I'm currently thinking about the multi table search problem and lean towards updating the index table in the ORM (save method of the corresponding Django models in this case). Postgres doesn't seem to support incremental updates of materialized views yet, and always recomputing the whole table just because some few rows changed seems very much overkill to me. That it integrates better into the rest of the app and makes configuring the indexed columns easier is just a bonus.

Not that Postgres probably wouldn't handle the full table refresh effortlessly as it generally does - at least at my scale. But that feels kind of icky to me and I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a better solution for this yet - everyone building a search function for their site must run into this and I'd expect it to scale terribly at dimensions startups generally aim at.
I mean, it's true if you reinterpret "selfish" as "individualist". At the end of the day its "prioritize concerns of the individual at the expense of society" versus "prioritize concerns of society at the expense of individuals".

Show HN: Supernotes 2 – a fast, Markdown notes app for journalling and sharing
Hi HN – we first launched Supernotes[1] to HN in April 2020, and since then Tobias and I (it's just the two of us) have put in the work to make what we hope is an amazing note-taking app. Although the note-taking / personal knowledge management landscape is incredibly competitive at the moment (with lots of great apps adding great new features every day), we think that with the newly released Supernotes 2 we're keeping pace and delivering a unique and satisfying knowledge management experience.

Here's the combination of features that make us stand out:

- a powerful markdown-based notecard system that is simple/beautiful but also super flexible

- a WYSIWYM[2] editor that keeps markdown marks for explicitness while still giving you a preview of what the content looks like when rendered

- eschewing a folder system in favor of multi-parent nested hierarchies

- unique collaboration system that is optimized for granular sharing between individuals rather than "all-in" sharing amongst teams or specific groups

- notes that can be linked both with inline bidirectional links or the aforementioned hierarchies, allowing you to build (and experience with our 2D and 3D graph views) a robust graph of your knowledge

There are of course tons of other cool features that are included as well, but those are the highlights. If any of that sounds interesting to you, you can sign up here[3] – we would love to hear any feedback you might have!

First, I am sorry that you went through that.

Near death experiences do not happen to everyone who dies and is resuscitated. Supposedly, according to Wikipedia [1], it only happens to 10-20% of people. If someone is critically ill, it happens to 17% of those people.

But, it does happen to some people who go in to cardiac arrest.

The thought has not occurred to me even once. It is purely a matter of convenience.
I'll save you from having to suffer the relentless barrage of popups and modal overlays, which Bloomberg seem to think constitutes acceptable web design:

Scientists may be closer to answering an age-old question about what happens to the human brain as we die.

Neuroscientists accidentally recorded a dying brain while they were using electroencephalography (EEG) to detect and treat seizures in an 87-year-old man and the patient suffered a heart attack.

It was the first time ever that scientists had recorded the activity of a dying human brain.

The rhythmic brain wave patterns which were recorded during the man's time of death were observed to be similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall and meditation.

The unexpected event allowed scientists to conduct a study into what they recorded—the findings from which have just been published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.

According to the study's organiser, Dr Ajmal Zemmar, a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville, its findings suggest that our brains may remain active and coordinated during and even after the transition to death.

Furthermore, the specific type of brain waves which were recorded in the dying brain—called neural oscillations—suggest the person was seeing their lives flash before their eyes through "memory retrieval".

"We measured 900 seconds of brain activity around the time of death and set a specific focus to investigate what happened in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stopped beating," Dr Zemmar told Frontiers Science News.

"Just before and after the heart stopped working, we saw changes in a specific band of neural oscillations, so-called gamma oscillations, but also in others such as delta, theta, alpha, and beta oscillations.

"Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences.

"These findings challenge our understanding of when exactly life ends and generate important subsequent questions, such as those related to the timing of organ donation."

While the first-of-its-kind study is based on a single case that additionally involved a patient who was suffering from epilepsy and swelling, Dr Zemmar said he hopes to investigate more cases.

He added that the results gave neuroscientists hope to better understanding the "life recall" phenomenon which is often reported by those who have had near-death experiences.
Anki data basically needs wrapper libraries with a humane API, even when working with low-level structures (i.e. without the app itself running). Just to avoid traumatizing external developers.

If everyone is using such libraries, the structure itself can be changed.

