Since the PostgreSQL folks are clearly against hints, maybe another random feature suggestion: If a (read-only) query is taking "too long", maybe you could launch a second copy with a different plan. Maybe even a third after twice as long and a fourth after twice as long again. Kill them all once any one returns. Trades some extra load now against waiting forever for a 'bad' query plan.

The idea obviously needs work and has probably already been suggested and dismissed, somewhere, but I thought I might throw it out there, especially with modern computers having so many cores.

There are still only two legal entities involved - the operator of the web site, and the user displaying a page from the web site. What's the third entity that would redistribute a modified work to the user displaying a page from the web site?
Thank you Igor for Nginx. Love using it!
I know this is anecdotal, I know it doesn't matter. But I just have to say, I watch more TV and order more food when I'm working. When I take a long break, I tend to cook meals, bake bread, work in my yard, and work on side projects. When I'm working I'm too tired at the end of the day to cook, I order in, and I'm too tired to work in my yard, I watch Netflix.

They're both Identity Protocols, SAML is older and more widely adopted, OIDC is newer. Kinda the XML vs JSON battle at a Protocol level haha!

I've found a lot of SaaS providers only support SAML today, so you're stuck if you want to use GitHub identity outside of OIDC.
What's interesting is that the previous dishwasher worked fine, but all the plastic parts inside had become brittle and were breaking, and at the same time some things transpired such that a family member offered us this new-in-box dishwasher. IE: point being that the previous dishwasher didn't have this food splattering problem.

When the repair guy came out, he commented that the garbage disposal hadn't been properly installed (10+ years ago) and that it might be part of the problem. In theory he fixed that issue, and we assumed that might also have been the problem. But, with it back to spewing food bits everywhere it seems unlikely that was the problem. The level issue you point out is perhaps worth experimenting a bit.

Except the tasks you name are manufacturing organizing, and preparing for workload. These are required tasks for a firm to meet their demand, even divorced from all other context and embedded in your specified tooling.
So the conclusion of this study was that UBI would not reduce amount of work done overall in the economy.

Another study discussed here showed only a mild net reduction in amount of paid work being done on the short term; and arguably the unpaid work being done instead was also beneficial to society.

Interestingly, in general, UBI studies don't show really alarming reductions in amount of work done. Sadly they also don't show hoped for amazing increases in productivity either. It seems like the advantages and disadvantages of UBI for stimulating work seem to balance each other out. I think people's arguments don't need to be about the work aspect so much.

N.B. From Nginx company history on Wikipedia:

> On 12 December 2019, it was reported that the Moscow offices of Nginx Inc. had been raided by police, and that Sysoev and Konovalov had been detained. The raid was conducted under a search warrant connected to a copyright claim over Nginx by Rambler—which asserts that it owns all rights to the code because it was written while Sysoev was an employee of the company. On 16 December 2019, Russian state lender Sberbank, which owns 46.5 percent of Rambler, called an extraordinary meeting of Rambler's board of directors asking Rambler's management team to request Russian law enforcement agencies cease pursuit of the criminal case, and begin talks with Nginx and with F5.[2]

I am not sure which country you are from, but here in France, people who are advocating for 4 days workweek are not trying to replace

5x8 by 4x10 (indeed I don’t imagine myself being able to produce code for 10 hours)

Well France is on 35h workweek anyway.

But we are advocating for a 4x7 = 28 workweek (likely with a paycut of course)

I feel this would be a net positive for a company.

Or it could be 5*5 = 25 workweek for that matter. Because when the task is complicated and creative, I don’t think I can work 7 hours most of the time

Do you have hard evidence for this claim?
> (b) routinely bomb another state they are not officially at war with

In what sense are we not officially at war with Palestine? Nobody ever signed an armistice, ceasefire, or peace deal to end the War of 1948. Nobody even wants to. The official policies of both the PLO and Hamas remain "struggle until victory". There are internal political reasons for this that any knowledgeable person can describe, but as far as anyone who lacks inside influence is concerned, that's their policy and they're sticking to it.
I'd love to know where this has actually happened. It seems to me that this idea is often trotted out as a conservative scare tactic.

I'd also like to know how you think we should maximise people's happiness and wellbeing. Because that's my primary interest, and economic productivity is valuable insofar as it enables that utility maximisation.

I am not sure I understand the argument here as what you said highlights that Tesla's FSD is not fully self driving.

Taking the dictionary definition of fully:

"completely or entirely; to the fullest extent"

I would expect a fully self-driving car to drive for the entirety of any trip I wish to take. Anything less than that I would consider as "partial".
Another example I saw on HN before: What happens when the tech is good enough to 100% avoid sudden pedestrian collisions, so pedestrians wise up and realize they can just jaywalk in front of any self driving car with impunity?

Especially in dense areas like NYC, you can solve the safety problem, but that may require these cars to drive too passively to ever get anywhere.

I lost my dad thanksgiving weekend and lost my dog right after new years. It could be I'm still grieving for my dad but losing the dog has really hurt.

It's a different type of guilt and loss when you were the one who raised them and ultimately had to made the choice to put them down. I think losing a pet might have more in common with losing a child than losing a parent.

There is still a lively academic community and major progress! Check out CMU's no limit results [1]. (I realize articles like this have to pick some angles to make it interesting, but it was weird to see only dated research mentioned.)

But if you are rooting against the machines, don't worry: it is almost certainly impossible to calculate a full equilibrium policy for no limit multiplayer, so we will instead be debating over the virtues of various types of imperfection for a long time. And even if an Oracle gave us convenient access to equilibrium strategy, it would still not be the optimum at a table full of imperfect players. Your poker game is safe for a while!

