Perl has been rewarding me for decades. I will be paying for my kids' college with money I made with Perl. P5P is still active. The packages I use are still updated regularly. Perl itself is released like clockwork. Perl isn't going anywhere! Thank you Larry for building the tool that paid for my family's life
A bit of both, I guess.

>But when I talk to Americans about their lack of socialised healthcare, a common response is that “I’ve earned my money, if you want your own healthcare, you get your own healthcare”.

You don't seem to understand. It's those Americans who assume they would be able to get money for health in case they are injured through no fault of their own by filing a lawsuit.

They are also in the minority; 63% of Americans want universal healthcare[1]. Including the one you are talking to right now.

Perhaps your sample isn't representative?

I am tasked with standardizing ETL in a small org, airbyte is on my list to evaluate. As I write this there are 64 comments in the thread and only a single comment mentions actual experience using airbyte. Any other actual insights using the tool? What about Airflow downsides mentioned in the article? Thx!

Reaction to Tailwind Critic
Sports is the anchor by which unbundling won’t happen for a long time, especially with linear TV.

This is partially because it benefits the conglomerates business models to have as many channels and content streams as possible to sell ad time on, and partially because for sports teams they can functionally name their price.

In seattle, the brand new hockey team is only available through Root Sports, a smallish production company owned by Warner media and the baseball team. You can only watch the new hockey team if you subscribe to a cable package or online cable package (YouTube tv etc).

Why would a brand new team with no established fan base want to not be in front of as many eyeballs as they can? Because they earn more money when someone pays them to put them behind a cable company.

At no point does this “competition”, which it isn’t, benefit consumers. We used to regulate things like this.

The difference with hardware keys is that the primary key can’t be exfiltrated, and only one secret can be decrypted per physical touch, so rotation and recovery are possible without invalidating all secrets.
I can't think of a single time I wanted to allow push notifications or allow for my camera or mic to be accessed, but I can at least acknowledge that others may want this.
And there's not going to be a market for it even in devices which don't need large capacities, unless we force manufacturers like Bose to inform the public of the hazards of the products that they sell if they put dangerous batteries in them.

Which is why some of us here are urging the OP to sue: to make sure the safety innovation has demand in the free market.

But then you are back to square one - the point of contention: Without the checks, it's a self-driving system, but it can't do so safely (yet), hence the checks. And as you said, there seems to be an intention to be full self-driving, without checks, at some point in the future.
San Francisco mayor declares neighborhood state of emergency
I think at least two things are wrong with this kind of logic:

1. It’s never as simple as “if this then that”. Yes, there are studies that show short-term mood improvements in people upon leaving social networks. There are also studies on long-term health effects of reduced social connections which leads to depression and heap of other psychological problems. Guess how one connects with other people today? Through the social networks. Life may go on without online presence, but it’s a very different life from the one we were living 20 years ago, where only your weird cousin was frequenting MySpace and everyone else preferred to socialize in person.

2. These platforms consciously exploit biases and addictions in order to thrive. You may not see why people want to live through such ‘minor’ abuse as getting deleted from instagram, but it’s usually traumas that drive people to all kinds of abusive situations and self-medication, social networks being just a cherry on a cake. You cannot wake out of trauma, same way as you cannot simply walk away from smoking or alcohol abuse, and ignoring this seems very dangerous when our whole online presence becomes a “substance” for some people. Stopping abuse and healing in that case would also mean disconnecting from huge parts of social life and losing access to community.

Social networks take existing complex unsolved problems in our society, and dial them up to 11, with zero intention to design around the problem or take responsibility. Aligning incentives bottom up just does not work for these kinds of situations.
It's not you'll receive. It's can receive if you are wealthy and lucky enough to find a lawyer that wins against the corporation. I have no data, but I bet the lawyers of a corporation win a lot of lawsuits even if the consumer has high medical bills because of a faulty product. I doubt those cases make headlines.

