Isn't this solution exactly same number of bytes over the wire?
Huh. I was sure I was right about this but I tested and realised you are correct. CREATE INDEX (even with CONCURRENTLY) gets blocked by reads while waiting to acquire the lock it needs, but it doesn't block reads during that time.

I was getting confused because I'd seen my attempts to CONCURRENTLY add indexes time out waiting for locks, and had also experienced some of the other kinds of DDL that block reads while waiting for their lock (see https://dba.stackexchange.com/q/293992/18607), and I guess I just fallaciously assumed that index creation therefore also blocked reads without ever having tested it.

My "favourite" Teams bug is just swallowing input in chat [1]. I mean c'mon, a networked chat app is basically a sophomore year CS assignment, and not demanding at that. Swallowing/droping input would be enough to fail the grade. But somehow, one of the richest companies in the world, own by a business mogul that's also a symbol of the tech industry, cannot get it right. That's mind boggling.

Congrats on that (seriously!) but you were already wealthy and earning the type of salary that allows someone to live out there in the first place. You kind of proved my point.
I did have a report of someone trying to run thousands of SQLite databases with Litestream, however, Litestream is currently implemented using a polling mechanism so it gets expensive with a lot of databases. I'm going to switch it to use fsnotify so it will be feasible to run a ton of small databases but it doesn't work well right now.

Litestream should work fine on larger databases. The long-running tests for Litestream run against databases between 1 to 10 GB. It uploads the full snapshot periodically (once a day by default) but it mostly just uploads the WAL changes which are typically quite small (~1KB for an LZ4 compressed page).
Quite nice, what do the wikipedians think?

You're not making sense. The mobile page has a dedicated URL. If you're browsing it, then sharing the URL will send anyone else to the same resource you're browsing, regardless of their user agent. Everyone agrees that this is a bad thing for you to do. Don't do it.

The standard page will redirect mobile user-agents to the mobile page. It is a better URL to give out in every possible way. But note that this is the opposite of what you're saying; the URL that behaves the way you say you want is the bad one that you should avoid sharing.

I am sympathetic to the view that the URL should just point wherever it points. This would require a change to Wikipedia's standard page so that it would display when requested on mobile instead of redirecting. That's fine. But sharing mobile links would still be awful behavior. Link to the standard page. That's what makes it the standard page.
I'm not sure I follow how this is useful. How does the CSS injection send that information back to anyone to make this useful? The most likely scenario is the font loading that they mention but that doesn't actually give the bad actor any useful information except for the characters used (without the order or number of times they're used) and potentially the site they're being entered on.

This might work for very basic info/passwords but seems mostly useless unless someone has a way of then brute-forcing that information.

I feel like there has to be something I'm missing here...

I basically do the same, except I use a VR headset. I personally use a Valve Index headset with prescription lenses that are adapted to the VR headset, via a German company called VR Optician (no prescription required). I use Retinopsy VR Look usually for working. Retinopsy VR Look is not directly available in the Steam store (see: https://store.steampowered.com/app/750120/Retinopsy_VR__Look...) but you can get it in Viveport (
https://www.viveport.com/5445b338-0944-49a8-80ce-7c0f4ea7709...) and then import it into Steam. After that, you can delete Viveport.

I do this for another reason: severe convergence insufficiency. People in their 40s basically get convergence insufficiency and require prism lenses. But, mine is due to a rare neurological disease affecting my peripheral nervous system, which I have lived with since I was too young to read.

MIT license basically allows you to do whatever you want. however it should be well noted that if you really belive in software freedom and write your code for sake of furthering free software, choosing MIT is a naive choice since you let any derivates of your work to be closed source
This feels like a failing on Microsoft’s part, at least for current versions of Windows. The bar for a viable system font has been raised and it’s their responsibility as an OS vendor to ensure the bar is met across localizations.

As for old versions of Windows… well, one should probably look at their target market/user base. If your demographic is firmly Roman western use of system-ui is probably fine — as far as I’m aware, the bulk of remaining users of XP/7 are in East Asia, chiefly China.

The mechanism is simple: people keep running across it and finding it interesting. It's not spam, it's just the statistical cloud at work.

On HN, reposts are fine when a story hasn't had a significant thread in a year or so (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). So it's certainly ok after 5 years! Though I'd swear we'd seen more threads than that...

I wish wikipedia would be better compartmentalized, with articles tagged for their academic importance, because it makes it very difficult to download and/or host wikipedia when it includes a lot of noise, like celebrities, tv shows, local events, etc.

I guess that's what wikipedia portals are for?

For example I would love to be able to download a wikipedia archive just for math, computer science or history, etc, just like subject are found in an university, library or the dewey or congress classification.

Of course it's a lot of work, but I really feels it's important and it would make wikipedia more accessible and attractive, and also cheaper to distribute.

> China is a military power very close to the US in capability.

False, Chinese military is numerically inferior to America, with nearly 4-fold disadvantage in combat aircraft, and already surrounded by US allies, and military assets.

