The thing that I really struggle with understanding about the Senate system at least is how when there is a 51/49-ish split that it makes any sense for that seat to be controlled for the entire state by the 51 side. Why wouldn't doubling the seats make this more representative?
My 2 cents on sqlite:

https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/

An interview with one of the creators:Mr. Richard Hipp - for a better and deeper understanding what pitch they took and what industries they were in to. Their approach to overcome the db-world that they saw in front of them. See the obstacles and the solutions and why it came to be that underestimated 'sqlite' that powers a good chunk of all you mobile actions triggered by your apps - but just read that interview - i cannot reproduce the dramatic here in my own words (underestimated).
In the late 1990s you'd walk into Walden Books or the equivalent store and this would be staring at you:

And it seemed truly astounding. Like we were getting to journey across the universe. The visuals that Hubble presented, the variety and scale of that style of imagery (great for PR), and the way it cultivated the imagination of the mass public, is still unrivaled.
Have the spectator really not updated this page since October?

Poor form fellows, very poor form.
I wrote a script to find all csv files in a directory and figure out the best way to load them into SQLite.

It gives me a handy way to run queries on data.

I tried to make it super smart too and really make educated guesses on what data types to use and even linking foreign keys.
Not sure about that. Startup/fast growth tech space is in a bit of a bubble, so your equity very likely could be worth less by the time it vests.

Lots of share price growth over the past two years has been valuation expansion, and marginally due to organic growth. Even the big guys... like NVDA has doubled their profit, but their share price is up 10x. Obviously not a sustainable trajectory

FB on the other hand has like a 20 forward PE, despite high growth. Unlikely to fall much, except if new regulation/legislation passed that effects them.

If I had to pick any spot, it would be as a founder/cofounder seeking capital for seed stage right now. Personally wouldn't join the majority of companies for equity and expect it to retain value.
“Unexplored World” definitely implies a planet. “NASA will launch mission to an asteroid in the main asteroid belt” would be a fine title.
Why would anyone opt in for Arduino while there is a superior platform like Raspberry pi? It’s much more capable with same maybe less price. You can even get 4 core cpu with Rpi zero 2 for 15 bucks.
I'm not really sure why this post has downvotes. docker-compose dramatically lowers the barrier for setting up a single machine with multiple services (your service, db, etc). For a similar experience you do the same with AWS RDS or equivalent. Performance will be better and worse in various situations but if your software still fits in one machine you're largely going to be "ok." Backups, restore, monitoring, etc are all important for running software and that's something an sqlite file doesn't really offer the best solutions for. It works great for some things (I've used it many many times) but it's not perfect for everything.
We’ll give you a “D” anyway.
To my knowledge, WAL mode still needs to serialize writes for each database file. I'm assuming this is not a setup where there are too many concurrent writers?
I'm surprised to see so many suggestions for Office 365. The cloud exchange configurations for wildcarding and alias sending were very challenging at least for me to configure. I also found the mailbox export to be impossible to get working. These tasks were both trivial in Google (where I was migrating from at the time) and Fastmail.

I think that fastmail's implementation of custom domains and wildcard alias sending is the best I've seen to date.

That might not be a feature you care about, but I'd certainly consider Fastmail either way. Their domain DNS checklist page is really helpful and responsive in helping check you've set it all up correctly (DKIM, SPF etc).
I find that it's precisely when I'm mired in these "day-to-day worries" that I find shrooms most effective at breaking me out and getting a renewed sense of relative priority.

I can understand your concerns about a "terrible trip", especially since these type of worries typically make me paranoid and anxious when I'm on cannabis. However, I've found that when I do shrooms the psychedelic experience always side steps these anxieties completely and reminds me that these concerns are not the core concerns I have.

What's different about doing shrooms as an adult is that I'm not like "whoa, all this stuff isn't real!", I already know that. It's for those times when I feel daily stresses slowly crushing down, am fully intellectually aware that these things are ultimately not important, but can't quite find the emotional release. Shrooms aren't a miracle cure, but typically I'll feel a bit refreshed for quite awhile. As a teenager shrooms are about changing your perspective of big, metaphysical things "whoa man!", as an adult they're about changing perspective on those small things "oh right, performance reviews really don't matter." The insights are the things you, for the most part, already knew, but have been too distracted by daily life to really realize.

