> It is amazing how many large-scale applications run on a single or a few large RDBMS. It seems like a bad idea at first: surely a single point of failure must be bad for availability and scalability?

I'm pretty sure that was the whole idea of RDBMS, to separate application from data. You badly lose the very moment when some of your data is in a different place -- on transactions, query planning, security, etc. -- so Codd thought "what if even different applications could use a single company-wide database?" Hence the "have everything in a single database" part should be the last compromise you're forced to make, not the first one.

Does anyone know why Rust is one of the "de facto" host languages for WebAssembly?

Is it because Rust naturally leant itself to machine code, therefore it was easier to build a compiler?

Is it because the Rust community wants to create more "killer features" for the language and have it stand out?

Are there benefits to using Rust versus TypeScript as the host language?
People who believe shadow stats don't know how exponential functions work. If you add 3% on top of an exponential function that new function will diverge exponentially from the original.

The evidence for shadow stats should be going up every year but we haven't seen that at all.
I don't think words need to be gender neutral. Grammatical and biological gender are not really the same. I think this urge to clean languages is a bit detached.

> it's very tiring to continually hear my existence referred to as a "culture war fight." you're not wrong, so I haven't downvoted you, it's just.. depressing.

I'm sorry you feel that way and that it depresses you.

> I pass very well, everyone knows me as a woman and most don't know I'm trans.

Well, that's the point, isn't it? The "culture war" isn't as straightforward as all the parties involved would like us to believe it is.

My personal method of detection for calling someone 'he' or 'she' is whether they look more like a man or more like a woman. Even if I later learn that the person is a man and not a woman (or vice versa) I'm still going to call the man-looking person 'he' and the woman-looking person 'she'.

And this is where the problem starts - it really doesn't take much for the average female to look masculine or for the average male to look feminine (at least enough to pass as the other gender). When I address someone as a man and in response get a tantrum for being transphobic it makes me wonder why a man who identifies as a woman still wants to present as a man (and vice-versa, of course).

When someone with a neatly trimmed and cultured beard insists that you call him 'her', they're more interested in stirring up controversy than in what they self-identify as.

So, yeah, there is a Culture War of sorts, but it's between the people who want to push other people's buttons and the people who don't think that other people should be able to dress, talk, act and call themselves whatever they wish to.

You presumably aren't in either camp, so good on you.

> I keep a quiet life in a progressive area, so I'm mostly unaffected by the culture war. but realizing the fight is about me, even though I'm not a fighter.

I do have a serious question though - we know that your gender is unimportant for most things. Some things (like the gender tickbox on hospital admittance forms) you'll need to reveal your biological sex.

What about prisons? If a transperson is convicted of a major crime and is sentenced to prison, do they go to the prison that matches their self-identified gender, or to the prison that matches their biological sex?
Am I misreading your link? I see temperatures listed "only" up to 2,000 K; but the successful NTR tests went up over 2,500 K. (Excluding the failed ones that melted, of course).

- "The average exit gas temperature was 2,550 K (2,280 °C), the highest ever recorded by Project Rover. The chamber temperature was 2,750 K (2,480 °C), another record."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Rover

There's also one notable difference: internal combustion turbines see their highest temperatures in the gas phase, which is somewhat insulated from the turbine blades (by weird fluid dynamic effects I don't understand). No solid material needs to withstand the peak temperature.

When I'm sitting alone, thinking, I live in the privacy of my own thoughts. Sometimes I have half formed thoughts that others might not agree with. This is important - you can't have good ideas unless you also have bad ideas, after all.

Sometimes I journal. The piece of paper becomes an extension of my mind. There's a sanctity of that space. It is deeply private, and free because ... well, because thats the point of journaling. Sometimes you have to say the idea wrong to figure out how to say the idea right.

And by "piece of paper", I mean, I type into my computer.

Into this context, google wants to insert itself with woke political opinions on my writing? Or suggestions on how I'm not using an "active voice" enough? No. That comes across like an out of touch, entitled 20 year old in another country is reading over my shoulder while I'm journaling in order to make asinine, inappropriate suggestions about my writing. Or so it can judge my politics. All this, in the sanctity of my own mental palace.

Would you take political advice from a google docs AI? Would you take its advice on what the word 'landlord' really means, in the context of your own community, in another country? I wouldn't. If you want to convince me of your politics, take a stand and make your argument boldly. I need to be able to hear what you say as an argument then feel free to disagree with you. Don't dress up a political campaign as writing advice.

