I have a k8s cluster in my basement (concrete floor, not dirt.) It's fine for dev work, but unsuitable for production. The real problem is redundant, reliable internet: cable internet upstream bandwidth sucks after 20 - 40 megabits/sec, and can't get fiber here yet.
Most retailers also tell their employees to let theifs get away rather than physically confront them. Doesn't mean they "don't care if there's" theft. Of course they care! They just want the relevant authorities to deal with it instead of putting their employees in potentially dangerous situations.

The article doesn't say whether the policy instructed employees to report the suspected fraud afterwards.

> As an example, NPM's `sqlite3` package does not contain the actual library. Neither does Ruby's.

That seems pretty... odd on their part. I know that Ruby gems in particular can and do include C sources, so there's no reason it couldn't ship sqlite3.c (or even the various .c files that get combined into sqlite3.c); if you're able to install Nokogiri (i.e. you have a usable C toolchain), then you should be able to compile sqlite3.c no problem.

Meanwhile, Python ships with an "sqlite3" module in its standard library (last I checked), so if you have Python installed at all then you almost certainly already have SQLite's library installed.
> I think what people get annoyed with is that, when someone is charged with a crime, the most serious crime involved often _requires_ other crimes to be committed in process so, by charging for necessary precursors to crime, you're effectively just increasing the penalty for the main crime.

Such a subcrime would be a "lesser included offense"; you can charge for both offenses, but you can't get a conviction on both of them at once.

I also feel that one other big problem with notes is organizing them properly as number of notes increase. Since git has history for all your changes you can easily delete anything that is not important right now.
I am building a side project exactally to solve this problem. It has auto sync also. The plan is to add search functionality that can search accorss the history of all the notes.

All tech choices are in reality based on the whims of the developers who make the decision. I see developers make so called “rational” decisions all the time but other developers in the same situation would make very different “rational” decisions. The reason is because different developers value things differently and no amount of “rational” decision making can change that. It’s exactly the same reason why we have politics. People value different things and no “rational” algorithm can fix that.
What's truly astounding is that Windows and Mac have developed their own Linux like distribution managers over the years indicating it's probably far better than the proprietary crap they created in the first place.
Not quite the same thing. The dispensaries are operating illegally. The fact that the states "legalized" it, doesn't mean it isn't illegal. There are plenty of other federal laws that don't have state equivalents outlawing them that are widely understood to be illegal as well.

But what is different are the social norms and expectations. The general agreement that they are legal, makes them defacto legal ... except where the federal jurisdiction matters. But, if there was political appetite for it, federal law enforcement could arrest and prosecute everyone involved in the recreational cannabis business in "legal" states. There is just no political appetite. The Rohrabacher–Farr amendment, though, prohibits this for medical usage (just enforcement, it still is illegal).

Note I do think we should broadly decriminalize (not the same as make fully legal) most drugs, and fully legalize things like cannabis.
Wasn't trying to cross in to conspiracy territory at all, really wanted to gauge what others knew about resources determining where we are as a whole I guess. Well, as far as public domain knowledge goes. I don't believe the military / government has anything outside of what "known" physics allows of course. But at the same time we are always learning new things about how things interact and can be used.

Similar story here. Person was clearly falling behind and was unreliable. The "it shouldn't matter if they get their work done" narrative doesn't hold up in practice, at least not with any reasonably utilized engineering team.

Now when I hire remote, I get in contact with the person's former company to confirm their start and end dates match the resume.
That just boggles my mind. I worked for an ecommerce company in 1998 and told them they should just use S/MIME instead of some bullshit proprietary encryption mechanism they used with their messaging client. It just works. But 24 years later encrypted email is still a mess.
Not sure about that. The additional messages can be automated, especially by those who send tons of emails (salespeople and recruiters, for example)

It might have something to do with the high fidelity voice calling having a reasonably large bandwidth that you could theoretically use as a data channel - many times larger than an old v.92 modem. Maybe that's not so relevant these days with more people having unlimited data plans.

This seems like a bad idea. It's potentially fraud, and if your stuff gets lost, stolen, or damaged, you could be out a lot of money.

To be honest, I use both daily. MSOffice for work, and LibreOffice for personal usage and I cannot tell a difference performance wise. However, my use case is limited to simple budgetary spreadsheets, simple docs, etc. If you are working with large datasets in excel or something than things might differ. Or maybe the performance depends on the hardware both are being run on possibly. Classic case of "it works on my computer" I guess.
Exactly. Isn't it a sad state of affairs that you can not write plain pure standards-compliant SQL and be done with it?

It's a bit like if you wrote C and could only compile your program with Oracle's C-compiler. Where is progress in SQL standardization going?
> This is what consultancies do all the time.

No, consultancies do not double-bill multiple clients for hours worked.