I had bad trips when I was younger, but being older and knowing both myself and psychedelics better I find I am much better at keeping myself from spiraling out of control too easily, and much more deeply feel the wisdom of "there are no bad trips". The other nice thing about tripping as an adult is you have much better control over the scene portion of it.
I used acid and selected a nosql.
> That said I do fully support a far heavier taxation on capital gains if your net worth is in the hundred millionaires.

That will be middle class if the gov keeps printing money the way they are. Setting tax rates on net worth is absurd. Taxes should be a flat rate cut of income, and all forms of income should be taxed the same.
Well the idea behind bitcoin and what not is to use it as money. You might not think it fits the bill but that's the idea, and I think it's a good idea, whether or not execution in it's current state is sufficient.

We have a court system primarily because it was the most efficient way before. It is older than computers, it exists because there was no other way, not because writing logic is hard, although it is. But there's a trade off, if we assume you can never write logic to handle laws then you accept that you will always create a position of power from which law can be abused.

Why isn't it a feature?

Yeah, a marketplace.
on iOS, it's on-device. on Android, Azure - so far I haven't hit the free limit of 5hr/mo. Might start charging Android users if we hit the free limit.
If you were that confident in Meta stock going up, then you could work for Stripe and split the difference in compensation with long term OTM call options in Meta.
It's funny how the article glosses over smugmug and almost make them sound like some company that didn't know about this space. Smugmug was there from the beginning and always was the "better flickr", except they did not have (or only very limited, don't quite remember) free accounts. Now smugmug was never aiming to create a social network, but instead wanted to create a website for photographers to exhibit and share their photos. IIRC they grew slowly and never had big VC investments, but are definitely very good at what they do, it's just not a photo sharing service for the masses.
It solves the "how do we make non-ad-supported content palatable for consumers." Federation ensures that there's a big enough pool of content that you won't say "I don't know if this is worth $20 per month" or "I'll subscribe for one month and binge-consume everything, then cancel."

Yes, it involves customized billing and account infrastructure, but if you set things up properly, the cost of the infrastructure should be less than the revenue it provides. If the federated content creators, in turn, fund a "captive" development and maintenance team to supply things at cost, it may well be cheaper than leasing off-the-shelf solutions.
Copy the questions, not the answers
> Still, I made a claim (the C Language will never stop you from making mistakes), and therefore I need to substantiate it.

Naturally this clickbait cannot be substantiated, since it only needs to save me from one mistake to falsify it. And my compiler does that 50 or 100 times a day when writing a lot of code.
Didn’t know that! Sounds like a better monetisation strategy with user in mind.
Super clean setup on iOS! Can’t wait to try it out, the concept is lovely.

I use notion a TON but it’s not great for the most immediate time sensitive notes.

Do you think you could integrate google calendar / reminders in some way? A lot of the kind of notes I would record on this kind of app have some form of either deadline, or are only relevant after a certain date or time. For example, “check in on this thread Monday morning”. I use google calendar reminders for this right now as they stack up but it’s not a great solution.
I also wonder how much goodwill is still left from Facebook not being part of the salary collusion stuff over a decade ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...
cool. but on Android, wouldn't Gboard speech input, which also works offline, suffice for the speech input and transcription part?
This hate of Facebook is massively overblown from both the right and left wing. The right hates the fact that the online population is younger and more inherently liberal and the left needed a convenient excuse for their electoral failures. I don't see them as a particularly evil corporation. Their engineering talent is exceptional and they have ambitious goals. Seems like a great place to work ( fyi I don't work there )

As long as you're estimating your future costs correctly then you're golden. If you aren't and your application becomes complex through growth or you need resiliency then you'll need to pay that cost and that cost can be big.
If we're being pedantic, the specific legal phrase is "witness against himself". The courts have interpreted that more broadly than just testimony.
ShareX can do this.

It lets you select a region + record with one hotkey, detects window borders and snap to those as regions, optionally converts between gif/mp4, and uploads to a variety of sites. Also handles screenshots with a quick built-in image editor, file uploads, and more. <10MB total size so fairly lightweight.

It's open source, too!

Yep, I had a lot of 'I would never' kind of deathbed decisions which i would be happy with 10-20-30 years later.

