I remember watching some video and looking at dislikes: why is this downvoted this much? Pretty run of the mill video with nothing outrageous or even particularly controversial. Oh it got posted _there_...

Still, I don't think this is the reason. Visible votes simply modify what other people vote on and youtube wanted full control over what users watch instead of the few who actually votes. It is simply not a good metric most likely. Was it improved by removing the dislike bar? I would be surprised if was...
Supabase developer here. "Wrapper" is an oversimplification, but essentially, we provide additional value to the existing OSS offerings (i.e. PostgreSQL, GoTrue, Kong, Postgrest) by adding libraries and server configurations that tie everything together and make it much easier to develop an application. That being said, you're free to self-host Supabase and get all this value (and continued value and support) for free. We only "monetize" it by offering a hosted version as an option for people who would rather not spend time managing servers and other infrastructure.

In addition, the value we add to these existing tools is turned back to the community and can be used however people see fit.

> why companies like Stripe re-entered again after dropping Bitcoin and using another cryptocurrency?

Same reason all the above companies got into Beanie Babies: To make money.

Stripe is happily selling pickaxes to gold miners, as they say. They are more than happy to collect their "useless" fiat USD, and play along. I think it's ethically dubious, but... that's another story. It's certainly profitable.
This is a natural way of approaching this problem. I ended up implementing this without knowing what it was because it was an intuitive solution. The job at hand was expression parser with user defined operators.
I’m using 13 old iPod for one simple reason - its very handy for music and podcasts. Just set the play list “didn’t listen for N weeks” and music is automatically synced, listened podcasts are removed and new are uploaded, etc.
Yup. These calipers that measure to .0005 of an inch only show hundredths of a mm (10 microns).

As for language, "thou", short for thousandths of an inch, is kind of the base unit in imperial machining. That's why the next one down is "tenth" in the vernacular. It's very confusing because 100 thou is one tenth of an inch, but you'd never call it a "tenth" even if "inch" is implicitly the base unit. Also confusing is that there are SI prefixes for all of these things, but they aren't in use. (Why not "milliinch"?)

Finally, one more advantage of the metric system; to measure 1 micrometer, you need a tool called a micrometer. That's easy to remember!
https://deno.land/install.sh is a redirect to https://deno.land/x/install.sh, which is treated as any /x/ (community) module. These modules are immutable clones of github tags (in this case, https://github.com/denoland/deno_install/). If someone would manage to breach the AWS S3 buckets that we use for module storage, it wouldn't be just a problem for installation of the deno CLI, but a problem for any module on the registry.
> It is reassuring you that doing nothing is the correct course

That was definitely not my take. It is reassuring me that things will be ok, and that definitely doesn’t mean I should be doing nothing. Quite the opposite actually - I should vote, organize and protest - do things that are in my control. It is moot to worry about things that may happen in the future, which is what doomerism tends to be.
For all intents and purposes, you’ve mutated the memory. Sure, you haven’t mutated by reaching directly to the RAM. But the effect is still the same.
* 2012 MacBook Air running macOS Big Sur. Used for general purpose web & document editing stuff these days.

* ~2011 Acer C710 ChromeBook running Ubuntu 21.10. Used for trying distros and development projects if I need a Linux base.

* Self-built Desktop PC - Core 2 Quad w/ 8GB RAM running Windows 11, somehow. Used mostly as an archive box due to the large HD and connection to an external backup drive.

And my wife has some Dell laptop she bought in college. I don’t know much about it because I haven’t had to do much to it besides put in an SSD.
Frequency is irrelevant to the complexity. As I said, you have to handle the idea of cross-boundary failures, such as with modules that have bugs.

If you aren't taking steps to do so, you're not writing robust code.

Anyway, yes, persistent network failures are rare for many people.
Especially if you're a product-focused startup, the last thing you may actually need is an enthusiast for a language. 90% of the time you want people that just want to use the right tool for the job.
I see what you are saying. Glad we agree. That attitude sets people who could make common cause at each other's throats instead.
I wish something similar to Autohotkey was available for mac. Karabiner comes cloes, but it's not quite the same thing.
I don’t know that I’d go so far the other way to infer the market is _fair_ to retail traders, but the 140% short number is not itself evidence of impropriety. All it requires a lot of longs allowing their shares to be lent (check) and a lot of shorts with appetite, conviction, and deep pockets (check).
There is a difference between Amazon and Supabase:

- Supabase open source's their backend service product which uses Postgres. Anyone could technically fork their project and self-host.

