Admittedly i dont write much C these days. But as someone who has integrated chrome/cef across platform (desktop/mobile) i would say that ive never seen such important piece of software have so many edge cases, regressions and gotchas. The CEF guys are in a constant struggling keeping there implementions stable; it takes a company the size of of MS/Apple todo anything more with it. MS is spending 1-2yrs developing there webview2/Chrome99+ macos integration - even though edge already runs on macos.
I think you may have read the intended message a bit differently; I was trying to state that diet and lifestyle choices can't cure Crohn's or put it in remission; they may ease symptoms but they don't magically heal people (like some even in this thread would suggest).

I cannot speak from any position of authority-- but I don't think even 5% would be a major reduction in price-- but its likely the only thing the city of SF can alter. My feeling is illegal weed is at least half the price of the legal stuff.

The rest is state regulations. The laws are as onerous as having to tag and register each plant, what happened to it, their weight at harvest, and sometimes genetic testing of those plants.

The idea is to create a paper trail such that illegally grown weed can't be laundered into being legal-- but my god is it a MESS.
There was a discussion about a similar clause in employee contracts with Google Switzerland. Turns out such conditions are illegal according to Swiss law, and the clause was dropped.

I can't for the life of me find the actual PDF they say they made, with the whole typesetting pipeline in action. I don't think I've missed anything obvious, the website has this (without a link)

> a pleasingly typeset edition of Principia’s first 131 pages in LaTeX, going from its introduction through the end of its propositional logic (up to *5).

It has a link to a 113-page PDF that's just the Coq source rendered with syntax highlighting. So that's not it. The remaining PDFs in the GitHub repo are only samples of two of the propositions.
We had tried to do a logical replication-based strategy for Postgres to achieve no-downtime version upgrades during business hours, but there were so many gotchas and things you have to do on the side (stuff like sequence tracking etc), that we just gave up and took the downtime to do it more safely.

I think Postgres is really cool and has a lot of good reliability, but I've always wondered what people do for high availability. And yeah, pgbouncer being a thing bugs,

It feels like we're getting closer and closer to "vanilla pg works perfectly for the common worklfows" though, so tough to complain too much.

The communists are ruthless when we complain, and we're brainwashed if we don't - there's no way we'd approach this as a complex multi factor and multi opinion problem.

IMO logical replication is too slow for Production. At scale you'll be doing physical replication and rarely using logical replication as it is quite slow in comparison still (As of PG 13.2). Logical replication is helpful when doing a Postgres version upgrade primary/replica switch, but not useful many other places at the moment.

You do need to use an external connection pooler (pgbouncer etc), though Postgres 14 has made some large improvements in gracefully handling large numbers of connections, though you can still run into problems.

As for the query planner/optimizer, so far in all of the optimizations and improvements I have worked on, I've only run into 1 or 2 that had a query plan that made my head scratch. There are some extreme edge cases that will prompt the cost function to prioritize the wrong index, but in production I have found that 99%+ of slow queries can be easily improved by a rather simple composite index. One thing I do love about postgres is using partial indexes, which can significantly reduce the amount of space required and also make it extremely easy to create indexes to match predicates of a function, while indexing other columns.

Other than one or two slow queries I've tracked down and worked on, I've never wished that I could "hint" to use a particular index over another.

Now some of the things that people like for Postgres over Mysql, in practice aren't that great at the moment. People like doing atomic DDL operations, when in reality locking the table schema can cause lots of problems, and in production you only add indexes etc concurrently.

You still get the issue of dead tuples in mysql and need to periodically clean them up using OPTIMZE TABLE et al, though postgres and innodb have different designs, but ultimately it needs to happen sometime. Its just that postgres IMO requires more tuning to get the right balance.

Firefox is truly amazing today. I keep a chrome instance for Google docs which seems to work better there, the rest I do in FF which is better for everything else...
Is the "time domain" function a complex function of time, and "spectral" domain the F.T. of that function?

I ask because it's rather unusual to look at the F.T. of complex functions, since most useful F.T.s only deal with real-valued functions of time and it might be extra confusing as the F.T. is no longer symmetric as a result

It may also be nice to use different syntax, like `x(t)` and X(\omega)` since "s" can be a bit overloaded in the context of Fourier theory

The headline is a bit misleading. Google's only removing Pirate Bay from Netherland results, not global results, due to a local court order. That makes a lot of sense - Google complies with local laws in many countries.
In general I agree and have found it really hard to find tools which work well for different degrees of impaired colour vision. I've tried a few apps which are supposed to show how things look for me and the results are almost always not quite right.