I rather look at current longterm goals: these might(do) change over time but that is the closest to deathbed goals as I can get.
I completely agree with everything you wrote above, except for the last sentence—I don't disagree that state politics affect each other because of the existence of a federal government, and therefore this is not the miscommunication between us.

the interesting part to me is exactly what you highlighted in your third paragraph: Democrat voters encourage each other to move to certain states that meet certain criteria, and, as far as I can tell, no other group of citizens in the country engages in similar behavior. I believe the miscommunication here is more ideological: I cannot imagine myself moving to a given state with given criteria in order to alter elections, or to otherwise bolster any kind of ideology or demographic.

this is really interesting to me because it for me this is just an idea that would never cross my mind, and I'm trying to figure out why that is, because this ideological distinction seems significant. I don't buy that it's just because of Senate seats.
In tech the usual way it works is “every year you stay, I give you 25% of the bonus” and because the bonus is in stock, it can actually increase over time.

That is why I feel this bonus is not a good idea, $50k/year is not enough comp bump to hold someone in the Bay Area
That's what I was hoping, but I tested it.

Used a VPN endpoint in a country that would surely get blocked. Attempted to login with wrong password, did not receive email. Logged in with correct passphrase, received email. Both scenarios looked the same on the login screen, so there wasn't any indication that I logged in with the correct password if I were the attacker

edit: last night they released something that says they sent some of those emails in error. I hope that is the case, but it's still not very re-assuring. I went through and changed all of my financial/critical accounts yesterday in precaution, today my bank account was locked out from brute force. Could be a coincidence, but that is the first time it's ever happened with that account
I think a little earlier. Religion, in particular Christianity, is responsible for create a massive conceptual divide between mankind, created in gods' image, and everything else, lower life forms at our disposal.

Another pivotal moment would be have to be the invention of agriculture, some 10K years ago. Only from this point on begins the idea of animals as property.

A couple billion dollars divided by the number of houses in LA... actually wouldn't add that much value to the housing prices. After all, the total assessed value of real estate in the county is about $1.7 trillion.
So, the Earth Overshoot Day people know exactly the model of the Universe that they can accurately measure (let alone predict) all these things?

Where is your 'scientific thinking' in questioning all these things?
> Since Veblen goods are defined as anything where the demand curve slopes upward, that would only be a result of an empirical study if the study was designed to test, and strong enough to confidently disprove, the existence of goods with a flat demand curve. But it's not meaningful in any case.

Look at the other things that are Veblen goods. They are status symbols. Handbags, rare cars, etc. Kidnapped children are clearly not a member of this category.

Please. This is a ludicrous demand for rigor, and not how science actually works.
I'm slightly scared to ask what a right wing party would look like if the current Republican party is considered leftist.

I think the initial cause was a BLM flag that a parent took issue with being in the classroom. Initially they were going to just ban BLM flags due to the highly contentious nature, but extended the ban to all flags except the US and state flag.

Similar to this book "ban"...is it unreasonable that teachers not bring their own personal political view points into the classroom and push them on to children? Is a political and judgment free classroom an unreasonable expectation?

How about if a teacher is a Trump supporter and wears a Trump hat to school...do we expect them to be fired because of it? This happened to someone I know...and I don't see any huge outrage in the media because of it.

Kind of like this [1] [2] [3].

In my personal anecdotal experience, I found the US Midwest culture's handling of conflict shares a lot in common with what I saw in Japan. It is not too surprising to me the homogeneity enforcement follows similar structures in both cultures.

This has a good side to it, though. Once you the friendship of an individual deeply embedded into that culture, beyond that surface niceness, though it may take decades, it is a firm friendship, and they'll give you the benefit of the doubt to give you time to prove your point.

Is this a situation where multiple web servers in a farm are accessing the SQLite databases on a file server?

Can you elaborate? I’m imagining that the DB web server process would have no problem opening a thread per user and multiple threads can write to a SQLite store. Or, optionally you could buffer multi-threaded requests into a single queue for DB I/O. I’m not seeing why the single process constraint is a major impediment, or maybe I guess I’m not sure I understand why multiple separate processes might be required. Am I misunderstanding your comment?
I love how the poster of the question says:

"Please don't tell me, it's not possible..."

and then right below it there is a button "Solved! Go to the solution", which doesn't actually show the solution.

