It's a very good question. The answer is that when people do data analytics they often also need full-text search, otherwise it may just be too slow to scan through all your terabytes of strings using LIKE or REGEXP. You need some indexes to make it faster. Indexes for strings is what's partly full-text search is.

That's why Clickhouse can be integrated with Quickwit, for example.

Manticore aims to be a good full-text search engine + can process large data volume that doesn't fit into RAM with help of the columnar storage.
I do the same. Focus modes on iOS are a really good addition!
When the term 'continuous integration' was originally conceived, the point was to avoid branching altogether. It was not features branches that was the problem (there was no such thing at the time), the problem was synchronising work between groups that were working on different parts of the same application.

So the original CI server concept was that everyone would get a nightly update. Having a branch run for even 2-3 weeks means that you are not practicing continuous integration ... as originally conceived.

I'm not convinced that it's a good thing that you and so many others have stopped questioning feature branching.
I think it's simply that when things are bad, It's easy to know what to, what the immediate goal should be, easy to agree what's wrong and what would be better.

When things are not so bad, it's not as clear what is still wrong and what would be progress, and everyone disagrees and those disagreements become the new worst thing.

Well, the linked study[1] does note an anglo-saxon bias:

> We document an Anglo-Saxon bias present in the English edition of Wikipedia, and document when it matters and when not.

Regardless of these biases, Europe has much more historical background than the US.

Finally, this data is based upon Wikipedia and Wikidata. I gather datasets from India or China would provide much different results.

Interesting project nonetheless!

As long as people are unwilling to pay for social media the Insta's and Tiktok's will have to make money with ads which leads to data collection.

Make no mistake the very fact that these services are free lead to their popularity.
I have not wantonly applied Hanlon's razor. You missed the first part where I said that TikTok is the same in every non-Chinese market. Friend or foe. There is no targeted attack towards America. They simply do not care about non-Chinese kids at all.

Obviously China does care about the Chinese internet, it is heavily censored as we all know. But it is a giant leap from "China censors Chinese-TikTok" to "China is trying to make American kids stupid with dance videos". The corollary is that the people claiming this want China to heavily censor American TikTok so that it is more like Chinese TikTok!
I don't think they're extinct at all. Maybe in businesses where the product ('service' if you will) is highly or completely network oriented, you can get the fusion of back-end/network-facing that seems to be attracting the term DevOps, but in a lot of businesses where the products are actual products, it seems useful to keep the distinction between engineers who develop product and the SysAdmins who keep the company infrastructure intact. Granted the latter model gets blurry when the product is something that, once delivered, will be in contact with the wild internet - but the difference is still there, in that sure the engineers need to worry about some of the traditional SysAdmin concerns, but the actual SysAdmins are the people that are going to "come in" when it's your company's own computers need attention. And that's worthy of some appreciation. Thanks for all you do, SysAdmins!
> in its entry model, low cost (USD 429).

The iPhone SE isn't "low cost" considering the alternatives from android land, and the disappointing battery life. I think a big reason this phone is so well liked on here is the general woeful state of the budget, compact phone market.

With LG gone, Google Nexus gone, HTC gone, OnePlus's descent into mediocrity, and Motorola churning out huge phone after huge phone, options are slim. The new Zenfone 9 looks solid, but that's a flagship phone. I hope they release a smaller, more-budget focused version next.

This is precisely how I read it too. The microsecond I hear a person say “AI” or “ML”, I’m thinking “oh ok so it’s untraceable, non-deterministic bullshit I’m gonna be held responsible for if I approve this.”

Probably still net profitable to continue using this marketing language. Certainly does me a favor too.

Less discussed but similarly controlling of your life are all the nasty visual tricks apps and services use to grab your attention (bright red notification bubbles) or to annoy you into submission (so you download their mobile app or upgrade to pro).

I've gone the extra mile and set my phone to be entirely in grayscale, and have never been happier.

The original SE is still kicking. If not for the battery, I'd stick to it for another 3-5 years.
I would still argue it didn't. It worked alright and created long lasting communities that still miss the platform.
Of course, it did not kill facebook, but that seemed always like a laughable short term goal.

Everything else was just googles M.O., wasn't it? Create new shiny platform, rebuild everything around it, annoying a lot of people but also creating some value for those that opt in. Than never address the issues that arise, change strategy midway and remove all integrations, but maybe create new ones when you do the inescapable surface-level redesign that only creates more issues than addressing existing ones (Because now there is a new "strategy"). Repeat until product is canceled.
Actually, no they are not, generally.

