It is mighty difficult to explain something well to a child, and as with any communication it depends on both sides in terms of their capabilities (bandwidth and latency by analogy). However, more importantly there is metaphysical question as to why the communication should happen, and what the end result should be. That is something Im missing in sites aiming at reaching an audience as young as elementary schools.

The introductory end sentence is full of speculative extremes selected from stories put together by people having all kinds of stake in that message (for political or professional prestige reasons). One is free to do it this way to induce fear and paralysis, but it is not motivating in my view.

Personally, Im very much against putting up a fictional/speculative proverbial "Goliath" with which kids cannot possibly aspire to understand or compete. The induced response is "consumerism", a special kind of (the green one), blind emotionally driven activism for or against things they do not understand, or just ignore it.

To improve this article the author should do two tings (for kids):

1) Replace "global warming" right after defining it as a concept/label with a concept of ecological destruction/stresses (there temperatures variations can be talked about) - but its leads naturally into holistic understanding (for children)

2) Introduce immediately a concept of climate stabilization. There, immediately, it will come into blind alley as this is a blind spot of current atmospheric/climate science. And that is the point (and should be highlighted), that is the motivation -- we have to figure this out, and that is for the children to lock onto -- it opens up so many fields of inquiry. Meanwhile, give them sense of scale of things, use numbers that kids may be able to relate to, make them think and wonder and ponder.

This article feels like a dry school-test driven approach of "clergy approved citations and memes" to earn a good mark is not doing much service apart from having a class of yes-man future population.

As D. Bohm implored, we need heretics (engineers and scientists) ready to challenge for the sake of understanding of the issues as well as proposed solutions. At least, strive for such ideal.
Why not go back to that lifestyle?

The Youtube recommendation engine is amazing. It will constantly provide you with content to consume, giving you that dopamine rush. The downside of it is that you end up wasting countless hours of your life watching Youtube. This extension reduces the stimulus by hiding the non-essential dopamine-inducing elements.

Using this extension, you can configure Youtube to:
* Hide Feed
* Hide Comments
* Hide Right Sidebar
* Hide Related Videos
* Hide Subscriptions Bar
and more...

This extension uses a different approach compared to site-blocking extensions. The problem with site-blocking extensions is that they are binary in nature. You either block or unblock a site. Most mortals end up unblocking/blocking constantly leading to limited benefit. This extension is complementary and is intended to reduce time spent.

There’s still the risk of a sudden culture shift where e.g. the San Francisco school board decides it’s no longer acceptable to have a high school named after Abraham Lincoln.
I'm surprised I see much more emphasize on money and almost nobody mentions working on something less trivial or using interesting technology. The latter could be simply different from what you are bored with by now (e.g. Flink after Spark, Scala after Java, streaming after batch processing). Especially taking into account that in large companies with the best compensation you typically end up in a silo in this respect.
tldr; strip
Thanks for your interest on my use cases.

It definitely wouldn't make sense to do the work you can outsource for 10 or even 100 euros a month and your example for MySQL 8 is indeed very good. (I run many RDS instances too so I'm familiar with the product and its price.)

However, I would like you to consider people like me a potential target too for top-spec use cases.
Would I be willing to consider to pay x3 times rather than x10? Maybe! Probably at the cost 1-3 year commitment, as AWS, I would. Who knows?
You guys should probably add explicit (and imo restrictive) licenses to your open source repos. You don't want AWS or other providers to copy your code and offer this as part of their own offerings.

Great job btw! Maintenance and support is one of the major issues preventing wider adoption of open source software.
The new Shortwave is only 22Mb! It's also just a web view like Fastmail though.
I agree with most of this. Using shorter, simpler sentences is something I've had to slowly learn how to do. I have worked with many people for whom English was not their first language. They are all very skilled, but I have experienced that the way I instinctively write can cause difficulty. I naturally reach for lots of dependent clauses, qualifications, and diversions. Splitting those out into separate sentences takes a little effort, but I find that it increases communication quite a lot. I try to notice myself getting too florid in messages like PR comments. And I will spend a little time rewriting them to simplify the expression.

I tried to write this comment in a "plain" style from the beginning. There are still a few items that I think could be improved. "for whom English..." might be one example.
But not an intentional one. They bought it as a "hey we're relevant too!" move at peak autonomous car hype, and as it's hardly additive in real life, are trying to IPO it for the dumb money before they have to write it off (e.g. Habana).

Would it not be wonderful from both a religious and science fiction standpoint if this was catching the data upload in progress…. I don’t mean this sarcastically in any way, but such an action would fit into many world views amongst our readers. I would welcome “all that I was” being recorded somewhere in case it’s valuable to something or someone.
Yes you can. And this will create threads on demand as needed.

But you need to know when you must call this and when it's ok to not call it.

The type system won't help you with that. But if you forget to call it you can cause starvation and if you call it too often you may create too many threads.

What I see in the ecosystem is that such tricks are perceived as hacks and that it would be just better if one could just write a pure rust reimpl.

