To clarify, my comment was based on anecdotal discussions and interactions with users, issue reports, feature requests, user enthusiasm for new MySQL support/functionality vs relative lack of enthusiasm for new MariaDB support/functionality, etc.

The Skeema CLI is able to accurately identify your database version and flavor (which is necessary for its functionality), there is no notion of MariaDB registering itself as MySQL. But the CLI does not contain telemetry, so I don't have hard stats on MySQL vs MariaDB usage.
I think it varies heavily, most of my customers are in Australia (where Twilio is even more expensive) and it seems to be working fine for them currently. But they're not sending huge volumes, they're also not sending anything mission critical (there is a sweet spot).

What's bad for him is good for me. Those C++ features helped me a lot. Actually, in terms of business value they saved me a lot of time.
Companies in the EU need cease no legitimate economic activity. What one must do is seek consent of European citizens before using their data.

Those abusing personal information without consent deserve all the fines that can be thrown at them. I'd rather there were personal liability in the same manner as Title IX of Sarbanes-Oxley, but in the meantime, this is the best there is.
I am currently hiring for the India entity (set up as a subsidiary) which handles part of the tech.

We're also hiring in the US. So far it's been happening via references, but if you are authorized to work in the US please feel free to forward your resume.

If you're outside the US or India, please know that we're working hard on being able to onboard from anywhere - but being a small org it's going to take us some more time. In the meantime, I've made a post in the freelancers thread [1] - and that's open to anyone, anywhere. It could lead to a full-time hire, and by that time we'd have figured out the necessary paperwork for it.

SPAC sponsors get essentially a free money trade when they merge with a company; usually this results in merging with sub-par companies with bad numbers (no revenue or even product usually) so investors can cash out massively without the company really needing to succeed at all

Case in point: most SPACs have fallen anywhere from 50-70% (evtol/lidar/battery companies) over the past year due to the fact that most don't have either a working product or poor numbers
I was thinking it would be nice to exercise in VR, but I would have to pick something aerobic I wouldn't mind doing blindfolded, which rules out a lot, but I think a row machine could work.

So I'm imagining a pacific-island-navigate-by-the-stars simulator, maybe speed up time so 8 hours of night become 30 minutes of cardio. Choose a couple of islands to row between, get some directions of which star to follow, and get to work.

Good news: some water simulation and a night sky are probably just a library include away, right?

Bad news: would have to do something fancy to nail the motion sync, I was thinking an arduino and some hall effects, really just need to capture the bookends of each rep and adjust the video to match your movement. I guess goggles already do position tracking but I think I would basically want to predict the snap when you change directions, as even a few ms lag will ruin the immersion.

Alas, I am merely a web developer without so much as a pair of goggles, but I think this will be a good starter project on account of not needing to create any assets. Godot looks very promising. If anyone else has VR-but-good-for-your-body ideas I'd love to hear them.

And you're being naive or arrogant enough at this moment to think this is "cry[ing] about internet points."

Maybe brainstorm as to what the actual implications of the dopamine hit/easy reward to downvote/suppress content is vs. simply having an upvote mechanism, and then share your thoughts and I'd be happy to get into a conversation with you. It doesn't sound like you've spent the time to actually extrapolate to the full consequences of the downvote mechanism.

Your response here though is one prime example as to why downvotes for most content types shouldn't exist. That you spent the tiny effort to click downvote to react to what you perceived as my "whining" - that that was a strong enough trigger or annoyance for you emotionally says more about your emotional regulation than the content of what I said, likewise by actually commenting you outed yourself or rather shared your actual qualitative reaction/response - so now there's an opportunity for a conversation, to broaden or enhance your understand or perhaps get educated by seeing things more from my perspective.

Don't you think having a qualitative response vs. a single quantitative digit changing to suppress content in an algorithm is more valuable to you, to society?

P.S. Upvoted you for commenting. Now maybe your comment won't be at the bottom, interesting how the "worst" or less valuable or lowest quality [qualitative] comments naturally make their way to the bottom - without requiring the downvote mechanism, isn't it?