I prefer that a decently regulated or public health insurance system covers costs instead of letting the risk to the consumer. The insurance can claim damages from the corporation if there is neglect.
I used to read voraciously as well. It's very time consuming. Looking back, I spent at least one university summer simply reading every day, rather than doing a boring internship to get me a high paid job out of university. Reading is ultimately a leisure activity, like watching movie or listening to music. It may occasionally cause you to think, but it is another form of consumption. Reading HN has done more for my career than any books I read.

Not saying that is bad though - honestly I miss those carefree days of my youth terribly. I hate the rat race I live in now and the modern TC driven tech culture.

Lots of what you describe sounds to me like symptoms of depression and burn out, which is something I'm familiar with. Could be you need to change jobs or change something else to get yourself out of the rut.

age-plugin-yubikey supports all PIV tokens. There are other 3rd party plugins in development for other hardware tokens. The v1.1.0 Go API will be able to drive arbitrary plugins, so you should be able to integrate with all of them!

> C is a subset of C++

It is not, they diverged since decades now.

Still, even if this was the case, the programming styles are so different that there’s nothing to gain considering them as any more similar as any two other languages.
This is an idea I had for ages. But no one seems to have made it yet. So I am probably missing something.

If you can point out why this wouldn't work. Or what materials/quality it would work well on I would appreciate it.
I doubt Youtube/Google cares that much. It's not really youtubes core business, more of a side gig for a set of products (cable channels) which frankly are in the process of dying.
Agreed. And also insist that they are required to label responses from ‘AI’ systems as such.

I’ve had many experiences talking to Google support (for ads where we are paying them thousands of dollars) where the responses which are allegedly from humans really seem like a conversation with an algorithm.

They have also introduced fake empathy messages now which come across as patronising and insulting. For example I was trying to upgrade my YouTube premium account and 3 different support reps all said a variation of “I have a YouTube Premium Family account and when I can’t get access to it I feel concerned, so I know what you’re feeling.”
There is an example in the README for how to use age-plugin-yubikey :)
happy birthday Perl! I think it is a very nice programming language. If you manage to write junk in perl, then you will probably manage to write junk in any language. I think it's not so much a problem of the language, it's a problem of of how to approach things.
I agree with you that escapism with tech can be more than a bad habit and it can take your attention away from things that would be more productive in the long term. However I don't know if I agree that it's a compulsion the way you'd think it with traditional addiction. If a friend you haven't talked to in a while suddenly came over to hang out, would you sit there and continue doom scrolling?

I also should clarify that I don't categorize reddit as social media because it's generally not people I know. I would consider fb, insta, snapchat as social media but not YouTube, reddit, or even here.

This reminds more of somewhere in between. Like stumbleupon but with a comment section where you can discuss things.

I am only differentiating because I believe the motivation for refreshing news aggregation sites vs social media is different. There's a much higher sense of urgency and importance when it's news. What you find interesting is also different between social media and news.

I think having a catch all term of being on the phone is not productive in helping people understand when the use of technology becomes unhealthy. Calling technology use unhealthy or even an addiction based on the perception of how long you spend is meaningless.

I agree that for some people using technology less would be positive, most often because they stop using technology to escape and ignore their responsibilities.

I don't know how fair it is to say it's garbage, some people like watching terrible films, some watch reality tv, some like video games, some like learning baseball stats, some like collecting NFTs, some like following twitter drama, I personally enjoy this kind of discourse on HN. How people choose to spend their time and what they enjoy is up to them.

I don't personally believe in the idea that constant stimulation is a bad thing as long as my responsibilities are taken care of. But I also have adhd so I don't know if everyone would share that sentiment.
Right? I used to just turn on YouTube TV for hurricane season for local coverage in case of a power outage. It's far easier to keep a cell phone charged than deal with a digital antenna (which might have been lost to high winds anyway) and relatively power hungry TV just to see what's going on. Then my wife started using the app too so I can't easily turn it off.

Back when Big Ugly Dishes were a thing it was far cheaper to piecemeal subscribe to your desired packages. Then DirecTV came along and forced the cable tv model on their subscribers and lobbied hard for laws that killed BUDs. I remember doing the math at the time and DirecTV was about double the price of a BUD.