In fact, anyone billing a company in full for time that someone wasn't actually working on their project is committing fraud. Fraud that leaves a paper trail. This story would be brought to light very quickly by a disgruntled employee somewhere.
I wouldn't call the stock market a direct democracy. In a direct democracy, every citizen/participant has the same vote as another and all it takes is simple majority can invalidate the rights of every individual. Obviously that's not the case in the US, and for the better.

This is an important distinction. The actual money transfer service is not the issue in this specific case.
Syncthing works well when devices can find each other (usually over mDNS) and are online simultaneously. After dealing with an entangled mess of introducers and devices, I decided to setup an old phone running Syncthing-Fork as root (otherwise mDNS doesn't work on Android), use it as a central introducer and always-online file host, and put my shared files there. It works pretty well, but I still run into cases sometimes where one client learns of the existence of files from another device, but the other device is offline and my central server doesn't have copies of them.

For locally shared documents, I sync them with Syncthing and edit them on Android in Markor, and it works pretty well.
Curious what you use instead and what features you use that Vercel doesn’t have.
It would help if people were taught a few things about the IRS when they're kids. First, they never urgently need your money. There are consequences for missing deadlines but meeting them is up to you.

Second, the IRS may call you (an auditor did call me once) but they just tell you that a letter is in the mail. All their correspondence is verifiable by calling the office.

Third, they know your SSN. It's on the 1040. They will not call and ask you for it.

Fourth (applies to all callers, like banks, too), they don't call and ask for your PIN. If they do, find out how reach them from the main number, and never give a PIN to someone you don't know who called you.

OWA has a known issue with Firefox on Linux where it incorrectly believes that Ctrl is pressed while typing an email. This results in frequent missed characters and spurious actions, including moving focus to the search bar, archiving messages, saving the current message as a draft and closing it, etc. This makes OWA extremely frustrating to use. Another issue with OWA is the unhelpful completions (which I've noted before on HN), which in my experience seem to be related to the spurious actions (more suggested completions = more spurious actions)

Hi I am interested in how the git functionality works. How do you let the users deal with potential merge conflicts? How often do you commit and push? With every character that is typed or after the document is closed? Are branches used at all or do you stay on one main branch?
No, I mean "you work remote" as western guy (US, Europa) but you hire a guy in India or China by yourself. Instead you do your work, a guy with a lower salary does the job, you keep the difference and your company thinks you would do the work.

>Straw purchases... when someone else purchases a gun for you. Illegal in every state, and federally.

Nuance is required. In Florida, for example, it's legal for person to person private sale of firearms. There are restrictions that you're legally obligated to follow. Pulled this quick list from a search; https://www.pumphreylawfirm.com/blog/can-i-sell-a-gun-privat.... "Straw purchases" then means there has to be intent to provide it to someone free of charge (hard to prove) in addition to providing the firearm to someone for which it is illegal for them to own one. Otherwise it's merely a private sale.
Rule 1 of the moderator guidelines from here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-guidelines-for-...

Engage in Good Faith
Healthy communities are those where participants engage in good faith, and with an assumption of good faith for their co-collaborators. It’s not appropriate to attack your own users. Communities are active, in relation to their size and purpose, and where they are not, they are open to ideas and leadership that may make them more active.

The actual post that was removed on me was in r/toronto a story I told about helping a homeless man wandering down the middle of the street in downtown Toronto. It was supposed to be a discussion of things you've done in the city that make you feel good. Moderators removed it because it wasn't relevant to Toronto just because it happened in Toronto.

Visit r/toronto and you will see feel good stories like this all the time in the subreddit. I pointed this out to the admins and still got nowhere.

I also wanted to post "We should try UBI but you have to vote to qualify. Thoughts?" in r/onguardforthee but that was also removed for trolling. That subreddit has posts similar to that one all the time.

I was definitely treated unfairly and double standards were used against me because of my reputation. I don't troll though, I just enjoy having difficult and philosophical conversations, which is why I can see it's perceived as trolling. I enjoy challenging people to think. I would never say something I didn't believe.

The admins doing nothing about the abuse was the last straw that proved to me Reddit doesn't care about finding the truth.
On the user error bit, all I can say is that it is a trade-off. If you wait until your distribution does the hard work for you, by releasing the updated package, your experience will be far less painful than it is under competing operating systems. Of course, that does mean waiting.

If you think that those competing operating systems don't have usability problems, well, all I can say is that is far from the truth. I went through the process of setting up Windows the other day and found the software installation mind-bogglingly frustrating. In every case, I was scavenging websites for software. Some of those websites felt dubious. In the case of a couple of drivers, I was dealing with the equivalent of that .tar.bz2 file.

I'm not going to claim that the Linux world is perfect. I am going to claim that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence.

We completely need to look at suicides as well. At least 2/3 of suicides are based on a fleeting desire, which means interrupting the act without any other intervention will save a life. Making it harder to commit suicide with a gun could save 20k+ people a year. Which actually makes it (from a public health perspective) even more important than preventing all other forms of gun death.