There is no duty to provide evidence of a crime to law enforcement in the US, anyway - merely to comply with warrants or the like, if issued. There is a difference.

It is also not illegal to hide money - just illegal to not pay taxes due. There is also a difference there too.
Ah yes, sorry, I was unclear in my original comment.

Yes. I use it as a replacement for sphinx when it went closed. Very impressed with the documentation, the support on slack. It’s much faster than the last version of sphinx and more stable for me. This is searching over 300 million documents about 1TB in size.

Is it a replacement for elasticsearch? Maybe. Depends on your search requirements. I prefer elastic when you have power users needing to search over specific fields, and all of the syntax that it gives you. For a plain text box you want people to type terms into though manticore is much easier to configure.

Scaling is not a good as elastic currently but you don’t need it as soon due to its lower footprint.

That said I’m about to replace it with my own custom index, but that’s not because manticore is a problem. Just that I can do better for my specific use case. I’m abusing manticore in ways it’s not happy about. For other projects I’d happily use it again.

Sure. But there are also plenty of very necessary jobs which are not permanently engaging.

Airline pilots tend to do love aviating, but spend most of their flight standing by in case the autopilot goes awry. Most medical doctors don't have a massive catastrophe happening around them all of the time. Artisan bakers still have to knead dough.

No, they're not all improving.

Topsoil exhaustion and poisoning is global. Freshwater scarcity is much worse in China and the Subcontinent than in the USA. Antibiotic resistance is world-wide. Destruction of rainforests: likewise. Female literacy is declining in developing countries, despite more time spent in "school".
100% agree and I think the same issues apply. For our search algorithms we learned how to handle local minima etc.. I just wonder if those solutions apply to data driven companies since the iteration speed and failure cost is so much higher. I'm afraid good intuition will outperform this on the long run.
I think social media gives a distorted view given anyone you see has little problem with it. I've met a lot of people (out in the real world) who express disinterest in starting/restarting because of all these little razor cuts and extremely vague upside. In the early noughts, a lot more people expressed regrets like limited computer skills or some other personal limitation as a reason they felt left behind or less involved instead of having a reason they chose not to opt-in.
I know it will never happen, but I would love a resurgence of micro-blogs.

All this talk of decentralised social media and all these new solutions, just to full circle back to self-hosted personal blogs.

I feel like in the tech circle they never left, but they aren't consumed by the general population.

Say you have a product, and you add no new features (you fix some bugs and patch for security). The interest payments are a lot less than if you are actively developing new features and therefore adding complexity.

So it is dynamic in a way that normal debt isn’t.

It can be worse than debt or not as bad depending on the nature of the debt and its consequences.

If you have something written in OG Perl and and the messyness makes all your devs leave and you cant find anyone with skills that can be really bad! Although only if that product is your ownly source of revenue.

Say like many small companies trying to make it big you have “bread and butter” product A and “next gen unicorn” product B.

If B is far along and customers transitioning from A to B then tech debt on A is less expensive than if B is stalled and in a quagmire.
That's Asus for you, horrible software combined with faulty hardware, but hey it has great specs and gets nice reviews since reviewers test it only for couple of days and no need to deal with quality issues after few months...
I don't think we need to think of it on the basis of blame at all, on the societal level. Individually, I think you have a better life if you have or learn conscious control of your attention. But on a large scale, if the population doesn't have immunity, it is a problem to deal with somehow. Either by "engaging" or changing the structures of institutions. But we have to have some methods of doing this, which are hard to come by when the problems are new.

The methods of engaging me employed by modern video games and fast-cut video platforms seem off-putting to me. More importantly I don't see how we can do anything meaningful when communicating like this. Life is largely search, not only exploitation of rewards.

If I was a teacher maybe I'd come up with some strategy, probably a compromise, but don't treat it as a thing they don't do just because they're lazy. It's like expecting that all people will deal with smog by designing and building their own air cleaning devices.
This would hit physical limits with MIDI 1.x, since you would then have to somehow transpose down the music (to correct for the transpose up because of the much faster playback speed) which would cause a greatly reduced quality (or not work at all) since the frequency range by MIDI expanders and audio equipment was less than 20kHz. And the auditory masikng caused by the ear sets yet another limit.
> The iPhone SE isn't "low cost" considering the alternatives from android land

It absolutely is. The cost is still relative to how much marginally better flagships cost, not to how much a significantly worse barely-smartphone costs.

If Cambridge Analytica is "a glimpse of what unfettered (direct) democracy actually looks like" , then yes. Social media is a mass controll platform.

