If you have a charged ebike, it ought to be easy to charge your phone.

There are still other problems with that approach. VanMoof currently lets you unlock your phone with your bike, rather than requiring a constant connection, which seems like the right balance.

That’s only for non-shared (static) symbols though, if my understanding is correct.
So even if the ground forces continue to do poorly, what stops Russia from continuing to hit civilian targets with air strikes indefinitely until Ukraine is ready to negotiate?
> that's "deaths involving covid", not "from covid".

Unless they all would have died at that time regardless, in the absence of COVID, isn't this a distinction without relevance?
That's PascalCase. camelCase is like this.
> The names of the parties Republican & Democrat aren't just random words, they represent the philosophical differences in where the bulk of the power in government should rest

No, they don't. Also, the two original parties were the Democratic-Republican Party of Jefferson, Madison, et al., and the Federalist Party of Hamilton, Adams, etc al.

Both, BTW, favored what is, I modern terms, a democratic republic and a representative democracy, though the Federalists initially favored a stronger central seat of power and the Democratic-Republicans favored a weaker central seat of power, though the bigger divide quickly became over foreign policy.

The Republicans weren't a major party until after the Federalist Party collapsed leaving a brief period of unstable one-party domination, then the D-Rs fractured, leaving the Democrats and Whigs in the Second Party system, then the Whigs later collapsed and the Republicans and the Democrats formed the Third Party system with the most critical initial issue being over not abstract form of government but slavery. While the identity of the two major parties has been the same since, their political alignment has changed several times; we’re now in what is generally regarded as the Sixth Party system.
I just read your blog post and found it interesting; thanks for sharing it. I'm one of the co-founders at BoxyHQ, agree that there is more to it, enterprise requirements are always different, some certifications could be standard but if you double click each enterprise has its own complexities.

From our side, we have started with these features since we have seen they are common pain for early-stage startups, but in terms of our vision, we are focusing on developer-first security tools. And we believe that there are many opportunities to help close the gap between compliance and security.

Seems unfortunate to miss out on all the referential integrity benefits of a serious database when hiring standards, training and code reviews should all be preventing idiotic changes.

If I’m making a shopping cart system, I want to know every order line belongs to an order, every order belongs to a user and so on. Anyone who can’t be trusted to write an update statement certainly can’t be trusted to avoid creating a bunch of orphan records IMHO.
So we can't put a corporation in prison even though it's a person, and it's a notoriously difficult process to get CEOs and upper management indicted, so we fine them because it just gets things over with. What if we took "corporations are people" a bit further though. What if we "imprisoned" the corporation by not permitting it to do whatever line of work it was doing during the fraudulent phase for a period of years?

I sort through tons of crap on YouTube and curate my own music collection, and then host my picks on my own music site...

It's a ton of work, also needs a design update, but when I post there it's 1000x more fulfilling for me and far more visible than on any social site (at least for now). It's also pretty cool that I don't get banned just for sharing my own music on my own site, as opposed to what Reddit does.
I'm surprised C++ is still prominent. I thought Rust would have taken its place by now.
To my knowledge there is no evidence of widespread voter machine fraud. Perhaps it is unwise to spread ideas suggesting an election system could possibly be compromised
> Also thanks for adding sum types, and pattern matching, is there anyway you could get the dart team on board?

I'm driving the design of pattern matching for Dart. The entire language team is on board with them and we have a design that's pretty far along. It's really hard to integrate pattern matching into a language that wasn't originally designed for it, so it's taken a while to settle on a syntax that makes sense, but I think we're getting close.

If you'd like to be involved, there is a category on the issue tracker for design discussions related to patterns and records:

How to Win with Passive-Aggressive People
The initial complaint was that it did not have "good support." I think it is fair to say that having to spend a significant amount of effort to work around a lack of support is not "good support."
I'd argue that the simple `deleted_at IS NULL` check is not broken - unless your product / domain specifically allows and requires scheduled future deletions adding such logic can easily introduce bugs. For example, you could to get the comparison flipped by accident, and if it's only in one place out of many that bug could go unnoticed for a while.
This is the main thing - if there was a large demand for "cheap Disneylands" for the general public, someone would build them and snap up that group.

