The Lambda-SQS poller will slow down in response to the lambda's error rate for this exact reason.

Note that this can cause issues: say you have a time sensitive application that receives a batch of "bad" messages which cause failed lambda invocations. The poller will slow down and the throughput will drop drastically, even though your intention might be for the lambda to continue processing at the same rate and power through the bad messages.

This behavior can be disabled with a support request.

I have used FriendDA many times with friends, we will throw it into the middle of a sentence while explaining an idea.

I have always thought there should be an execution clause. If I share an idea and have not spoken about it for X time then it becomes friend(publicish) domain. At that point anyone I have shared it with could implement it without recourse, it would be nice if they shared the wealth if they made millions.
Firstly HTMX is awesome, its a really cool project. There is also a Django project implementing helpers for it: https://django-htmx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

HTMX and Alpine take quite different approaches, HTMX is more about calling remote endpoints, returning html fragments and replacing parts of the DOM. It's really nicely done.

Alpine on the other hand is more about decorating your elements with directives and having a "reactive" client side state, very much like a mini Vue.js (it actually uses the reactive core from Vue). It also has a "morph" plugin, which Tetra uses, that rather than replacing the dom with html retuned from the server it makes all the necessary changes to make the existing dom match, keeping all user state (cursers in text boxes etc.). This is a lot like how Vue and React work.

Tetra components are sort of inspired by Vue and so more closely align with the Alpine approach.

I like the idea of this! I don't feel like I'm unusual in that I listen to my podcasts in a player app (Overcast, in my case), and always away from a computer. It would be really cool if this had an API that podcast apps could talk to for comments (maybe the creator of the feed has the ability to include a link to the API in the metadata, making an open ecosystem of podcast comment tools)
My point is that it's perfectly valid to argue that ownership itself is coercive.
What is "in-the-mattress" savings exactly... besides one person's savings that another wants to spend differently?

Who should be the ultimate judge of how capital is saved and invested? You? The government? What about the person who actually did the saving?

Taken to it's logical conclusion, saying that "devaluing in-the-mattress savings is a good thing" sounds a lot like "let's soak the rich" to me.... and it's a very slippery road to serfdom.
Typescript doesn't solve any of the mentioned issues. You can't use CommonJS modules if you are targeting ES6+. And you can't use ES6 modules if you are targeting CommonJS. The only thing really useful about Typescript is types + generics (to some extent).

If you install any library that's either only ESM or CommonJS, you can't run your program. It simply doesn't work.
Can you use SQLite tables as data structures like Pandas dataframes or Numpy arrays? Can you use them as aggressively as hash tables? Just wondering how aggressively you can use SQLite. Like, can I write functions that take SQLite tables in and output SQLite tables? Can I use SQLite queries as alternatives to list comprehensions? The lack of a separate process and IPC makes SQLite seem like it could be yet another data structure in Python's "collections" module.
Most I’ve known do it for the lols. This trait makes them really bad at holding down a good job.
I'm getting "don't think about the price, just think about the monthly payment!" vibes from this post, so if not real estate then definitely some kind of sales.
They'll never get it man.

They want to government up their a$$.

That's why I no longer argue with them, not as much as I used to.

Every successful, cool and relaxed person Ive known in real life is against all of this shit.
I tried googling for evidence of that, but couldn't find anything. :)
Do you have any non-anecdotal information to support this theory?

It's definitely within reason to reframe ambition as "willingness to take risks to advance oneself." In which case your theory might be suffering from survivors bias. Given a number of people pursuing ambitious agendas the average and median results could be anywhere on the map but you would still have an outsized representation within "people who ascended hierarchies".

Horrifying description of the first such hospital constructed, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trenton_Psychiatric_Hospital

> In 1907, Dr. Henry Cotton became the medical director. Believing that infections were the key to mental illness, he had his staff remove teeth and various other body parts that might become infected from the hospital patients. Cotton's legacy of hundreds of fatalities and thousands of maimed and mutilated patients did not end with his leaving Trenton in 1930 or his death in 1933; in fact, removal of patients' teeth at the Trenton asylum was still the norm until 1960.

