It seems so. I hope Cockpit is small enough so one day it could replace LuCi as OpenWRT interface, also on smaller devices. I recall of some quirks with LuCi, such as the interface not synced to system files, so that one was forced to edit them by hand. Although I'm a Linux guy, I'm a fan of OpnSense and XigmaNAS, both BSD based, and their super clean, stable and efficient web UI which looks somewhat similar to Cockpit.
> What size would you recommend? UUID is 16 bytes?

The thing is, document ids are used for indexing. So taking a simple eCommerce store as an example (assuming you have 100s of thousands of products) Product.id will be used extensively in indexes, you would want products to be displayed in a particular order, categorize them, sort/filter by price/listing date etc and so on. Which means lots of map-reduce views (which create these indexes). So you would want product ids to be as small as possible.

Seller.id, Review.id won't be used as extensively, you can then go for UUIDs.

But Ids can be used creatively for filtering or sorting `prod-{yyyy-mm-dd}-iphone13`, if that's your use case, you should forget about the id length. Id length matters mostly for disk usage in indexes.
I recently wrote a Haskell module [1] for computing with so-called Rankings, which I formalize as a triple consisting of a size, an unrank function that maps integers in the range 0..size-1 to objects, and a rank function that maps objects to integers.

A similar Haskell module [2] was written by Brent Yorgey.

The multinomialRanking function in my module generalizes the binomial rankings considered in the article, as well as permutations. By composing all kinds of rankings together, some very interesting classes of objects can be enumerated.

Even very densely coded chess positions; by nesting 14 different rankings, I obtained a ranking of size ~ 8.7x10^45 that includes all legal chess positions.
Sampling millions of random chess positions [3] and determining their legality [4] allowed us to estimate the number of legal chess positions as ~ 4.8 * 10^44.

My experience in London and NYC is the opposite.

In NYC there was rarely a time that I couldn't hear a siren. I figured it was because of the very long, straight roads with unbroken sight lines and the curious way American emergency vehicles seem to leave the siren on all the time.

In London I live on a main road but only hear them a few times a day, only for a second as they go past, and rarely at night. Quite a lot of emergency vehicles drive past, but they usually have the siren turned off for the small area where they're audible to me.
+1 to your comment.

I suspect they are feeling stressed because they're the main goto person on the product, and with enough random bobble heads running around trying to commit sacrilege on your codebase it quickly becomes a problem of control to maintain the quality you've so strongly instilled vs allowing the product to progress.

Their best path to get out of this bind I'd say is to slowly try to make themselves redundant on that product, choose a victim dev to be your successor and gradually disengage. Possibly a new product or project will be started and then they're free to get involved in that instead.

Also learn how to interview new candidates and get involved at that level, getting good (even better than you) coworkers is a great way to influence the whole company culture and make your work life much more pleasant.
You can read whatever you like but should strive to find out whether it is/was factual (assuming non-fiction). When it comes to Cultural/Social/Historical accounts of any Civilization this becomes even more important since so much has been lost and hence needs to be rediscovered/recreated. Nothing is simple and homogeneous but interpretations, point-of-view, agency all matter.

When the "West" discovered the "alien East", partial knowledge, romanticization, Social/Cultural Darwinism were the coloured lenses through which they interpreted everything. Thus all accounts were necessarily incomplete and distorted but once they were written down became "gospel". This is why "Historical Revisionism" (in the positive sense) is so important nowadays.

There is literally not a single thing true in this comment. I would advise you seriously revaluate where you are getting your (mis)information from.

Lightning is a way of using bitcoin. A way of cooperatively creating bitcoin transactions with multiple parties, in such a way that you can minimize the number of on-chain transactions required. It is bitcoin. It has the same security model as bitcoin. It uses the same technology. It is not in any way centralized (it's a p2p network of payment channel connections, with each operator running their own server).
Possibly the codebase and the binaries, apparently. The author seems not to know, either. If I was the author, I'd buy a CO detector. His comments are a bit off.
Any plans to sell a full laptop kit minus mainboard? I have a Framework with the 11th Gen CPU (that I love very much) and I like that there is an upgrade path to the 12th gen CPU, but afaict that would leave me with an 11th gen mainboard that I can't turn into a second laptop easily and would be hard to sell for the same reason.
The most effective solution to speeding are narrow streets. People speed because they are under the impression that it's safe. Making the street narrower and decreasing sight lines (e.g. by adding trees) reliably causes people to slow down.

Rust is not "avoiding" HKT in any real sense. The feature is being worked on, but there are interactions with lifetime checking that might make, e.g. a monad abstraction less generally useful compared to Haskell.
Just go to your settings and set the old design as default. I'm still using the old design without the subdomain, and I've no problem to post.
It can, and it's a good point. But I get up at 7:30, and the hour before that can be noisy. Really, in a city, the last tranche of people go to bed at 2am, the first tranche rises at 6am. That's only four hours of quiet unfortunately, and even that can be interrupted.

In the future I will prioritise quiet when picking somewhere to live. I'm just a light sleeper and it kind of sucks. In evolutionary terms, it's heavily maladapted to city life.
Spacetime is nice because they / Matt often acknowledge uncertainty (indeed, gaps being found or closed in current understanding are probably one of the most common themes of the show), unlike many others which tend to present theories as facts (e.g. kurzgesagt often does this). Likewise, they don't shy away from making relatively complex explanations instead of leaning all to heavily into bogus analogies. They made a well-regarded by physicists (as far as I can tell) series on relativity, for example.
It's not necessarily more expensive either. Instead of arriving in the afternoon, you have the whole day ahead of you, and you mostly spent down time for travel. To get the same amount of waking hours in a trip where you fly you would need an extra night in the accommodation of choice at the travel destination. That's €50 – €100 extra. And of course the costs of getting from the airport to a place you actually want to spend time, and the costs of your time in terms of leave taken from work!