I'm hoping that I'm correctly interpreting the WoW64 portion of the notes as meaning that I could run a 32-bit x86 Windows binary using the 64-bit Wine on ARM. I don't have a common need for this but I've had a couple of cases where I needed to test compatibility with something ancient and it would have been great to be able to install something in my development environment. In one of the cases, it was a 64-bit executable with a 32-bit installer so the actual program worked as long as you could copy a previous install.

I don't understand this obsession with electronic exercise devices.

Then you need to make an effort, because it's really not hard to understand if one has even just a bit of life experience as an adult. But it sounds like an excuse to brag about the harsh weather one runs in, and those damned kids and their video games or something. Here, I'll one-up you: I regularly ran in snow and sub-zero (Fahrenheit, bitches) temperatures when I lived in Indiana. I now live in the much milder Pacific Northwest, and I own a treadmill. 'cuz you know what? Sometimes outside isn't better than any of those, and I just need to get some miles in.

Perhaps.

But it comes across to me on that page as arrogance and dismissiveness of user needs. Hence why I find it disappointing, even if it is mainly in how it is expressed.

We need an Electronic bill of rights.

1. You must allow full root privileges for Electronic devices to the owners

2. You may not circumvent owners rights through leasing or other means.

3. You may not create barriers to device owners using their devices how they see fit.
I'm sure I agree with most of this post, but it would really help if they gave an overview of the laws being proposed or at least a link to the drafts
I'm going on your own example here of what kind of "cognition" we're dealing with: do you interpret a racially insensitive comment ("microaggression") as targeted and hostile ("personal"), or untargeted and oblivious ("impersonal")?

If you choose the latter as a kind of cognitive "assume good faith policy," you may "suffer" less emotionally. But your cognitive strategy makes you vulnerable to abuse. People can take advantage of your charitable assumptions. You may end up experiencing even more emotional suffering after that happens (and you might not even understand what happened afterward).

I'll also point out that the emotions go both ways here: if someone powerful offends you or someone else in this way, your reaction will be suppressed (however much) by fear at the thought of the retaliatory exercise of that power. This is by far the more powerful controlling emotion in the society at large. Not racial outrage or self-righteousness or anything like that.

I think you won't see CBT employed to control that emotion though.

We've been automating away office jobs for a lot longer than we've been putting ML in robots to automate factory work, though.

For example, the way business mail used to work was that the bureaucrat in question would record their message onto a tape, and then send that tape off to a special department full of typists to actually turn that voice recording into a letter. That whole concept is not only gone, but it's such a foreign idea that it sounds like something you'd write for a dieselpunk novel. The moment we started putting computers on people's desks, we expected everyone to know how to type. Same thing goes for a lot of other office tasks, which are now comfortably managed by software suites we literally call "Office".

That being said, the new wave of machine-learning powered automation scares me. Not because I'm worried that my job will be taken by software, but because said software will barely work. For factory jobs, the risks are obvious; that's why we put these robots in cages[0]. However, these office jobs are still making critical decisions that will increasingly be handled by automation. We already know how much having to deal with Google sucks; and they are pretty much addicted to automating away all their support staff. In your manuscript example, it could be that the ML model just starts burying specific genres of book or books with specific types of characters in them, for stupid reasons.

Same, but with Office 2007. I'm getting ready to upgrade to Office 2010 mostly for 64 bit support. Any suggestion to run it best on wine64?

Kobo's used to have a memory card slot. No need to even connect it with usb.
Excel, Word and PowerPoint run as well as they did on Windows. All the main functionality is very stable. Wine even integrated the icons and mime-types into my DE.

It is only very occasionally I hit any critical error. It has only happened when trying something obscure, like "Microsoft Maps for Excel".

I haven't tried Outlook 97 yet.

But poor old Access won't even get off the ground. I'm guessing due to some ODBC driver too stodgy to have a sip of Wine.

I'd like to take a moment to be grateful for the small graces of the current copyright climate that allow projects like this to exist. If the parameters of a few lines of US Code were slightly tweaked, or a few court rulings different, we'd simply not have this amazing feat of interoperability available.

It's really an amazing thing that we're able to foster projects like this in the open, and we should be careful to preserve those freedoms.

When I have trouble juggling a complicated system in my head, I like to visualize it as documentation.

Thanks to automated documentation generators it’s possible to document various units directly in the code, but it doesn’t replace tying it all together in a cohesive knowledge base, nicely formatted in HTML. (There’s tooling that helps with that, too.)

To me, writing and updating how-tos, references, glossaries, organizing it in sections is a methodical activity that produces useful questions and helps me understand not just the responsibilities of different units do but also general background and the larger picture, while producing a concrete deliverable useful to future maintainers and operators as a side effect.

Illustrations can also be useful to include. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach and it really depends on what you are trying to illustrate—a high-level architectural overview may warrant a data flow or component dependency diagram, while a complicated communication between threads might call for a timeline view. (Again, thinking in terms of documentation is useful—consider future readers and future maintainers, what they would want to learn and how much of a pain would it be for them to update.)

I believe illustrations don’t work as well on lower levels though like individual code units. If a higher level diagram is not enough and you come up with one that has to change every time implementation changes, perhaps somewhere there’s coupling that could be loosened and cohesion that could be tightened. (That, or I might not have worked on sufficiently complex projects.)
It would be a bad idea to use force against train robbers. They would just start packing guns themselves. Often times these robberies are coordinated by organized crime who control robbery rights over certain sections of track.

Git is an append-only data store. You can't lose anything as long as you have committed it. Rebasing does rewrite history, but it doesn't delete the old history. It's still there. The reflog links to it. The old remote tracking branch links to it. You could even leave a tag there to link to it. There are many ways to get back.
