Up until last year, the only real problems I ever had with recruiters were in staffing agencies. I feel like at least prior to the pandemic, people did at least skim over your resume to get an idea of who you were as a whole... I would get interviews, but nowadays I am lucky if I even get an automated rejection e-mail.
> EdgeDB does not treat Postgres as a simple standard SQL store. The opposite is true. To realize the full potential of the graph-relational model and EdgeQL efficiently, we must squeeze every last bit of functionality out of PostgreSQL's implementation of SQL and its schema. Even then we've bumped into the ceiling quite a few times, and needed to send patches and bug reports upstream. That's also why EdgeDB currently requires PostgreSQL 13 or later.

I have never understood Twitter as a product. The idea of following people seems bizarre to me. If I wanted to follow some product or organization I would subscribe to an email, mailer, RSS, or something of the sort specific to the thing I wish to stay informed about.

Over sharing, or the idea of broadcasting details about my life to strangers on the internet is also something I completely don't understand.
The taco bell bit makes sense; promotional period items like that might be entirely missed by infrequent guests, and may be enough to drive them in.

I guess I hadn't much considered the ability for something like a billboard to influence a traveler like that. A very good portion of their audience would see it day after day, but if you were just passing through the area, you wouldn't otherwise know some of the local options, interesting point.
> Probably one in a country that exited their trade bloc full of countries known for a variety of cheeses.

We still get EU cheeses in the supermarket - and photos of bare shelves/shortages in the media are pandemic-caused not Brexit-related (for the record I was a remainer so would gladly blame Brexit if that were the case).

However, even if we didn't get the EU cheeses we'd hardly be desperate given that some estimates put the varieties of cheese produced in the UK as high as 700 placing us alongside (or above) both France and Italy. We're certainly in the running for most varieties by most measures (though only around 10th or 11th for volumes, and to be fair a number of our varieties are more like variations though that doesn't take away from the point that the UK is a great cheese-producing nation in it's own right).

Out of curiosity, where did you get that 3x claim on green energy? And how is that related to Gas?
Interesting project! I'm curious about how this compares to other tech:

- How is data stored internally?

- What are the tradeoffs with this implementation?

- Do you generate indexes on data as it comes in?

- How are nested keys handled?

- Are indexes eventually consistent?

> A company “bought” Audacity and added spyware. The same company also did it to MuseScore.

Doesn’t this support FOSS? Because we can openly see and remove the spyware. Or if the company ever makes the product closed-source, we have past versions. We can even make our own open-source fork and compete with them.
Hell yeah. This is what I've wanted ever since I first learned about Apple's CoreData.

This seems great. I have a highly interrelated data model (think parsed natural language text with annotations), and writing SQL to keep all of that data aligned and synced is a pain with an ORM.

Am I right in imagining this works similarly to how Apple's CoreData does?
It lets you build objects linked to each other but handles all of the joining and syncing of the data for you to keep the object model in mind.

In the same vein will you be creating a Swift client?
AirTags shipped with anti-abuse features on day one, no other product provides any anti-abuse features whatsoever.

The speaker could be defeated, but the anti tracking stuff cannot be stopped without breaking the basic functionality.

If you’re demanding that companies must go to great length to avoid abuse of their products why aren’t you demanding the same from tile? Why not the myriad gps trackers on Amazon? It’s not unreasonable to demand that Amazon ensures every such tracker they sell has speakers and anti abuse features.

>...is like worrying about getting wet in a swimming pool; you're already wet.

No, that exactly not what it is. I never had COVID so I was never in that swimming pool in the first place. My personal situation allowed me to stay far away form any swimming pools so the risk of falling in one was very small.

Intentionally getting the vaccine gives me 100% of the unknown risk associated with it while not getting the vaccine gives me a unknown but lower than 100% risk of getting COVID and then once I have it 100% of the unknown risk associated with COVID but that happens ONLY when I get it.

This kind of risk assessment is done for every medical procedure.

Lets just make a though experiment and assume the risk of COVID and the vaccine would be exactly the same. Now its obvious that taking the vaccine is more risk than trying to avoid getting COVID instead.

Of course the risk is not the same but back in the days we did not know the risk of either so it was perfectly reasonable to try to avoid COVID for as long as possible until the actual risk for both is better known.

>I do not think that's perfectly reasonable to assume in the days of Omicron.

Pretty much everyone already did try to avoid getting COVID for over a year when the vaccines came out. Most of us succeed and did not get COVID in that time but somehow it should not be reasonable to think one can do it longer? Omicronw wasn't a thing then, its irrelevant, no one could include it in their personal risk assessment back then.
No one knew that Omicron would come and between the vaccine roll out and the first Omicron case many month passed.

Sure, things have changed now, Omicron seems to be way harder to avoid but on the other hand the risk is also way lower so the risk assessment is completely different now. Funny enough many people regret getting pushed to take the vaccine and would not do it again and even reject the booster(s).

