I once had a similar project to OP that took 30 seconds to compile a one-line change (albeit on a 10-year-old CPU). I split it into about 7 crates, and got compiles down to 3 seconds. Since then I'm always vigilant about keeping crates nice and small. I think as long as you're keeping an eye on your crate sizes, compile times won't get away from you.

This is different from C++ where each individual source file can be compiled in parallel, so it's something I had to re-learn.

The iPhone 13 literally has the best display currently available, and more importantly, it's colour managed correctly. It is manufactured by Samsung, and they use the same panel in their own flagship phone, but they don't colour-manage as well or as consistently, making the iPhone the overall winner in my book. Other Android manufacturers have markedly worse displays in every metric.

The fact that you don't appreciate this just reinforces my point: you don't happen to have "taste" in phone screens. That's okay! I have bad taste in cars, wine, sport, and a bunch of other stuff.

The Do Not Call registry is for mobile numbers too. The problems with the registry are twofold:

- The robocallers DGAF. Many of them are already doing something illegal to start with. The only entities who really seem to be concerned with downloading the registry and scrubbing their call lists are big legitimate corps. Rachel from Cardholder Services just wants to dial as many numbers as possible and isn't going to comply with the law.

- Reporting violations is an effort in futility! A couple years ago I decided to report an idiot who was calling multiple times a day. The form asked for a bunch of information about the call, I filled all of it out, and several weeks later I got a reply from the FTC through postal mail with a dozen printed pages (including my complaint rendered onto their internal paperwork) saying sorry, they didn't have enough information to act.

I get 10+ robocalls a day, I'm not spending my time filling out a form that goes nowhere. It's unfortunate, but the registry has no teeth.
The "science" is quite dubious: https://articles.uie.com/net-promoter-score-considered-harmf...

There’s one difference, and that’s Medicare/Medicaid. The government could easily decide that they will stop paying hospitals for Medicare/Medicaid patients until this gets implemented. I bet it would happen pretty fast.

I've always wondered why useful flags like `-Z timings` are not available on stable. I guess they're worried about the output changing in a future stable release, but I don't think anyone would expect the reports to look exactly the same and list exactly the same compilation phases, etc, for all eternity. I think that for diagnostic features, people would be just fine with a loose stability guarantee that allows the output to be improved in the future.
Fine them - nothing is going to change until the fines are larger than the competitive impact

One of the most-cited stats regarding literacy is: a student who is not reading at grade level by the end of 3rd grade is 300% as likely to flunk out of school before finishing 12th grade.

As someone who works in literacy, I have seen this cited many times and referenced it several times myself. It was only this year, when I was reading Scout Mindset [1] that I realized this statistic doesn't say what so many people think it does.

People cite this stat to prove how important literacy is. After all, if a student can't read, then he is not going to be able to pass classes in a wide variety of subjects. This notion of causality is captured in the similarly-common saying "first you learn to read, then you read to learn".

But the stat doesn't prove causality at all. And when you step back and think about it, there is likely to be a very large overlap between people who have low reading ability and people who are more likely to drop out of school. This is perhaps obvious to people who do not work in literacy, where we tend to overestimate its importance.

For me, this was a perfect example of confirmation bias, where people — even people who are generally smart and well-meaning — credulously accept (or even tout) statistics without first analyzing them. Had we seen a stat that indicated that reading ability didn't affect educational outcomes, we surely would have dug in and tried to figure out what was wrong with the calculation. But this one sounded right, so now it's part of the accepted wisdom in the world of literacy. This statistic is cited wherever someone is asking for more money to be poured into early literacy programs, as if solving literacy will have this 300% multiplier effect.

I thought about posting about this on LinkedIn, and urging others to try to think about what beliefs are common in their industry, but have not been thoroughly examined. It would be great if we could call out some of these common-but-untrue beliefs, which may lead to misallocation of resources.

There's a lot of reasons behind it I think as a complete history/politics deletant; damage from cold war anticommunism, side effect of post world war 2 success, and the general story the US and it's citizens tell about themselves as individualistic.

The US came out of WW2 immensely wealthy (overall of course not everyone was allowed to participate in the boom) which buried a lot of the impetus that pushed other European countries to create their national health systems.

Then we were fighting against communism which took so many forms of social programs into the area of forbidden ideology that could spell the doom of the US and the rest of the world.

And then there's just the individualistic streak that seems to have been endemic to the US since it's founding. Religiously as well as economically there's a lot of focus on individual effort and rewards.

This doesn't interfere with that.

Constraints are part of the table schema, not index schema.

> his proposal would break that constraint, by elevating the _name_ of a foreign key constraint to an identifier usable in a DQL statement (as distinct from DDL statements where such names can already appear). That's not allowed.

Not allowed says who? The standard? I doubt it, and anyways, it can be changed.

"That's not allowed" is not a good argument. A better argument is that this is the first time a constraint can change the meaning of a query -- that is a good argument, but it would be better if the constraint could change existing queries, which it does not do. Because this would only affect queries that refer to the constraint, this seems quite allowable to me.

> More importantly, it's _not a good idea_, because that semantic separation between data on one side, and the machinery of acceleration and validation on the other side, ...