Sorry to bother you, but I read this comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31101384) and I was wondering myself: how did XP managed to have the transparent rounded corners? AFAIK, it doesn't use any compositing, yet the system is able to tell what should be "behind" the window to whatever that was in the transparent regions of the corners. The same thing applies (I guess) to the shadows of the right-click menus.
Focus mode in iOS and Mac OS was a blessing for me. Easily one of the most underrated features from apple.

This is somewhat wrong.
You have to serve R2 Objects via a Worker which will cost you something per hit.

Larry Marshal gave a pretty good speech at the National Press Club to release this report.
If you listen close, he talks about being at the beach in the future, when the beach now starts a few streets back from where it is today. You then get a message from your watch that lets you know you've gotten to much heat exposure and need to cool down. So you take a swim.

I found some of the imagery pretty sad to be honest.

I think it was lost on the journalists in the room what he was saying. Wet Bulb temperatures are going to kill people all the time. So much so, that being at the beach may be lethal. And anyone who owns land on the beach is going to not own land anymore in the future.

Also I'll be 150 before aggressive actions today results in a better climate, so....

I hope Australian can take the opportunity up to become a renewable super power. Seems like we'll just be leaving money on the table if we don't.

The best iPhone, or Android phone, you can get is the one you inherit for free from a family member or a friend.

It works just fine, and will probably serve me for 3 more years before I need to upgrade again.

On Android I use Do Not Disturb mode but people I really need to hear from (like my elderly mum) are put on a starred list and they get through[1].

I can then turn it off, have all the cached notifications appear, deal with them and then switch on Do Not Disturb again.

> That doesn't sound waterfall-y at all. Sounds like an iterative approach to me.

I think you missed the crux of the issue: in a lot of companies, Agile is definitely waterfall-ish, with a lot of pre-planning, design working a few sprints in advance, a lot of "getting it perfect" during PR reviews, no follow-up, no evaluating the work midway, no admitting failure and reverting it before finished, etc.

> Having roles for operations is not incompatible with DevOps at all.

I think you also missed the problem on this one. If you have "roles for operations" that doesn't involve development, it's not a devops role, it's just an operations role. Sure you can have devops in the mix, but someone doing operations exclusively isn't devops.
Tech has declined in later years. Instead of updating a tiny cursor we update the whole screen.
There is a middle ground, and understanding it requires detangling the nature of notifications by urgency and relevance:

* urgent and relevant: enabled, show me this now. examples are: IM and phone calls and earthquake monitors
* urgent and non-relevant: "sale ends in 5 mins!!"
* non-urgent but relevant: "your package has been delivered to your mailbox". Use an app like Daywise to BATCH these notifications to arrive at X hour intervals, so you're only checking 24/x times a day
* non-urgent non-relevant: disable all these
Not the person to whom you’re replying, but I think they mean many English speakers misspell the word with only one “s”: “mispell” (sic), “mispelled” (sic), etc.

By the way (as if my original comment above isn't already nitpicky enough, this is even worse...):

It bugs me when people use the word "optimal" in the Gaussian / Bayesian formulation. As the top-level comment above says, if you assume the various prior and conditional distributions are Gaussian then the posterior distribution is Gaussian too. This is not optimal, it's exact, just like you wouldn't say x=2 is optimal solution to x+1=3.

It is the optimal solution in the quadratic optimisation formulation, as the top-level comment also correctly said.

Tau ("the Song with 6.28318 Million Notes") is an extreme example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0gyQMJHQ78

I like the "no arts" version that removes silent notes, as it makes it more enjoyable (for me!) to follow what's happening : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcfmPZVqVtw

However, one other interesting aspect of a song like Tau is the "performance" of playing these note-heavy midis. You are effectively recording a live performance of your computer processing/performing the midi file, it is not like playing a recording.

This implies that for a good portion of black midi history, it was not possible for most computers to play those files without screen freezes, heavy skipping notes, and then recovering after the hard portion has passed.

It was/is necessary to overclock CPUs to avoid or minimize these artifacts on songs like Tau.

And it can be said that screen freezes/note skips are integral parts of the performance. At least that's my take and I really do enjoy seeing the computer almost giving up to then recover and finish the song.
I started to eliminate notifications from my life when a sound enabled banner notification from a keyboard I had installed on my android phone wanted me to know about all the great features of the keyboard app going from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 (or whatever minor version).

Anyway, I disabled everywhere except calendar alerts, alarm clock app, and a "favorites" list that is exempt from DnD in my phone.

My preference is for technology to be a tool that I use when I want. It is here for me not the other way around.
