I'm agnostic but have come to believe in Buddhist beliefs here.

Life is suffering. You can literally only live by causing suffering in other living plants/animals. Therefore to live a happy life, you must come to terms with this and attempt to cause as little unnecessary suffering as possible.

Therefore if there is a God, they are either an impersonal one (think mother nature instead of the Christian god), or their understanding/views are so removed from our own that we have completely misunderstood and guidance they have tried to give us.

I lean toward the first view. Anything capable of creating the universe might be interested in us, but I highly doubt we’re their only (or even primary) interest.

> I did my PhD at the French nuclear energy agency

Cheers from Saclay! :)

To be fair, Germans always (in the recent past anyway) cared more about environment issues in general. Recycling, cycling instead of driving, things like that. It was not mainstream in France until fairly recently. But yeah, the lack of understanding of scientific and technical aspects of energy production from a supposed nation of engineers is disturbing.
ed is surprisingly usable (and useful, and fun to use), you should try it.

This is like saying "There is no reason to use UNIX (now that we have Ubuntu, Gnome, and Wayland)." Personally, I tend to stick with the CLI for as long as it gets me where I need.
I know it's not what you are going for, but this reads like the opening to a dystopian novel - maximum control over our impulses leads to maximum coordination but at what cost? Without some disorder there is only incremental advancement and life is boring. This isn't universally good.

I wish the Cambridge Analytica FUD would stop. CA's "attack" was to setup a malicious website that convinced idiots to give it access to their Facebook account using the standard oAuth2 flow.

Did they misuse the collected data? Sure. But people granted access to that data knowingly. This wasn't really an attack in my view.

Facebook wasn’t really complicit and definitely didn’t sell/give away any data.

Yes. Fedora and Ubuntu are both Wayland by default now. I've been using Wayland for years now and it's pretty rock solid at this point.

Hi, my name is Vedran, and I represent a small high-grade web consultancy team with extensive experience in architecting, building, and managing large custom-made applications.

A recent project we built is a small ticketing app Shindig (read more here: https://bytecode.hr/projects/shindig) for exclusive events, battle-tested at a Fly Over event in Northern Croatia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHy33FWfZ0c). Check out our current projects: https://bytecode.hr/.

Throughout the last decade, we made Airbnb-like platforms, music streaming apps, healthcare/finance/construction apps, real-time GPS vehicle tracking suites, worked on core systems of big data platforms (millions of daily transactions) and more. We mainly collaborate with companies but also have a lot of positive experiences working with non-technical founders. We are searching for greenfield projects with a budget that we will build using Ruby On Rails and React. We are also looking to develop some small WordPress sites.

We are also using some no-code platforms like SupaBase and Webflow

I think the rule should be "Try not to repeat yourself"

Rules are like alarms they draw our attention to some peculiar condition which gives us pause to think about if it's kosher and if not why not.

Git is an abstraction over file trees (or even more generally just chunks of data), and it turns out a ton of problems in software are easily modeled and dealt with as files in a tree.
I'll claim the only universal truth in programming as in anything is: "moderation", and it's corollary, "there is no silver bullet". They are all rules of thumb, and knowing when to apply them is the most important aspect of rules.

In this case, unit tests are a very reasonable place to "repeat yourself", so you don't have to figure out what it's actually doing. Seeing the code all in place makes life easier.
I disagree precisely for the simple reason that these businesses are using Meta's weapon against them. It will be an interesting battle to watch - and if my memory doesn't fail me, LinkedIn lost one already. The more the press writes about it, the better: (ordinary) people will sooner or later see through their doublespeak and realize what is at stake.
It produces one quarter the CO2 compared to oil, so as long as we're burning oil, it makes sense to increase gas usage - especially since it requires almost no additional capital investment.

I'm not sure cars as an example work for health care. Each model has orders of magnitude less complexity, it's not living tissue, and variability within a model is very small. And it's all logically engineered instead of the mess that is biological systems (I have a small bit of background in life sciences - only studies, not work). But that's only an aside that I don't want to concentrate on.

> a free market cannot arise

A free market is not the best model I think, because even if you had perfect price transparency, people don't have nearly enough knowledge to evaluate the suggestions of doctors. Sure, they will select one the like more, but base don superficial information, not based on actual medical knowledge. For some truly "free market" you really want easily comparable and quite equal things to shop for. Medicine is too individual. Yes I know the desired model is you go in with your list of symptoms, get a few tests based on it, then an algorithm, right now in an MDs head, selects the appropriate treatment - time for the next patient in the overcrowded waiting area. It seems to me, and I had personal experiences with this model's limitations too, that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with this model not least with burned out medical professionals. But it sure is something the business-minds like, you can optimize processes and manage the heck out of such a system beautifully.