- Amazon has a closed source backend service product which uses <open-source-database>.
“Lower-priced”? Haha, nope. Anything with ads should be free. The idea of paying—and still being harassed with garbage—is so sociopathically stupid that only a marketer would imagine anyone falling for it. I hope they fail.

And it goes without saying that if ads start showing up in my current plan, I’d drop Netflix that very day.

My overall sense is that people are approaching a breaking point with ads, subs, and overly extractive monetization schemes. I expect more of an attrition situation than an inflection point, but the results—piracy, aggressive ad-blocking, and simply spending less on greedily priced apps and services—will not be pleasant for the marketing and media industries.
Not anymore. At launch the road networks was from TomTom, but for years now they have been in the process of completely redoing it from scratch themselves. From a quick Google search it looks the new data rolled out to Germany a couple of months ago.

This drives me crazy. If your software is using a library that library is part of your software whether you originated its code or not. If you are responsible for the software then you're responsible for the LOC in every library your software depends on.

So if something happens 50% of the time you should treat it in the same as if it happens one in 100 billion?
Perhaps the reason it feels like discrimination is because those privileges are eroding?

It feels like discrimination because it is discrimination.

Thanks burggraf.

Hope my question didn't come off the wrong way, and really appreciate your reply.

Another question, so does Supabase open source 100% of the added features/functionality? Or are some features/functionality gated behind a paid license?
Battery life? Usability? Renaissance?? Have I been trying the wrong DAPs?

I'm also really into single-purpose electronics. My whole library is FLAC, so these players should be right up my alley. Except they tend to be heavy and expensive, and when it comes to UI, either they're using Android poorly, with incredibly bad battery life (HiBy R5/R6, Fiio M9, A&K anything), or they're using a custom UI with pre-iPod UX sensibilities. And even when they use Android, they try to graft their own UI onto it, so that in the end you have the worst of both worlds -- just watch what happens to the volume settings on any Android-based HiBy DAP after connecting with Bluetooth.

The communities that buy this stuff are much more into the technical and theoretical sound quality than how it actually comes together as a product. The marketing reflects that; the product pages are all litanies of incremental DAC processor upgrades, circuit diagrams, and cryptic audio codecs. And because this is what folks care about, it's hard to find reviewers who even mention into UX.

If you have a rec I'm all ears, because I'm on the verge of resuscitating my original Pixel just for this.

That makes sense. It just shows how much variation there is across different areas.
How is that any different to calling a function on a class? That's technically not class A modifying class B's memory either. B modifies it's own memory in response to a message (function parameters) from A. The message going over a network doesn't make that fundamentally different.
> the stupid person is the most dangerous person that exists

But everybody is relatively stupid compared against others, if multiple dimensions of intelligence are measured.

Or use an absolute scale, and I think we can round everybody’s intelligence down to zero. Humans are surely not that smart - certainly in my experience.
That's interesting. Is there any particular field you would like to pursue?
It enables you to actually switch between windows, not between applications. If you have 3 windows of Chrome open, on Mac if you alt-tab to it it raises all 3 windows to the top of the desktop window stack, hiding any other windows which may overlap with one of these Chrome windows. This is very inconvenient if you want to be able to still see another window, say, TextEdit, you have open but it becomes hidden by Chrome window 2 you don't care about that got raised to the cover the TextEdit window merely because you switched to Chrome window 1. Switching directly to one single window is very clunky on MacOS by default.
The bells studied in the PhD thesis are primarily used for English Change Ringing, which started in the early 1600s and the compositions played on them (methods) are based on mathematics, specifically Group Theory, rather than being tunes in the normal sense - the aim is to ring all the possible permutations of the bells.

Performances (Peals) consist of 5040 changes (sequences), have a strict set of rules and take around 3 hours 15 minutes to complete, and must be rung entirely from memory, with no written aids.

