Big shout out to Brian Olsen from the Trino community (and Starburst) for helping the Trino community be successful

I recommend the Trino Slack for people not already in it: https://trino.io/slack.html
This sounds as if people in the less developed world are somehow mentally challenged. What an odd comment tbh.
i will just point out the mild irony of most of us discovering this blogpost... on HN
Yes ... Starburst Enterprise, which is a commercial distribution of Trino, can in fact also query Snowflake, but also Delta Lake and many many other systems at the same time.
>First, this is true, but also misleading

I dont even think it is true if you ignore population.

If you add up the developed and developing countries, I think the developed countries still emit more.
"It's time for..."

Good grief. Pretentious much?
This is just too much of insanity I can witness today.
I spent the past 10 minutes figuring out what to search for (C is very rusty here) regarding C arrays and initialization. Now that you point it out, it seems obvious. It certainly wasn't obvious when I read it though. This is some really obtuse use of a language here - hilariously so really. The code in the array is executed as a function that determines the array size and I see that now - thanks. If someone on my team did this for any reason I'm not sure If Id shoot them or put them in charge of something more important. If no other thing - THIS is why code reviews exist. Still it's an impressive use of a compiler. Thanks for nit picking - this has been very entertaining!

Full disclosure I work at Starburst.
Scammers are already scum enough, but when people take advantage of others who aren't fully able to understand they're being taken advantage of (whether that's kids, seniors, developmentally challenged folks, people with a language or cultural barrier, or any other) -- those people deserve to be tossed into a pit of scorpions and stung for all eternity while their victims come to them, one by one, and mock them with jeers of "if you just do what I say, I promise, we'll remove a scorpion", followed by tossing another in the pit.

...I hate demons like this. Sorry, that was rude to demons.
This is an interesting take on conservatism. I suppose it must be a fairly common take among people who consider themselves progressive, and helps makes sense of some things I've observed recently.

I consider myself generally conservative but would sum up my outlook more along the lines of "change isn't necessarily/automatically good" than "the past was right". Chesterton's Fence etc.
The party holds a simple majority (~ 55%) in the Lower House, while the alliance holds a near super majority (~ 63%) - the Indian system holds a super majority at 2/3rds of each house present and voting, not the total membership of the house.

The alliance does not hold the upper house, though they have a near simple majority.

See my post in this thread regarding Planimeter Game Engine 2D. Planimeter ships the largest pure-Lua 2D game engine on GitHub.

Features: https://github.com/Planimeter/game-engine-2d#features

We integrate with Tiled, and feature multiplayer with client-side prediction out of the box.
That's a very sad way to view the world and people.
Unfortunately it was a couple weeks, not a day. And it’s pretty cheap, only $110/month for Starlink compared to $50/month for a T-Mobile hotspot that didn’t help at all during the outage.
It isn't a majority of stores or anything, however there are enough places that I've started to notice.

I wonder if the move away from cash is an attempt to reduce the risk of theft, but I have no direct knowledge of the situation.

Even the local (large, very large) Chinese supermarket is mostly cash-less. I presume technically they take cash, but every checkout line that is staffed says "card only".
For me pen and paper being beneficial is a strong signal of an interesting project.

A large part of day-job work doesn't deserve the pen and paper - We just need to track TODOs, links and some other bullet points for them. Digital tools are very good at these because it's optimized for them.

On the other hand, if a problem demands the flexibility and the visual capacity of the pen and paper, it's a good sign of the sufficiently large intellectual problem space it contains.
Thanks for the shoutout! :)

As you point out, VLAs in C are evaluated at run time too, making it very similar to abusing default arguments.
As someone who has done a PhD in gravitational dynamics I think I can say that there are probably only a few dozen people in the world who can comment intelligently on this paper.
Makes sense, but if there is a slack channel where people are supposed to be responsive and answer technical questions, then that's value beyond just material and course work.
And given there is a community, if you set the price too low you start to get spammers and people that are not truly interested in the content, bringing down the value of the community in the first place.
I think the price is fair.
BigQuery very recently announced their Storage Write API which is one of the ways we were looking to implement this but there are some issues with the latency and consistency guarantees that it offers.