This is not about optimization, ergo this argument is out.

The trajectory of real estate prices has been out of control here for 30 years, perhaps covid accelerated ot, but giving ordinary people money to survive doesn't change much because they are already priced out of the market.

I think it can be fixed with land taxes. A lot of land banking goes on in Australia. I thought the boomers dying off might help with housing affordability but it hasn't happened.

Inflation in food prices is far more supply side than demand side. When money was handed out here, people spent it on remarkably sensible things like paying bills and retiring debt. UBI works and we have the proof.
That's DML, not DQL. Still, I disagree with GP's arguments (see separate comment).

Thank you all for the very kind words about Altinity. We have always assumed that the ClickHouse market would be "crowded." By my count there are at least 7 cloud services based on ClickHouse. It's 8 if you include Firebolt, which embeds ClickHouse. There are even more hosting options on the way for ClickHouse, including clickhouse.com but also others. This is clearly going to be a competitive market with many outstanding alternatives for users.

We have a bunch of ideas at Altinity about how to make ClickHouse even more pervasive. Stay tuned in 2022.

The thing to understand about the US healthcare system is that it's all based around corruption and waste (where waste to you is profit to someone else). The inefficiency is the point. It's a racket.

There are many known better systems and obvious improvements, where "improvement" means you get the same quality of care for less money. But then you get the same quality of care and the providers make less money.

Even if you're going to have a market-based system, things like price transparency would make it more efficient. Which is why they fight it so hard.

If all we did was replace the existing insurance system with single payer, it would solve nothing, because all the same lobbyists would just make sure that the government continues to overpay them. Single payer advocates like to point out that Medicare pays a bit less than private insurance in the US, but Medicare pays a lot more than single payer systems do in other countries. And if it was the only payer in the US then the lobbying pressure to increase what it pays them would be even higher.

Regardless of who is doing the paying, the problem that actually needs to be solved is the corruption.

Wow, there's some intriguing information about chimpanzee behavior in here that I had not encountered in the traditional lore about them:

"Since the 1970s, researchers have known that chimpanzees — especially those in Tanzania or Uganda — use medicinal plants. They consume fruits with antimicrobial properties; sometimes they combine them with other substances to reduce the toxicity. Other chimpanzees eat flowers with antibiotic properties or leaves with antiparasitic ones, which act as laxatives or even induce uterine contractions. Chimpanzees also tear off bark and lick the resin to kill internal worms; the compounds, tests in vitro have shown, slow the growth of cancerous cells.

Significantly, practices of self-medication vary between chimpanzee populations. When chimpanzees feel sick, they seek out a particular tree and ingest a few leaves. The bitter leaves contain molecules that are quite effective against plasmodium parasites, which cause malaria. But chimpanzees also consume about ten other kinds of plant to combat these organisms."

While chimpanzees' speed, volume, and fidelity of cultural transmission aren't supercharged the way early human communication was after our development of complex language, this reads pretty clearly to me as early stage cultural evolution in action. Compare with, for example, the history of human manioc cultivation recounted by Joseph Henrich in "The Secret of our Success". Review here with relevant passages: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/04/book-review-the-secret...

HDR10 is the crap Samsung invented, which just extends 8-bit colour to 10-bit colour (from 256 shades of intensity to 1024). This is not enough to display smooth gradients when going from the blackest blacks to the brightest whites that a high-dynamic range (HDR) screen is capable of. Hence, it causes visible banding, especially in "blue skies" or similar smooth areas of slowly changing colour.

Samsung worked around this by applying a post-processing filter that smooths out the banding... sometimes. It also almost always smooths away fine detail, ruining the 4K details. (Similarly, their 8K screens appear less detailed than some 4K screens for other but equally silly reasons.)

Dolby Vision uses a more optimal allocation of signal "bits" to the spectrum of colours and intensities visible to the human eye. The ideal is that each colour and each shade would be perfectly evenly distributed, so that "512" would be exactly half as perceptually bright as "1024", etc... The Dolby Vision encoding does this very nearly perfectly, eliminating visible banding without having to hide them by smudging the decoded picture. This optimal colour-volume encoding also means that transforms like scaling or brightness changes don't introduce colour-shifts or relative brightness shifts.

If you've never seen a DV video taken with an iPhone Pro 13 displayed on its OLED, you just don't know what you're missing. Go to an Apple store and play with one for a few minutes.

But seriously, companies like Samsung like to shave 50 cents off their flagship products by not paying DV their licensing fees. They figure that cutting corners like this doesn't matter, because most customers have no taste in image quality anyway, and just want BRIGHTER! COLORS! and nothing else.

They're right.

You don't care, and you're happy to save 50c on a $10K television or a $1K mobile phone.

I keep wondering how feasible it would be to have something like Tauri ship with a simplified webview, so it could still be consistent across platforms but still without the bloat of Electron. Although really, the problem isn't using the host's view so much as IE's webview being the default on Windows.

Even better, a lot of the necessary complexity involved in getting the web stack to look and act like native could be done away with by redesigning a version of that stack optimized for displaying applications rather than documents.

It would no longer be the web stack but it could take the advantages of it without the shortcomings.