Queerphobia

It's not a good reason but it's common enough and the targets aren't typically in a strong position to fight it. Some homeless shelters will even kick queer people out if they get in. Look up the controversy around the Salvation Army.
Usually if you demand proof/documentation of service be mailed to you -- and you can document this request -- that will stand up later if they sue you or take you to collections. If they do respond via mail with a bogus bill documentation now they are looking at mail fraud which is a federal issue.

Not gonna reply to the dead comment, but I think it's worth noting that this particular posting is about a one-person startup. HN is centered on startup culture; this is clearly on-topic where more generic discussions about whatever subculture might not be. That said, it's pretty sad how much time this article spent flagged and how much subtle-to-blatant homo/transphobia even such a clearly on-topic posting picks up.

Someone important to me, who I love but watches a lot of Fox News always gives me the party line on this issue.

According to them, it's the fault of little fish we are trying to keep from going extinct by supplying it with precious freshwater. This is after far left environmentalists took over the Democrat party. Oh, and climate change is a hoax. This is just a normal drought.

I think it's actually a failure of political leadership. I'm not saying it's easy to get multiple states to respond to a crisis, but as long as it doesn't happen people continue to use water as they did before.
I work at smaller scale c++ than google and I found most of their proposals reasonable but undoable for practical reasons rather than first principles reasons. For instance compiler vendors who have a veto power over language changes strongly prefer not breaking ABI. ABI changes are fine if you build the world at every commit, but also if you don't have legacy. C++ users 200 years from now would most likely benefit from the things Google wishes it could do in the language but can't
Lets say you time some code, and get a nice Gaussian at around 1ms say, but with a smaller peak far to the right (ie +20ms or so). The second peak is because your thread got scheduled. You don't care about those samples, they don't matter.

Can't you just say those are outliers and not consider them? Ideally you'd build some bimodal model, but given that they don't matter, what's wrong with throwing away those samples?
A resume has one job, and one job only: to get you a face-to-face interview. It's a sales document, not simply a chronology of what you've done in your career.

Craft the document such that it presents you in the best possible light for the job you are seeking without lying.

Describe not only what you did, but what _benefit_ these actions had on the business, technology, team, etc. Provide facts, data or evidence if you can, rather than hand-waving.

Note also that resumes/CV have different conventions in different regions/countries - with the US favouring a much more precise format (one-pager) whereas Europe tends to go for no more than 3 pages.

Discord is a walled garden. You have to be a member to see content and posts.

Reddit often heavily moderates and even bans user accounts for wild reasons, even after years of putting work in to build subreddits.

Newer (and smaller) community ideas are long overdue. The big sites do not currently serve local communities and creators as well as small communities (without log-in walls) can.

Ella in Amsterdam: A VC Journey

Um, no. First: thermostats haven’t been around forever (they were popularized by Mark Honeywell in 1906, of Honeywell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_C._Honeywell). Second: autopilot wasn’t invented until 1914 (before computers). Third: the Wikipedia article you refer to totally aligns with what I’m claiming:

“An intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. Any system that has goal-directed behavior can be analyzed as an intelligent agent: something as simple as a thermostat, as complex as a human being, as well as large systems such as firms, biomes or nations. The intelligent agent paradigm became widely accepted during the 1990s, and currently serves as the definition of the field.”
Depends on how generously you define "working". No one has yet implemented even a single logical qubit.
By the time Win 95 rolled around, personal computers were well past the early stage, and the Z80 was neither underpowered nor a microcontroller. So I’m not sure what you’re saying, exactly.
Status (active/inactive/other) and existence (present or deleted) are very different things, they may be separated most of the time. Legal requirements can prevent deletion of inactive data, so in some cases one may have a lot of inactive but must keep data. Soft delete can help in some scenarios, for example you want to give people a way to re-activate accounts, but hide the ones marked as deleted.
I need a TL;DR.
How does this compare to https://bikeindex.org/ ?
I don't know why you're ragging on Node.js users or even PHP for that matter as both ecosystems have this stuff covered too.

Also you're comparing language/runtime with an actual framework and then dogging those users...