If you want to know why the state “asylum” system was dismantled in the 70s look no further.
A place where you live is not a living expense? That line of thought is how we got here in the first place. Things break in a house all the time, and it costs money to maintain. A house should be treated as a depreciating asset. We'd all be better off. (I say this as a homeowner btw)
Payment providers are already selling this information for marketing purposes. I'm sure policy makers and central banks could already get much more detailed insights if they want to.
I actually think the complete opposite, there is so little good in the world that doing it to boost your ego or getting viewers on YouTube it's as good reason as any, and it can influence others to do the same, we learn pretty much everything by imitation, why would being good be any different? That guy who went viral for recording himself picking tons of litter without doubt made thousands of people think before littering and his actions have had a more positive impact than most people on this site.

I only had to sleep in the streets one single cold night, I wouldn't have mind in the slightest to be filmed thanking the helper in exchange for a warm room, I definitely would had feel I got the upper hand on such "deal".
This is the problem, and we can't actually do this because we have a shortage of even basic "blub programmers" who can get business logic correct. Developers who are able to produce basically correct simple code are expensive, how much more expensive are people who are able to build low-level secure and optimized code?
You don't need to purchase a home - but historically - if you did - you've been much better off financially.

It's the same as saying you don't NEED to go to college. No, you don't. You don't need much of anything... But if you did go to college - whether through correlation or causation - statistically you are much better off.

So if college and housing get out of reach for most people - then maybe they will be worse off.

Who knows? Maybe it is all correlation and no causation.
Fair enough thanks for explaining. Basically if you want to make your own Malloc or things like it, zig is friendlier. Will say though, I've used rust for gamedev, and found the experience to be really nice. Was I writing my own memcpy though, nope.

It's funny how in rust you can write raw asm, but there seem to be quirks somewhere in the middle.
Depending on the context you could probably give away pizzas pretty easily/innocently. Walking up to some children you do not know and offering to take them to a secondary location in return for free food… would come across very differently
>That's an investment, not a living expense.

Owning a home isn't just an investment, it's QoL.

Renting is shit, and raising kids in rented space is shit too. If someone moderately cares about their QoL and isn't enamoured with the idea of popping kids not having their own place won't help with deciding to make kids.
So it's not the system itself, but the greed and manipulation. If any currently existing system could exist but without people's greed and manipulation, would it be as bad as it is now?

I think people who have things (imaginary power in the form of numbers in a spreadsheet) will work very hard to make sure that at the very least they can keep what they have, and generally will just want more of the same.

Then again, the scope, size and blatant abuse varies from country to country and in some cases gets re-dressed and hidden behind movements, religions, armed conflicts etc. and a universal system for everyone is unlikely to work in the real world, at least not with identity politics and borders.
Union elections are how that check is performed. Microsoft appears to be skipping this process though and voluntarily recognizing the union, presumably because they know it would win such an election. This is probably only coming up because as a part of the acquisition process they are terminating and rehiring all the employees, which removes the existing union representation since the old employment relationship no longer exists. This is of course mostly just a paperwork exercise but is common in acquisitions since the acquired is not necessarily legally taking control of the acquired corporation itself, but rather its assets.

The code seems to suggest they have a 200ms throttle between each keystroke, which should explain the delay.
Going further, some L1 chains claim to be anonymous not pseudonymous. Whether that is or remains true depends on the crypto(graphy).

It's just occurred to me that Apple's move away from the x86 platform has pretty much signed the death warrant of the Hackintosh.
Agreed. But now we're back to:

And I have a new one...

"You're not only the interviewer, you're an interviewee as well."

Understanding these two basic are essential to a decent hiring process. Ignore these and you're just another fool in a sea of fools.

Yeah, and where was the outrage about that? With the stroke of a brush, all apps on the Play Store were backdoored in one go.

Whether or not the apps currently have any backdoors in them is completely irrelevant because it is effectively exactly the same thing! The apps could be patched any moment and no one would be the wiser.

With the signing key known only to the developer, you have near 100% confidence (as long as the developer keeps the key secure) that Google hasn't manipulated the app.

With the signing key in Google's hands, you have ZERO confidence. Or more precisely, you can have exactly as much confidence as if no signing had taken place, making signing a complete farce.

Yes, it still protects you from manipulation by a 3rd party between you and Google, but it's still a major loss of trustworthiness.
Link is down... but....

Back around the turn of the century when I was a high school freshman, I really wanted to try to crack wiki passwords and Linux was the only way to do it. Wifi itself was still a bit of a novelty. I was a Windows Bro. I forget the name of the package, and it would be almost another decade before I moved to Linux desktop full time - but it opened me up to a world of possibilities.

