Very interested in what data engineers think about this project!

I am not a developer, but the founders (including Yury Selivanov, Python Core Developer, see also https://github.com/MagicStack) and the fact that these people have been investing in the project for four years already, make me think that EdgeDB can be an important project for the database world!

Now if only somebody made a decent ad blocker for phones. I haven't been able to find one (android) that works decently.
A part I feel like you're missing is that it's perfectly possible for someone to want less, and to have their wants stimulated by ads. So whereas the person might have been perfectly content before (pre-ad) they now want something that they otherwise wouldn't, which induces demand that didn't exist. You're focusing on fungibility of wants and ignoring the idea of totally new wants arising from advertising.
That's because for all practical purposes, it is. Name one bank or payment system in the developed world that released a native mobile app for KaiOS.
Heh. I used Netcom and they did not outright ban slirp, but they did have a script running that would renice (lower the priority) of user processes once they reached a certain total cpu time (two minutes). I discovered this feature shortly after they implemented it because my slirp network performance went down. Note that I am referring to cpu time and not run time. Most processes spend most of their time waiting for something, so accumulating two minutes of cpu time under slirp usually took several hours.

My solution was to write a program (I called checkcpu) that would spawn a process (slirp) and periodically check its total cpu usage. When it hit the threshold (110 seconds), it would spawn a child and suspend the parent (seamlessly passing the current run state to the child). It worked great and they either never noticed what I was doing, or they did not care. Over time, the number of suspended parent processes would rise, but it never became a problem.
My 2c. Typed languages justify themselves being typed by virtue of the complexity they themselves impose.

We say they help us with solving a complex problem but I'd say they are the ones that make the problem more complicated than it needs to be.

Yes they have their uses, but those are few and far between. The rest is just devs solving how to do what they want whilst keeping the compiler happy with whatever IBaseAbstract virtual template method thingimabob method the compiler needs.
It was tongue in cheek/sarcasm. Point is people with the money to buy new buy more vehicle than they "need" because it is what society expects of them so in some sense they "need" it to meet the expectations of those around them.

Read the article. This is about Apple submitting this data to private companies like Lexis-Nexis and then changing it when employees leave.
Everything I've heard about the Altera deal is that Intel has basically just been milking existing customers, rather than attracting new ones. If AMD does more with Xilinx sooner than they did with ATI[1] it could be good strategic move. If they start making FPGAs standard on their CPUs (short term on the enterprise stuff, longer term on everything) in the same way FPUs are, this could provide them with a significant advantage both in CPUs and GPUs. The other half of the equation would be to open up the FPGAs enough to allow 3rd party tool chains so that they could be at least as open as CPU ISAs. If they keep the Xilinx (and most other FPGA manufacturers) business model of 100% proprietary devices and toolchains, I think people will look back on this acquisition years from now the same way they do ATI and ask 'why?'. Basically it seems rather smart if they want the tech to enhance their existing offerings but rather dumb (especially for the price paid) to keep the FPGA business as a silo.

[1] The rationale of getting into the GPU business made a lot of sense but here we are 15 years later and it's arguable AMD has largely squandered the opportunity. Even in APUs where they should be slaughtering Intel, AMD continues to hobble them by putting previous gen GPU cores in them. This was during a decade and a half when Intel's iGPUs were fairly weak and nVidia had nothing to counter with... smart move AMD!

You can likely still do analytics if you don't collect an identifier that persists through multiple sessions. That's a big hit for ad-tech, but plenty other use cases don't really care for that property.

You can also collect that identifier if 1) you have a legitimate reasons to do so and 2) don't share it with third parties.
> If removing threats of violence is considered censorship, then the word "censorship" has no meaning. Think about it: how does censorship really occur? Do governments cast a magic spell that makes it so that the words can't come out of your mouth? No. They threaten violence[0], in order to punish you for saying the thing you don't want to say, which creates a chilling effect. This is no different than what Nazis do - they threaten violence against people whose speech they don't like.

Denying the holocaust didn't happen isn't a threat of violence. It is saying that something didn't happen.

