Don't perpetuate that type of logic. It's toxic to your peers and not good for society. It's shorthand for a phrase like "It works for ME, so don't change it for OTHERS." Also, this concept requires anyone making a change to justify it to you so you understand it -- even though the changes are for a product and user base as a whole. Most other people read and accept the change and either make adjustments or even switch products all without requiring a bespoke explainer.

Also, your comment about designers and product managers is pretty dismissive and leads me to believe that you aren't very appreciative how hard it is to get UI/UX right. Just because it's area you don't understand or don't practice within doesn't mean it's not important.
Gagarin was a cosmonaut. The Russian equivalent to those mentioned would be Sergei Korolev.
YC's whole business model is based on the venture capital investment model. As you mentioned, they make a VC-type investment themselves initially. Then, at demo day they invite VCs. Then, they have their follow on VC investment rounds (not sure what it's called). In their educational materials, they preach hyper growth and even define a "startup" as a company that's designed to grow quickly.
Anything that facilitates commerce makes it easier to monetize spam, just as it makes it easier to monetize porn, or even illegal activity (eg bitcoin). You can't really fault Google or Facebook for this, as soon as the internet moved away from hobbyists, academia, and scientists towards the general public, it was absolutely inevitable.

The only way to have prevented something like that would have been to make the internet a giant closed-garden AOL like system with total control over users, identity, and content.

Fundamentally, if you make something frictionless to join, you end up with parasites. If you impose a cost to join, you end up hurting average users, because it's hard to raise the price high enough to keep out bad actors, especially if the expected value is positive and high. (If I need to spend $5000 in order to get one sucker for a MAKE MONEY FAST scheme, it's still worth it)

Part of Apple's value proposition is a tightly controlled walled garden with a high cost to entry. If you're willing to pay those costs, you're protected from a lot of spam, at the cost of a lot of friction to enter the ecosystem, and the lost of full autonomy over your devices.
I think the test is simple:

give a bunch of experts the claims in the patent and not how the patent implements the claim.

If the experts can find a way to implement the claim in a relatively short period, then the claim is obvious and should be rejected.

Of course it is possible that a more specific claim is not obvisous. For example, if there are specific performance requirements. If the initial claims are obvisious, the inventor can try again with more narrow claims.

Another requirement that is sorely needed is that an expert in the field can actually understand the patent in a reasonable period of time.

But we have to switch from one stack to the other. If we do that more than necessary on thousands of threads, I imagine the cache will be used less efficiently. The problem is runtime, not RAM usage.
Pharo uses libgit2 binding and adds nice tools on top of it. The development of Pharo itself is based on Git/Github. So it uses standard Git workflow with branches, pull-requests, CI building and testing etc., but because it has methods based granularity, it is even better than plain Git for operations like merging and cherry-picking (it can, for example, easily resolve conflicts that plaintext based Git cannot). Moreover, it allows things like listing the history of a particular method. Even CI building can benefit from still-present image capabilities because you can have a basic prebuild image with project dependencies and then just load what you are really interested in in a few seconds (while still having an option to bootstrap it completely).

To be a bit clearer, you don't want to push websocket messages per se; eg auth negotiation or info requests. You do want to pubsub out conditioned messages that are generated by any given instance for the purpose of broadcast; eg "userX connected" or "userX said Y".
I'm not saying things aren't worse, I'm saying they are worse in a different way. The suit wearing corporate drone software developer in a cubicle isn't a thing anymore. Now it's a t-shirt wearing bearded fair-trade coffee lover attending daily standups, writing articles on medium, and inventing yet another frontend javascript framework in their free time.

The corporate drone thing was specifically a reference to what life was like _for software developers_ in the late 90s. This looks a lot different now than it did then. For the average person, sure, your quip about amazon workers is quite apt. My point though is now we have all the same issues, but with a fake sort of "culture" icing pasted on top that makes a lot of things seem substantiative, real, and anti-corporate, when they in fact are not. Things are much subtler now. It also shows a lot of what we've lost -- "hacker" culture used to be integral to being a developer, hence Neo's "double life" as a software developer and a hacker.

These days people barely even pirate things anymore. There has been a mass acceptance of the status quo that is pervasive, dangerous, and wasn't present in the previous era. So while people wore suits back in the day, back in the day was also the wild west of tech. That has largely ended.