I - German (but I lived in the US for a decade and also had a bit of regular contact with various health providers, such as Stanford hospital or a Berkeley orthodontist for minor - and predictable, as you say - stuff like straightening teeth and hypo-sensitization) - am certainly not against a free-market component. I grew up in the GDR and we had a small bit of it even there! As a child my parents and grand parents actually did shop around for some specialists for some very reasonable amount of money, for my eyes for example (it worked out great, I stopped needing glasses as a late teenager, I ran around with one side of the glasses covered for a few years very early in childhood, for example, to strengthen one eye).

I think a little bit of that helps to reward those who care a bit more about their health and go about looking for solutions to problems more diligently and intelligently than others who just go with the flow. But I think this works best in small doses, not with the entire system set up this way.
I've been a part of two publishing startups. We were 80% attitude, but without that 20% of business savvy, we would have never gotten out of our "sitting around the cafe being too cool" phase.

True. But I take after Alain, in that I do not cite any sources and expect you to believe whatever I say.

> the mass creation of accounts solely for scraping purposes.

Those accounts wouldn't be allowed to view private data though unless they friend/follow the person first, so they'll only still be limited to data the account holders intend to be public and available to anyone.

There's also no evidence that the scraped data was aggregated at scale or commingled in any way, so even if customers provided their actual credentials which grant them access to private data of their friends, the scraper didn't share it with anyone else but them.

From my perspective watching their marketing, Magic Leap did over-hype / under-define the product's utility. Their original use-case appeared to be everything and their tech predictably missed it.

Contrast to the tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4f8ZZv_j_c&t=3390s that Karl G appears to give kudos to on his site https://kguttag.com/2021/11/19/awe-2021-part-1-tilt-5-was-ma.... It has a rough-edge which is overtly used as a product attribute: the "game board" is required ... detail: it is made of the common micro-spherical retro-reflective (road-sign) surface, leading to a relatively low $400 barrier-to-entry. These trade-offs appear to be smart.

Q: How did Tilt5 take the "smart" path and Magic Leap the "way of pain?" (whimsy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCNEzFpIrP8)
> The majority of healthcare is for routine and known in advance procedures

Yes what kind of procedure is needed often is known in advance. The details often only emerge after it's been started though. Just because it's routine does not at all mean it's all predictably-in-advance the same throughout, except for really basic stuff, which in turn is unlikely to be the big cost driver.
> In France, top positions in the administration are usually filled by people that are technically excellent and have gone through the system of grandes écoles (ENS, ENA, X, ...), whereas in Germany most people rise through social engineering and party politics and most top positions in the administration are filled by people with law degrees that don't have a clue about technology [..]

Would one really claim France is succeeding at a national level in the technology space due to all those excellent technically-trained administrators?

> In my opinion that's also a reason why we completely fail in everything regarding digitalization, lawyers are simply not good technical problem solvers

Why are administrators supposed to be the ones actually solving technical problems? Aren't government administrators more likely to be reading and writing plans and contracts (which trained [ex-]lawyers must have _some_ useful skills...)?
HTTP/1.1 has a limit, set by each individual browser vendor, for the maximum number of connections between a client and a unique server domain. So, if you exceed 6 simultaneous connections to that server (across multiple tabs and windows), it will move the request to a stalled state (like a queue) until one request is completed.

Best solution today is to move to http2 on your server -- which has an SSL (TLS 1.2) requirement.

Looks like pocketbase implements this. If you use another server, like nginx, you have to enable this for each site.

The answer to this question is always yes. In this case for example: plenty of old control devices in industrial settings are still operating and use this bitrate.

By default PocketBase uses the local filesystem, but you could also configure a S3 compatible storage (AWS, DigitalOcean, Vultr, etc.) from "Settings > Files Storage > Use S3 storage".

I've started working on the project ~ 3-4 months ago. The last 4 weeks I've taken a longer break from my day-to-day job so that I could finalize the first release.
Exactly. Your list of friends does not belong to Facebook, it belongs to you.

