing becoming reality. It used to be drugs and terrorism. Now it's "security".
I like the notation:

I think "low code" and "no code" just like making module. It simplifies the unlimited possibilities from code to a pre-compose and limited modules.

As you entering a restaurant, and you see the menu all the material is available to customize but having 1000 options. And you find there are a few default combos beside that. I don't think most of people will choose "customize" after they fully understand all the options.

I guess 80% people only need a basic functions. To engineer, that's a simple work. But to people who cannot code, that's extremely hard.
So much this. Dask does not remove the need to babysit workers and partitions, and that's the real difference between pandas and spark.
Having done an FDA submission myself I am actually amazed at how short this time period would be.

In the Old Days, to file an NDA required special arrangements with printing companies who could handle such a job and a team who arranged for the fleet of trucks required to deliver the submissions.

Edit: NDA = New Drug Application which includes, among other things, basically all your raw data which includes hordes of PII.

TBF it also includes a lot of boring in vitro data and analysis, preclinical (animal and in vitro) data etc which will have minimal to no PII.
That sounds miserable no matter the tooling tbh!

You can buy tons of stuff with Bitcoin (not just drugs). You can transfer it around the world basically for free (transaction fees amount to the equivalent of pennies no matter how much you send). It's immutable. Basically it does the things it's supposed to do. It's gained widespread adoption, a whole economy, thousands of businesses.

It is, without a doubt, successful.
There are some bounds on gambling, like the fact that there are some people who know the outcome of the Oscars before they're revealed is why there's no betting on those awards (and other similar awards). I think the ability of individuals to decisively affect the outcome of litigation is similarly adverse to there being gambling.¹

Dask is really good for scientists, when I worked with bioinformaticians it was way easier to get them to use dask for out of memory processing than spark. In particular dask bag offers a great amount of flexibility for ETL use cases.

The problem with dask for me though (as a user of dask and prefect) is that I was never able to get the throughput of pySpark out of dask. For dask I can reach 100 mb/s on my laptop while pyspark can each 260 mb/s on my laptop for the same workload (cleaning and restructuring). This was around 2 years ago that I tested that I’m curious what the community has experienced now.

Also for most use cases your data isn’t really big data and dask is much simpler and fast enough which is why I reach for dask first.

I should have been clearer - the hypothesis of abiogenesis provides an accurate explanation for the origins of life from non-life and is accepted by the vast majority if non-religious biologists as the most likely explanation for how life started… and, for what it’s worth, there is absolutely no evidence for any other explanation.

The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that organic material can result from inorganic material in 1952; the abiogenesis hypothesis has only grown stronger since then, not weaker. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment
I think I would need to see it in action to truly understand. Reviewing commit by commit sounds good to me, though. I do try to keep my commits focused, reviewable, and "complete" (basically shippable) so that part would fit with my current workflow.
>CNBC lists bitcoin price next to the S&P. It's up infinity percent. There are regulated financial products. If asked at the time he would have unequivocally said those things would not have happened because bitcoin was going to fail because he was dead wrong.

there is a difference between "succeeding somewhat in the original goal" and "succeeding in a way different from the original goal all together". the former seems to closer to start ups that made it big - they had a product that became successful even if the endproduct isn't 100% as the original product

with bitcoin, wasn't (isn't?) the original goal to create an alternative to mainstream financial system? just based off the example you listed, among other things, it seems like Bitcoin has completely 100% has failed in that regard since it's just become another feature of the mainsteam financial system

sure bitcoin and crypto are still here, but they're just another asset class at this point. sure it's not "failure" - it certainly is successful by a different set of metrics from the original, but I'm sure this isn't what Satoshi had in mind
I actually use FMP for a database at my wife's work. FMP is still shipping updates and new versions.

Surprisingly you can pay to have your DB hosted on AWS. That said, it's very expensive.
That is kind of my point. Review capacity is meaningless if external factors require a certain review _latency_.

Even if the actual review takes 30 seconds, it does not matter if my reviewer is asleep for the next 8 hours.
Also I think if low code and no code industry are more steady. It'll more like the traditional operations.

There're upstream, midstream and downstream. (Low/No code probably will be upstream or midstream) They need to take care about the QA & QC instead of normal software development flow. Because one mistake will affect all the downstream used.
Betting is not just money transfer, it's something more.

With multiple databases you get the advantage of being able to run tests in parallel, so even though they might be the same under the hood they offer interfaces that suit quite different use cases
> You can buy tons of stuff with Bitcoin

You can also buy tons of stuff with USD. The only innovation of Bitcoin is that it allows you to do illegal stuff.