If you want to compare Rails with Node/PHP then I'd suggest comparing with things like Laravel (PHP), Adonis (Node) and you'll find everything you can do in Rails is done in Node/PHP too.
Kaist Shows Off DirectCXL Disaggregated Memory Prototype
Your aticle explains why not:

> Financial concerns may also deter investors from putting money into nuclear. Plants have vast up-front costs, and there is a long wait for profits due to lengthy development and construction times, particularly in comparison to renewables. Recent new-builds, including the Finland's Olkiluoto nuclear plant, France's Flamanville 3 and the U.K.'s Hinkley Point C, all suffered from huge delays and cost overruns.

> Such issues further complicate both efforts to raise investment for nuclear and policy makers' reliance on the technology to meet environmental goals.
“Please delete all my meta data” will become ambiguous. ;)
I’m not kidding. You’re putting way too much faith in the article, most swatting calls are not spoofed.

> I can’t call the cops from my phone and say I’m XYZ and have killed my girlfriend and am going to kill more people

You totally can. You think the cops won’t show up with force if they get a call from a voip number or prepaid sim? They will.

I’d argue that spoofing the victims number is in fact more likely to result in an unsuccessful swat, as the cops might end up calling you back and reaching the target.

Fuck, kids have been swatting each other using TTS relays since at least the early 2000s.
Drifto: Automate your user data pipelines
We've recently launched Drifto.

Drifto automates feature engineering over user events and transaction tables. Drifto aims to provide an automatic point-and-shoot experience: just point Drifto at any number of raw tables, and Drifto automatically combines the raw data into a large number of ML-ready features, aggregated for each ID (e.g. user) over a specified time window (e.g. weekly). Drifto supports workflows such as churn prediction, customer value estimation, anomaly detection, personalization, and demand sensing.

GitHub: https://github.com/drifto-ml/drifto
Website: https://www.driftoml.com

We’d love to hear any feedback around how we can better integrate with user data pipelines or thoughts in general.
Blind people who use screen readers usually turn up the speed to something unintelligible to the rest of us.

Maybe reading a computer screen is a simpler task than talking person to person, but it's an interesting datapoint!
Would love to hear more about the "framework for managing workflow / action assignment & tracking" that you are looking for. Could you please elaborate a bit more?
Apparently it cannot. But you can export to PDF and then send using an old fashioned email client.
> Humans really aren't that good at long-term planning, is one conclusion.

I think the problem is long-term co-operation rather than planning. The temptation of short-term gain is always too great for someone.
The benefit is then opening up the coupling to other clients.

Like how Reddit used to have tons of apps before they started locking down all new functionality.
Shouldn't we have more UFO records now that everyone carries a camera?
Air strikes have a poor record of causing capitulation, even when well-targeted against a nearly defenseless enemy. In the case of this conflict, Russia has not achieved air dominance, and appears reluctant to commit more stand-off weapons.
Soft deletes are really worth in the right scenario. There are cases when they can be avoided, cases when they are not worth and cases when they are worth, for the problems presented in the article there are solutions or workarounds.
Nim is even better at that, as it generates C/C++ code natively and compiles it using GCC.
We're well on our way to finding out. One of the transformers on the Hoover Dam blew up this morning; no interruption to water or electrical output, but a troubling reminder of the possibilities.
I worked at a place that kept all the deleted stuff in their main tables. It turned out over 90% of the rows were deleted. I'm not sure how often something was undeleted, but it was not very frequent. Some of these soft deleted rows were 5+ years old. Archive that crap.
In other words, crypto is not a real functional currency. Getting paid in it just introduces more drawbacks and complications than benefits.
I don't believe that Microsoft as a company has the soul to do anything but eventually destroy it by integrating and advertising office products on it if that happened. Actually, I'm pretty sure most companies would destroy it if it changed hands anyway, but it would be the end of the world if they allowed people to make TikToks with PowerPoint... The crashes alone would destroy America worse than China has so far.
How is the distinction meaningful? Would these people who "died with COVID, not from COVID" certainly still died if COVID hadn't been a thing?

This is indeed a problem with all indie developers, but look at it from another angle - what are you really losing if support stops? If you'd still be getting what you've paid for when support ends, then it's a lot easier to purchase this. Plus, presumably, while support lasts, you'd start getting more features on top of what you've paid for.

