Based on your (amazing) write-up, it seems like there was some sort of abstraction layer between a programmer writing in some kind of assembler and the actual CPU registers, is that correct?
Thank you!

EdgeDB is fundamentally a relational database -- it has a schema and a powerful query language. It makes sense to store application data in it (just like you would in Postgres or MySQL). It's a general purpose DB.

neo4j is a graph database. It's great for storing large graphs of data and finding/traversing paths between them and many other things.

Now what makes EdgeDB different from other relational databases is our focus on improving the developer experience. EdgeDB is installable in minutes, has built-in migrations, a type system that supports type composition with mixins [1], and a cool query language - EdgeQL [2]. If you look at EdgeQL it will remind you of both GraphQL and SQL and that's not a coincidence.

As a current Pixel 3 user, I think this article is slightly hyperbolic. The phone still works great other than a worse battery, definitely not "garbage". The author is making it sound like the phone stops working. But then again I still use Windows 7 which also doesn't have security updates.

Hi. What tool do you use to access production database remotely? Say you need to browse some data, perform queries. Is there something like pgAdmin?

I'm interested in SQLite and I'd like yo know more.

What kind of noise does that JBOD produce? Do you have any links to a similar one on ebay?

On the other hand, in your sane world, productivity would be a fraction of what it currently is, for developers and users. You favor computer time over developer time. While computer time can be a proxy for user time, it isn't always as developer time can be used to speed up user time too. A single-minded focus on computer time sounds like a case of throwing out metrics like developer time and user time because they are harder to measure than computer time. In any case, it sounds like a mistake to me.
I think you covered most stuff pretty well.

> Much, much higher salaries - like 2-3x higher than Western Europe _before_ income tax!

> Much larger houses for the price. i.e. you can have a big house with room for hobbies or children rather than just a small flat.

But remember that in those parts of the US where people have those very high salaries, people seem to complain about not being able to afford to buy a house at all. Should be less of a problem nowadays with remote work though.
Are we using the word “mandate” correctly? So far all I’m seeing are requirements in order to utilize certain public/private resources (like visiting a place). But if you’re not using those resources, then the vaccine isn’t required. I’d think a “mandate” would entail requiring the vaccine for everyone.
No, the original point of the sub was always to end the current style of "work" – the idea that people need to be sitting in an office or breaking their bodies for 40+ hours a week doing something meaningless and uninteresting just to earn the privilege of living. Threads used to be about UBI, automation, unions, anti-capitalism, pursuing passions.

Then over the last year it has turned into a wall of (mostly fake) "my boss is bad" stories.

Yeah that’s something I can definitely agree with.

And I really should apologize, I think some of my own frustration was taken out on you there. I personally would really rather not own a car, but outside of the northeast, it’s very impractical to do so.
First they remove dislikes to make sure that it's impossible to tell scammers at a glance, then they literally implement tools for scamming people.

> but that Sony has a reputation to protect and the expertise to do proper quality control.

They don't, though. Sony, like many other companies, makes products for developing nations which are not sold in more affluent Western countries. ("World" products)

Trying to buy replacement Bluetooth earphones in India really opened my eyes on this one. The store I was buying from had a strict NO RETURNS policy, but still bent the rule when the headphones weren't iPhone compatible (scratchy distortion). After opening two more pairs of Sony with the same problem, they decided to stop and just gave my money back.

This wasn't a budget model - it's a model which you'll never see in the US or EU. Their products aren't just differentiated by country of manufacture, but by the intended market. Depending on brand name isn't enough.
The apologetics are always entertaining.

"True, the subreddit is called /r/antiwork. And yes, their motto (right at the top of their page) is "Antiwork: Unemployment for all, not just the rich!". But is it fair to call them "Anti-work"? Have you considered their moderate membership?"
It's a clear signal, the company values you less than when it hired you. When leaving a company like that I find it best to frame it in a way that they were unhappy with you. "Hey look I know you are trying to spare my feelings, but that is 6 percent less than inflation, clearly you want me out of here but didn't have the courage to lay me off. Thanks for the heads up, I've found another role."