Also, since I've never heard of this CDC study, you should provide a link if you plan to cite it. I think it's more common in your social circle/internet bubble than with the general population.
I couldn't disagree more. With respect, all of these arguments are specious and exist in the world of fantasy, not reality.

The "dependent on someone else" business is in fact the way the world works, with billions of people, trillions of capital, millions of businesses, deeply interconnected trade, etc etc.

In this reality, everyone has a few jobs that they perform, and many, many jobs they don't. Doing your job, and leaving other jobs to others, is what adults do.

Children are people who don't understand reality and live in their fantasies, dreaming about days that never come, inventing stories about the creatures in their minds, not living in the world.

The question of "who keeps the warriors in check" in fact empirically answers itself, every single day.

Similarly, every single act of civilian gun violence- so unique to the United States- is the evidence against any argument that there is a legitimate role for gun possession.

Finally, with respect to well armed neighbors- the data and logic and every ounce of decency know that a world where everyone has a gun is a world where everyone dies prematurely, violently, needlessly.

The magical thinking is yours. I hope that you come out of it some time. Cheers.

> Sure, they'll come looking for you. Registration and titling of cars just makes that even worse, not better, for innocent people who lend out cars.

Arguing against regular old accountability is not a good look.
> Makes unit testing easier

In what language? Unit testing uses whatever DB client comes with your stack, and those clients have generic interfaces.

For example, they will transparently decode UUIDs into strings when you read them, and then they will write them back as the database's UUID type when writing. As far as your code is concerned, they were always just strings.

The same is true of dates for mainstream, mature stacks.

> Stick to the commonly supported set of SQL data-types.

Postgres is among the most vanilla SQL implementations. UUID/GUID/uniqueidentifier is available in every modern SQL-based RDBMS.

Refusing to use the idioms of your database is a guaranteed way to lose performance for no reason.
Tesla P/E is at 94, Ford is at 4, so they are overvalued by quite a lot.

The interest rates will likely reach 3% by the end of the year, and may need to go all the way to 8% to have a meaningful effect on the inflation.

Every measurable economic metric suggests we are rolling full speed into a recession. And driving your old car for another year or two instead of upgrading to that nice luxury EV is one of the first things many people would do.

So, their sales will likely plummet. Taking on more debt will become quite expensive, and the share prices will very likely correct by a lot. They are doing everything well, if you ask me.

Only philosophical questions today! Who but the Walmart workers are Walmart? Of course the actions of their workers, in case they are fraudsters, are also the actions of Walmart, who graciously provided them it's infrastructure; it's complicity in the scam is what has to be established. In this case, the FTC found overt evidence that they were well aware of their complicity and chose to ignore it, across leadership. Hence this lawsuit.

This is an obvious and necessary outcome; otherwise you could very well excuse just about any failing as just the legal misdeed of an isolated employee.
> This isn't the topic of the article

Query planning seems like it should be the topic of the article. SQLite and PostgreSQL do their query planning very differently - not to mention that SQLAlchemy is probably generating different queries. I can't really fathom how one can meaningfully "evaluate the two databases head to head" while seeming to actively avoid how they plan/optimize/execute queries.
OK, so, why bother complaining about it? Use Linux if it does what you want, otherwise use macOS or Windows.
Nobody knows what kind of management we should have. Some people prefer directly distributing executables (AppImage). Some people prefer packages like Android/iOS (Flatpak). Some people prefer compressed files with installer scripts, like Microsoft's MSI files (.deb/.rpm). Some people prefer just a flat folder with binaries they can plonk down anywhere.

I personally prefer the distro-based approach, but for tools that need to be kept up to date independently of the rest of the system I'm a Flatpak fan.

People, collectives, and companies have preferences. There is no one single way.

In a similar vein, how do I distribute Windows software? Do I put it up on the Microsoft store, do I provide a download with instructions for my msix file or is appx more suitable for my use case? Do I add a compatibility layer for .exe to sacrifice the security sandboxing brings to make the file nice and clickable? Or do I use .msi to use the system UI that's easy to set up (but impossible to navigate for computer illiterate people). Or wait, maybe Steam and Epic Launcher are a better fit? Hell, maybe I can get away with uploading the APK to the Amazon App Store so I can target Android and Windows 11 in one go!

What about macOS? Mac Store, .dmg disk image, simple .zip file, or maybe a self-extracting installer? Do I need to include one of those weird screens that tells the user to drag an icon into a picture of a folder? That's what a lot of third party software had me do when I first tried it, though it took me a while to understand what it was asking of me!

Or is it better to use Brew/WinGet? It doesn't have the GUI, but it allows serious people to set up my software exactly how they like it.
Sounds like you and the OP agree, that Linux isn’t for everyone?