For shorter-duration service, in a limited area, without problematic wind/weather patterns, and without high-latitude winters (long nights) - yes, drones are superior to satellites. But scaled up...you'd need a load of air bases (drone launch/landing/maintenance locations), good relations with the aviation authorities in lots of countries, and 24/7 interactions with the air traffic control organizations in every country you have drones flying over...even if those are merely in transit. And mobile & legal teams to deal with crashed drones (if only due to local regulations). And...

Vs. putting Starlink in space avoids most of those problems. And all possible competitors have launch costs vastly higher than SpaceX offers - providing what Wall Street investment folks see as a very wide, deep moat, to discourage competition.
Detecting gravitational waves requires extreme precision. Pastries are in the ordinary precision range. :)

Joking aside I suspect if you are good enough where the limiting factor in your baking is the precision of butter specified as opposed to sloppy techniques you are better off using a recipe written by a professional pastry chef for other proficient bakers. In my experience they usually write quantities in terms of weight and recommend measuring it that way.

For example Claire Saffitz calls in her Confetti Cake recipe for "3 sticks unsalted butter (12 oz / 340g), at room temperature". That would indicate that the 100g approximation is 13% low.

Absolutely. If you (nginx) know how your product should be configured, you should configure it that way out of the box. Don’t blame users.

And if backward compatibility is important, take a leaf out of Rust’s book and make a nginx-config-version 2; directive or something.

From the article:

> If you use an embedded type like PostgreSQL UUID everywhere, then this is not an issue for you.

So only applies where your language/system doesn’t support strong types.
Wish this article had been written a year ago when when I added Anki import to my learning app (https://traverse.link/)!

Especially importing media files and de-renaming them was a pain, as well as handling the different types of cloze deletes (some of this is described quite well in anki's docs, for example here https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/templates/generation)

I thought you were talking about all beliefs, but it sounds like you are talking about a subset. Everything you said makes sense.
The opposite may be the case in the long-term. Cryptocurrency ownership may shift global power and non-participation could be harmful to the state, in the same way participation in the global economy may weaken the national economy, but strengthens it from the perspective of the neoliberal order.
> Nothing benefits from being at the "end of the program".

It's not about the benefit, that's just the easiest way to implement it - put it in a different TEXT section and let the linker move it.

Although, there is a popular desktop ARM CPU with 16KB pages.

> Machines do still charge an extra cycle for branches taken vs. not, so it matters whether you expect to take it.

Current generation CPUs can issue one taken branch or 2 not-taken branches in ~1 cycle (although strangely Zen2 couldn't), but yes it is better to be not taken iff not mispredicted. (https://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf)

> Negligibly few things never return; most of those abort. Performance of those absolutely does not matter.

Throwing an exception isn't a return, nor longjmp/green threads/whatever. Sometimes they're called abnormal or non-local returns, but according to your C++ compiler your throwing function can be `noreturn`.

Error path performance is important since there are situations like network I/O where errors aren't at all unexpected. If you're writing a program you can just special case your hotter error paths, but if you're designing the language/OS/CPU under it then you have to make harder decisions.

> Why should anyone care about predicting the catch block a throw will land in after all the right destructor calls have finished? We have already established that throwing costs multiple L3 cache misses, if not actual page faults.

More prediction is always better. The earlier you can issue a cache miss the earlier you get it back.

For instance, that popular desktop ARM CPU can issue 600+ instructions at once (according to Anandtech). That's a lot of unnecessary stalls if you mispredict.

And so its vendor has their own language, presumably compatible with it, which doesn't support exceptions.
Definitely not ... I am a SWE in a big company and working on ML projects for the past 4 years. We have a data scientist team which does the data exploration and comes up with a model. Their output would be a jupyter notebook.

Then we have a team of "Applied ML practitioners", which I am a part of, we productionize the jupyter notebook, by setting up pipelines, services etc. We understand ML algos, stats, probability etc, but not as much as our data scientist team does.

Having both in the same person would be good, but is not necessary.
But they’re still not on the latest version…
For simpler tasks on the Anki database, the Python `anki` module[0] provides a level of abstraction that can be helpful without resorting directly to SQLite queries against the db, but just a little. The main problem with the Python module is the insistence on 1:1 correspondence between the module version and the Anki (db) version.

I am objecting to the politics, not the practice.
As someone not from the US, a "stick" sounds as precise a quantity as a "handful", a "dollop", a "pinch", a "dash", a "splash", or a "spoonful".