Ultimately, China don't have enough nuclear weapons to destroy enough US military bases to prevent effective retaliation.
Yes, but we're specifically asking you not to convey it, for the same reason that one doesn't convey lit matches to dry forests.

Afaik you can use the $30 module and be within acceptable tolerances, but you really should have at least a temperature and humidity sensor as well, because as that changes the other sensors will report differently.

I've noticed that even being exposed to pure carbon dioxide the sensors I have will increase the counts of CO, VOC, and HCHO, which is unlikely and a false read.

I only care about CO2 for my devices, so my two $30 sensor based devices are fine.
This seems to completely ignore the US's significant naval advantage and nuclear superiority, as well as a large number of well-armed allies around the world, and its satellite infrastructure

Also I think if US/China war happened, each country would break the other's civilian infrastructure (we know for sure that both countries actively probe the other's defences) badly enough that there would be serious threat to the health of billions of people, topple governments, and generally be harmful to a functioning economy.

I know it sounds harsh, unreasonable even, but....just move out of London. I"m in the north east, just bought a 3 bed house with a garden and a double drive for £180k. My friends just moved up from London literally a month ago, bought a massive townhouse with 5 bedrooms/3 bathrooms on a major street for £300k.

We're all tech workers, we all work remotely - why stay in London? Because it has nice restaurants and museums? I don't buy it. Not if you want to start a family, own a house, afford a nice car and still have some money left at the end of the day.
The online marketplace certainly engenders more efficient competition between sellers.

The landscape has changed but small businesses are still selling stuff. There are over 1.9 million small and medium sized business which use the amazon marketplace.

Mom and pop stores are now mom and pop sellers with amazon taking a cut. They make less money but don't have to pay rent for a commercial property.

Amazon is big but its certainly not an unprecedented level of horizontal domination. There's still walmart, ebay, alibaba, shopify...unless you're only looking at book sales.

Vertical integration wise it's trying to go there with its foray into business shipping + whole foods/amazon basics etc but seeing as its not close to dominant in terms of producing goods in any sector that I know of it's not inherently problematic.

Obviously things are different and worse in some respects (and better in others), but comparing it to the East India Company is very over the top at this point.
You live in the golden age of remote work. Ask your current company if you can go remote or find a job that will let you, there are a huge number of them currently and so many of them are actively hiring. Get a well paying job and go live somewhere affordable. After stating this please know I am not trying to make light of your situation. I know there are a million factors that can prevent someone from moving, elderly parents, children with established friends, and a million others. Just saying that there are options out there. I would move to Bali if I could, but responsibilities are what they are. 60 hours a week though is not sustainable, whether you get a remote job or not, I highly encourage you to find a job where the workload is manageable. I was in the same boat as you and the long hours were pretty much killing me. One day I just decided to get a new job, now I work 40 hours a week, make more money, the job is remote and if I am forced to work OT I get paid overtime. Life is short friend, make decisions that will maximize your joy. Wish you the best.

UK Minister Confirms Community Transmission of Omicron
I have been around for a number of mass layoffs, and you are right it sucked. It will always suck, there is no way around it.

It doesn’t have to take all day. Managers meet with the people being laid off in the morning. If it is too large to do 1on1, you can do small meetings with a few people and their manager.

Point is that it should come from your direct manager (or the closest direct manager in the chain if managers are also being laid off).
A question to the other comments and advice put here: Is the surge in blinding LED car headlamps going to accelerate any existing issues, or result in issues further down the road? I have no problem seeing at night, or around well-lit areas of town, but these new headlights? They are too bright and I have difficulty seeing in some cases. I've asked other people (younger, older) and they have all noticed it as well. It's given me concern for my, rather our, eyesight in the future if this persists.
It's strange that when you ask for en.m.wikipedia.org, Wikipedia responds by giving you what you wanted?

There is no way to interpret requesting a dedicated mobile URL other than as specifically asking for the mobile version of the page.

Or are you saying Wikipedia should be aware that you got the link from your obnoxious friend? HTTP doesn't really allow for that.
I stalled out after a couple of the chapters the first time I tried GEB. Let it sit for a year or two, picked it up again and got totally enthralled and just plowed through it. I think maybe you have to be in just the right mood, or at just the right place mentally, to really want to jump into GEB. But when you do... what a rush.
Out of curiosity, and with no judgment intended, what is the purpose of the air quality sensor if you are actively smoking? Is it a mechanism for you to determine whether the smoking is exposing other members of the household to second-hand smoke, etc.?

I only ask because it seems to me (with no concrete research) that the smoking risk is much greater than generalized air quality risk.

There's a simple solution to the house price issue: leave Seattle. There are many cities and towns across America with reasonable real estate, good communities, and good schools. In terms of local political zeitgeist you can easily take your pick as all kinds of tendencies are available.
"GROSS: So whether or not the king's using these properties or whether his children are using the properties, it seems that real estate is a popular way of sheltering money. And why is that? Because among the issues surrounding that is that when wealthy people from abroad buy up really expensive real estate and don't actually use it, it tends to kind of freak out real estate prices in that area. I know London's going through that. I think New York has gone through that. So can you talk a little bit about sheltering money in real estate?