I am sure Facebook believes they deserve a monopoly for having obtained it first. They do not. The market forces you to compete for every dollar you earn, so you have every right to expect Facebook to compete for every dollar they earn, and "I touched it first therefore it's mine!" is not competition.
> So... That's a no?

It's also a clarification between "I would like to, but no thanks due to these other circumstances, maybe another time" vs "No, would not like to, probably not ever." It's also giving you the opportunity to counter-offer, as it were: if you're not particularly hungry either, so maybe something more like a small appetizer and a drink?

Plus a million other options, of course.

It's not really a yes or no question to begin with, even if you're thinking of it that way.
Very nice, whats planned next?

It must coincide with Christopher Wray's sudden claim that there is an active dragnet of sorts that is trying to subvert America from within much like the recent election interference of a former Tianmen square activist who tried to run for congress I think.

It makes me think that there are many people on CCP's dole, rich powerful famous people are somehow beholden to the CCP in some unknown way but we can all guess correctly that they are all old white men who have previously been seen with young females.
I think it's an easier pointer to the concept for people who aren't already familiar with it. It actually came up the other day when I was talking to a junior dev who'd written a benchmark by copy-pasting the entire test harness; they couldn't get their head around my explanations of why centralized responsibility is important (although maybe I was doing a bad job) but once I mentioned DRY the pieces seemed to click into place.

There is a structural element to consider since PE has raised huge amounts of dry powder and will continue to do so....which means there is huge demand from committed capital that has to be invested...not sure it will go away any time soon since the dry powder will help support valuations to a certain extent even if they come down with higher interest rates.
True b ut it's still good and fun to discuss whether the best practices could be improved even further. And usually they can because they are context-dependent. There are no absolute rules, except those imposed by the compiler.
My head isn't in the sand.

I saw Wayland was inevitable.

I worried about dealing with the complexity it added to my existing workflows.

I thought "fuck this" and switched back to Windows after almost a decade of Linux.

Now I don't think about Wayland v X unless I want to.

That's not the way everyone can solve their problems.

And certainly not the way everyone should.

It's just what works on my machine.

Bonus, Windows has a more robust security model than X, so hence solves the same issues as Wayland.

YMMV.

Does it go into detail about the actual meaning of "publicly accessible"? Because most content on Facebook/Instagram requires any valid login (as opposed to a specific account) and that data people intend to be public (especially on Insta).

In this case, the account requirement would be a technicality and the data, for all intents and purposes, would still be considered "publicly accessible" if anyone with an account can access it.

This is probably one of my favorite activities in foreign cities - walk or take public transportation aimlessly for a few hours. Buy a snack that catches my eye, or find a cafe or pub to linger at long enough to see the ebb and flow of foot traffic.

Directed tourism is fine, but seeing a few randomly sampled slices of a culture and place gives the experience 'roots' for me in some intangible way.
Sometimes bad things turn out to be good things. But most often, they are not.
I heard someone call Germany the "California of Europe" for this reason. It's simultaneously full of high-tech and engineers yet paradoxically also full of alternative-medicine quackery and anti-science viewpoints on things like nuclear power.

AFAIK there's a weird through-line here where California new age and 70s "new left" ideology has some of its roots in the same early 20th century romanticism that was and I'm sure in various forms still is popular in Germany. Look up the Volkisch movement:

Doing nothing is still a choice, and will result in their stake being slashed in the non censored "fork". If socially the non censored chain is deemed legitimate, this is a negative outcome that cannot be undone - hence a "commitment".

Without slashing, miners do not have to make any commitments - their funds are duplicated in both chains and they can switch to mining whenever they like.

Does it render pages automatically based on Schema? I see your really simple example under examples, and its so minimal I want to think you just get all the tables and render views from that. Am I crazy? If so this is really neat.

Did you ever consider using something like GORM? Because I could see this working with other databases and being extremely useful. I use Django to build really quick CRUD interfaces, but sometimes I need to be able to customize it more, and the admin UI is not as extensible as I would normally want, they even suggest you just build custom pages if its not doing what you need, which is a bummer because Django Admin covers the majority of my use cases.

This is a classic and efficient way to allow people to visit Venice.

If you are early or come at a slow time the price is low, if the number of people increases, so do the price. So it's not a first come first serve, but an actual price of demand.

Virginia did that on a highway used by commuters to get into D.C. where they want a minimum travel speed of 40 mph (might be lower) and the more people get into it, the more the price rise. From $1, up to $30 on a rare occasion.