The SpaceMouse is a great piece of interaction design/mechanical engineering; makes CAD much less painful. (Never tried it on a spreadsheet!) The key is the mechanical springs in it which provide just a bit of resistance without impeding precise control. It has a bit of a learning curve, kinda like when Macs reversed the finger scroll gesture on trackpads, but then it becomes part of my left hand while my right hand mans the mouse.
It's about the implementation. I believe something should be illegal or legal. If it's legal all the same rights and services should be granted to individuals in this trade. Fraud and charge backs should be handled by the services processors and new services should arise to handle higher risk industries. Better than the state putting their finger on the scales

There is a 200ms debounce on that example, it's also on a tiny DigitalOcean droplet. (I will reduce that debounce)

The approach is similar to Laravel Livewire, and so it's possible to have the same level of responsiveness.

It doesn't really solve anything: either nobody wants to be part of it anymore with no working system as a result, or it will be manipulated like any other system and low-level employees will be the scapegoat.
There still needs to be an initial act of taking by force to set up the initial ownership, creating the possibility of trade.
E2E encryption only matters when the cryptosystem is reputable, open and withstood the test of time and scrutiny.

E2E encryption only matters when the identity provider is trustworthy, unlike most services which manage the PKI on users' behalf.

And most importantly, E2E encryption only matters when both sides apprehend the strengths and limitations of it, and practice appropriate opsec.

After reading this article, I'm not sure how Proton delivers on any of these requirements. It seems to infantilize a complicated infosec topic to comfort laypersons using their service instead, not unlike most of their marketing material I've seen.
What you need to understand is that organic cropland makes up less than 1 percent of total US cropland, organic commodities make up less than 2 percent, and less than 6 percent of total retail food purchases are organic.

You can buy organic all you want, but rest assured it is a luxury good and you are paying a premium for whatever peace of mind it gives you. The rest of the world doesn't have that luxury. Waging war against all GM crops could drive food prices beyond what's affordable. It also drastically reduces our ability to battle emerging pathogens.

Any iOS App Store apps that do not track or collect information?
Are there any reputable external lists, or third party resources, to find collections of apps that minimize data collection or do not engage with it at all?
Simple apps like a basic metronome or a habit tracker all seem to have data collection baked in. On Android I could use fDroid or similar. What is the best approach on iOS? We can use web apps to some extent, but is there a better way?
This actually gives me a lot of confidence in Lucid!

They estimate that only 1% of vehicles are affected and they initiated the recall before anyone got hurt. Other Auto OEMs would have likely ignored the issue and moved on.
A partial problem about cpi, as the article discusses, is that it's about what's consumed. So it's primarily beneficial for people living paycheck to paycheck and less beneficial for people trying to sort out the harder-to-commodify question of quality of life.
You should google monero first because that's the opposite of what it does.

In Czech Republic you need an exception to buy something like AR-15, however the exception is quite easy to get. Long weapons magazines are limited to 10 rounds.

But most importantly, in order to buy a gun you need to get a license. This means medical check, passing a theory test, passing a psychological test and passing a practical test at the shooting range. It's not trivial at all.

The culture is completely different to US. Everyone is keeping their weapons in a safe. No bedside tables, car glove boxes or other nonsense. I've never heard of a child taking their parents' gun.
I'm trying to put up leaderboards and 'followers' this weekend... any HNers want to start a contest when I do?
constexpr/consteval/comptime/etc is a game changer for the systems programmer and it feels so close but yet so far. Can someone speak to what language has the best support for this? Some things that I feel are missing in C++:

* arbitrary file I/O. I can take my compile time data and write a python script to put it in a std::array, but I shouldn’t have to.

* non-fixed-sized containers, ie vector

* a generic memoization utility in the standard library for caching. If I want my function to handle any input at runtime, but I want to pre-populate a cache at compile time for values that I know will be called, it’s doable but not as easy as it should be. (In general, given the amount of algorithms that rely on memoization, I’m somewhat surprised that Python is the only language I know that makes memoization as easy as a decorator).
A comment existing in various binaries for the past 20 years is not the same as transient comments in source code that are removed prior to translation into a binary.
Isn’t this issue at least partially resolved by the code being open source?
A real estate investment is not a living expense. Home maintenance is covered by other items in the CPI basket. I assume you've never read through the list? It's quite extensive.
Interestingly I wonder the exact opposite -- can urban housing really justify these insane valuations when US cities have next to no appeal to me?

