Damn that's messed up. Sorry about your sister.
You're right. Sorry about that, but it angers me when people put words in my mouth.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I've been wary of wealth for so long that I've internalized that feeling, so I forgot to phrase it more like "people are ok with being wealthy while others are poor".

I could never be a billionaire or even a millionaire, and then walk around and not see the countless people suffering all around me, and around the world.

Now, I imagine many of them feel that they are making a positive contribution to the world by employing people, creating products that help people, making charitable donations, etc.

But that stuff stems from the ego. I believe that true wealth is in divine things like the love between a parent and child. Stuff that doesn't cost money.

This isn't just feel-good woo woo stuff. A society could be built around love as surely as it could be built around fear in capitalist societies. Science and technology's greatest failure is that there's still scarcity. A contrived scarcity now, that keeps people working so hard and distracted that they never get a chance to catch a breath and question the system. Just so that a chosen few can suckle on the priceless time of the poor, using them as human chattel.
You kind of did though. The website itself hasn't materially changed, so 'HN turning into Reddit' conversation isn't about the features of the application we're using here. It's always about some migration of 'undesirables' into the community.

To be honest, I find your foamy characterizations of the folks you're describing fairly toxic as well.

To sell a car, it's perfectly reasonable to require a proper title in the seller's name even if it requires jumping through some hoops in order to get a title reissued to that person. (And, if there's some dispute, that dispute will simply have to be resolved.)

However, I've never needed a title for any other purpose and I think the last car I traded in I actually had to get a new title because it wasn't in my file cabinet where it should have been.I certainly wouldn't expect to need one to get spare keys issued, the car inspected (though they need an insurance-stamped registration for that in my state), or anything else.
It's pretty simple. You can estimate the genetic mutation rate from the phylogenetic tree since we've been sampling the distribution of Sars-Cov2 genomes since the original Wuhan strain. If that rate is constant and if the variants all mutate at the same speed that gives you a rough timeline. Omicron has 50 mutations that are not related to other known variants. Delta has 13. We've seen delta for about 1 year right? So it's not a big leap to roughly double that estimate for Omicron.
Really not sure if this is satire.

There is absolutely a performance benefit to reducing your row sizes. It both reduces the amount of disk I/O and the amount of CPU cache misses and in many cases also increases the amount of data that can be kept in RAM.

You can map meaning onto the column in your code, as most languages have enums that are free in terms of performance. It does not make sense to burden the storage layer with this, as it lacks this feature.

Counterpoint argument based on the Japanese/Korean story structure called kishōtenketsu:

> The necessity of conflict is preached as a kind of dogma by contemporary writers’ workshops and Internet “guides” to writing. A plot without conflict is considered dull; some even go so far as to call it impossible. This has influenced not only fiction, but writing in general–arguably even philosophy. Yet, is there any truth to this belief? Does plot necessarily hinge on conflict? No. Such claims are a product of the West’s insularity. For countless centuries, Chinese and Japanese writers have used a plot structure that does not have conflict “built in”, so to speak. Rather, it relies on exposition and contrast to generate interest. This structure is known as kishōtenketsu.

Also, there are numerous highly regarded, non-Hollywood films that do not rely on the traditional confrontational story arc. "Killer of Sheep" and "Patterson" are two off the top of my head.

So "Universal Structure of Storytelling" seems a bit over-sold.

I'm not clear on what you were testing, did you replicate the design in the AT-AT set from the article or just using a bushing piece?

It's still pretty notable that it requires a sewing needle to disassemble fully instead of just hands or a brick separator as previous sets did.
Totally understand that $15 per month seems like a hefty price tag for a new product, but it's the lowest we could go since we pay human coaches for check-in calls with users.

The average personal trainer charges $30-39 per session depending on whose data you check. Assuming 1 session per week, the price of a personal trainer is $120-156 per month and our combined software and 1:1 human solution is <1/10th of the price.
This explains a whole lot of things -- like for example how I once heard a certain engineering director explain, with a straight face, how one cloud platform was more "agile" than other. By which he meant (as he explained) "has a more user-friendly toolchain". Which is of course a perfectly valid criterion for preferring one platform over another.

But no, he had to say "agile". Which by now of course has become completely meaningless, other than to mean vaguely "good". And as the article points out, a speech signal: a way of indicating "I'm an engineering director (or product evangelist, whatever) now, and one of the ways I maintain that slot in the status hierarchy is by using lingo you don't dare challenge me on, and certainly not to my face. Even though most everyone knows it's basically bullshit."