Now we're back to adhoc subscription if you want to use a bunch of disparate apps and websites, so in one way it could be cheaper. But each streaming site charges retail prices to consumers so in aggregate it ends up costing as much or more than in the cable model. Even so the forced subsidy of ESPN in particular has always been a deeply aggravating thing for me. Sort of like agreeing to split lunch evenly and then discovering after the fact everyone's having sandwiches except the one guy who ordered steak.
This simple sentence is the tip of a gigantic iceberg :)
> the manufacturer of that lithium bomb

Thing is, small lithium bombs do less damage than large ones. Now Bose makes a point of advertising the long battery-life of these devices; 20 hours, they say.

Doesn't that mean that Bose is profiting from the long battery life, while failing to mention that their competitors sell cans with smaller ear-bombs in them?
> Who or what civilization managed to propagate this style so far beyond the reaches of what history taught us?

... European colonists, mostly. Star forts are what they built to protect themselves from the locals, who typically outnumbered them by some absurd margin. Because of this, you can find them wherever colonization was happening.

The Central Asian forts you linked are mostly part of the Siberian Line, a line of forts the Russians built where the northern forest turned to the southern steppe mostly in the early 18th century to protect their southern border from Kazakh raids, and to extend their influence eastwards. The land around them always looked like that as they were built on the periphery of the more fertile areas, to protect them. The forts themselves are so eroded mostly because they were not really built to last in the first place. As they were in the middle of nowhere, with no cheap transport available, they were built with what was locally available, which was often just packed earth with maybe a brick wall to keep the outer walls in shape.

I don't try too hard to remember stuff I read. Treating it like it's a textbook and I'm preparing for an exam sounds like a great way to suck all the enjoyment out of reading.
Not sure whether that is correct data.

Assuming for a moment it is, what would be the impact to life expectancy if nobody went and saw a doctor?
> I feel like C++ is kind of in the same boat: certainly what I learned 20 years ago is not relevant to how its done today

I'd like to see a site, perhaps a wiki, that has sections for various technologies (programming languages, operating system, applications, frameworks, libraries, protocols, etc).

For each, it would have some sort of list that lets you tell what from X years ago is still relevant when using that technology today.

In particular, I'd like it to include a list of good past books on that technology and for each tell you what from it would still be applicable as is, what would require minor modifications, what would not be useful, and what would be harmful if you were to try to use that book to learn that technology at the level covered by that book.

For example, it has been 20 years since I did any serious low level networking. If for some reason I needed to get back up to speed on that for some new project could I reasonably start by grabbing my copies of Stevens' "TCP/IP Illustrated" series [1] from my library and rereading them?

Let's End Period Pain
Hi everyone,

My name is Tsira, I'm the founder of My Obi. With our little device(portable belt) we help people manage their period pain by combining heat and vibration. A power duo that drastically reduces period cramps/pain. Over 80% of people who menstruate, experience period pain, that is a huge number and the current solutions are very limited. We'd love to change that and be part of a positive change and provide solutions that our bodies need.
As we're just starting out, we'd love to grow our online community on Instagram. Having an online, growing community will help us immensely with spreading the word.
If you stand behind the idea, please consider having a look on our Instagram page and a follow. A small action like this can have a huge impact.

I thank you all so much in advance!

Warm regards from Barcelona.

The must be something missing from that statement, I don't see how that could possibly be true - that a third of all people in the US die due to medical malpractice? Accidental death perhaps?
That's what happens when you run your infrastructure on $5 servers, even if paying more, the company is optimized for people paying $5 and running mostly side projects.

If you're doing anything serious, go with gcloud or AWS. Their support might suck as well, but 99,9% of the time the problem is your fault and not their service, because it is so widely used and so many businesses depending on it that they'll notice even the slightest issue on their platform.
I guess the clever lock semantics are SKIP LOCKED, which is designed to support efficient queues. The cleverness is inside PostgreSQL rather than in the application, other than the cleverness of knowing about this feature. https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/what-is-select-skip-lock...
He's just leaving them with a different misconception, now he's told them to ignore the wires completely. I don't think this video helped anyone (for the various reasons stated in this whole topic).
You mean the same set of people that a decade earlier were doing the same architecture designs in C, C++, Smalltalk, with help of DCE, CORBA and COM?