Also the risk assessment for kids always suggested that vaccines are not needed for them and now with Omicorn less then ever. But the same people who declared everyone stupid/selfish or whatever who didn't take the vaccine, are the people who now push and promote that kids also get vaccinated and parent who dont want that are declared monsters. In other words thous people never cared about risk assessment and logical decision anyway they just want everyone to do what they want.
Everyone else is declared an anti-vaxxer and a horrible human for no reason.

Risk assessment for medical stuff is a personal decision. And People will decide differently which is perfectly fine. Not acceptable is to not respect it and treat people differently based on their decision.
> I'm really why employers care at all about your past employment

Some of it is “can you perform”

Some of it is assessing how little they can get away with offering you, if they decide to hire.
> making buyers purchase a 'bundle' of accessories

When I was looking for a new car a few months ago, one dealer had a $2000 "low inventory markup fee". I asked what that meant and he said, "since we don't have very many cars coming in, we're marking up the ones we have".
Yeah, that one just boggles my mind. A few huge PV solar projects out in the desert in southern California and Nevada got stalled by environmentalists complaining about increased shading cooling down the desert.

At this point, even if solar panels in the desert kill off a few species of lizards, seriously, what's the alternative? More damage will occur if we don't. It needs to be about minimizing total damage, even if it means damaging isolated areas intentionally.
It's the only social I use really but I've been looking into alternatives. Ever since Twitter decided to open up a crypto/web3 team and introduced NFT profile pics I'm out and won't support it... but as the only social I have to keep in touch with other open source contributors and projects I work on/follow it's going to take some time before I totally close my account.

That being said, good recommendations are welcome!
> perhaps we should call technical debt what it really is to the business: temporal debt

If they startle at the mention of "tech", how are they not going to be startled with "temporal"?
It depends, because different types of assets respond differently to inflation. The wealthier you are, the more likely you are to have more esoteric investments. The bottom 50% of the wealth distribution in most countries (including the United States) own almost no assets (including cash in savings accounts) and are often debtors, so they may find that inflation reduces their debts to a greater degree than their savings.
Correct, except for some brief delusional pumps, it's always done badly.

In the same period that Twitter is -10.4% from its IPO, the S&P500 is +150%. The NASDAQ composite is +260%.

And the destruction wraught by Twitter Inc goes beyond what can be measured in its shareholders' lost value. By purchasing short-form video leader Vine, privileging it just enough to undermine competitor Periscope, then fumbling Vine completely, they destroyed two promising US-based short-form video companies – allowing Chinese-owned TikTok to dominate.

Twitter-like companies overseas have pioneered new e-commerce & private-messaging features, while Twitter launches, then ignores, half-thought-out features like polls, bookmarks, or fleets.

Twitter Inc is a corporate malignancy suppressing innovation on an essential communications frontier.
Or Russian infiltrators. Isn't it funny how after deciding to get rid of nuclear reactors Germany suddenly realized that it needs to build a gas pipeline to Russia to cover it's energy needs.

What a terrible attitude to have, that's truly the worst possible interpretation.

How's that dissing anything? They are saying they have a good abstraction that will make you more productive. While it might not be, this is literally what makes software the amazing tool it is, building layers of abstraction that make you more productive.

You seem to have gotten it all wrong, how could building something on top of SQL be dissing SQL? It's as much of a diss as C is a diss to assembly and so on.

> Show me _how_ you can beat SQL in performance

It is literally a postgres instance underneath, if edgedb is malleable enough, you don't need to beat anything, you'll have the query you want (sans edge cases and some minor overheads).

> I'm just happy to go along with what I already have

Go ahead bud, I'm pretty sure it won't be legally enforced to use any time soon so you're good to go.

The fact that this low effort comments get upvoted in HN drives me mad, just the contrarian attitude will get you points no matter the depth or effort. You don't seem to have even read the landing page or tried it, maybe you did but your comment doesn't reflect that, this is the product of 4 years of effort by some devs that are trying to innovate, dissing it without even fully seem to understanding makes me want to vomit.
I'd really want to ask weird and possibly insensitive, but nonetheless (I believe) a legit question - shouldn't be it a society that needs to somehow change (I've no idea how, though), rather than technologies killed because it threats existing societal stuff? I hate to say this but it really feels that our assumptions of privacy are becoming outdated and there's no going back.

Unlike e.g. facial recognition, AirTags are not even some new breakthrough, just some well-known existing technologies made a bit more mainstream/commonly available (can't even say "more affordable", the price point hadn't changed). Yet, it causes an uproar.

Technological genie just cannot be put back in the bottle and it's only gonna get worse in the future, as tech will become smaller, smarter and more magical.
Of course the users do (and pay for it)

However from a political standpoint that's as good as nothing.
Heyo, chiming in from the Optimism team here. You should be able to get non-ETH token transfers (ERC20 or ERC721) via the Etherscan CSV export feature. You may have to make a dummy ERC20/ERC721 transaction to get the page to show up. If that isn't working for you, feel free to hit me up on Discord (I think we already have a thread together) and I can help get you whatever data you need.