Also a threat of violence has to be credible.

> At that point, the choice is not between "freedom of speech" and "censorship". It's "censor the Nazi" or "let the Nazi censor everyone else". You must choose the option that preserves the most freedom of speech.

This is a false dichotomy.

> And this goes for every other entity that threatens violence - not just Nazis. I'm only mentioning them because we're talking about the German legal conception of freedom of expression. Nobody says "I'm going to kill you" for the sake of it; they say it to terrorize other people into doing things they want, including things like not saying words they don't want spoken. This also goes for threatening violence against groups of people rather than speakers of certain words, and political speech that proposes using the state as a means to do the above. All of that is censorious, and as far as I'm concerned a definition of freedom of speech that does not include freedom from threats of violence is incomplete.

Your conception of freedom of speech isn't freedom of speech. It is "freedom to hear things that aren't too unpleasant".

As for the the chilling effect might work with some people. It won't work with others. With me it wouldn't work. I would tell them to "fuck around and find out". I won't live in fear.
> Well you did say: "NodeJS relies on V8, which is perhaps the world's most highly optimised interpreter (/JIT compiler/runner)"

Yes, and that's exactly what I meant. It's undergone the most optimisation. That doesn't mean the result will necessarily be more performant than some other interpreter for a different language which is simpler to interpret. By that logic, I could write an 'x86 interpreter' which would blow LuaJIT out of the water...

> But even in manpower this is pretty hyperbolic compared to Java and .NET.

I wasn't including Java because it's not strictly an interpreted language, though I admit you could write a whole book about the philosophical differences between V8's abstract machine vs Java's bytecode VM. .NET I don't know so much about. As far as I'm aware, .NET hasn't had as much manpower invested, though Java has & would certainly beat V8 if you included it.
Businesses exists for consumers. Fragmenting hurts people - European users - in the first place.

I see very little advantages from these privacy laws but I use and appreciate US businesses every day.
Reminds me of the practice of Translations.com / Transperfect, one of the largest language services providers. Their HR policy is to not allow employees to name the company in any online space, social media or otherwise. So when you see staff on LinkedIn, for instance, their employer will invariable say "Leading language service provider" or similar. These seem to be completely unreasonable policies, to me, that in effect are demanding that basic facts are ownable by the company.
It is! This finding justifies that observation with neurological data.

Getting thoughts to bits can be challenging. As the saying goes:

Ouch, indeed (from coinmarketcap):

> The coin has been Audited by Techrate and has passed this assessment.

Hanad Hassan has prior experience working withing the charity field however he will also be recruiting team members with a wealth of experience in project management and charitable organisations. Mr Hassan has also worked as a team member for 2 separate coins which have achieved high levels of success, $PIT and $SAFEMOON.

> Ahmed Mohammed (CMO) - Mr Mohammed is the owner of a digital marketing agency and has utilised his expertise to market $ORFANO and gain excellent exposure for the token.
Half or so of all Switch games are already made with Unity and I don't think Switch not being x86 is the reason most other games are not ported to Switch.
People who forget things, forget things. I'm not sure if it needs any more explanation than that.
Yes. It's a pretty clever circuit. You can think of film as integrating the amount of light that falls on it, so the photodiode integrator is computing the same thing. So the film will get enough light at the same time the integrator gets enough light. By closing the shutter at that time, the film is properly exposed.
Correct, the threat is the crime. And German Police was investigating channels that were consistently committing this exact crime on Telegram. Telegram was told these crimes were happening in specific channels and Telegram did nothing. They were now given the choice of no business in germany or removing the channels crime was being committed on.

And yes, content was censored on. But not only death threats were censored but also holocaust denial, eugenics and inciting hatred against ethnic groups (Jewish groups, specifically).

Even before K8S, you had and option of Openstack with Ansible. Yes, very different beast, but still much _simpler_ and _cheaper_ than stocking on large number of IT professionals.
Yes, but it answers "who does [keeping rates this low] help?" with an answer of "all taxpayers, both now and in the near-future".