Another way of looking at it: in the 90s and early 00s, there was lots of sub-culture and counter-culture present, especially in the tech and "hacker" communities. These days, our corporate overlords have co-opted the term "hacker" and try to sound edgy and "counter-culture" by simply occupying the spaces legitimate counter-culture movements used to occupy (corporate sponsored hackathons, bug bounties, a lot of marketing stuff, etc). So this new matrix movie, for me, partially demonstrates the death of counter-culture, as it was in the late 90s and early 00s. These days you can be the equivalent of the old-school corporate drone by doing a bunch of seemingly edgy "counter-culture" things, and the corporations want it that way. They want you to feel edgy, while staying well within the parameters they designed.

> The US sanctions on Xinjiang damage the region economically and cause more suffering for the people who live there.

So do most sanctions no matter how justified. The well being of those people are the responsibility of the Chinese government. It would be pretty easy to allow transparent media reports in the province if one wanted to show the world that there is nothing bad going on.

What the US (or anyone else) does in any other corner of the world is a separate topic and uninteresting in this context.
Oh! You're the CSVCHAIN guy? Well then, your word is gold.

Hey there! OctoSQL author here.

I've released OctoSQL v0.4.0 recently[0] which is a grand rewrite and is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than OctoSQL was before. It's also much more robust overall with static typing and the plugin system for easy extension. The q benchmarks are over a year old and haven't been updated to reflect that yet.

Take a look at the README[1] for more details.

My benchmarks should be reproducible, you can find the script in the benchmarks/ repo directory.

Btw if we're already talking @eatonphil I'd appreciate you updating your benchmarks to reflect these changes.

As far as the custom query engine goes - yes, there are both pros and cons to that. In the case of OctoSQL I'm building something that's much more dynamic - a full-blown dataflow engine - and can subscribe to multiple datasources to dynamically update queries as source data changes. This also means it can support streaming datasources. That is not possible with the other systems. It also means I don't have to load everything into a SQLite database before querying - I can optimize which columns I need to even read.

OctoSQL also let's you work with actual databases in your queries - like PostgreSQL or MySQL - and pushes predicates down to them, so it doesn't have to dump your whole database tables. That's useful if you need to do cross-db joins, or JSON-file-with-database joins.

As far as SQL compliance goes it gets hairy in the details - as usual. The overall dialect is based on MySQL as I'm using a parser based on vitess's one, but I don't support some syntax, and add original syntax too (type assertions, temporal extensions, object and type notation).

Stay tuned for a lot more supported datasources, as the plugin system lets me work on that much quicker.

But was there ever an objective basis? No two believers could ever agree on what God wants, even back when Jesus was alive. Because God is nothing but an invention of man, what God thinks is merely a reflection of what each individual person thinks.

Even if you go off a text like the Bible, there is no objective interpretation of what it means.

>has zero pride, was so humble

Jesus literally claimed to be the son of God. That's about as arrogant as you can get.
The pandemic isn't over, yet the direction of debt is downwards.

If you take the rate of change, I guess it slowed its descent about 2015, which happens to be when rates were increased from 0.25%.

Seems that increasing rates causes the rate-of-change of debt to increase

But that's by the point. Your claim was

While it does seem like a matter of semantics, in the end, whether something is classified as an addiction or a dependance doesn't seem to be as binary as "has a biological response to removal of said substance".

I'd argue that since we do have dopamine/seretonin driven reward systems, anything that modifies a physiological expression of the neuro-chemical lifecycle from pre-exposure to post-exposure (whether that be density of receptors, abundance of neurotransmitter, some yet unknown neurochemical expression), then that substance can cause addiction.

Video games could do this, just not as dramatically as heroin, but given that modern day life is basically just a hamster wheel of our neurochemical systems, anything has the potential to be addictive as defined above, it all depends on where on the spectrum of addiction said substance lies.
Mine could. (I know the point you're trying to make, but “grandma” and “person who wants to see computers as tools, rather than puzzles” are not synonymous.)
I've been beating this drum for a while, but HN really needs to just ban direct links to Twitter threads. I can't remember the last time I saw one on the front page that was actually true.
Your comment reads the same way to me that I suppose vaccine misinformation, Russian propaganda, or QAnon conspiracies must sound to you.

