Just a reminder that terror is commonly known as a strategy to inject fear and tensions into a society with the goal of implementing a more restrictive/authoritarian framework or a revolutionary change of the principal organization of society. Protests for enforcing established rights don't fit this concept, even, if they should happen to derail at some point.

Also, various symbols associated to the GOP were observed in the context of the January 6th incident. So are these all hate symbols? Certainly not and every such notion is utter nonsense. Attributing meaning by incidental association is not how it works.

Counter-point to this is that edge computing addresses the latency for compute in the same way that a CDN does for static assets.

SSR definitely has drawbacks in the old "run your app from a single VPS somewhere" model, but in a globally distributed edge computing model, you remove a lot (but not all) of those drawbacks.

Where did I suggest rewriting things from scratch?
why should mozilla continue to pay for a CEO and "managerial staff"? i don't mean accountants and all, but bosses and "managers" who are not paid by the work done but instead based on "market rates" as i read in some mozilla report sometime ago?

what benefit does having a CEO to mozilla do when insiders and outsiders like me see no tangible benefit? its not like apple which has to pay their CEO top dollar to show they are so good. can the mozilla org not hire X number of developers who would be doing the actual work instead of a single CEO whose job, according to me at least seems to be doing everything in their power to ruin the good name of mozilla? its as if they are paid to take all the bad decisions. strange
What do you need to unite them about? Unless Alabama is imposing something untenable on California, what does California care? It can keep being California.

You're not going to unite France and Germany on everything either. But you don't have to. They just have to agree to let each other keep being France and Germany.
NYC has low street homeless because they build enough shelters and are next to New Jersey, which is good at providing affordable housing (Mt. Laurel doctrine).

California has high street homeless because housing is expensive not only in cities but everywhere in their exurbs as well. Most homeless people in California are locals who just can't afford their rent; they're not "bussed in" and didn't move for the weather.

Being mean to homeless people has very little effect compared to giving them homes. California governments are good at being mean to them; the police constantly raid them and steal all their possessions. It of course doesn't do anything.

Note, it's not related to drugs because the parts of the country with the worst drug problems (like West Virginia) don't really have big homeless populations, since they can still afford somewhere to live.
What a stupid comment. Are you just on the lookout for something to be offended about?

I was asking for an explanation, which he gave.
What industry? Over in infosec, they seem to just do courtesy interviews to suss out if I did some ecrime the feds are sniffing about, find out they were incorrect, then not even have the common courtesy to drop the act and offer to pay me as a consultant rather than treat job interviews as fishing expeditions.
I was recently approached by a firm that it seems does a similar thing to what you've described. As a native english speaking tech professional, they wanted me to assist others in initial video interviews for tech positions. I don't know how any amount of spin or perspective could sell such a thing as anything but fraud. I honestly couldn't even put together how it would work long term, but I suppose with the nature of some remote work, it might be possible by a committed actor or agency. It's creepy as heck, and reminds me of that movie "Gattica."
They often compare Canada to Europe and this is definitely another match.
and that's it.

Florida is comparable to Chile, Rhode Island to Czech Republic, Texas to Poland, Michigan to Slovakia and finally West Virginia to Jamaica.

BTW the Netherlands ranks pretty low in Europe.
That could be true, though as a suburbanite myself, I have to say that what we seem to do most is walk & run. It's just not forced. After the first few miles of walking per day, I don't think the extra really contributes significantly more health benefits.
Under "what do you do for work", I found only dev related roles - I am looking for PM roles. Since I didn't find it, I clicked on the link that took me to the typeform page. Here it states that you are looking for "passionate engineers, designers, and PM's" - but I could not find the option to select PM as a role in the previous page - I have now registered but hoping you can let me know if you are able to provide PM related roles.

Loved the UI though - Didn't feel clunky like AngelList and was fast too.
Why wouldn't "we like it" be good enough?
Ask HN: Questions to ask from potential colleagues before relocation?
I have the last interview/meeting with some of my potential colleagues.
This is an interview from my part where I am supposed to ask about the company culture and relocation experience from my colleagues. The job is in the Netherlands and I will be relocating alone.

Not sure what kind of questions i should ask. Looking to get some guidance here for this meeting.

Please share what sort of questions you would ask or if you know any link with a compilation of question please do share .
Out of curiousity during the Great "Write The Stupidly Fastest HTTP Router For No Reason" Go craze 3 or 4 years ago, I benched a simple always-worst-case scan over a byte slice (read "array" if you don't know what this in Go) using the obvious for loop (no attempts at SIMD shenanigans or anything) vs. a lookup in a map. The performance cutoff was on the order of around 10 entries where the map finally become faster. Which is actually somewhat impressive for the map. It's pretty easy for a hashing routine to push it higher than that. And that was again for the answer always being on the end of the array.