Before I read the article, I found his choice of words quite perplexing. But now it makes perfect sense.
You are getting down voted for your sweeping generalizations, but I agree Reddit has declined in quality over the years. So has HN. 4chan has also declined somewhat but its brashness serves as a filter and is a barrier to entry for many people. People who have been around 4chan for a while know the offensiveness is essential to preserving the culture.
I think it is possible to produce code that conveys everything the spec would. The problem is the same as with Donald Knuth literate programming: to use it, you now require your coders to be both great programmers AND great writers. And these two traits rarely coincide in a single person.
One major thing you have to worry about with octogenarians is falls. There are all sorts of injuries related to falls but the worst one is to break a hip. It can happen very easily.

When old folks break a hip, it sets off a chain of consequences that are really, really bad for their health and quality of life. To begin with, it immediately requires hospitalization and major surgery. Then, a period of immobilization starting with a "short term" stay in a nursing home followed by weeks of rehabilitation. During all that time, they're susceptible to many different complications. It's basically the beginning of the end for many.

This happened to my mother. In the course of 3 years: broken hip, stroke, and UTI followed by near-fatal sepsis (which precipitated dementia). After all that she lost the ability to walk and we had to put her in a skilled nursing facility for the rest of her life.

Best thing you can do is to make sure you get advice from an elder-care attorney about end-of-life problems and financial planning. There can be dire financial consequences for the family if any money is transferred from the elderly to family members within 5 years of going on medical assistance (thanks to George W Bush's "deficit reduction act" of 2005).
Very similar. Strong resistance to the loss of independence but eventually they realized their quality was drastically improved.

This is distressing but not surprising. What is aggravating is that sometimes this is not even unintentional. For cats, there is the Scottish Fold. The very thing that makes them considered cute is a painful disease. The perpetuation of this breed is really a comment on human... what? Vanity? Cruelty? It's disgusting.

This from an Australian animal welfare group
https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-are-the-health-p...

The Scottish Fold breed of cat is a very popular pet in the USA, due to its affectionate and gentle nature and distinctive appearance. These cats have flattened ears that fold forward and downward, sitting like a cap and giving the quaint look of an owl. This ear fold is the result of a natural genetic mutation first observed in a farm kitten in Scotland in 1961. The tightly folded ears do not appear to be any more prone to infections than those of cats with upright ears. However, this unique ear shape is caused by an underlying defect in the formation of cartilage, which would normally retain the ears in a normal shape.

This inherited cartilage defect (also known as Scottish Fold disease, or Osteochondrodysplasia) causes other deformities throughout the body and is a dominant trait, meaning all kittens in the litter will be affected. The disease is evident on x-rays of cats from as young as 7 weeks of age. Serious abnormalities in joints and bone growth lead to arthritis (painful, swollen joints), short, abnormally thick and inflexible tails, spinal abnormalities and short, stiff legs. The welfare impacts are severe in terms of pain and inability to perform natural behaviours, as these cats can be lame, walk with an abnormal gait, can be reluctant to engage in normal movements such as walking or jumping, and can even become completely crippled.

There is no cure for this progressive condition. Cats who develop arthritis need long term pain relief, which can have undesirable side effects, and dietary supplements to slow its development. In a small number of cases, surgery or radiotherapy has been effective in slowing the progression of the disease. Those with severe disease are often suffering immensely and require euthanasia, sometimes early in life.

Due to the crippling deformities evident in this breed, it was excluded from the Cat Fancy of Great Britain as a recognised breed in 1974 and was also banned by the Fédération Internationale Féline. Breeders in the USA persisted...
From my experience it works pretty well, the issue is that the idea that it's temporary storage is so prevalent that I wouldn't risk it.

From what I saw, people think two times before doing `truncate table` but not that much with `FLUSHALL` in redis...

Also, I don't really see where the usecase would be as a permanent datastore compared to something like postgres.
As far as I can tell, nowhere has actually implemented either full-scale capitalism or full-scale communism in the last human lifetime. At its most extreme, there have been some planned-economy socialist states (selling themselves as a "stepping stone to communism") and some thoroughly regulated, state-subsidized free-market systems.

I suppose there have also been some failed states that devolved power to a variety of local systems; maybe it's some of those that you have lived under?

One of the sensible #3s you might be missing, by the way, could be something along the lines of "free markets with enough regulation to protect the commons and enough social spending to invest in the populace (encouraging future innovation and mobility) and enough of a safety net to limit desperation (to keep the pitchforks out of the ownership class's stomachs)"

I always wondered about this. If one was lost in the wilderness with general amnesia, one could figure out the month and day eventually, by counting from the winter/summer solstice, but there would no way of figuring out what day of the week it is without consulting a calendar.
My mom went a similar way. Low speed fall right after her bath, no obvious damage, but she was on the floor for over 48 hours. Life alert was not a waterproof model and so she had not yet put it back on. The weakness induced by lack of food and water then being in a hospital bed for weeks rendered her unable to walk (she had used a cane prior, though would have been better with a walker). While in hospital and the recovery facility she was not allowed her medications for breast cancer, and within 5 weeks of her fall, cancer cells were found in some pleural fluid buildup. At that point it was hospice. These things just pile on top of each other, and at a late stage in life recovery is much harder.