I guess this is another case of users losing control over their machines.
These are surreal numbers. I need to quit teaching.
> It appears that President Roosevelt forced the current expansive interpretation of the Commerce Clause by threatening to pack the Supreme Court with political cronies if the justices ruled against his New Deal legislation.

Based on what? The expansive interpretation is usually traced to Wickard v. Filburn (1942), the court packing scheme was introduced and ultimately fizzled in 1937; the one case while it was an active issue that is sometimes credited to the threat of the court packing scheme was one weighing state police powers (in setting a minimum wage) against the Constitutional guarantee against states restricting freedom to contract, which didn't involve the Commerce Clause at all. (And even that case the decisive shift in position appears to have actually occurred before the court packing threat, in any case.)

What's the highest level engineering title/level you can get that a "normal" (i.e. not some famous brand-name/top 1%-er people) engineer can expect to get there?
Actually, this is not correct at all. Every Bitcoiner I know thinks (most) NFTs are a scam, a grift, a fad... If you said "Cryptocurrency" enthusiasts, sure.

But Bitcoin.. Bitcoin is something else.
Except all these things can be trivially forked. If you don't like how the VC one is doing things, just fork it. There are a billion forks of everything in the crypto space, for exactly this reason.
I am completely aware of that study. That study is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my comment. The effect sizes were barely significant. Not all groups managed any effect of significance. There are biases, confounding factors and limitations of that study. Those results are not the slam dunk you think they are. I implore you to read the study carefully.
I had been cutting caffeine out of my life for awhile. Ended on ER where they stuck an actual bag of caffeine to my IV.

Android has on-device transcription for some devices (e.g. Pixel 5 and above). Maybe you could use that instead of charging?
I agree, but why bother to arrange to have them kidnapped? Surely the risk is much higher than the reward of a tax break. It seems like an inherently stupid idea compared to just abandoning the kid.

Who would even agree to kidnap somebody else’s child for this purpose? I’d suspect the first 9 out of 10 convicted felons would still tell the police your plans. Most people would be too suspicious that you’re trying to entrap them, asking them to kidnap your child.

And what can you offer someone to agree to do this if your own reward is a temporary tax break? At this point, you might as well kidnap your own child.
Do you have a peer reviewed scientific paper that shows any of it?

Do you even know what Growth is?

Since you are in HN, I'm guessing you also know the 2nd law of Thermodynamics?
Most of the standard is taken by the description of the standard library ; the language specs ends at page 457 in C++20 (last draft).
How long would be your language spec if every single function's documentation was part of it ?

To give a reference with other languages:

- This is a bit less than C# (whose standard language spec ends at page 462 in ECMA-364 2nd ed.).

- The python spec for 3.9.9 is 151 pages. Okay, but let's compare equivalent things in the C++ spec and Python spec: awaiting a coroutine.

* In Python (the whole "await" spec):

Suspend the execution of coroutine on an awaitable object. Can only be used inside a coroutine function.

await_expr ::= "await" primary

New in version 3.5.

* In C++ (5% of the "co_await" spec):

The co_await expression is used to suspend evaluation of a coroutine (9.5.4) while awaiting completion of the computation represented by the operand expression.

await-expression :
co_await cast-expression

But, for C++ this is only the first sentence (which is not written in an abbreviated style but as a proper sentence). Then a whole page explains the semantics in detail, and gives a complete example of how to use it. The python spec is just insufficient in comparison.

This is a common misconception.

If the value of your invested RSUs go up: fantastic now you make more.

I’d the value of the invested RSUs go down: no problem, you evaluate if you want to wait to see if they go up, or if you want to go into the market and take a new job.

It’s nearly all upside for the employee (in a hot market).
It seems like a bold statement to claim every NFT game is a ponzi. Some existing games are looking into incorporating NFTs to help facilitate the kind of transactions you previously needed paypal for. It seems a bit dismissive to hand-wave any games that want to incorporate the technology as not being able to operate sustainably.
> 1 - I have already paid tax on the money.

Money is taxed over and over all the time. Your income gets taxed, then it's taxed again when you spend it, then it's taxed again when the store owner reports it as earnings, and on and on. There's no rule that once a dollar is taxed it shouldn't be taxed again. But, for some reason, it's only shareholders who complain about how unfair "double taxation" is [1].