But, yes, we do plan to add that eventually after ironing out all the kinks. See https://github.com/trinodb/trino/pull/13094
The amino acid and lipid profiles of any single plant species are not sufficient to meet the full spectrum of human nutritional needs, so if they can do that with a single organism, it's a win. Also, most of the dry plant matter consists of cellulose that humans can't digest, so eliminating that is maybe a win? I don't know, because much of it can still be used as dietary fiber to nourish our gut microbiome, even though we can't use it for energy. I guess another factor is plants may only sprout whatever part of it we can eat seasonally, that is, seeds, roots, fruits, whatever it is may not be a permanent feature of every lifecycle stage.

You can read about what happened to the London underground over the years.

Except the process has been sort of reversed: there was heat being introduced into the deep layers of clay and rock.

If you want to be as green as possible with today's technology the holy grail is probably LPG derived from nuclear reactor powered atmospheric carbon capture. Existing fueling infrastructure is used, low vehicle emissions since it's not a liquid when injected, retrofit is possible for every vehicle on the road today with existing and proven technology, compact fuel storage, familiarity in much of the world, the works. It's great.
But you said "barely even to reject it", rejecting 15 QPS should not be heavy on any resource, right? Or is the actual problem identifying the bot traffic?

You are aware that `off_t` isn't in the C standard?

The standard has `fgetpos`:

> The fgetpos function stores the current values of the parse state (if any) and file position indicator for the stream pointed to by stream in the object pointed to by pos

> If a file can support positioning requests (such as a disk file, as opposed to a terminal), then a file position indicator associated with the stream is positioned at the start (character number zero) of the file, unless the file is opened with append mode in which case it is implementation-defined whether the file position indicator is initially positioned at the beginning or the end of the file.

Meaning `fgetpos` mustn't work for files that don't support `positioning requests`, whiles relative offsets using `fseek` could still work.

Or even AT&T. Compensation in their retention department at the moment starts with a bonus amount, and subtracts from it for any number of normal things that happen during the course of their business day, such as a customer who talks to them cancelling.

i can't speak to trino, but with my experience with aws athena and snowflake, they're roughly on par with each other across the board.
I think we know what happened there (our message for the "close" button on the trial modal was confusing), and we've fixed it.

Please give it a try once more?
I'm confused by the reason behind your question (which I'm assuming you have, I guess). Are you arguing that scientific works shouldn't be made accessible?
Nice concept, but at some point you get forced into brute forcing your solution, which isn't as much fun.
It's a means of widely distributing text files that can be commented on, forked, improved, merged, and presents a history.

Your alternative is hosting a blog and losing all of those features and free hosting.

I do not understand how you can hold your opinion, excepting perhaps an unexamined assumption that all repositories must be exclusively for serious coding projects. Which would be understandable but, I think, in error.
That might be your definition, but it is absolutely not the definition used in legal proceedings to determine monopolistic behavior.
> What about not adding even more ways how we should avoid using C?

That's a mute point for C's target audience because they already understand that they need to be mindful of what the language does.
I think the idea is to use a traditional drilling technique to start the whole until they are past any gas pockets, then use the beams after that. The beam drilling doesn't require fluid, and the process itself creates a glass wall/lavatube on the side of the hole. They drill quite slowly relative to traditional drilling to evacuate the ash and fumes, but they don't need to replace the drill head so the overall process is faster.

Why are bugs a bad thing?
From a human perspective I can understand the dislike of things like mosquitoes, but we seem to enjoy decimating ecosystems purely for our own benefit.
I'm guessing "do my own thing" looks something like:

-- Control my own schedule

-- Control my financial success

So maybe you think you'll become an entrepreneur. As a developer, apart from any other skills, one really only knows how to make things for other developers. So then you think maybe you either need to find a bright idea or you need to partner with someone with a bright idea. One of these involves giving up control, and the other one involves becoming something you aren't at the moment, IE: an expert in something else.

So maybe you think you'll contract / be a consultant. But that also involves giving up control and can devolve into being an employee by a different name.

You might even come to the conclusion at some point that you really like developing things... but not for other people. At which point you have to ask yourself whether software is really the career for you.

So to go back to your original question: There are two ways to be independent as a developer:

-- Be a hobbyist who builds things for themself.

-- Be an entrepreneur with a product that you control yourself.
yeah, but most countries in Europe as still much higher per capita.