The problem often arises when two pieces of code happen to look the same, but are conceptually doing two different things.

I have seen far too many codebases where a junior engineer took it upon himself to DRY-ify two similar looking bits of code, only to have to later go start adding knobs and if-branches to handle differing evolution between the two problem domains.

If the original piece of code had some logic bug, sure, it will likely be necessary to go fix that bug in all of the duplicated spots. But if the code evolves in one place due to the problem domain changing slightly, that rarely implies that the duplicated code needs to change.

Talking about text, as my eyes get older I need more contrast to make things legible. This low-contrast nonsense is anti-accesibility and makes the web harder to read for a lot of the population.

As for artwork, using this for foreground artwork makes things look hazy and over-exposed. Have a look at a good quality black and white print and see how black the blacks are. I want to see real blacks in images.
With lithium battery fires, you need to both extinguish the fire and cool the battery. They’re like those trick birthday candles. Water is usually best at both jobs.

What would be better is a charger hooked up to a standpipe with orifices in the car to extinguish and cool the batteries.

That which is may be that which is not, unless it is and your senses don't deceive you, and no evil genie is in play, and then it probably is unless you're trapped in a simulation.

But you can't solve everything with consensus, and you're welcome to play word games but forcing people is not "consent".

Show HN: I wrote a Christmas song about being a kid
As a kid, I was given a random box of legos with no guidance. I wanted to make things but I couldn't. Didn't know "how". I quickly lost interest.

As an adult, I've purchased a couple of sets and had a great time putting it together. Following the instructions, I can see more easily see how different combinations of bricks, when put together, makes a certain shape. I wish I had something similar growing up.

Some kids can be given a paint brush and develop enough interest by themselves to become an expert. Most kids need guidance. Whether its a coloring book or more formal instruction, having concrete and achievable goals is how most people stay interested in learning a skill. For people who do not have any artistic skills, it's not realistic to ask them to just pick up some paint and a canvas, and just "use your imagination". IMO, what Legos is doing is the right thing for most people.

For the people who can be motivated to learn in a vacuum, they have a valuable gift.
"You can only reliably retain that which you can defend." leads to "The best defense is a good offense" leads to proactive military interventionism policy like the invasion of Iraq because "Saddam is a threat".

Did anyone in the US seriously feel that they were in danger of losing something in America to Saddam?

Does anyone actually think today that China is going to invade and occupy the US?

Not saying NOBODY in the world has to feel this way. Taiwan surely does. Ukraine surely does. South Korea. A dozen other places in the world.

I use Dgraph, a "native" GraphQL DB. But I still transform the incoming/outgoing JSON to Java object and transforming the object again to/from the DB. Why? 2 things: Business Logic and Security/Access Control. Yes I can put (some) Business Logic in Dgraph DB, but it feels "leaky" like Stored Procedure (maybe because I come from Java). I feel it's tiring and stupid, but I don't know a better solution.

I reckon for this extension, the business logic uses Stored Procedure and Access Control uses PG's user role? Many apps I know simply have 1 user "myappuser" (or even default user) to access its DB.
I design in the CSS and always stick to shades of gray until I get the layout and interactions right, which are easy to reason and conjure off the top of my head. I can always tell `#ccc` is lighter than `#cacaca` but it's not easy tell how luminant a color is just by looking at its hex.

Lately, I've been playing with HSL, which makes the calculations easier, but luminescence is still difficult. Hopefully, LAB color space will be useful in that regard.

I've had this discussion with friends many times, and I do hope it becomes legal and socially acceptable (I know it is legal in some places, but not widely).

Last job we used a former game dev to create a single executable combining an ffmpeg core, an SQLite manager, REST server, a facial recognition engine, and an notifications push server into a single high compute executable. Considering the number of OS services such a Swiss army knife application requires, would such be appropriate for a unikernel, as a single app? Reason being, when combining all those aspects, huge optimizations become available that are simply not possible when the work is spread across even multiple executables.

Hey it's unrelated but, what's the relationship between Supabase and Postgrest?

My understanding is that Postgrest is a separate project that began development in an unrelated way to Supabase, and Supabase is just an user. Is that correct?

But, Supabase is also a contributor to Postgrest, right? Does Supabase employs engineers dedicated to it?
This is awesome! Really creative approach to the problem. Does this also support custom datatypes that can be marshalled to json? For example, PostGIS geometries?