I initially was going to say that CCP really only cares about its own interests.

Then I thought about my own country's actions and policies for a moment before posting (Guantanamo, labor and privacy laws, the 'medical system', and 'education system').

My revised thought was that the main difference is in whether the country still even pretends to seek justice for its citizens.

I do think there are differences, especially in degree, but the general motivations and actions seem similar enough.
I’ve skimmed the original filing including the quote from his emails on bullet 19.

It’s clear Dr. Chen does not consider China to be an adversarial government. Believe it or not, many idealistic people believe in a collaborative future, and unless Dr Chen’s work is classified or military in nature I don’t see a reason to assume anything but the best.

Similarly, he may have committed a crime like espionage but I don’t see any reason to assume this is true unless the government can bring forth evidence supporting that. Such evidence has not materialized yet.

If I study forestry and collaborate with the Canadian government, am I betraying the United States by helping a competing economic power get ahead in forestry? Ultimately, these sort of arguments always rely on moral absolutionism that China is Bad Always. Not everyone agrees with this.
> a senior SWE in Europe will generally take around 80/120k € (non-FAANG)

Nowhere near - I got 75k EUR at a FAANG (whilst the same position in the US paid ~$165k USD - the levels were public). I now get 86k EUR in one of the most expensive countries in Europe (with over 40% tax rate too).

But most Tech salaries are much lower, I started on the equivalent of $40k USD for example, and it's common for people to level out around $65-70k USD.
It doesn't appear to be down. What are you seeing?
Yes, because that old iphone is handed down to a kid or sold to someone else. The android resale market was trash last I looked. I still have family using iPhone 7 pluses but the battery is showing wear (but thats pretty cheap to replace).
> Among regulators, the US Food and Drug Administration is believed to receive the most raw data but does not proactively release them. After a freedom of information request to the agency for Pfizer’s vaccine data, the FDA offered to release 500 pages a month, a process that would take decades to complete, arguing in court that publicly releasing data was slow owing to the need to first redact sensitive information.

truBrain is the name of the startup. It's still around, though its product offerings have changed.
It wasn't ever about words, it was about how the media behind the movement wanted to spin it. Even the most conservative American agrees that abuses like civil asset forfeiture need to stop. It was anger being spun into an empty promise, yet again, from a party whose entire history is misery and subjugation.
That sounds like what someone could say about Linux:

~ Linux should be a hobbyist thing for people who want to spend their time tinkering with their computer, not a way to support a not-very-old device. ~

Whether it comes to phones or computers, I disagree respectively when it comes to custom ROMs or Linux.
You still get paid for unlimited vacation days.

I jumped off when the third Nexus 5X replacement Google gave me also bootlooped. Total junk and probably the most frustrating product experience I've ever had.

The writing's on the wall when it comes to Android SOCs now anyway, Apple phones from 4 years ago perform better and still get updates. They have their own issues, but they're not existential level problems.
They claim this, but they are lying. Independent studies show the difference is closer to 4%.

Google wants you to believe advertisers need all the data collection because it's Google's sole value proposition. If people realize Google Ads is basically a sham... there goes Google's entire revenue stream.

This is a company which fires researchers for publishing the wrong scientific results, probably discard any claim they make based on "their data" after Timnit.

I'm not even sure structs are inevitable. You could write a language around open sets of key/value pairs, for example.
It does seem to be a thing with Modafinil - I got a rash on my forehead after trying it. You definitely have to be careful with it, productivity gains are insane, but it's a double edged sword and will easily knock your normal sleeping patterns.
Just to have a diverging pov, I tried prescribed off-label modafinil for ADHD, because I was concerned about potential dependency on Adderall. It wasn’t nearly as effective as adderall, and it gave me a general sense of unease, like something about me was slightly off but not in a way I could pin down. Very uncomfortable. Ended up throwing away most of the bottle.
What I want is for them to commit to supporting a device for some number of years after it's introduced so I know what to expect when I buy one. It should be one of the things manufacturers compete on.
Huh. Technically, that would probably be considered buccal (via the cheek) delivery, but, close enough, right? I had no idea caffeinated gum kicked in significantly faster than pills or drinks.