See this random account for an example of exporting ERC20 transactions: https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x9c1e0c67aa30c063f3...
Tesla respond quite well in their blog:

>Over the past five years, the DFEH has been asked on almost 50 occasions by individuals who believe they were discriminated against or harassed to investigate Tesla. On every single occasion, when the DFEH closed an investigation, it did not find misconduct against Tesla. It therefore strains credibility for the agency to now allege, after a three-year investigation, that systematic racial discrimination and harassment somehow existed at Tesla.

and similar.

Of course there are many factors involved, but in the end increased demand is the primary goal of advertising.

If it were purely about informing that the product exists, ads could just be text instead of flashy animated popups. That's a form of advertising I could get behind. Would even be more accessible.
It'd be one thing if we weren't seeing high economic growth at the same time as inflation. But we are. So maybe this is the thing we need to get labor back in a place where their salaries match their productivity.
If such trade worked then the whole world would have already been practicing it for many decades. Yet what we know from the last 100 years of such attempts is that there is the sweet spot of 2-3% inflation, and deviation from it into either direction is punished.
He certainly knows how to create programming languages that last.
If you actually read the (admittedly long) thread, it's pretty clear that those imports are not resolved at runtime, and Deno has never evaluated imports at runtime either. Dependencies get evaluated and downloaded prior to startup, very similar to Go in fact.
> And the monkey selfie you mention was actually not obvious legally one way or the other. I believe the human eventually won, but it was down to the details.

Sorry, you're right there - my phrasing was definitely ambiguous. Like you say, there was a lot of nuance. But Wikipedia (initially contributors, then I believe, the Foundation itself) was very aggressive from the outset with "Screw you, no copyright to be found here!" which is an "interesting" stance to take when it's not at all so clearcut.
I get that this is a facetious comment, but I'd like to highlight to two groups my social network falls into.

Anyone I know who is technical isn't looking for a 6 month contract role in helpdesk halfway across the country that requires on-site presence.

Anyone else I know, even those who are unemployed, is non-technical and unqualified for the role.
Thank you for this response. Calling it a magical suggestion really does feel accurate. I was sitting here trying to think how you would even do this when everything is running on AWS (or Azure).
I have to admit that I (British) can't even think of another word to use in place of abseil, that word is so common. I've always presumed that was the only word there is for that particular activity.
To summarize: What some people are looking for is a business model. Free software is not a business model. Free software is an ethical stance, around which any number of business models may conceivably be constructed.
Side note: that’s the first flame war free / nuanced thread on crypto that I have seen on HN so far. Thanks for starting it!
It's an absolutely crazy proposition because there are very few people who would choose to reduce their quality of life. It's far easier to switch to net-zero energy sources than it is to completely redefine society.

The whole point is that $10 added daily food cost results in the food producer being able to hire more employees, which means the person who makes $0/day can make $300/day now.

Also these numbers are super weird. It's probably more like $10 total daily food cost going up to like $10.30, and going from making $30/day (part time minimum wage) to $50 (near full-time minimum wage).
Seems like it doesn't bother you at all if this hurts competition. Or maybe you don't understand that by hurting competition, consumers are hurt? In our case, with a medical product, it was patients who were hurt.
> You expect US, Chinese, and Japanese citizens to respect an EU fine for a law they have no say in?

No. What is the EU going to do, besides nothing? If you do business in the EU they will take your business away, and if you don't there's nothing they can do. I'm sure we all break some foreign countries laws every day and there's nothing they can do about it.

I do expect fines to be handed to EU companies and I expect them to pay them though.

Most content isn't made in the US, and the US somehow still forced its copyright system on the world.

These guys are from magic stack, they wrote the definitive async python postgres library, asyncpg. Very high quality library.

Been keeping a close eye on Edge, had even considered it as a primary database, and probably will in the future!!

As much as I adore the ergonomics improvements I really am more interested in the performance, replication, scalability story, with the likes of cockroach db reaching maturity in 2022.

But as a postgres replacement in general, I would highly consider using edge.

That's why it's called “current-sy” (only slightly joking) It's for current use as a medium of exchange. For investment/savings, you go to productive assets.

Hiring in my area, before I retired: (and before everything went online)

They ask for a resume and tell you when to be there.

You show up at the appointed time with the resume. After waiting half an hour. a secretary hands you a generic Office Depot tear-off employment application.

After another forty-five minutes to an hour, you get to see whoever's in charge of hiring. They're looking at the Office Depot sheet, and about half the time they don't even have your resume, which was probably round-filed by the secretary.

The hiring person isn't sure what job you're applying for, so they leave the office to consult with someone else. Twenty minutes later they return and either tell you they're not hiring, or they'll call you next week. (they don't)

My usual response was to send them an invoice for two hours of office workflow consulting at my entirely reasonable rate. None of them ever paid up, of course, but they stole two hours of my time.
There's some interesting devices these days. The foldables are super cool and is not something we had 4 years ago. They just cost too much and are too fragile...
It's the first time I hear about graph-relational DBs. I remember back in college learning about graph databases, but since I never touched one I don't remember much TBH.

Is a graph-relational database something completely disjointed from a graph database? Or do they share some performance improvements to some use cases? Also does EdgeDB keep the advantages of a true graph database even being based on Postgres?
EdgeDB is already postgres specific though.