I will say that I can barely tell the difference between the original example image on this page and the deuteranopia one. According to tests I have a moderate deuteranomaly.
> But there is something wonderful in watching a figure emerge from the stone unsummoned, feeling the presence of something within you, the writer, and also beyond you – something consistent, wilful, and benevolent, that seems to have a plan, which seems to be: to lead you to your own higher ground.

As a student of spiritual work, it sounds like the author is pointing to an actual felt experience. It’s very much possible (and common among serious inner-work students) to dis-identify from our usual sense of self and instead feel a “presence” or a sense of “being”, where our body takes actions without us a experiencing ourselves as the “doer” of those actions. It’s as if the universe (or God for the religiously inclined) is acting through us and we are simply a field of awareness that happens to include the body and mind and our whole nervous system.

I'm not even competitive, but my tracker devices are hugely motivational for me. And having useful metrics like heart rate as a tachometer for my body is immensely valuable for all sorts of activities.

I'm healthier and more active now because of them, and they've gotten me more in tune with my body, not less.
Agreed. The point of that example was simple vendor lockin
I’ve held this opinion from before OpenZeppelin existed, and I am glad they have helped tremendously.

Governments can be a collaborative coding participant as we use this technology to re-evaluate the concept of governance and what redundancies the world actual needs to handle disputes or control behaviors with the pooled capital of taxpayers and the credit markets.

Right now this conversation has been limited to “adversary or not”, and that’s also shortsighted. Fortunately they’ve all moved too slow and there is enough capital within the crypto ecosystem to capture them. So I dont think it will be an organic growth from here to this reality, just consensus flippenings as wealthy backers direct public agencies and legislatures to “do the needful”.

As you might imagine, this was a much more extreme position to publicly have 6 years ago. But less absurd now, still not something to say on TV or in a web 2.0 office setting but at a bar or conference its understandable by people now, yay speculation driving innovation.
Obviously a few of these need work, but I've been in the unfortunate position of recovering a Linux system with a busted .so that broke almost all of coreutils, but cargo worked and so did the coreutils alternatives. Static linking is an absolute godsend.
Depends on how much regulation you place around the market. According to wikipedia, most cities and counties in California have banned cannabis retail, which is just one thing likely to contribute to an ongoing black market. I imagine there are others.

It’s refreshing to know that tier 2 cloud companies (Oracle, IBM etc) all have similar internal perspectives, ie leadership insisting that they’re making amazing progress in the cloud while their market share either stagnates or reduces.

I thought it was lowered expression of the receptors covid-19 binds to (known condition among smokers) ace-2... Because smokers have suppressed ace-2 while smoking but a higher baseline; they are protected from getting it because when they are in public they are likely smoking and protected but once they get it they get very severe COVID...

I mean it's all kind of a just-so story. Iirc Omeprazole which also depresses ace-2 failed as a prophylactic treatment
Somehow I don't think an ocean simulation needs to be in Python so some startup can use it to... what, sell ads or something?

Anyone interesting enough to be looking at your ocean simulation code can probably handle it being in Julia, and may even prefer it, since the language is so much better designed for this kind of thing than Python.
Firefox is less secure, as has been said many times here already. You might dislike the Blink hegemony but they're the only ones who invest enough in security. Vivaldi's closed source, and Firefox doesn't have site isolation on all platforms yet. (Neither does Safari). Chrome had it in 2018. 3 years is not excusable when a 0day can be the difference between freedom and jail (or worse).

"Privacy" is defective when your exploit mitigation is deficient. You've got a lot worse privacy when your whole computer is owned, than when a few websites track which other websites you've been to.

None of this is new. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27219402

Brave has a top-notch team, uses Blink, and has some of the best fingerprinting protection I've seen in any browser, much better than Safari, and better than Firefox. They have good people working on it. The fact that an attempt to improve privacy [0] is being used to bring Brave bad PR is ironic.

My large employer has a certain low, background level of turnover. Work there long enough and this will add up. A dear friend helps run a company where restructuring is going on with mid-high level people get cleaned out. This stuff is all over the place.

Look, if you failed to have forethought to arrange for a new position ahead of time, failed to see this event coming, or don't have the contacts for a new position without blabbering on about publicly ... just come out and say: I want a position.