An obvious analogy for the lack of precision of "stick of butter" outside of US culture is my culture's "block of butter" - typically, a block of butter in my country is 500g. But not always.

So how do you know how much butter I intended you to use if I say "add half a block of butter" in my biscuit recipe?

How big is a block of butter where you live? Do they even sell it by the block? Or is it just sticks? Rough mental calculation, there's about 4 and nearly a half sticks to the block.

I guess there's a reason humans developed and use units of measurement.

Anecdote time! When I was young I tried to follow a recipe off the Internet that specified a stick of butter. So I diligently cut a long skinny bit of butter from my block of butter, a little confused as to what difference the shape made. The biscuits were rather awful.
I argue that they strengthen the "state apparatus".

Through competing with the national currency, cryptos force it to innovate and become faster, more resilient, more inclusive, and less prone to inflation.

The fact that more and more capital is directed towards them is a symptom of the fact the national currencies have shortcomings.
To be fair, if you don't live in the US, how would you know that a stick is a standardized measure?

I'm American. I lived in the US until around 8.5 years ago and I moved to Norway. I've had to look up conversions many times so that I could cook comfort food.

Other folks have answered the regulated measure stuff, but FWIW: Every butter maker sold sticks where I was from (Indiana) and all the sticks were the same size. Margarine brands did the same so long as they weren't sold in tubs.
It's a research paper that definitively needs an ELI25. My attempt (that perhaps is wrong):

Pretty inevitable, though; there are some letter groups in english that make that unavoidable.

I use this (the second table).

https://www3.nd.edu/~busiforc/handouts/cryptography/letterfr...

I memorised STARE/TASER, UNLID, CHOMP (all the letters with more than 3% incidence, in a word order with a good letter distribution close enough to the statistical one, and some useful letter groups) and the remaining significant ones(GBFYWKV) and work with that.

If I get a green from the first word I assemble a new word from the letters of the other two; this strategy has seen me guess it in two or three a bit more often.

This may be obvious but in your scenario where there are lots of permutations, it's worth considering that you can solve words two ways -- first by thinking of a word that fits the shape available, and second by carefully thinking of the words with the highest frequency unused letters in all available slots (if there are two or three remaining letters, a guess that is likely to provide you two yellows is vastly better than a guess that will provide you one green).

If you use a three word opening gambit (which you can't do in 'hard' mode) then you'll regularly guess it in four or five, anyway. I strongly suspect that four is the most common number of guesses for good players.
My experience is over 10 years old, and mostly concerning Cambridge and Oxford, plus visits to London. Things may have changed.

I found Berlin to be an excellent biking city.

At one event I went to in Oxford, one of the locals had recently been killed while biking by a driver.

I may have misremembered the story. They were Finns, describing unexpected parts of their life in Cambridge. It might have been that they were surprised there were so many gender segregated schools.
Anger is an emotion, it's a signal that your boundaries are violated and you need to assert your needs. It's not the same as violence.

> Protest is fine when you don't break the law.

Protests mostly happen when the law sucks. My country also only allows permitted protest, but it also is a shitty country regarding civil rights. Trump would call it a shithole country and some would be offended by that. He is technically correct though.
To be fair, lots of folks here in Norway use volume measurements for things like flour, but instead of cups, folks use deciliters. For volume measurements, I find cups to be more convenient because it is easier to get a "level" measurement (though I finally found a scoop with 1dl). I always have to look up how many grams a stick of butter is, by the way - 113.4 grams is the answer.

Realistically, I wind up with 3 sets of measures: I have a scale, American cups, and a large 'norwegian' measuring cup.

Well, the infrared heating warms the air which warms the room if you want to be pedantic.

Unless you're losing heat through the floor I doubt that temperature difference between the floor and ceiling is accurate with a radiator system, perhaps if you measure it 30 minutes after you turn on the heat, but throughout the day the temperature should be mostly consistent throughout the room unless you're losing heat through the floor.

Most cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin and Ethereum) do not solve this issue, governments could order businesses (or payment systems used by businesses) not to accept payment coming from some blacklisted addresses, even indirectly; and this is possible thanks to the public ledger.

And they could outlaw any cryptocurrency that does provide anonymity for senders (Monero, GNU Taler, ...). While easy to bypass for individuals, legitimate businesses would not.
Governments might even ban cash one day.

This is a social and political problem, technology won't solve it.