MILLER: Yeah. It's a huge, huge issue, a global issue. And you're right, Terry, it distorts the real estate market when you have individuals - Saudi billionaires, Russian oligarchs or whoever - buying real estate as a way of basically moving money that they made from other sources into hard assets in Western countries that are attractive because of their stability. I mean, it works for them. it's basically - they've acquired an asset that they know is going to be reliable. It's going to be there. Their money - they're not going to lose."

This looks very cool. Looking forward to giving it a go!

One request right away: can you add a setting to add phantom space at the bottom of the page? I don't know if it has a proper name, but editors sometimes have a "virtual space" setting so you can scroll the last bit of the content to the top of your screen.

It's super helpful when you want to click on one of the last on-page heading anchors and it doesn't really scroll to that part of the page because there's not enough room to scroll it. If that makes sense...

Nice work!

Speeding up your Python data pipelines with Cython and Nim
Agreed. When I'm in "Job hunt mode" I write up a paragraph or two with what I'm looking for (salary, health insurance, 401k+matching, etc) and what I'd be willing accept in lieu of some of those things (no matching? Ok then I need to be making X% more to make up for that). It also includes what types of technology I'm interested in working with. Then I just spam that out to every recruiter that has or is currently emailing me or messaging me on platforms like LinkedIn.

Every time I do look at switching jobs I consider going into recruiting instead as most all recruiters I've ever worked with are completely incompetent. I don't expect them to know every technology and how it works but I do expect some basic patten-matching-level of competence (for example, you don't need to know anything about Angular/Vue/React but those should come to mind when "frontend" is mentioned and if a developer says they want to work with "Vue" the recruiter should be able to ask "Would you also be ok with Angular/React?"). Most of the time they function only as slow go-betweens in a game of telephone that they mangle horribly. I've had recruiters lie, ghost me, or just fail at basic message-passing. The last recruiter I worked with was so slow at responding that I just went around them and contacted the company directly and had an interview setup almost immediately. For the amount a recruiter gets for placing someone I'd expect they'd be much better at what they do.
Sorry for the late response, just saw this. When I did it last I just used the Docker-OSX project [1]. It should pretty much just work, the readme has a section about on running it on WSL.

If you don't want to use Docker it should still be possible with the OSX-KVM, I've done it before, but I can't remember the exact steps I took to get it running, sorry.

Should also note that I've run into issues with AMD CPUs, Intel seems to work better, but I also haven't tried it since they first added nested virtualization support with AMD CPUs to Hyper-V, so those problems might be fixed now.

That was what I was doing too. From one of the articles referenced on chargie.io [0] I learned battery lifetime is mostly about

- heat, which indeed potentially is lower with the small chargers, see Table 2

- keep between 35-75% charge level, see Figure 3.

With the astonishing battery life of the iPhone 13 under most daily use, even the _mini_, I will never go outside 35-75%. IOW I'm planning to buy a few Chargies, also leaving 1 or 2 in the car. That way I can use the iPhone 13 for another 6 years, like I did with the iPhone 6.

Maybe try Malazan Book of the Fallen, in terms of worldbuilding and plot/lore depth it is far ahead of any other (modern) fantasy books. Sheer scale of the world and its history might be a bit overwhelming at first, as it is not an easiest read, but often if you don't understand something it means that it will be referenced later in the book (or later in the series).
Boise isn't the most expensive real estate market in the country. Maybe the prices have been increasing the fastest?

Especially the way Windows Networking in general was all over the place but not primarily TCP/IP over Ethernet until Windows 98 when anyone could finally just add an Ethernet LAN adapter having RJ-45 connections and connect to most anyone else from then on not much differently than can be accomplished still today.

Which is why late '90's is when so many offices first started any networking to begin with, it could not very well be considered mainstream until after that.

I just took it as expressing confusion that anyone believed that to be a real option at all, since Christianity broadly isn't well-known for an anti-vax stance, so "Christian" without further qualifiers is surprising in this context. Christian groups known for being anti-vax tend to be relatively fringe, small, and well-known for those positions (e.g. Jehovah's Witnesses).

This matters for how upset anyone ought to be over this, assuming it's actually happening, since the government tends not to respect "deeply held beliefs" that, conveniently, were only recently arrived at, so depending on exactly which Christians we're talking about, denying these folks an exemption (despite whatever paper they got their pastor/priest/minister to sign) is either totally normal & expected, or somewhat unexpected and (perhaps) worrisome.

I don't see the post as flame bait, but an expression of confusion inviting clarification. I think the tone's appropriate for the original claim (which... smells a bit rotten).
What does "propagate" mean?
Instead of root cause analysis as blame laying, look at this as more of an identification of diagnostically important reasons. The above example doesn't help anyone. If code was late, would you accept "our developer is incompetent" as a root cause? Of course not. It's possible that they are, but it's also possible that requirements were not clear or that they took toe long to clarify, which led to a reduced amount of time to do actual development.

In a bigger sense though, the exercise is to force you to take a moment to look beyond band-aid solution, not as an exercise to critique capitalism.