In the early 1960s a CS algorithm for efficiently enumerating permutations was published, the Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm. It's in Knuth, for those who have access to a copy. Unfortunately for them, it had been known by English Change Ringers as Plain Changes, since around 1621.
And there you have it...$60 per commit means slowing down your commit velocity! Which means its longer before changes get tested or reviewed or deployed.

The cost (money and more importantly time) of running tests fundamentally changes the development process.
Hey Lee – imagine that I've got a database I need to initialize on startup / teardown on shutdown. Where can I do this? It's inherently an async concept. There are no hooks.

The docs for Custom Servers [0] begin with a bunch of language and warnings strongly encouraging you to forego this route. The consequence? I don't know – it feels like it's not maintained, and maybe won't be there between major versions.

Sure. And that's reasonable. The US will do that.

I just think it goes against the original promises, and national sovereignty is being widdled away by larger governing bodies like the EU.

Okay, the legislation being suggested to monitor communications isn't totalitarian?

"Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Churchill

There's a reason this quote gets echoed so frequently. Picking special electors to drive the government in a more informed manner is a dangerous path which includes a lot of danger around how to pick those electors.

It might be nice if there was a way to fairly filter out the politically illiterate but then again even the best system is likely just going to result in systemic discrimination against the disenfranchised class... and I think it's pretty damn likely that the filter would be quickly manipulated to shape the voting block in some partisan direction beyond just political literacy.

This falls into the category of a bill proposal, or maybe not even that, since it seems to be just a paragraph announcing a forthcoming proposal?

For a substantive HN thread, it's probably better to wait until there's something actual to discuss. For better and/or worse, proposed bills usually don't come to much (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
I'm not following you at all. From the text of the request, the petitioners want to know: "Number of inmates that have been transferred from a men’s facility to a women’s facility since January 01, 2021" This is almost identical to what I wrote.

I would appreciate it if you would explain to me and others what part of my argument you disagree with rather than simply saying "incredibly bad-faith" "transphobic" "you are trolling" "beyond bad faith" without any explanation of what you think I did wrong or would prefer I do differently.

For what it's worth, I think you are acting in bad faith by calling me names and speculating unkindly about my motives without actually explaining what assertion or argument you object to and why. What you're doing is just bullying.
That was the point of Ira Glasser's stance. Him and other ACLU members defended the right of Neo-Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois. Glasser himself and many of the other attorneys on the case were Jewish. They were protecting the rights of people demonstrating to advocate for doing violence against people like them.

Viewpoints like this are mostly gone these days in the US. Liberalism has become unpopular on the Left (and it's always been just a suggestion on the Right in my experience).
I found I really appreciated Apple Maps' relative directions also take into account differences in context of walking rather than driving.

Hm! I've come across this as "Russian Peasant Multiplication" https://www.wikihow.com/Multiply-Using-the-Russian-Peasant-M...

Easier to digest I think to break TFA into two conceptual pieces

1. the representational complexities of roman numerals (remember not to use prefix notation; what does each character mean)

2. the actual meat of the multiplication algorithm (russian peasant method)
Thanks, I didn't know there was a name for it. But every single code example out there is an anti-pattern to this as far as I've seen.
Apple Maps has this as well. You can report police, hazards, and accidents.

Maybe? I can't compare 50% to 100 billion. If your computer crashed every 100 billion instructions that would be a problem. If it crashed every other instruction, that would be very slightly more (or the same amount) of a problem.

The point is that if you have a function call, you have the opportunity for a bug/ failure. Networks don't change that - you have the opportunity for a bug/ failure. The major difference is that services have stronger failure isolation.

I appreciate your detailed explanation, I came to the comments for exactly this reason. “How is Windows ‘Alt-tab’ any different”.

I hate to say, I’m still not following you :) I have spent plenty of time developing of both Mac & Windows systems. I still can’t think of any difference in behavior.

What you said In Windows ”with a unified window stack so a single keystroke (Alt-Tab) always takes you to the previous window”, this is the same on Mac. A single press of “Cmd-tab” always goes to the previous window. So if you press it, release & repeat, you will just keep toggling the same two windows. Same behavior.