We found SOLID back in the 90s, which was an awesome, full featured Finnish (I think?) SQL database server. It was proprietary but super cheap. Then HP bought it and jacked the price 10x and we were in trouble cos our product pricing at the time depended on the low cost SQL server (this is before cloud of course).

Before that I ran something called Unify which was ... interesting.
I remember a huge Reddit thread about a guy who used to work at Oracle. I can't find it anymore, it probably got deleted as people are leaving the Reddit ship but I digress.

For a lot of people 10 dollars a month isn't cheap.

For me - no problem. I have a few side projects and I shell out around 15 - 25 Euros each month.

But I know a lot of people who would love to do stuff like that and have no way of at least being easily reimbursed by the community for their efforts.

A community of 50 people could be financing this with 20 cents each per month.

But as privacy intrusive advertising became the norm no solution ever grew enough to become feasible for the masses.

I remember the flattr button. I used flattr for a while. But in the end I stopped.

10 bucks are not cheap to anybody. I wish easy micropayments were a thing.
The title is an appeal to emotion. Many small factories could also consume the same inputs as a few large ones.

I notice that of all their "topics", global population is not one of them. The root cause and the one thing that can address every one of their other issues without reducing quality of life or require technology advancements. I don't get the idea that solving problems by addressing their root cause is high on the agenda for the corporate-environmentalist movement as a whole though.
This is something pot activists have complained about from the get-go. Legalization was sold to politicians with the promise of high taxes. We knew that poor users would be priced out of the market, that legal weed would be a privilege enjoyed by the rich, that dealers with criminal records would be shut out of the legal market.

I think the peak of professionalism is:

1. At all times, you should tell the truth.

2. As long as you're employed, you either speak the company line, or carefully avoid commenting, in order to avoid breaking rule 1. If you can't neither avoid commenting or lying, you should quit.

3. Once you're no longer employed, you should avoid spilling company secrets, disclosing confidential information, etc. Beyond that, see rule 1.

I'd be concerned if he:

1. Went to conferences and recommended MySQL, despite thinking it was a bad product

2. Went to conferences and trashed MySQL, despite being employed in part to promote MySQL

Both of those would be, in different way, unprofessional. But what he did? Seems fine to me. I certainly don't think he was obligated to share his unvarnished thoughts about MySQL, but I don't think he was obligated not to either.

I will seek when the option is presented. It’s either tiny or nonexistent though (e.g. for gifs, or if the author didn’t enable the video controls, which default to disabled in many browsers). I’m happiest when a video loads paused, and has a giant play button on it.

How are you scrolling? When I’m browsing and reading my hand lives on the mouse. On mobile it’s even easier to click to play. In either case, clicking on a video takes less than 1 second.

I do agree that extremely short loops can be a different story, but 20 seconds is by far over that time for me. 5 seconds is around the threshold.

I’m sure this preference varies by person.
Brave on Android requires Google Play Services. So that's a big no for me.
It depends on the country, but originally our Telephone Companies were motivated by Quality of Service. However all that changed when the companies were privatised and profits became their only concern.

Historically there was a continuous upgrade of equipment as the technology improved. Manual exchanges became automatic, step-by-step gave way to cross-bar which gave way to electronic exchanges. Analog phones were replaced with digital and ADSL. And had that steady improvement continued, ADSL would have routinely been replaced with Optical fiber.

What stopped the perpetual upgrades was the arrival Thatcher/Regan/Howard and the advent of Neoliberalism. Which meant that anything which provided a Public Service (gasp Socialism!) was completely abandoned. We are only now starting to realise the long term cost of their vandalism.

From the original article:
“Mandelman’s office pointed to a Dec. 19 report from the California Legislative Analyst’s Office that found that increased state cannabis tax rates were directly linked to illegal cannabis sales.

In addition to the illegal sales, increased theft is also creating problems for cannabis retailers.”

I’m sure other factors are that retailers have to pay rent and payroll taxes. I have no idea what the price differential is, but I could imagine it being quite significant.

Making things illegal doesn’t mean it goes away. Most often, it just makes it more expensive because people are exposed to more risk from selling it. But if you don’t enforce your laws and there is no risk, then of course the legal version of it can’t compete. If the city didn’t enforce any of its awful zoning laws, housing would be super cheap.

People buying from dealers aren't considering the illegality in the choice at all, though. They're a choice between continuing to buy from someone they know vs entering a storefront that is going to make them provide a bunch of PII on the first visit, which also costs more.