That was just for scanning a byte slice and seeing what index a match was at. This is a bit more complicated and we're down in "count the cycles" territory, so it may not quite be at the same cutoff as my code, but I'd still expect competitive behavior at 5 or 6 entries at a minimum.

For this use case where you also want to be able to do ranging, I would expect to see that there are places where this is slower for the very complicated checks, but I'd also expect those complicated checks to constitute such a small fraction of the checks that this would not generally be slower. And then at scale, having more stuff in the various CPU caches would be a huge win. This would actually be a challenge to benchmark up and prove because you'd really need to do something less like "route the same thing a billion times and check the time" and more like "load a production config and run a recorded trace of queries against it" because of cache concerns. (A lot of naive benchmark code of the "run this tight loop" variety is excessively optimistic because it benches the code assuming it fits into L1; not a useless number, but not necessarily what you can expect to see in real life.) The performance of the code in the article will most likely look quite a bit better in real life than naive looping benchmarks would suggest, because the naive looping benchmarks are very likely to fail to expose the cache weaknesses of using fully-populated maps everywhere.
You do realize we're agreeing?

I'm saying the things that are hard to do yourself aren't fucking cheap in the cloud either.

My counter point (and the one you keep dodging) is that the things that are EASY to do yourself aren't fucking cheap in the cloud, and they scale out just fine for the vast majority of non-Saas businesses.
It's so amazing, I completely agree! It's really inspiring honestly.

we could filter on co's who had steady growth for >2 years, potentially profitable, over 15 people, and good benefits packages. any other filters?
How about 'startups profitably growing through valuable tech/product/impact without selling increasing ownership % to ammoral speculators and probably diluting employees to zero with layoffs one bad fiscal quarter away'?

More seriously, firms who can check profitable , small fund raises relative to revenue, etc

(On which note, we are hiring ;-) )
I like when I can easily answer "has new email arrived since last time I looked" from having an unread count of zero or nonzero. That's why I seldom leave with a nonzero count, but usually cursor through every mail at least to mark it read. I get only about 10-15 mails per day, 95% of which is spam and non-actionable subscription stuff though.
Thanks. It was Skype, actually.
That sounds like a good, if informal argument that obesity is a primary factor. Or maybe exercise, which is certainly going to be correlated with obesity. You can be fit and still overweight, for sure, but only to a limited extent.

Most of the slow SPAs I use are slow because they are waiting for api requests from the server.
I agree with the other comments. I went through the entire form and got to the place where you had to enter personally identifying information and nope-d out. Judging from past comments on this site, I'd wager you're losing a lot of valuable would-be users with this onboarding flow. I like the design, I like the little questionnaire, but all of that doesn't matter if you betray my trust as a user with a dark pattern like that.
> The problem with that is that SQL as a standard is so patchy and inconsistently implemented that effectively everything has database-specific features.

Noting that when it comes to such patchiness, sqlite's developers specifically prefer to follow PG's example. When they write new SQL features, their basis for comparison is literally always "do we get the same answer as PG?" Yes, there are differences between the two, but porting between sqlite and PG, provided no fancy PG features are involved, is very likely simpler than porting between any two other arbitrary SQL engines. (That's ignoring any performance factors - i'm only talking about semantic compatibility.)
Thank you! was the value proposition clear to you or did the design distract a bit?
> A server is not 'rendering' a website the same way a client does.

While this is technically true, there is still "rendering" happening on the server when you JIT-compile JSX/TSX templates and transpile everything from your ES6 modules and includes to HTML/CSS/JS that a browser can parse.

In a sense you're splitting the load between client and server because you're right some stuff always has to run client side (like the actual layout engine work).

Yes, the open source Next.js doesn't include support for deploying middleware to the edge. If you run `next start` it runs middleware in the main server process. I work at Netlify and to support running Next middleware on edge functions we had to write our own open source integration for it, just as we did for deploying Next to lambda functions.
Saying "lose weight" doesn't work. Ask some doctors—once their eyes stop rolling, they'll tell you how rarely counseling patients about weight loss has any effect. Further, it certainly won't help much when you're dealing with a timeframe best measured in months.
That's why using this to create methanol as a fuel is would be pointless. Hence the question about the size of market for methanol. Similarly there would be no point in using this to produce methanol for use in fuel for cars.

There are a lot of dumb middle managers out there. In some cases, the position and the intelligence are co-dependent, I suspect. It's truly terrifying, if you think about it.

Is it really duck typed if no static type checking is performed on the SQL? Duck typing to me seems to imply checking quacks and waddles at "compile" time. I would think it's at most loosely typed and at worst dynamically typed.

EDIT: Without the new strict mode of course, where it is not duck typed but typed by name.