Surely there are enough reasons that drive people to reimplements stuff in rust. I think this aspect of async nudges people even further into that though.
The benefit of putting a game key in a public place is to make porting the key easier. So yea, sharing a wallet would be possible. This is definitely not something corporations want.

One of the hosting providers should just give this kid a $5/mo VPS in perpetuity. Call it a marketing spend. His heart is totally in the right place - I really respect the thought he's put into his options, and contemplating the downsides of modern day options. The threat model he's worried about is quite real, and I don't think we really know how bad things can get when so much data is accumulated in one place.

That said, I hope he doesn't give up the search for an alternative method, even if it's stashing a box in a hidden part of the library.
I've had coworkers bring up "impostor syndrome" when they're clearly just not (or kinder, let's say not yet) qualified to do their job. That's... super awkward. I think we all just need to be able to step outside ourselves and really gauge ourselves fairly like anyone else, neither being too harsh or too generous. But that's far more difficult than it sounds.
So freedom just means power. Got it.

Haha. I’m a guy and used to watch Sailor Moon with one of my best friends (also a guy) back in university.
The Golang fanboyism is getting out of hand. Rust may not be the flawless language zealots tend to believe but at least it has something new to offer that was missing from the PL ecosystem and many other features that the industry didn't take seriously till lately cause they were "only for research languages".

I don't even get why Golang is considered a good language. The new goto primitive for concurrency, the half baked error handling, the fact that it's designers think that programmers are not smart enough and made a language that looks like Java and feels like Python (but hey, no class inheritance and the compile times are faaast) are just a few of the examples that don't make it good enough for me. I wonder how popular Golang would have been if it wasn't backed up by it's company.

What is this tendency for the software industry to try and make everything "easy"? Trying to oversimplify something that is inherently complex only adds accidental complexity.
I did this a few years ago with my crock pot. I called it "perpetual porridge" and kept it running for about three weeks.

The first few weeks were sensible: I made a soup and added root vegetables and water. Sometimes some sausages and beans.

I do remember the mistake: adding a super old (not moldy) half loaf of sourdough for it to chew through.

From then on it was spoon after spoon of funky sour. Haven't tried it again since.

Seems like a great strategy for clear broths though!
If it is being kept at a proper and maintained simmer of 185°F to 205°F, that shouldn't be an issue.

If it is at 140°F or lower for any length of time, then there's an issue.

This all is about keeping a disciplined kitchen. That never ending stew if it is maintained properly, then maybe.

Consider how many kitchens rack up obvious health code violations and then ask if they're disciplined enough to make sure they're not having problems with the non-obvious ones.

The soup that was started a few hours ago starts with a completely sanitized initial condition and has a history to consider of a few hours. The never ending stew has a much longer history to consider.
Just fixed. Still very much word in progress. Thanks for pointing that out.

At the very least I have doubts that the stew would continue uninterrupted during the siege of Perpignan in the 1640s during the 30 year war.
Wow. This seems like such a staggeringly good idea. Congrats on launch, and kudos for bringing this to life! Curious about the overhead (ie, benchmarks for the simplest scenario: vanilla postgres vs going through hydra for the same queries and load). But unless there's a huge hit there (which seems unlikely), this seems like a really exciting development.
My point was meant for novice riders which probably don't ride the distances where regular wear vs cycling bibs really have an impact. For a 5km ride to work and 5km back I think it's safe to leave the padded shorts at home but you could still have a sore bum because of bad fitness.
I'm curious why the requirement was to not port forward? Seems like the author values the independence of self hosted stuff and port forwarding is a pretty common solution.
He was making a point about the proliferation of porn. It's not so bad if your settings turn off NSFW on various sites. However even then, it's often in your face. I won't go into details though.

Porn isn't sex. The repeated exposure to a huge volume of media can't be compared to a physical experience. It's more comparable to a drug.

What I'm saying is that I object to the "pay practices take advantage of labor" framing. I very well might be paid less than some of my coworkers. If that's true, it's still not the case that anybody took advantage of me. I mean, not in any sense greater than when you buy something you think is worth more than you paid for it and feel like you got a deal. We all "take advantage" every time we buy something for a price less than the maximum we'd be willing to pay.

I recognize, for what it's worth, that this is not a popular intuition (even though I maintain that it's the correct one). People get similarly outraged when they learn about price discrimination schemes, which I find entirely unobjectionable.

Hi, JD here, Hydra's CTO. Thanks for the great question!

You can use our manual router[1] to route queries that use a specific syntax or functions. The way this works today is you wrap your query in an SQL function. In the future, we could detect use of a specific features and route those queries appropriately. I think there might be other ways to solve this as well e.g. by having a 'stub' aggregate function in Postgres for the function you want to call. We are working with customers to iterate on issues like this as they occur.

>Australia is ruled by capitalists

I'm sorry but the very phrase is nonsense and overly simplistic. Australia is ruled by politicians and those who collude with them, just like nearly anywhere else to one degree or another. Many countries are ruled by definitely non-capitalist leaders and do the exact same things, just as do countries with lots of influence from capitalist leaders (The U.S. for example). Capitalism doesn't automatically make a country authoritarian nor does it specifically provoke crap like this from the Australian government. If anything, it helps fight it to some extent in some cases (while also often helping it). With non-capitalist systems there isn't even the possibility of resources spreading where they could fight the state's overreach too.