Authors could address concerns like yours by explaining what they would do if they decide to end support.
It's very very rare that decreasing demand increases the cost of something, unless it's been entirely replaced by something else (e.g. horse carriages vs. cars), which -- when it does happen -- is mostly due to supply side reconfiguration that leads to higher marginal costs.

So no, I don't think your causal direction is plausible without strong corroborating evidence.
College baseball also hasn't been forced to be the minor leagues like college football has; some say that many of the college students playing foot ball aren't really uh... college material either.
It appears that most of their contributions were to the XFS filesystem. Which means it is not used by "everyone" in a very similar sense to the way in which hardware drivers are not.

I suspect that if "core" were defined to exclude hardware _and_ filesystem independent changes Oracle would not have been at the top of the list.

Oracle was the company that completely open-sourced OpenJDK and even their own paid support JDK is just a minor modification of the former. Java and the JVM is also among the few languages/platforms with separate specifications, and multiple completely independent implementations.

If anything, Java is a much much safer bet than the oligopoly of WebKit/Blink.
If I'm only hauling a few sheets than I leave the tailgate gate up and lean the board on it. Straps can't hold just a few sheets very well laying flat unless the attachment points are significantly lower. I learned this the hard way when I had to pick up a couple sheets of plywood off the highway. The other option is to lay a few 2x4s under it to raise the sheets and give the straps a better capability to hold.
Then they can't call it a REST API: it's not programmatic, so it's not an API

It’s hard to get adoption for expensive toys.

I think Datomic is neat, and I’d like to use it, but it is prohibitively expensive for a personal or hobby project. Personal projects are where I get excited about tech, and when I’m excited I’m more likely to adopt it in my day job.

My neighborhood is the same. The ground and site prep out at DIA the Civil Engineer friend told me about took things like that into account.

I for one have had much of the cement replaced around my house (some more than once) and when I had the driveway redone, explicitly asked them to mitigate against the clay with whatever they had that made sense. I forget what all they had extra in the proposal that I approved (it was 10+ yrs ago) but my new driveway isn't having any issue while some neighbor's new ones are already cracked again.
Humans are actually pretty good at long term planning. What we’re not good at is solving externalities. The problem with water usage is that we haven’t created a system that aligns incentives with our goals. Why would any farmer conserve water when they think the farm next door isn’t? Since water is a shared resource if you don’t use it someone else will.
more computer literate than the generations both preceding and, to the confusion of the aforementioned pundits, succeeding us.

This is the most terrifying thing to me. I spent my early adulthood watching all my leisure activity interests like sci-fi, videogames, superheroes, the web, etc go far more mainstream than I could've imagined without bringing along the behaviors they fostered. How can someone spend five hours a day online without caring how it works? It's like being a professional chef without knowing what a farm is. I expected the youth of today to be technological wizards, not a bunch of trained monkeys.
The first image actually provides a very good TL;DR. Here it is, OCR’d by my phone:

> We will need a full suite of camera products as well as more
traditional security products to succeed in the home
protection market segment. Given our current position and
desire to get a complete solution in a short amount of time,
we believe that M&A is the best option to accelerate our
progress. No single company would put us in a leadership
position in the all of the areas where we are behind and need
to accelerate. However, Ring and Blink each provide an
opportunity to expand our offering and increase the likelihood of succeeding in cameras and home protection. We think that both have merit and are worth pursuing independently
Yeah, I strongly advise ALWAYS using a virtualenv for any Python project. It's pretty much always a good idea.
That's a minuscule amount spread over 10 years for the huge markets watched by SEC. SEC probably should have done more to encourage more whistleblowers coming forward.
tldr; they have cameras, we want cameras, we should buy them

1. Amazon would like to compete in home security, cameras, and doorbell cameras.

2. Amazon could build these themselves, but it'd be time consuming and costly.

3. Amazon would like to act fast.

4. Ring and Blink have wireless cameras and doorbells and they believe this is where the market is headed.

That's about it, tbh. There's some stuff in there about how commoditized the hardware is and some fairly obvious details about the Ring and Blink business themselves, but its all fairly self-evident.