Holy shit, and here I thought malware on a smart TV was one of those "could happen, probably never will" scenarios.
What is the harm to you? Not releasing it also means that you don’t profit from it.

If you’re just sitting on it and not monetizing it, and you release it and someone else generates revenue with it, you have not been harmed in any way.
It seems like they are specifically targeting engineers at big co's with learning budgets rather than people paying out of pocket. Much cheaper than sending an engineer to a conference
> Human intelligence = the standard intelligence we exhibit today as humans vs. machine intelligence from something like ML

Yah, but what is that?

Are you talking about an IQ score? Ability to do the tasks that ML is not currently good at isn't a great measure (a few years ago, Go or creating high quality paintings would have qualified).

E.g. one example of "D" is "rigorously studying and improving human education". But there's infinite clarification on what the problem you're trying to solve before we agree what improvement is:

* Mean, median, or peak outcomes?

* Performance on a given curriculum, or on a given abstract class of problems? Does creativity count? Is an education system that improves various kinds of quantitative metrics by 20% but results in a 5% less creative and flexible population a "win" or not?

Pretty much all the same arguments apply no matter which approach you consider.

> Not asking for a normative judgement or a positive one,

Well, normative considerations are important. If experimenting with brain-computer interfaces for quick advancement harms humans, is it a "good path"? How do we compare these paths? Quickness, magnitude of results, "best" resulting society, least harms, some kind of cost measure?
This is just a tabloid spinning the original story:

All the best for the project.
Maybe speed limits are the wrong idea - you probably do want trucks to be able to speed up above their cruising speed before going up a hill. But dedicated lanes and tele-op could set up an incentive structure that favors a lower speed without any laws.
I think you're reading it wrong: GP is saying if the brain could use as many calories as were available, then people with access to fewer calories would be at a handicap; but such is not the case.
leaf blowers are low on my list of things to fix in LA, but i don't like them on balance mainly because of your last point. it's almost never faster or better to use a leaf blower over the combination of rake and broom. it's just flawed mental bias that a machine is 'less work' than manual tools.

in my neighborhood, laborers use blowers to blow shit randomly into the air and the gutters (and into my windows) rather than being picked up and put in the trash/compost bin. blowers create pollution via that random action as well as via their exhaust, and that pollution combined with their ineffectiveness make them a net negative to me, not the noise. while i don't love noise either, any outdoor labor will produce some noise, so noise is unavoidable, which is why it's limited to working hours by statute (after 8am).

car/motorcycle exhaust noise, on the other hand, is entirely artificial, unnecessary, aggressive, and offensive, and should not only be banned, but punished heavily.
Whoa, do these people know about and understand your stance here? If someone goes to the trouble to get you a toy at all, I would hope you'd give them the benefit of the doubt before scratching them off the friend list.
Auto makers oughta feel threatened by CarPlay
Not how I read it. Thought they were saying that our brains could evolve to use more calories since they are abundant now, instead of storing the calories as fat as our bodies currently do. Basically what if you could make your brain 50% more powerful at the expense of needing more calories, it would seem like a pretty good trade off today since many of us eat more calories than we need anyway.
> There is no such thing as a "Rust community".

Actually, there is: https://www.rust-lang.org/community. It's centralized and they even have appointed moderators https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/moderation. A bunch of them resigned recently due to alleged toxicity in the rust community and governance. https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/23/rust_moderation_team_....

Rust's community structure, and its accountability for its members misbehavior, runs counter to other programming languages like Zig https://kristoff.it/blog/interfacing-with-zig/ which explicitly claims to be decentralized.
Love MMM. Doesn't pop up a lot on HN, but the discussion is interesting when it does.
Not the kind of machine readability that he was talking about and you know it.
Amazing document, highly recommended. Worth the long read; it gradually gets into very interesting math and low level optimizations.
All I stated was that if you have a lawn, it is possible for uncollected leaves to kill or damage parts of your lawn.

I don't know why "they" don't do it in Europe, I have no idea where the commenter I replied to is from in Europe. I was just stating one reason why people do it here.

Q: "Why do people in America clean leaves off the lawn?"
A: "Because it's possible it can damage the lawn if you don't in some circumstances."