Flameshot is quite good, but to me it's always played second fiddle to Spectacle[0]. Flameshot's purple bubble UI and strange UX workflow makes it a hard pick when native choices are just this good.

well this is second hand from him, so that also makes it about 12 years old, but I figured it seemed like the kind of thing they would keep if not get stricter about.

The problem of course is that they want to make sure you don't take too much caffeine and have a problem, so they want to limit the strength of what you can get and my understanding from him was the strength was limited so that it was hard to get anything into you with the strength of a cup of espresso, as ridiculous as that sounds but nanny-statism is a thing.
I found the headline messaging super off-putting.

"Can a native Mac code editor really be that much better? Find out."

I'm pretty happy with VS Code, which is free (and before that, Atom, etc). Why put the onus on me to figure out why a $99 editor could be better? Show me. Tell me.

I realize that they make an attempt to show/tell down the page, but a list of features that my current editor already has doesn't answer the original question in the affirmative.
“Reform the force”

It’s not hard to come up with a catchy tagline that doesn’t completely misrepresent the movement. Thing is, the movement is about defunding police. They’re not shy about that: https://defundthepolice.org/
It really seems like you are most valued the day you are hired, with your value declining by the day.
Rare too see a mention of Oinks Pink Palace. Such an amazing site and community. What and Waffles were never the same thing.
Can anyone moving from the US to Europe speak to the non-white experience? I’m interested in the UK specifically. We understand that the UK has some pretty harsh anti-hate crime and anti-hate speech laws on the books, but what is life like as a professional American person of color making a change from the US to the UK?

Is anyplace outside London considered inclusive?
If your "default" reading of any sociopolitical proposal is to assume it is an absolutist desire and not one more nuanced or practical under the hood, you have a wrong default.

"Defund the police" meaning "zero funds for the police" or "no police exist". "Anti-work" meaning "against all work" or "work" meaning "general expenditure of productive effort" or something.

You can look a little bit more into any slogan or label and see more of what it entails. Hell, some people might want to abolish police entirely or have everyone laze around in utopian bliss while not starving. Feel free to disagree with the former and see if the latter have any plan to not starve or if it's nonsense. I've generally taken each to mean "we should allocate public security and safety money differently" and "our current construct of the job as the sole driver of societal worth is bad".

So "default" to something more reasoned and nuanced and see if they are absolutist rather than the reverse. Pithy and descriptive tend to not go hand in hand so this applies often.
I am not sure where we disagree. I am talking about the (false) perception that the U.S. is the #1 among world nations. Maybe it is caused by comparatively higher marketing budget, but that doesn't ultimately matter, because the point is, the perception is still false, and ignoring Webb's predecessor contributes to it.

OTOH, I think Webb is amazing, and fairly, perhaps without the marketing it wouldn't even exist because of all the American deficit hawks.
I am not but I was daydreaming.

They didn't rule it in either. They chose to ignore the results of the test instead of search for a tangible explaination.
The only "duty" your employer has is to extract as much value out of you for as cheap as possible. If you expect anything different then you are going to be taken for a ride.
The real problem here is self-control and self-discipline, or the total lack thereof.

It's just like the people I see on here who have some bad habit, like browsing Facebook or HN all day when they should be doing something more productive. They will do things like set up a special program to lock themselves out of the computer or out of the web browser--using some technical hack rather than the correct approach: which is to simply DECIDE not to do these things and WILL oneself not to do it, in the process developing self-control and self-discipline.

The reason an obese person has such a raging hunger is because they are in the HABIT of eating so much. Habits are hard to break, because it takes willpower and dedication, which the average person in our corrupt society has been brainwashed and trained from birth not to have. In this society, we are trained to be weak, passive consumer drones, to indulge every feeling and craving foisted upon us by media "influencers"; to always give in to impulse, to never to make own decisions or say NO to anything, and if we try, to quickly give up and make excuses for failure. And look what destruction it has wrought.