P.P.S It'd be neat if HN/dang would offer a parallel view of posts, and then in the actual thread view, have 2 columns of comments - one not influenced by downvotes, and the other as the status quo - so people can start to experience and contrast; because AFAIK downvotes/upvotes aren't available in the API, so a third-party can't develop this? I'd certainly develop this system if HN's API could facilitate it.

Edit: let me explain. Larry bought mysql to save oracle from being outcompeted by a young entrepreneur. Who left after 2 years to create an even more competent DB. To add insult to the injury, this market value is below what they paid for mysql 15 years ago, which makes Larry look incompetent.
> I challenge your assertion that between 3-5% of people disagree. Would you stake your life on that claim or is that simply more fake news you are spreading without verifiable sources?

I'm refrencing over all also, I should have specificed scientists. I'm pulling those numbers from having climate skeptics on...

>Did you watch the podcast so you could criticize it intelligently or are you purely spewing hate based on what you read/heard in MSM? Seems the latter.

I'm sorry I upset you... However I do listen and I had to stop cause I fact check if I have a question so naturally I started hating it. The podcast cause instead of having interesting scientists on that are controversal cause they speak on risky new research and techniques, he brings people that spew fake info on covid a life or death severity repeatedly.

It's not complicated. Traffic laws are not perfectly aligned with safety. Plenty of legal things are unsafe and plenty of things that are illegal are not always dangerous.

This isn't surprising either. The process of making laws is political and politics are clearly not an ideal way to decide on a perfect and exhaustive and precisely detailed set of rules for anything. The laws do not constitute an algorithm for driving. They are necessarily simplified. And yes, a self driving car is going to need a set of driving rules that are much more detailed than anything humans have written down before.
"Okay, there is no local pollution but the damage is done somewhere else."

Is that the old coal/nat gas trope that the fossil fuel a-holes trot out to FUD? Have you looked at LCOE for coal? And nat gas is about to be economically uncompetitive as well compared to alt energy, without subsidies. If there was a proper carbon tax, then it wouldn't be close.

Power companies lose money on coal, and are breaking even natural gas. They will be strongly incentivized by economics, not LIB-UR-AL REG-U-LATION, to get rid of that stuff as quickly as possible. Solar/wind is STILL dropping. Things have slowed in the LCOE graph, but I wonder how much of that price drop slowdown is inflation.

If you're talking about battery materials and car construction, that is, AT WORST, the same as building an ICE vehicle... except ICE vehicles have about a 100+ more components and parts than an EV. LFP chemistry (and hopefully sodium ion) batteries will be very cheap. Cobalt/Nickel chemistries are rapidly becoming the domain of vanity and luxury cars... the 300 mile LFP/Sodium car is probably about a year away, but it is coming.

EVs will drive research into Carbon Fiber as well: hopefully we get an breakthrough like the Bessemer process or Haber process that will deliver low-energy economical carbon fiber bodies. ICE/Big Oil never cared about that.

As for hydrogen as grid storage, well, you're just proving my point that it is inapplicable to consumer transport. Thermodynamic losses for hydrogen generation, even temporary, will make it noncompetitive once mass scale LFP/Sodium or other grid storage chemistries hit the big time.

Sure throw some research towards Hydrogen and fuel cells. They do have potential in aviation and long haul trucking/shipping. Just like we should throw some research at LFTR and next-gen nuclear.

You might as well have said "MONORAIL!"
And then one wonders why the EU is such a *it-show ;)
Don't know the code for specific code for that contract but contract wrapping/unwrapping doesn't necessarily imply that anyone can withdraw ethers sent via normal means. If the contract is upgradeable it would be possible but being upgradeable should be built into the contract first.
Europe Forced to Rely on Expensive, Dirty Coal to Keep Lights On
Android Developer | Remote (global) or in-person (Pleasant Grove, UT) | Full Time | https://pura.applytojob.com/apply/JP9BwgXo2t/Android-Develop...

We’re hiring a mid-level software engineer to work on our Android mobile application. This app is the way that tens of thousands of people control their smart Pura fragrance diffuser. From controlling the smart diffuser hardware, to managing fragrance subscriptions, your code will be making a meaningful difference in how people interact with our product.

