Write-optimized data structures are important because a lot of times hitting the writes/second limit means rejecting wires and losing data.

If you’re thinking of putting a large write queue/buffer in front of the database to avoid losing data, well an LSM tree is one way to implement that. And since you can query it, you might not need a full database anymore. Read caches that lag behind the ground truth can do the job.
The biggest threat to men, and by consequence social stability and peace, is the rapidly increasing fraction of them who do not have sex. This is going to be a major risk to world peace.
Ask HN: Advice on Designing an Interview?
I recently started at a company x months ago. A colleague and I, both agree t0hat the interview process is not one we would willingly tackle again. I raised this with my manager and they have delegated complete responsibility to myself, which I am pleased about, however I don't have a huge amount of experience as an interviewer, although I have done government training to be an interviewer (anti-bais, score cards).
The type of role is a Data Engineer favouring the profile of a Software Engineers in the data space.
What advice can you offer? If you have interviewed for a similar role what good/bad experiences have you had?

> There may be an avenue that would let you request copies of the video.

If that's true, my guess it that the mainstream media is aware of it and will have copies of the video.
I think you're seriously misreading the above person's comment to the point of putting words in their mouth. Saying "X gender is less likely to be interested in Y" is not saying that people of that gender "aren't supposed to like Y" as you put it. It's making the observation of different gender distributions. Women are more likely to be interested in equestrian sports. This is an objective fact, there's more than 2 women for every man in equestrian sports. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with a man that shares this interest.

It's also difficult to see a correlation between weaker gender roles and more interest in STEM among women. If anything, the correlation is reversed: more equal countries see less women interested in science and technology [1]. Different preferences of toys among infants are observed even before they're able to talk [2][3].

It seems to me that these claims of societal influence or bias is rooted in the assumption that everything is going to be perfect 50/50 distribution, and thus anything that doesn't conform to an equal distribution is evidence of some sort of pressure or bias. On what grounds do we claim that 50/50 interest in science and technology is the default? This is almost never answered, people just postulate it as fact.

Let me make it simpler: How do YOU know that 2-year-old death was "common" among these people, at this time? What supporting sources to this putative fact?

I can understand being skeptical of the article author's conclusion, if they did a poor job explaining themselves... But your counter-hypothesis is just creative writing, without something a little more solid to back it up.

I wasn't paying full attention to the code blocks initially so these two statements confused me until I went back. VACUUM FULL is what was actually run - VACUUM would not have moved tuples around, but if VACUUM was run before the INSERT, then that empty spot from the DELETE could have been reused.

Karpathy: Where Will Artificial General Intelligence Come From? (2017)
There was another article posted today about LSM trees, and how they use segment files. I think at the end of the day the "distributed, fault tolerant, key-value storage" is using segment files too. By having your database use segment files directly you're just skipping a middleman.

The author took some poetic license with the narrative bits. The reality is that the anzick site was completely destroyed by amateur collectors. We don't actually know if the artifacts and the bones are associated, nor do we have enough to say much about the cause of death beyond ruling out some basic diseases. However, human sacrifice is incredibly rare historically while natural deaths aren't. The balance of probabilities suggests the latter.
Right, that stereotype, and its use to justify sexual assault, is absolutely toxic. But there's nothing masculine about it, hence my objection to using the phrase "toxic masculinity" to describe it.
I think the bigger surprise for me is now that the most gender imbalanced words are highly imbalanced, but that more than half of the male ones seem so common place and hardly obscure to me. I imagine women would react the same way to most of the female words.
I read the American Spectator for a year or so. William F. Buckley Jr. was a regular there, if I recall. I was young so a lot of the thirst for battle was lost on me. However the quality of writing was undeniably high, and for the first time, as a lover of literature but basically in a very liberal bubble, I got the sense that there was a kind of intelligence that I really was missing. I didnt care about Left or Right affiliation at that time.

Forbes at the same time seemed like more Hollywood in print, idolizing all things money. Sort of ridiculous to my mind, with expensive looking ads, and pretty decent typesetting for a magazine. Hard to describe the print world today among all the phone users and instant news everything.
> Many boys are thus often growing up raised by single mothers, the share more than doubling between 1980 and 2019, from 18 percent to 40 percent.

This is surprising to me when the reduction in crime in NY in the 1980s/1990s is often attributed to allowing abortions, i.e. a reduction in single mothers.

Could just as likely have been a high status individual, say the child of some other high status people, or someone chosen to have been a religious figure (as happens with Lamas in Tibetan Buddhism), or someone who died in an unlucky way (so a special burial might have been to try to ward off bad luck) or perhaps they had some organic disability that doesn't show up in the bones (as some cultures consider epileptics to have been touched by a god).

Impossible to tell today, though anthropologists likely have behavioral clues that makes their conjectures slightly more likely than the random ones I and you thought up.
Interesting response.

Not sure that I qualify as an expert, but in the case of Postgres the choice was probably influenced by the fact that readily available, distributed, fault tolerant, key-value storage wouldn't exist for at least another decade.
Yeah exactly this you just need to put in time and effort.
This is so hilariously wrong. Let's dig in to why:

> we'll fix all these gender inequality problems once parents stop making such a big deal about gender

Citation needed. Gender matters. It's possibly the most fundamental component of the ego. Different genders react differently to stimuli.

> girls are not respected because they are raised to be shiny princesses with no real power

Massive, massive generalization here. Girls are respected (among men, which I assume is your grievance) when they show up and work hard. My wife was raised in an ultratraditional Christian environment, wasn't allowed to wear pants until she was 18, and had to wear a headscarf whenever she left the house. Talk about taking someone's agency. She's the blue-collar worker between the two of us, and she's well-respected at her job because she puts in the work and is helpful.

> boys often have violence issue as in the article because they are raised to be "tough"

You need to hear this: boys tend to be more violent. That's what testosterone does. It raises aggression, lowers empathy, and lowers agreeableness. This is normal, boys fight. This is where the phrase "boys will be boys" comes from—not rape apology. Boys have anger issues at a higher rate than girls, but oddly, it happens more when they don't have a good father figure, one who will teach them how to bottle it up when it needs to be bottled up. I'm sick and tired of women with no experience of being male trying to tell men how we should deal with our emotions. Sometimes, being raised to be "tough", as you so eloquently put it, is absolutely necessary.

As far as I can tell, these perceptions are nearly always coming from our own unconsciouses. We have almost no objective data about who is behind the little bits of information we see on the internet, or why they have the views they do, and so these little particles of information organize themselves according to the shadowy magnetic fields in our own head. The overwhelming majority of the time, who's actually on the other side of the transaction is someone else just like you, holding their views for the same reasons that you hold yours, and perceiving the same sorts of insidiousness in the things they disagree with or dislike.

Just to be clear: I don't at all mean to pick on you personally! "You" here means all of us because it appears to be a universal (or, to be nice, near-universal) bias.

I love that the comparative genetic data can illuminate some interesting information this way.

One thing that jarred to me as I read the article: the capitalization of what to me are not proper nouns, like "Indigenous peoples", "Traditional Histories", "Oral Traditions" or "Native". Other capitalizations seemed like the standard capitalization of proper nouns in English e.g. "Na-Diné". For example I consider myself an immigrant, not an Immigrant.

Is this just a quirk of the author or is this a kind of jargon in anthropology? To me it certainly gave the otherwise fascinating article a whiff of "1066 and all that".