I wouldn't dispute your point that titles are important, but would ask, should they be? It doesn't seem that they really mean much at a lot of places, or are sometimes even given out in place of compensation. One anecdote I can think of is my company hired a front end developer right out of a bootcamp. After a few months he went on to a job at a large sports apparel manufacturer with the title of Senior Engineer. He was competent and a sharp guy, but come on, Senior with less than a years worth of professional experience.
No one in the article or in these comments is saying that what Apple is doing is illegal or violates a contract. It's just a scummy thing to do.
Learning the language to a conversational level as someone who speaks English is exceptionally hard. As soon as a Dutch person hears the accent, they switch to speaking English. Therefore you need very expensive classes to properly learn the vocabulary you’re expected to know for the test. We can stay here forever on our current visa, but I’d rather be a proper resident and be able to take advantage of the entire job market. I’d be happy to pay the money if the Netherlands would let me have a Dutch and American passport. Pre-COVID I didn’t really care, but post-COVID, having a passport to get to my sick family and be guaranteed re-entrance to the US is very important.
You gonna have to be a bit more specific than that.

When I think "Swiss", "Germany" and "government intelligence agencies" then the things that come to my mind are Crypto AG [0], how the BND started out as a CIA OP [1] and how the very same BND seems to be more interested in pleasing American interests than protecting Germans [2].

Which is btw the same BND who cooperates with the NSA [3] to help them tap directly into one of the world's largest IXP De-CIX, completely legal in Germany [4].

The US made sure of that by pressuring the West German government into watering down the G-10 law [5] during the cold war.

So whatever "delusions" you are referring there to, you have to be a bit more concrete about them.

Fortunately, now we do have the internet. And if I ever want or need something, I can research it myself on demand or ask my friends, rather than rely on advertisers wasting my valuable time and attention with their junk.
The endless influence of Bauhaus is mostly a lack of aesthetic investment in products or structures. Bauhaus created a design framework for a global market society ultimately lacking any distinct identity or culture. Minimalism is the aesthetic of our time, conforming to the cost cutting ideals of mass production over humanist sentiment.
This is a weird superlative strawman. You are extrapolating way past the content of the comment you're replying to.
This is just a ridiculous response.

Older people have seen this hype cycle before drummed up by VC's and media.

Remember when "data is the new oil" and billions were invested in the "big data" market because it was going to revolutionize how businesses do business.

Sure theres a great use case and theres definitely utility but its another example of a solution trying to find the problem. Crypto / blockchain is similar. Theres good tech there and I'm sure it will be useful in some aspects, but again.. a solution trying to find the problem.
Note that while the 1977 trio left their competitors in the dust, they were not the first prepackaged, preassembled personal computers on the market. But the makers of the Sphere, Compucolor II, Sol-20 and so on were terrible on the business side. While Apple was a VC backed startup and Tandy and Commodore were large companies as you pointed out. The rest became just footnotes in history which few people have ever heard of.
I think this is partly because flying is so expensive in Europe and as a results pilot tend to have a lot less experience. It's really a hobby thing only. Not a "Hey I have a business meeting in Hamburg, let's take my Cessna" thing. The EASA/JAR tends to be very strict on the commercial thing so even taking a colleague on board a private plane to a business meeting would count as commercial use and thus require a CPL (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if flying yourself to a business meeting would count as commercial!)

Part of this is because of the strict regulation. Most pilots only do VFR because getting IFR rated is so expensive and not really interesting from a hobby perspective (no nice views, you can get the same experience in a simulator). Some would do special VFR but it's generally frowned upon.

Also, GA aircraft are generally not welcome at major airports unlike in the US where airport access seems to be viewed more as a right than a favour. So the processes around them tend to not be understood very well. This is another reason nobody opts for IFR ratings, there's not much you can actually do with it anyway, they're not going to let you land at Amsterdam with a Cessna 172 :P They definitely wouldn't carry avgas either.

So, basically we have a whole continent full of "sunday pilots" in terms of GA. And I think the strong legislation and thus costs are part of the cause for that.