For many sleeper trains already are cost effective. And as soon as governments finally give in and stop subsidising air travel it will only become more attractive.

And every train fan knows that there is one thing that can't be beat: get off the train in the early morning, take a few steps, and you're standing in front of the station and you're done. You can go visit a museum or do some other leisurely thing. No security, no delays in getting your luggage, not being stuck in airport getting ready for the train/taxi/bus to some place humans actually want to be.
Or just don't accept large patches, tell authors to split them into nice commits, and have others review it with you.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to command or receive respect with such limited engineering experience. I think you may also struggle to convey technical details to non technical stakeholders. Finally, it will be your responsibility to make sure the engineers have proper training and mentorship to improve as engineers.

If you can win respect and loyalty you can probably lean on your senior devs for all these things, but I certainly wouldn’t take respect and loyalty as a given. If it were me personally I would consider this a risky career move.

This was already flagged yesterday, I guess it will get flagged soon again.
I'm getting the same sort of vibe from my corners of the Internet: people moving away from the big walled gardens and doing more distributed things like forums and running their own Mastodon instances. Some long-lived forums are undergoing amazing resurrections, seeing more posts in 2022 than they have between 2017-2021. I do pick up a general theme of being able to control the experience, whether that's the UI or being able to set moderation policies.

IMO Reddit killed their vibe when they removed the distinction between post karma and comment karma, in the subs I visited it seemed to encourage the upvoting of very basic questions and observations that were easy to farm karma from by posting the same answers, comments and jokes every time. (I'm aware that some of the smaller and more actively moderated communities have escaped this, sadly it didn't cover the main ones I was interested in.)

> but this is a post about PostgreSQL, not Microsoft's SQL Server.

I assume that what was meant is what I'd say as “SQL engine” or “SQL query runner”. It is unfortunate that MS has a habit of using common words in its product names. PG is a SQL server (no capital) in the sense that it is a server that processes SQL statements for retrieving and manipulating data.
In your comment history we have both climate change denial and now AIDS-denial as well. You're certainly one to think outside the box.
I have a "noisy" unmodified car, and my neighbour has an Abarth with a modified exhaust. I haven't measured the noise difference for an exact number, but I'd wager his car is about 15x louder than mine. _No_ old unmodified cars are going to be caught by any laws that are aiming to capture nuisance laws.

Looks like Framework is ready to take over the role of the compute unit from Raspberry Pi/Jetson for cyber decks[1] thanks to the separate availability of the mainboard and its modularity.

It's also priced reasonably and so I might be able to get it to India without selling my kidney which is not possible with fully-built laptops due to import restrictions i.e. If Framework ever decide to ship to the country.

> It's also super disappointing that in 2022 we're still manually marking 10- line functions used in one place and called from one site as inline.

The `inline` keyword usually isn't necessary anymore to get the compiler to inline stuff, the compiler has some pretty good heuristics for determining whether to inline a function call or not. The `inline` keyword is an extra hint to the compiler, and affects linkage (i.e multiple object files defining the same `inline` function does not result in a linker error).

I don't understand what you're disappointed at, this all seems very reasonable.
Ask HN: Why doesn't math look like a programming language?
Why do we still use symbols like ∑ instead of just writing it inline like sum()? Or probability() instead of P(). I mean it's page one in any "Good programmer" book: use descriptive names.

I realize that all these funny greek letters and multiline spelling quirks were accumulating in math "vocabulary" for ages because people used to write equations by hand on a confined piece of paper or clay or whatever they were using.

But isn't it possible to modernize the math syntax to use more descriptive names, variables and functions?

People talk about YC companies all the time. There is no weighting, no one flagging posts about YC companies. Most people here aren't part of YC, we have no reason to give them any more leeway than anyone else. The main reason no one in a random cryptocurrency thread is talking about one random cryptocurrency company is because that company is not a significant part of the industry, and no one except the people getting Goxxed even know it exists.

I see that as a "market platform" problem. I used extensively amazon.de/co.uk with deliveries in Romania, in early 2010's for a bunch of things. But since then they also opened up their market to any seller, quality dropped, shipment became preferential, or 1 cart could result in 2 separate shipments.

Aside. I've seen the exact same problems with our local Amazon "competitor". As soon as they became a platform marketplace I've started using them less and less because of the same quality/delivery issues.

Good point, it's easy to forget that nowadays there is much more variety of games in the different subgrenes.

You might be right, that was not included in the study that I've read. On the other hand narrow streets may create non-remediable capacity problems in the longer run. Also, recklessness also is not completely stopped by narrow streets and trees.

Interesting. I live in central London and moved flat a few years ago.

Only noise issues i had were motorcycles with modified exhausts and emergency sirens. It's really quite confusing why they are considered necessary. New flat is high up and has 3 inch thick windows so we can't hear a thing unless its really nearby. But i have the door open sometimes and you can hear what sounds like a massive terrorist response of emergency sirens. THe you look over and see its one ambulance traversing traffic in an area with many angled buildings.

It's getting better each year though. On a trip to Italy I bought NightJet and EuroCity tickets via ÖBB's website, and a Frecciargento ticket via Trenitalia's website. All from the comfort of my Dutch home. Tickets for local trains can be trivially bought at terminals which speak a host of languages these days at most Italian stations.

At such long distances I prefer to plan a day or so at intermediate points (like Paris in your example) to prevent delays from cascading into the whole trip. So you would have separate tickets anyway.

I realise someone who speaks only Dutch and a bit of English may be daunted by that, but there are local train travel agents who can do it for you for a modest fee.