You’ll be working in a cross-functional team of talented people from across the world where everybody can participate in the solution and make an impact on the product we deliver to customers. Ideally you’ll have worked on Android applications before, but if you’re well-versed in Kotlin or Java and have a curious mind, you’ll pick things up no problem. We believe nobody starts any role as an expert. We want to find motivated people who want to do their best work rather than finding someone who has done it before. As a progressive company, we love to learn new skills, grow, and have fun. Therefore we’re not afraid of adopting new technologies that could help us increase our development speed and deliver the best experience to our customers.

Send resumes to bear@pura.co and I will get you in the pipeline!
Amazon Says Sad Workers Can Shut Themselves in “Despair Closet” (2021)
Steam is directly mentioned in the article as a content aggregator.
Very curious. At first glance, it's not clear he's targetting the Wifi 6 (or Wifi 6e) mesh implementations. If he's already running something, he's the place to send collaborators that are interested here. The goal here would be to compete with Netgear's Orbis with DIY low-cost hardware...
The point is that you can't rely on FSD to fully self-drive. Somewhat decent doesn't cut it. In particular, if it can't avoid potholes, it's not safe to let it drive on the road.
What it looks like to fly through the Sun's corona
SPAC sponsors and mariadb investors get to cashout massively, while the SPAC drops 70% in the next year. A tale as old as time.
This is what I'm doing so far. I typically answer stating how I would like to work and hint my conditions and let them know that I'm happy to follow up if they see a fit.
I was just trying to articulate what I see as a difference between a purpose built career network and a network of actual friends from work. There is a difference between those two types of networks not captured when you call them both a "Professional network".
This is why I usually go for LGPL. Much more sane terms for infection.

As others on this thread have pointed out - avoid unaffiliated recruiters, talk to affiliated/salaried recruiters from a company.
I agree if AI were dominant in driving in future, it could be loosen. But for now I'd say they should still follow the same rule as the human driver.
unfortunately this is also a signal of a juicier target for monetization, not that fastmail is doing shady things like that, but that's what less scrupulous companies see
Sorry, that is high! Somewhere around 20% for low power electronics (not just chips), according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1248308/share-of-automot...
Same. Sorry for any good recruiters out there, but these people are generally used car salesman like scum. Multiple keep emailing my work address even after asking them numerous times to stop. One I worked with on a potentially good role - acted like my best buddy, constantly texting and calling for weeks, and when I decided not to take the offer, just ghosted me. Not even an 'OK thanks anyways'. I think even an annoyed reply like 'Sigh, OK' would have been more professional.

Anymore I just ignore them all.

The filter i’d love but haven’t seen on any job site is the ability to Exclude companies. I am never interested in a Facebook or Amazon position, and they take a lot of real estate.
Wow, there's been a bunch of public work in this space since I started! I was aware of the Agoric Realms work that preceded SES, but haven't kept up with their progress. I looked over some of the current SES/Realms code, and didn't (quickly) find anything that can limit CPU or memory consumption of the untrusted code in the browser. I decided to base my efforts on QuickJS/WebAssembly because there's much less inherent risk and a greater guaranteed deal of control compared to any solution that shares a GC heap with the untrusted code.

FWIF, Figma's plugin system started out with Agoric's Realms shim and then switched to QuickJS after a security incident: https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/
Closeness isn't a requisite for nepotistic behavior, only undue bias due to personal familiarity.

Actually it is; it's how the term is defined.
One of the things that I've realized over the past few years is that for many years, I deceived myself into believing I was thinking far more deeply about things than I actually was. Even now, I can fall back into old habits and scratch that dopamine itch by regurgitating information that I __feel__ like I fully grasp, only to realize I barely have a surface level understanding of the subject when deeper discussions occur.

I've come to the conclusion that I have a strong disposition towards feeling like I've actually done the hard work of deep comprehension, while also allowing my strong aversion towards doing the actual work to stop me from doing more than the bare minimum to sound knowledgeable.

In practice, the only method that I've found to counter that urge is to constantly self-analyze (i.e. ask myself the same questions that may come up in a deeper discussion) and interrogate my beliefs. By doing that, I force myself to confront the fact that I don't understand things as well as I believe I do.

Once I've broken past that mental barrier, it's far easier to actually commit to taking the time to fully comprehend a subject—the difficulty is primarily in identifying the barrier in the first place.