It makes me angry because it feels manipulative. Like you're trying to trick me into replacing my words with your words, in order to advance your political agenda. All administered via an AI that I conveniently can't debate. I'm angry because I don't want to have to be on guard against political manipulation simply in order to have my own thoughts, in the privacy of my own mind - or the extension of my mind called a computer. If I mostly agree with the political stand its almost worse - because I won't notice the manipulation as easily.

I also can't help but wonder what would happen if that stupid, entitled AI gets uppity and disagrees with any of my politics. If Google already has an AI thats reading and judging the political content of what I write, where does that end? Will there be consequences down the road for me if I say the wrong thing in my own journal? Probably not. But I'm not absolutely certain. Maybe I should self censor my own thoughts preemptively just in case? In my own journal?

No. F off. I'd much rather burn google docs out of my life than worry about any of that. Which is a pity, because its otherwise a good product.

What google is failing to understand here is that my computer needs to be an agent of my will. Not an agent of google's. Violating that principle is a betrayal.
It's still a proper noun. It's dicier when you capitalize "lord" or "his."
I think voting with your feet only works in theory, because Amazon is well known to engage in abusive employment practices (including according to workers) and yet has a great number of warehouse and delivery staff and its founder is the second (?) richest man on earth. Many low paying jobs have high turnover rates because they can just use people up until they quit (if they even have that option) and then bring in an unemployed person. They have to incentive to treat their employees with decency.
I prefer to call it DIE. It was always Diversity & Inclusion and now also Equity I guess. Equity is also a shareholders stake, so I am not really sure what is meant here, but it overwhelmingly seems to be this meaning as they are often those that push for such measures.

Worth pointing out that SSR scales better for huge surface area applications on very low resource endpoints like Citrix etc. Consider LOB enterprise applications. I’ve worked on ones with 700+ logical endpoints. A few chrome or edge tabs open on a few meg of JS and the client will bite the dust hard.

The trouble is that the third-parties have all sorts of aspirations to make a lot more money by 1. doing half-effort "remasters" of their works into some kind of "Collection", that 2. they can then charge full "new small game" price (~$15) for.

The fact that these third-party publishers are doing this despite adding basically no value (and often stripping away value, by e.g. not supporting rewind / save-states in their own emulation) is bad enough. But often they don't even actually do this; they just vaguely think about doing this, and the imagined potential upside of the option of doing this, keeps them from going with Nintendo's option.
There are libraries in most languages to output sixel graphics, however libsixel (https://saitoha.github.io/libsixel/) is a popular one written in C. There are some interesting use-cases shown on that page. These will abstract away the escape sequences and allow you to pass them a raw bitmap.

I would find it extremely odd if every tech VCs did't hire at least one extremely seasoned engineer with experience building soup-to-nuts infrastructures and products, particularly for successful startups that scaled successfully. It's not that I think VCs should be building shit like that, but before each round of funding they should be able to figure out if the startup is doing things in a scalable way. And part of being a VC is helping their investments grow.

A lot of European countries have significant African populations (incl. Spain, Italy and France). It does not seem to lead to any economic Wunder. If I meet a black guy there, they are usually trying to sell me or my wife a fake handbag.

Gone are the times when what was needed was raw work force = muscles. One of the reasons why we have fewer kids is that schooling and training for modern job now takes so long that it envelopes a lot of the most fertile years. And one of the reasons why Africa has as many kids as Europeans used to have in the 19th century is because a lot of African youth does not have access to higher education.

But that means that they won't be having good jobs in modern society.
Can TypeScript be compiled to WebAssembly? My understanding was that it couldn’t be, although a related language AssemblyScript could be.
Yep highly encourage to take a breath, at some regular cadence and contemplate on all possible paths. I don't know how to be effective at this though. You need some notion of feature management to accomplish this.

I am looking to build a similar tool for engineers who are switching jobs and have multiple job offers. Essentially a financial projection of options 1, 2 and 3 taking into account inflation, location and salary growth.

Happy to brainstorm and collaborate if you are up for it.

my personal worry, could be unjustified, but SSR seems to be much less secure compared to plain old client side stuff. sure, static client side is less seo friendly but...not going to compromise your servers! considering the fast moving and relatively patchy security of npm ecosystem...things like prototype pollution vulns are alerted almost weekly if not daily and you are lucky if a fix exists that you can upgrade to!
Yes. I have expressed the daily intake as salt, not as sodium, because this is the more useful quantity to know, as this is what you can measure when cooking.

When you eat home-made food, there is some small quantity of sodium in meat and other animal-based food, but most of the sodium comes from the salt you add to food, which you should measure.