EDIT 2: Actually maybe duck typing is fine to use for dynamic languages too. The affinity of INT keys and stuff is sort of duck typing I guess.
Some of these aren't necessarily bad.

Sometimes when you're rebuilding the entire world its good to get distracted with jumping into some firefighting (even when "not on call") to get the dopamine hit of fixing a problem and being the goddamn hero.

Then you can go back in two or three days or something to being Sisyphus.

As the currently top voted comment points out that sometimes going off and doing other things can also help "unstick" you when you're feeling overwhelmed and burned out on one particular problem.

It is actually kind of annoying to have a manager that ALWAYS wants you to be not distracted and ALWAYS perfectly focused on whatever is your top priority. That just gets exhausting after awhile, even if you technically agree that's the highest priority thing you should be working on at any given time.
When the evidence for some "thing", from an entity that would know better, is clearly not really testing or demonstrating that thing, it tends to itself be evidence that what has been achieved is not what is being claimed. And this is starting to become par for the course in many fields, but especially in this one.

It's like claiming you've invented a car that can somehow go 400mph. And as evidence you show yourself not only just driving at 80mph on the Autobahn, but also using action-cut style cinematography to make it look more impressive to those who aren't in the know enough to look down at the speedometer. I can't prove you haven't done what you're claiming, but you're making a pretty strong case against yourself.

Oh, also in the latest news [1] it turns out that the "leaked" transcript of Lambda was "edited with readability and narrative coherence in mind" including editing the material and even changing the order of various dialogues.

The argument would be about whether it's a better plan to

1. Power cars with batteries charged from the grid or use

2. "Green" hydrogen, i.e. from cracking H2O with solar, or use

3. Synfuel derived from CO2 and green hydrogen, i.e. using the synfuel as a "battery", the output being CO2 and H20 again.

Still, PGSQL requires some level of setup/maintenance: create user, permissions, database, service with config/security effort. If there is a way to run PGSQL as lib and say to it: just store your data in this dir without other steps, I am very interested to learn.

Yeah, the project is basically abandoned. That's why I didn't research further into the licensing stuff (although at the time I thought attribution was good enough).

The content has never been monetized, since it's also against YouTube TOS to monetize automatically generated videos.
I agree with you in general, that it's best not to solve problems you don't have, but it's worth considering what exactly do the alternatives offer, as you might end up trading one kind of complexity or maintenance burden for another.

Fixed workload, shared dev boxes, all kinds of small-scale operations fit very well onto a bare metal / VPS box in someone else's rack. The maintenance work often boils down to setting up cron with unattended upgrades and borgbackup, Docker with Traefik+ACME as the web frontend, etc.

PaaS solutions will often pull you in the direction of getting "addons" or using extra paid services for every component you might need: a relational database, a cache, a queue, a load balancer... Which are usually a very good call if you need to scale up, but which could've all been entries in your docker-compose.yml if that's all you needed.

Most importantly, and regardless of your hosting strategy, you can't just dismiss security, disaster recovery, or capacity planning. Clouds have outages and bottlenecks too, and no product can save you from human error.

A traditional traeatment for this syndrome is to buy a muscle car or motorcycle and possibly make some conspicuous romantic mistakes.

I think it expresses a hope that finding something new that can engage your interest and energy will make the "joe job" frustrations a little easier to bear perhaps. There's probably other ways to meet that goal, but I dunno if it'll help. Depends on the victim.

Could also shed your worldly possessions and go walkabout for a while. At least it'll give you a different perspective.
In a way, both. Odds are, if you settle down it will be with a francophone so there’s no problems with what schools kids can attend (if they appear). The problem with non-single, non-French is that the partner can’t easily work and any kids must attend French school.

The deepfakes and stolen PII discussed in the article are for identity theft: The candidate steals the identity of someone with an impressive LinkedIn background and then presumably hopes that the company takes their background at face value and doesn't ask too many hard questions in the interview. The company then completes reference and background checks on the victim. They might also use this identity theft to qualify for jobs that aren't available in their location due to contractual and/or legal restrictions.

The "overemployed" people generally aren't performing identity theft like this. Having multiple jobs ranges anywhere from legal to fraud depending on contracts they've signed or how they've misrepresented themselves (it's not uncommon to see suggestions to take multiple hourly jobs and then exaggerate the number of hours worked, for example). However, adding identity theft on top would elevate what they're doing to a major crime, which is not something that would help them.

"The public are not allowed to discuss the topic" and yet here we are...

That video is a master class of truth twisting and lying by omission. Yes, the testing was accelerated by many factors, including massive guaranteed funding, intense competition, huge trial participant interest, the prior 10 years of research related to mRNA antigen delivery, including developing a more efficient regulatory framework for such drugs, but not lack of thoroughness.