One might slip up at first and not perfectly follow through on the decided agenda, especially after a lifetime of being trained to just give up and give in, but the correct response is to note when one is slipping up and CONSCIOUSLY take corrective action, rather than give up and blame "luck" or whatever--which is a loser mentality, like the cigarette smoker who "just can't quit" as he takes another drag, until he dies of lung cancer.

I was not myself born as a perfect snowflake who never got into bad habits or screwed up in life. I have done plenty of both. The difference is I CHOSE to give up the bad habits and live differently, for the long term benefit. Once the good habit is locked in place, doing the right thing is effortless.

If a fat or obese person decides to make a change, they will. If they quit eating garbage and cut back on portions, they will crave it for a time, but over time the cravings will lessen, and then disappear entirely. It's simply a matter of breaking old habits and forming new, better ones.

There was a time I used to drink soft drinks and eat fast food and Doritos like the typical fat ass does. The very conveniently placed vending machines at the government-owned school, with all the conveniently located fast food establishments, helped and encouraged me to develop these habits. Now after breaking the habit, none of this junk appeals to me AT ALL. There is ZERO appeal. From the outside, now I can see it to be what it actually is: JUNK. It is repulsive.

In time, as people change their habits, not only will much of this JUNK no longer appeal to them at all, but if any of it still does to some degree, they can indulge in it a little without harm--because they have developed the SELF-DISCIPLINE to control themselves.
I'd be happy to give more if I knew it wasn't going to people like who live in Harrison (for example).

They deserve to rot in poverty for their regressive, racist views, and the hate the spews from that town and out into the rest of America.

They do so much more damage than I ever could by making a good living.
New Orleans is a wonderful city. Berlin does seem like a great option to live for a couple years-- the biggest problem being that it's arguably too appealing to expats. I'd also recommend Valparaíso, Chile as a good Berlin alternative if you want to try Latin American life for a while.
Cool, what's your setup / workload look like?
Your hypothetical situation defines caffeine as being illegal and as in demand as cocaine. So basically you said if caffeine were exactly like cocaine then it would be exactly like cocaine. This is technically true but also vacuous.

Agriculture on a "heroic scale" allowed civilizations to develop.

I submit that Martian botany will the the start of "space farming on a heroic scale" - and that The Martian will inspire future generations.

As an aside, I dislike the implication that a personal story with only one life on the line is not heroic. I'm tired of world ending stakes in stories.
Maybe because Herschel was active for only a few years while Hubble is still going? Hubble has also produced some of the most recognizable images of space. It's clearly a name with more awareness in the general public.
Right, that's the calculation any consumer good producing company has to do. When we buy industrial equipment we pay a huge markup for vendor promises that they'll support for 10+ years. It's painful at the time but we have automated manufacturing equipment that's been running 20+ years. When I purchase controllers, sensors, motors, etc. it cost me double or triple what I could have paid but now I'm happy I did.

But I also know that our products (PCs and printers) can't have that same support model, we'd be out of business and we don't have a lucrative ad business that could buy us customer loyalty via loss leaders. I think 5-8 years is reasonable.
just fixed :) Thanks!
That's a hell of a minefield, but I'll bite: might a few more generations in our increasingly globalized world (airplane travel, etc.) cause a "melting pot" where pedigree devolves into a homogenous blend that puts everyone on the same playing field? Hard to predict, and it's kind of scary (enjoying the cuisines and other cultural differences is quite special) but the equity would be fascinating.
Blaming testing bias is a great way to gain support from disadvantaged minorities without having to actually do any meaningful work. Conveniently, it allows allows the elite to exclude the educated bourgeoisie from their elite institutions, instead replacing them with underqualified candidates who pose no real threat to the power hierarchy.
It's fascinating. Win chose LLP64 because pinned LONG to 32bit width in various format headers.
Yeah, the US pillaged my ancestors in the time of the Irish potato famines. Thank God for that.
Perhaps true. But just these last few days we have corporations actually getting temporary restraining orders to prevent people from going to work for another company and requiring the other company to "make available" to them those people who had quit their job and serve out their notice.

Thankfully that TRO was dissolved, but nonetheless.