In C you would be playing with lots of interesting macros at enterprise level scale, doing Sun RPC calls, encoded in ASN.1, and maybe even manually twerking the generated stubs.
How is an encryption backend supposed to fix this?

It’s not really clear to me how it could be even expected to do so, or what gives the impression that the goal of a 650-lines bash script would be to scale “from 1 to enterprise”.

Still, asserting that only your problems are real world problems and worth solving is pretty reductive.
I had the same experience but my problem was from the sheer amount of games being released. I couldn’t pick one, became overwhelmed and then lost the drive to try something.

So I stopped worrying about the reviews, about length about all the details behind a game. I check out Steam 250 or SteamDB charts, pick one out and just try it. I have no expectations going in, and I’m happy to drop it if I don’t find it enjoyable, there is plenty more to try :) You also have to listen to your mind and don’t force it if you don’t feel like playing.

This has been a success with me trying out Timberborn, Dyson Sphere, Gunfire Reborn, Valheim as well trying out Minecraft again.

Hypermedia is just the addition of graphics, sound, etc... to your web page. I don't understand the context you're using it in here.
Did you perhaps mean you changed the geometry instead of topology? Your comment got me wondering if you can change the topology without changing the schematics and I now think you can, as a schematic only defines the electrical connections and the topology is I think also the non electrical relations (what component is next to what). As far as I know topology is strictly dimensionless; size and distance are properties of the geometry. If I were not on HN I would apologise for the pedantry, but here we are
That’s an interesting point re/ yearly but on march 2020 yearly inflation dropped to 0% so I assume at the start of the pandemic many prices were down, not up
I have an objection to the idea that understanding is just a pattern recognition, or prediction of the next token. I think fundamental to understanding is the concept of logical contradiction, which I don't believe GPT-3 has. I don't think GPT-3 can say, wait, what I am saying is BS, because logically it's not consistent.

To argue that, I propose a "simplified Chinese room". We have an automaton in the Chinese room, which does only pattern recognition, and can learn by matching patterns and structures, i.e. it will give an answer that is similar to what it has seen before. And we want to teach it to answer a problem "recognize whether the given logical formula is satisfiable". So we give it formulas and it tries to pattern match the formulas it already has seen. Unfortunately, there always exists a formula which is matching closely everything that was shown so far, and yet the correct answer is unexpected. So such an automaton will never be able to discover the actual rule.

What I think has to be added are different levels of discourse, or, a discourse about discourse. With people, we can say, "stop joking around", and it's a meta-discourse signal that we want stop discussing imaginary worlds and focus on the real one, for example, which has to be totally self-consistent. I believe an analogy can be made with Futamura projections, we can have not only systems that learn a specific task (like even GPT-3 does), but also systems that learn to produce an agent to do a specific task, from a metalanguage description that encodes certain rules on how to do it (for example, to follow logical consistency). And if the metalanguage is general enough, you get general intelligence, because then you can apply the agent production process to itself.
They really managed to get a success this time: lots of views for this controversial video! But for me, it feels like a lot of credibility capital was spent. I was probably part of the core audience a few years ago.
New Clues about the Origins of Biological Intelligence
Much of electronic engineering is built around ‘lies’ - abstractions and simplifications because that makes sense in the vast majority of cases but are ‘wrong’ at some level.

You don’t need to use Maxwells equations or the underlying semiconductor physics equations when biasing a transistor, or calculating the output of a digital XOR gate because there are abstractions that are far simpler to use and work in just about all practical situations.

And of course those abstractions break down in thought experiments and beyond their limits in the same way that Newtons laws work up to a point and then you need Einstein.
And even if algerian leaders where not a problem, they would still need to stay clear from all the area where France had nuclear tests, especially places where the rate of thyroid and pulmonary cancer is higher than average. Not sure the locals would be happy about it.

And (I'll reuse your phrasing) since french leaders are still today blaming muslims for the problems they are facing now, I wonder how these projects would be led, whether in Algeria, Tunisia or Morocco.