I recently moved out of a major city to a small, walkable town so I can get away from the crime, traffic, noise, dirtiness, and car-domination of US cities. It's pretty remarkable to see people and children walk around my neighborhood now -- didn't have that in my major US city before!

Your list of infrastructure issues with rural areas also applies to many major US cities. Let's see:

- no high speed Internet: I have faster internet in a small town than I ever had in any of the major US cities I've lived in. Some cities have fiber in nice neighborhoods, but it's by no means a strong rural/urban divide as you imply here.

- no public transport: Public transit is complete crap in most US cities, with many stuck in a post-covid death spiral thanks to fewer commuters, cut service lines, and rising or perceived-rising crime. There were enough clearly mentally ill people on public transit in my last city that I stopped riding public transit entirely. Where I live now, I can get around entirely on foot or by bike, no need for public transit at all.

- no necessary infrastructure like doctors/pharmacies/grocery stores: I can now walk to the grocery store. I could not in my last city.

- no employment opportunities: Definitely an issue for some fields, but remote work gives more flexibility on this. If anything this is an argument that's weakened over the last 2-3 years.

- schools closing down everywhere: You can only make kids ride so far on the bus in rural America. I know consolidations are an issue in many rural areas, but if you live in a small town, you'll likely be near the only school that remains open. If you live way out in the woods of course you won't have a super close-by school.

On the other hand, rural areas are the only places where many of my non-tech peers ever have a hope of owning a home these days. I suspect their values will perform better over time than million dollar townhomes in rotting city centers with poor internet quality, no walkability, crappy public transit, and lots of quality-of-life issues.
He's just exaggerating to sell his view which really has nothing to do with corruption, Canada gives special cartel licenses out, for instance the gambling industry. How those people running those outfits attain those is a mystery.

But there isn't an outright corruption like you would find in Ukraine or Zambia.

If you think Vancouver is corrupt, you really haven't travelled
How many people have done that in a pick-up? How many people have never transported anything in the back of their pick-up? I've barely ever seen one carrying anything.
This also effects larger Private Equity decisions. Moving a factory costs money, low interest rates in the US make it easier to borrow the money to do so. Lower interest rates also mean that assets appear cheaper relative to wages, meaning the asset price will be bid upwards to make up the difference.

I don't think we have a good understanding of all the effects changing interest rates have.

Ignoring what the value of a currency may be I wish buyers would reject bad prices. I really care about what the actual cost of a thing is from dirt to package.

If you’re just doing light work, by all means, maybe even server side development.

I think you have to use Mono Runtime w/o Windows which has poor performance. But ofc if your production is in a Windows environment that matters little.

> I much prefer a Linux dev environment over a Windows one

I used to try and get everything running on Linux. Unless you have some political motive, it’s not worth going against the grain.

C# development is ideal in Visual Studio, I could look at Vs code more, especially its debugging, but I don’t think it comes close to VS.

I know Windows isn’t very cool. There’s no modular user environment, not very programmer friendly, but it’s such a small price to pay when faced against getting something to actually work.

Just remember C# maybe great and ever expanding, but it’s just a language, and an enterprise centered one at that. I’ve worked with C# professionally for 3 years.
Good luck when USG helicopter raids you.
Setting aside the first sentence, I think this is valuable feedback for Wolfram.

Podcasters will need to meet listeners where they hang out (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) regardless of whether they can also be persuaded to use this additional niche social media site.

Any podcaster who would use this service will have already created a multi-channel social media presence for their show, so instead of "do this instead" the sales pitch must answer "why do this as well".
The Realtor and homebuilder lobbies are part of the thinking, too.

Number of births have been dropping since 2008ish, from this graph by the CDC.

Year 2022 - year 2008 = 14

Does that means starting this year, high school enrollment will be dropping year over year? In 4 years time, college enrollment will be dropping year over year.
In 8 years time, labor enrollment will be dropping year over year.

As for housing, there was a baby bump around 2008, that helps explain the housing boom for the last number of years. New parents scramble for housing in 2008, then a larger home (after the child hits 6 years old?) around 2014 . But as those kids are now starting high school, and families have settled in for the next 4 years, does this imply a housing slump?
Isn't this the point of TIPS?