Yes, the videos are amateur and I highly doubt the guy is credentialed in psychology. But they are not in any way similar to the calculated disinformation campaigns you offer as comparison.

They're entertaining. They're fun to watch. They're not being used as police training videos. If they're influencing jurors, I don't see how this is any different than the thousands of unconscious (or conscious) biases already inherent in the justice system.

By this logic we should ban all true-crime shows and law enforcement dramas because they might contain "misinformation". The show Lie to Me comes to mind as an example of similar pseudo-psychology in entertainment. I'd recommend giving it a watch if you've never seen it, Tim Roth is great.

Since when is random, blatant censorship hailed as "obvious good"? What timeline is this?
This static-for-everything trend is absurd. Compiling one-off scripts? Give me a break - they're not called scripting languages for nothing.
I mean, it sounds like a stupid patent, but if the court says so then it’s valid. We either live with the rule of law or we don’t. Also, we need to fix IP law, but I digress.

But… wtf Google? Do you have some kind of “we don’t negotiate with people we stole from” ultimatum, or are you just trying to piss off the people that bought into your dystopian nightmare buttons?
The government looses money from pandemics, so there’s no profit motive for FDA regulators to prolong the pandemic. There’s both direct costs of coronavirus response, and then there’s indirect costs (lower tax revenue from empty downtowns, less travel, more workers on taking from disability insurance instead of paying in to it, etc).

It's good to hear that SVB had improved. I ditched them after getting one of their accounts through Stripe Atlas and couldn't have been more displeased with how _absolutely everything_ was a struggle to do.
Can you see from your records whether the confirmation number (i.e. 7601263-535518) is fixed at the time of the report, e.g. sent as part of the email? An alternative that comes to my mind is that the number is assigned when the report is first generated, which could in principle explain why Djokovic's numbers are out of order if the first time he accessed his PDF was on 26 Dec.
In general, you adjust to what is available and what is relatively easy.

This is true in a lot of contexts. If some activity isn't available to you or is a big hassle--say you don't have enough room in your apartment to store some outdoor activity gear or a ready way to transport it--you probably just do something that's easier most of the time. And you probably adapt to that rather than banging your head against the wall.
In fact, you don't. Your WSGI app is not a web server. It does not run or network by itself and doesn't speak HTTP. You need a compatible web server (e.g. Gunicorn) to do that for you. It's really not that much different from good old CGI. It's simple and flexible enough for a large number of use cases. Of course, that's not the only way to write web apps in Python. Using a library like Pyramid et al, you launch the HTTP endpoint manually from the main program, and attach various handlers/whatnot to it. All "self-contained".
I am pretty sure I've seen a few of these videos and completely agree with the speciousness of reasoning and liberties to jump to conclusions.

I am less certain that it is actually salutary to hide or remove humbug from the eyes and ears of people. Someone in power is deciding what is humbug what is not, and what is tolerable humbug. Plenty of other videos on YouTube have sponsored sections hawking Nord VPN, making all manner of potentially injurious claims about privacy.

Sunlight, not darkness, is the best disinfectant.
Behind the head is much nicer than behind the ear. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that thinks this
There is always coercion. Low wage is better than no wage, and you can choose which capitalist you must sell your labor to (or try your own hand at becoming a capitalist) but you cannot exit the economic system willingly.

A "fair market rate" is still paying the worker less than the value of their labor. In no career is a worker owning the full fruits of their labor, and in many cases it's barely even a fraction. Is it fair that workers subsidize businesses of every size with poverty wages?

"The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy. Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: "I feed on your energy." "

Every once in a while you come across something on the internet that makes you stop and go "whoa, that is cool". This is one of those for me.

Sure she could, given appropriate instructions and a reason to care about it. Why not? She's a capable person. Also, she could buy a secondhand one that's already been unlocked, or sell hers to someone who can still make use of it by unlocking it, or whatever. The point is, the end of support does not render the hardware useless and/or a security disaster waiting to happen.
Banking in the US is still so archaic.

I once had reason to use ANZ while in the area and it was a revelation. You could send money quickly and pay bills on schedule or directly with few to no fees, from modern, intuitive interfaces. >$1000 or 25 cents, didn't matter. Next, next, done.