My response to this comment/question is always "it's not my problem you're underpaying everyone else."
Ahh, that explains why I can never get it working in Firefox on my Android tablet.
Sheesh being down voted on hacker news for a technical response. If my technical response is wrong, please let me know.
Out of interest having never been on an airline that forced you to install an app to get what is now a basic customer service, what happens if you don't have a phone that supports their app? Do you get a discount?
In a similar situation, I run a number of services I use intermittently on my home server. I debated bringing it to college, but decided to leave it at home. I can always SSH in, and should something happen that I need to be present for, I can text my family (though that hasn't happened yet). My main concern is always rebooting after I update, but I keep everything similar between my laptop and my server so I know what might break ahead of time.
The modules are available from Intel. You're locked into some of our custom components, true. But this is miles better than anything else on the market.

The friction is both what we experienced as part of adoption and in my personal experience. Actual personal experiences may vary, of course.
That's odd because in my circle it is generally recognized that C++ idioms are more efficient than C. Sometimes dramatically so. The canonical example of course is std::sort vs. qsort, where C++ wins big. But also anywhere dynamic allocation is called for, the efficiency gains of new/delete over malloc/free are going to become apparent.
Employers are still used to an employer's market, where they could string desperate applicants along, then hit them with, "This is the salary, take it or leave it." They're slow to adjust to today's job market.
you'd still end up either losing precision or using a truncated (cycling) part when you wanted to use it in a float calculation. it's effectively the same.
You have a veery one sided perspective. Someone adopting/learning a language will be met with plenty of positivity and encouragement. The toxicity comes in to play once you post something critical of the language, even if it has merit.
Well, I don't know about the cat command (though that _is_ appropriate for something like the Redox OS, which aspires to be a pure-Rust desktop operating system).

But there is a broad-based desire to rewrite libraries in Rust for a couple (IMHO valid) reasons. One is the API. While it is possible to have a nice and idiomatic Rust API to a C library, it will often be nicer to use when it is designed from the ground-up in Rust. Traits, interfaces, etc.

It is also often desirable to avoid C when cross-compiling (such as for embedded systems), as that is generally a hassle to set up and get working seamlessly.
Sorry, this is the day when I decided to start downvoting people who demand E2E-encryption from things that obviously don't need it.

At this point I am just fed up, but to be constructive:

- E2E-encryption is a seriously nice property. If it was free and simple we should use it everywhere.

- Picking on nice things that absolutely doesn't need E2E-encryption however is just counterproductive, and most people who do so (I haven't studied you in particular) seems to have no clue about when and why it is useful.

-Let me give some ideas: there seems to be lots of people who claim to need E2E-encryption but cannot take basic security precautions like separating work/personal, avoid linking their social media profile etc in their profile, etc etc etc.

- Basically: if someone isn't wearing a cap, using tails, paying in cash, updating ones notes via a directed antenna connected to a distant open network

- and if they haven't considered the pros and cons of connecting to the same network every time (what if "they" are onto one and are right now using a directional antenna to pinpoint ones direction) vs different ones (reduces that risk but simplifies triangulation)

- and haven't considered their cover story for why they were out biking without a phone but with a laptop and a directional antenna, or considered cash (less traceable) or card (don't stand out)

- ... then there is a fair chance they don't actually need E2E-encryption

- and if they share the stuff they are hoarding, the chance is even bigger.

- That said: again, E2E-encryption is a seriously nice property that simplifies a number of other problems. I'll pay premium for it even if I don't need it. But I don't need it for diary, not even for notes about customer systems.

And as I write this I can almost hear glass shattering all around me. I'm logged in through corporate WiFi and I don't care ;-)

Edit: let me also add that 1.) most people have now clue about how to verify E2E-encryption 2.) for web applications it can trivially be circumvented by anyone who can single handedly push code to prod and you won't know before much later 3.) it can be done selectively against one user and on most users it will leave no trace at all (a patched minified script with no caching that sends encryption keys back isn't hard at all, is it?)

Alternatively, if you do it’s in the best interest of your open source software that you don’t get caught.
Looks neat, but wasn't this the promise of Presto? Presto didn't seem to really work out. From what I've seen it converged to a mostly analytical engine. It's still very useful, but I've never seen it used (successfully) in an OLTP workload. Maybe there's some difference in the intended product trajectory that I'm overlooking here?
Is it rented or is it just pay-to-permanently-unlock.

Paying to permanently unlock a feature might not be so bad. And forcing extensions to justify their price might not be the worst thing. And this might let them get the "nobody is paying for avx-512" signal a little faster than spinning up a billion slightly different SKUs.
For contractors the rate is already negotiated up front IME. Either the recruiter will mention the offered rate along with the role details, or you as a contractor will mention what your rate is.
Yup. Why do you think there is such hostility to them?