Mac, as you mentioned gives you an extra layer, where you can cycle windows of the same App ‘type’ with “Cmd - `”. Which I find very useful, and actually miss when I’m on Windows.

What am I missing? “Alt - tab” & “Cmd - tab” have the same behavior, no? Then Mac gives you the extra “Cmd - `”. Why would I want them Windows behavior? Maybe I should just download it and try for myself haha.
'Enforced' isn't the right word for that legislation - it's a derogation, meaning it's removing rules, not creating them.

Specifically, that regulation gives service providers a temporary legal mechanism to continue to scan their own traffic for CSAM, if and only if they want to do so, without breaking the law due to GDPR etc (which otherwise made doing so arguably illegal). It just re-legalized the scanning that service providers were doing voluntarily before GDPR, and which they're doing regardless outside the EU anyway.
As a former Windows, but now Mac, user I find Mac's system to work just fine. Especially once you learn that cmd+~ switches between the current app's windows. Plus, 4-finger swipe up shows all the current open windows.
Yup, these days any serious use you can afford to throw memory at the problem. So many things become so much easier when the limits are pushed back to out of memory or integer overflow territory.

30 years ago I had to live with problematic memory limits and made some design decisions that over time I would come to hate because I had to shoehorn data into EMS memory banks. Data objects ended up sliced and diced into separate arrays, never did they point to the relevant things because such pointers would always have been into a different bank and the only possible allocation was the whole bank.
A parent working at NASA is a great advantage for entering tech not because they could open a door for you, but because they would help you creating a receptive mindset much before you'd actually start reading books. Or maybe it wasn't the case for you, but it definitely was for me. My father is a programmer, my mother a maths teacher. My mother's parents both were maths teacher, at different school levels. You can guess it was easy for me to have mathematical and computer concepts presented and explained every time I fancied them. I could develop and nurture my love for STEM much before it was a matter of actually reading books on my own.

It's not mechanical, of course; my sister never particularly enjoyed maths and went on to become a nurse. That's fine, of course; but clearly the road would have been harder for me if I wasn't born in an environment which valued maths and science as naturally interesting.

My mother's siblings have all finished the university, and so have my cousins on my mother's side (or are still going to the university). Among my father's siblings, he's the only one who finished the university, and coincidentally of my cousins on my father's side the only who finished university are my siblings and I. Of course I don't pretend this is statistically significant, but I think the real privilege with culture is not the money or somebody who makes it easier for you to get a job, but rather being born in an environment that stimulates your desire for culture.
Yup... I tried macOS for a few months... first thing I went looking for (well, second after switching command/alt or whatever it is).
> ‘solid' would mean its interior is completely filled.

I disagree. Mathematically, I wouldn’t know how to define a solid other than “anything with a volume”.

Certainly, a bell, when defined as a surface of revolution, doesn’t have an interior in a mathematical sense (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Interior.html), does it?

There’s the convex closure, but that would, for the prototypical bell, add volume ‘outside’ the bell, too.

Also, I think varying wall thickness in bells for centuries was the only known way to tune them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieter_and_François_Hemony#Lif...:

“When struck, a bell produces a number of partials which, if imprecisely tuned, can create an unpleasant sound and which prevents it from harmonizing in accordance with other bells. To address this problem, the Hemony brothers gave their bells a particular profile and thickened it in certain places. The bells were then tuned by hollowing ridges from specific parts of the inner wall until the first few partials were acceptably in tune.”

(Aside: if you want your work to be used for centuries, becoming a professional bell caster seems a good bet)
I think we'd all probably welcome that... except Apple, because I just did a quick Google and it does look like Apple have successfully patented (Patent 7,932,897) the clicky wheel input. So I don't think a US based company like Analogue could get away with that!

Holding a desire to do violence is even more protected than saying it out loud or writing it down, which are also generally protected if they aren’t imminent incitement.

Also, by now I've seen so many breathless statements by leftists who are literally shaking rn that so-and-so "denies my right to exist" and "wants me dead" that it doesn't even look like anything to me anymore. It's just a slogan. Letters of the alphabet strung together.