Simple as that. No idea why people do or do not do it elsewhere.
Revealed: How climate breakdown is supercharging toll of extreme weather
This is ridiculous. I host e.g. the source code of my FLOSS games on GitLab; most of them are "dormant", because they're complete. If it turns out to be true, it means bye bye to GitLab. I may end up paying for hosting somewhere else, but I'm not going to pay GitLab a single cent after such a cruel bait'n'switch.
Just to expand on the part of “ill defined question”. “Human intelligence” might not be a scale that goes up and down, so it’s a bit hard to say for sure. There is probably at least a tradeoff of flexibility vs specialization. There is also physical constraint where intelligence might be limited due to the whole brain/ machine becoming a distributed system (and you can’t have proper single point consciousness, for example). Though we don’t even know if consciousness is related to intelligence.
Yep, at Microsoft's level you definitely want to have monitoring that will catch an incident like "50% of T-Mobile customers using IPv6 from Atlanta can't connect". But it is hard! Even harder is "have slow connections" :-)
because it looks cool on film, and changes the angle that the shot can be done at while the phone still provides visual clues.
This actually makes sense. Or, at the very least, it wouldn't surprise me.

Another end game: some sort of ID is required to use anything (that ID being a local phone number, which can be tracked down to you).
Also just to note.. I am currently working on a refresh of Trino: The Definitive Guide .. and would love to see you all at Trino Summit in November.

`sizeof(size_t)` and `size_t x; sizeof x` must be constant expressions. It is possible to create a c implementation where the size of a pointer is arbitrarily large, but it can't grow/isn't infinite.

For any give C implementation, it is thus trivial to theoretically solve the halting problem (assuming no stdio.h stuff is used).
Most vegetation is made out of air and water. Mostly air. C, O, and N come from air. H comes from water, and some of that comes from water in air. The inputs from dirt are under 5% of plant mass. They have to be, or farms would dig holes in the ground.

Feynman talk on this.[1]

So, with that out of the way, what does this company actually have?

* They have a cool web site with no useful info.

* They have another web site with useful info.[2]

* You can't even order samples of the product.

* They have a useful Wikipedia article.[3]

* It's a fermentation process, so it takes heat and water, not just air.

* They've been around since at least 2019 and have burned through about $20 million in funding.

* None of their PR discusses cost of the product.

Or just do it where it makes sense and don't do it on two lane roads. Doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing policy. Many roads already have lower speed limits and lane restrictions for trucks. That could easily be expanded where it makes sense.
This is blowing my mind. Thank you for the clear answer.
I have used protobufs and grpc on the web before. Maybe this project is the magic bullet that makes it easy to do, but in the past that typescript support from Google and 3rd parties (improbable eng) was lacking and there was little interest in making simple changes to make it easier to use.

On top of that, the increase in JS shipped to user's due to the size of the generated protobuf objects was unacceptable for anything that cares about keeping their bundle size manageable. Have you done anything to address this issue?
Bill Ackman has been vocal on this issue and check out his Twitter for more commentary on this. He feels Visa's board is in big trouble here.

It isn’t a serious accusation. Peterson hasn’t never been secretive of his bigotry and right wing extremism. Going more mask off now just makes him more extreme, not a different person.

Making the schema management simpler was definitely one of the things we wanted to do here. We wanted it to be easy to set up and maintain, and schema inconsistency is one of those things that has been a continued sore spot from my past experiences. The only caveat here is that our post only discusses data that is already in Kafka for the most part. To have a complete solution, ideally the client submitting the structured event to Kafka would also recognize and enforce that same serialization schema -- which is a bit of harder problem to solve in a general sense, but there are ways to do this.
This blew my mind, we all walk around with some hilariously wrong assumptions. Thanks for the info.
The unpaid labor part especially hits home with me. I have a REALLY niche background and have tons of notes and blogs about it. I'm in the process of becoming a lecturer since I love helping out. But it feels like i'm doing free work for a company that despises me when I post technical things and guides. If I post anything odd, like a post about anticheat in a videogame, it gets removed and taken down by reddit mods. Despite it being very educational.

It's especially bad because of how rampant auto generated text is in security research, If you google "PDF Malware Example", it will give you 50 web pages with all the same copypasted text with code that hasn't work since 2004 where they first ripped it from some dudes blog.