The sodium recommended intake is useful only when reading the labels of industrially-processed food, to see how much you could eat daily. However, if such food makes the bulk of what you eat, then there is not much point in reading the labels, as it is unlikely that you can achieve the recommended intake.
Depends on the country.

Australia for example has a high amount of gas usage for cooking.
Sorry, I’m not seeing how this overengineered solution adds any benefit…?

If it’s a mostly static site, just use Django or Rails and be done with it. SEO becomes a non-issue and your code stays in a single (server-side) language.
Ask HN: How do you deal with remote people working multiple full-time jobs?
Hey folks,

I'm working in a small company located in Europe, which has a business model that extends existing development teams of other companies with a minor number of local developers and a much higher number of remote developers (different contintent). Pre-Covid-era we noticed twice that remote developers tend to work full-time in two (or even more) jobs, which was affecting the work done together with us quite a lot.

Now with the pandemic bringing remote working to a much broader acceptance rate it seems that the issue of multiple jobs is rising. Recently I've read an article about 37% of remote people in U.S. are working two full-time jobs. From our experience the number also rose quite a lot in our remote developer employee market - generally spoken. We don't have exact numbers for our employees yet.

And this leads me to my question(s): How do you deal with such a situation?

First of all, I'd like to figure out how we can identify someone working more than we are aware of. Generally it would be fine for me (/us) what people do in their non-work time, but if it affects our work, then it's not acceptable. So how can we identify such a situation?

Secondly if one has figured out that someone is working additionally at other jobs, how should one handle that? From a contract perspective, we would (/could) need to fire that someone the next day, but from a business model and general work perspective we can't easily compensate if someone leaves from one day to another.

I'm looking forward to your experiences and ideas.
In the last few years, Google translate has dramatically improved for many languages. This has allowed me to explore other written languages more quickly. I can just copy a phrase into Google translate and get a sense of the meaning. It is also interesting to see how different languages phrase things or the terms they use.

Looks like apples to oranges - ClickHouse was creating new table while PostgreSQL was expanding and updating existing table which is naturally slower, and it was done 3 times instead of updating all 3 columns in the same operation. It is about the worst possible way to do it. For equal comparison the PostgreSQL test should have been running creation of new table too - ie. the same "create table as (select *, 3 enrichment columns from open_cell_towers)"

Honest question: it's clear to me that the term SSR has been repurposed to mean this complex "generate html reusing ~same code on backend/frontend and then hydrate it" thing. What do we call the classic style where the server just renders html using a template language?
My old housemate use to complain when I switched from watching a movie on free-to-air tv, to a streaming service.

I don’t know but I would guess it’s because of the relationship between Rust and Mozilla.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26067118

There are probably specific advantages to Rust, but it’s also just nice to work in a language you like. I can compile Go to WebAssembly so I’m not going to write TypeScript. Your preferences may differ.
Do you realize that neither points justify SSR? You only need those because you introduced SSR.

Anyway, there are webapps that fall between the highly interactive webapp examples of the GP, and static sites. With just enough interactivity that static + sprinkled JS becomes unmanageable. In that area I would really like to see a comparison between SSR (which everybody seems to jump on) and alternatives like... knockout.js? I don't know what's a modern alternative.
> Our intention with this initiative is to takedown plagiarized code snippets or solutions to company assessments.

How can this be legal? Plagiarized is moreover a very conveniently vague word.

By this very vague definition the overwhelming majority of your own content has been seen on various parts of the internet way before you ever started your business.

There can't be a copyright on such a thing and I hope someone fights you in court, this is nothing short of bullying.
For starters, not everybody in a coop has to earn the same amount or get the same payouut from a sale. They just all need voting rights. The point of cooperatives is to be owned by all their members, not just the founders.

Second, yes the profit in the marketplace is still exploitative to a degree, but we don't have a viable alternative so there's not much to do about that. I don't believe there's much point critiquing something when there's no alternative.
If you look at it from a societal perspective SSR is better, it is easier to place servers closer to a clean energy source rather than every client.

Google could de-index you for arbitrary reasons too. The key is you didn’t loose your content itself as many YouTube channels had found the hard way, and YouTube doesn’t use actual DMCA to circumvent liability clauses .

If you are running a business using your content, then google deindexing can be bad, as can many other U.S. laws and other conventions, like how they how banks generally treat adult businesses even though they are legal or weed companies etc .

For non professionals , google or any other third party actions shouldn’t have any impact on be able to create and share their content.