A more expensive and cumbersome way to do what you could already do with other tools is not “success”.

> You can transfer it around the world basically for free (transaction fees amount to the equivalent of pennies no matter how much you send).

This is also true of, for example, TransferWise.

> It’s immutable

This actually makes it worse than the existing financial system, because being able to reverse fraudulent transactions is a feature, not a bug.

> It’s gained widespread adoption, a while economy, thousands of businesses.

Also true of USD. You still haven’t demonstrated any advantage of Bitcoin other than illegal transactions.

Easy way to find laptop schematics is by OEM name. In this case, Wistron LOS-1. It's sad that these "researchers" couldn't find it for free.[1]

further denying funds to the DDoS SaaS or botnet rental they'd eventually have spend it on.

That is unfounded fearmongering. I suspect at least some of the funds go to paying neighbourly employees working at said OEMs so they'll share more schematics. Most if not all the schematics you see available are leaks, after all.

[1] Maybe if they do come across companies leaking them, they'll be do-gooding and closing those "holes" (and effectively fighting against right-to-repair), so perhaps it's better that they didn't.

Where is information on gitlab support? I didn't see it linked in the post. Is this just the main gitlab service, or are any third party gitlab servers possible?

I'm building a svelte-kit based blogging framework called Svekyll with a hosting service called ExtraStatic. It all uses gitlab on the backend and I'm very curious if you could author on ExtraStatic and then publish into cloudflare. Right now I use the static adapter but I'm interested in seeing if the cloudflare adapter just works.

ExtraStatic is interesting because it allows you to publish without really knowing git. You can publish using just email, or you can use the creator tool or the Android app to publish into gitlab and then it builds automatically. Hosting on cloudflare would be awesome.

Very exciting stuff!

Huh I forgot that DOIs are meant for more than just academic journals.

> I doubt Microsoft wants support calls about how someone clicked on their widget and the resulting page didn't render properly because user was on X browser.

It's not "X browser", it would be just Firefox with its workaround. And it's common practice to design websites with support for major browsers, so it shouldn't be such a huge burden letting users pick a browser.
Where I work, there is an internal form, which has a drop down menu that defaults to "unspecified".

The aggravating thing is that it has two distinct meanings. It can mean "nobody has specified this value" or it can mean "this value has been determined by the relevant authority to be unspecified".

But the distinction has to be tracked externally somehow, because there's no way to change the menu.
There are very few things you can buy more easily using Bitcoin. And average fees to send money right now with Bitcoin are 2-3%. Which is not great, considering the current financial system offers lots of much cheaper options for sending money.
The "just distributed" is the interesting bit though. DOIs are really the same as URLs, except the lookup doesn't use DNS.
If the ride has been accepted, there most certainly is a log on Uber’s side. It may not show up in your history, but it is there. I hope you are safe now and your health is intact, but please consider filing a police report. Even if you did not note the license plate, location, time, vehicle info, description and name of the driver, etc - this all can help identify the driver. On top of that, your state may have a consumer protection agency or even contacting a state’s attorney office maybe useful, if it is a systematic issue. Also, see if it is worth filing a civil lawsuit. Maybe even in a small claims, depends on the damage.
If you NEED the job and the leetcode quiz/exam/hoop-jumping is a HARD REQUIREMENT, then you may not have a choice. Tell them it seems a bit weird to run you through the gauntlet after specifically calling out your open sourced code, and maybe suggest an interview that will be more telling on how well you’ll be working together versus deciding “if you can code” (your project should already indicate that?) If they’re bothered seemingly or obviously and cannot take the feedback lightly or seriously then maybe that’s a good indication to consider other opportunities.
Ask HN: Discovering HN type sites for other interests
There have been some interesting articles that pop up here from time to time that are outside the technical focus. I often find them interesting and enlightening - especially some of the archaeological related ones.

That said, a non-tech person I sometimes send some of those articles to was asking me if I knew of or how to find sites that have some of the same traits - high quality submissions, an active audience - for other areas.

For instance - history, cooking, or plants might be very general areas. It seems like Reddit is a popular spot for such. But any thoughts on discovering high-content sites in other, non-tech, areas?

It’s still debatable how much of the early Holocene extinction was anthropogenic and how much was climate change or even predation. At least in terms of the megafauna like wooly mammoths and New World horses. Once state-organized civilization kicks off, consensus is that it was largely anthropogenic, even if it’s just us transporting diseases and pests around.