PS I've never flown in or even visited the US so perhaps my understanding of the GA landscape there is wrong. But AFAIK it's really used for personal transportation there, which is kinda cool IMO.
I don't think frontend is a problem since there are so many bootcamps around nowadays...every body is claiming to be a full stack dev now...
> I dunno, I think I quite liked the world how it was before that!

I agree. I don't know why but when I read this article and the responses here stating how things can be related and can be measured, I suddenly felt this sigh? disappointment? for 'demystifying the mind'.
>Then Germans will have to prosecute those going to the website and using it or remove it from German DNS servers. Germany has no right to try and limit the rights of US citizens by extension of limiting those of Germans.

And? That's exactly what happened. The Telegram Operators were given a choice and they picked. If a US operator is given the same choice, they can pick no business with German users or remove the content the germans don't like. If they pick the later, you have no business to complain about that, really, since it doesn't affect you as US citizen.

>As much as I hate the Nazis, Nazi sentiment is not illegal in the USA as long as they stay within the law. The German government has no right to push their ideology and laws here. Again block Germans from the site or sue to have Parler block German user IP addresses (good luck with that, it won't last 5 minutes before the judge laughs and says "next case")

Nazis have no right to push their ideology here. Nor should they have anywhere. "They ought to be hammered back into the holes they crawled out of" to cite a recently popular music single in germany. All their ideology leads to is authoritarianism, oppression, violence and war.

Link to the discussion: "I changed my mind about advertising" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30270450
Right, because treadmills are exactly a boring replacement for an outdoor activity, and you need to augment that to convince people it's different and you should consoom their version.
That's actually not what the article is about. It's more about the backend server managing all or most of the application state, and sending slices of JSON or even fully-rendered HTML to the browser, which is responsible only for swapping in these new slices of UI with a thin layer of JavaScript.

In other words, it's about creating a SPA-like experience with little or no custom-written JavaScript.

That's not my experience.

I'm consistently told that communication is my strong point, that I'm good at interpreting statements into wanted functionality, and that my professional opinions are very thorough and well-thought out.

I'm told I'm slow. When I do code screens, usually in a language that I have limited experience in due to my diverse background in technologies, I don't get the job because others are faster.
>1) If the site is run as a tor endpoint, and says "no German users allowed", I wonder how the jurisdiction thing plays out. (Yes, I'm asking HN for legal advice!)

Ask your lawyer. Not any lawyer but yours. Anyone else answering is likely to give you bad answers, especially on HN.
It would be strictly worse. Advertising is at worst an annoyance. On the other hand, a legally-enforced gatekeeping bureaucracy that decides whose speech is allowed to reach other people is an Orwellean nightmare. Do you trust <insert your opposing political tribe here> to decide which political ads are acceptable?

Despite HN's fixation on G and F, there are multitudes of advertising channels both online and offline.
I normally use the replace/substitution in situations such as:
I have list of, say, 1000+ things/rows in a single column. I want to put them in a single line and separate by comma. It is is pretty easy to go there and substitute \n for ", ".

That said, that's also doable in a text editor, but I like that I can visualize the pattern and results more easily.
There is nothing in the HIPAA law or regulations which specifically bans this behavior by healthcare providers and device vendors. It's bad practice from a security and privacy standpoint, but not illegal.
Interesting idea! I read caminante's comment about usage caps in context and I'd check before purchasing a powerwall but even if caps were in place with our deal; the powerwall could be nice as a sort of home UPS.
What weather would make your bicycle unrideable?

I can only think of heavy snow if you don't have fat tires, or maybe sun and 40+ degrees celcius.
interesting. so if i understand this correctly, it's like a bridge between all those little version numbers and hashes in config files for modern infrastructure and full scale automation (from running of scripts to provisioning a short lived test environment) for checking if those little numbers and hashes need to be bumped. cool!
Sometimes forests need to be cleansed with fire to stay healthy.

I hate the idea that we need to project jobs, even if those jobs are significant net harms for society.

Advertisers, private health insurance, political fundraising. I will have no sympathy for the unemployed, should they lose their unethical jobs.