It's how I've envisioned banking since the birth of the web, but it never happened in the US that I'm aware of. Unless you use a potentially malicious rent-seeking third party to paper over the obstacles. Not a reasonable trade-off IMHO.
Have you done the setup on windows lately? Because AFAIK, (Fido) yubikey support is still missing. Using either the PKCS#11 support or the gpg applet requires some extra piece of software. Also it required telling git to use that specific ssh version, last time I tried a few month ago, the git installer defaulted to something bundled IIRC. Then, you also want to fiddle with autocrlf and other settings. Git on windows is a pain, but that’s not GitHub’s fault.
> Human behavior is remarkably different depending on whether or not I'm the sole person on stage responsible for an action or whether I'm a single anonymous vote.

This is exactly it. In a large organization, everyone can mentally offload any responsibility to someone else.

The rank and file can say "It's not my decision, the execs told me to do this".

The executives can say, "It's the board pushing me to do xyz and if I don't do it then someone else will, so I might as well just keep my job".

And the board can say, "Well, we just told the execs to maximize shareholder value, we didn't tell them to do anything unethical."

So you end up with a situation where no one feels like they bear any responsibility for the actions of an enterprise and you have a group of individuals who, as individuals, are moral but are contributing to an organization that is acting immorally in the aggregate.
I think the question was asked from the user's standpoint rather than Google's. In other words: Why, as a user, would I bother signing into my browser?
So, you are back to Google dictating what you can and cannot have. Lets not pretend that Vivaldi has much influence over that (if any at all). They ship Chromium with trivial/irrelevant tweaks. If that makes you feel good, more power to you.

However, people underestimate the amount of influence Google has in the Chromium ecosystem. At this point it's their way or the highway (i.e. Firefox/Safari). None of the companies shipping Chromium based browser have either the competence, willingness, or team to ship a functional browser that is meaningfully different. It's just lipstick on a pig and magical thinking when it comes to privacy.

Firefox works well enough for me. If there are websites that work less well in it, I've long stopped caring about those. All the essentials that try to sell me stuff work just fine. Financial dependence does that. People put in an effort to make shit works when money is on the line.
The goal is that both partners (downstream) and suppliers (upstream) are aware that they should not be sourcing/supplying these regions, and that if Intel is made aware of it, they will have to enforce such embargos in both directions.
No. Stop defending bad practice. its conceivable there are new functions that are not backwards compatible. At some point you need to be able to update your browser. its the fact she is locked out from doing that is what puts her in the pickle. Google and Apple made sure she can't get a new browser so that she would purchase a new device. period.
More likely it's a bunch of folks like yourself stirring up outrage where none exists. It's becoming a bit of a pattern. No actual look at reasonable explanation - just straight to the "he's lying" claims.

Pathetic.

The date a doc is downloaded has no bearing on when a test was taken.
Look, everyone on this website is going to agree with you that the patents are pretty silly. But that doesn't change the two central facts of the article,

1. Sonos holds such patents

2. Google (the trillion dollar company) is actively making its products worse for users instead of licensing said patents. These are not free products like GMail, these are products that people have paid for, and these are not trivial features, these are features that were actively marketed for the product.

Perhaps we could discuss this, the actually interesting topic, instead of the same boring discussion about the broken US patent system again and again.
You mean antibody, not antigen?
Slavery is one of those things that violates the fundamental principles of the declaration of Independence: all men are created equal, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

So of course it should have been abolished and shame on the states that fought a war to preserve it.

Even in the most limited federal government has fundamental requirements.
> after the plague you're planting food to feed only 60%

All land would used as much it could, and if there was surplus after making food and drink of the best produce, it would become feed for animals. They could grow better things like apples, vegetables, and so on.

No one is ever content with what they have.
I find for me, looking at feelings wheel, "valued" is the emotion I feel regarding addiction. If an activity makes me feel valued, I come back and back and back. This is true also if the activity makes me feel inferior sometimes ( such as losing a game ). Addictive activities also have an infuriating component ( whereby I want to control more than I can control ). They also have a thankful component (relief after winning a hard game).
Maybe caniuse.com should show "age of support" or something like that, to show you the newest possible device you're cutting off by using the feature.
Thanks for the suggestions! Always pushing to move from "good to great." Love the idea of multiple notes per event.
