> On a side note : am I the only one who is tired of the current (decade(s)-long...) trend in blogs/articles of "deconstructing" positive/common-sense behaviors? "The dangers of tidiness", "Embrace your bipolarity", "Why I stopped aiming for excellence" etc... (I am not denying the risks of being too extreme and I understand the "click-bait" need of those writers, but still, it is very telling...)

I think the you're seeing unconnected things as connected here, it's very much a problem with the internet in general, these blog posts and articles aren't aimed at everyone, they're talking to a specific subset of people who do have in fact have issues with toxic ideas about work, "The perfect is the enemy of the good" is important advice _for perfectionists_ like my sister desperately needed to hear that growing up, I most certainly did not.

The internet in all of it's design tells you that any advice that gets popular enough must be some universal wisdom even when the people who write these articles do prefix everything they say with constant reminders that their advice is only for specific people (and the ones that don't do that claim to have found the answer to everything and start cults).

This trend you're seeing isn't a cultural shift, it's just a collection of people with specific problems trying to help each other. I could say the same about the life-optimisation obsessed section of the self help market that does shout about hard work, discipline, and grindset.

tl;dr they're only "positive common sense behaviours" to you, but the article's are for the people for whom they are in fact toxic blockades to happiness. My sister really could've done with hearing that tidiness isn't more important than being able to actually use your space.
(Not a DB Engineer but poke at enough different DBs to armchair semi-confidently)

In the case of Postgres I'd expect to see it indeed be mostly about random updates to leaves.

I suppose Partitioning could come into play but I'm not sure how you'd set it up in a way that was beneficial and dynamic enough for the situation in the first place.

But, It's worth remembering that most other DBs (Oracle, MSSQL, MySql/etc) do have clustered indexes, and in some cases you can't just flip over to Postgres. (Even if you want to!)
I've seen documentaries about Woodstocks and the difference is the market catered to. It went from a fairly chill group of acts and attendees at a venue that was not prepared to aggressive acts catering to young white males resulting in mayhem.

I wasn't included in the many and various board meetings across all companies to make the decision to move production... In fact, I wasn't in any. And to be quiet frank, I probably was born yet for many of them or still shitting myself in a diaper.
Is it any different than using archive.ph?

I've seen this thread. Next up: photoshopping male nipples onto female breasts.
My understanding is that the world has two different agreed upon metrics. We have one definition that was a effectively a rule of thumb for the uneducated, unwashed masses. Then we have one that actual experts use when investigating actual policy that would affect those masses.
What do you call a software engineer who does standup?

A software engineer.

What do you call a software engineer who studies history?

A software engineer.

What do you call a software engineer who sticks to software engineering?

A coder.
Yeah, we know exclusive Linux users are full of it.
We have kids museums in the US too. As a new parent I just discovered 2 nearby that have been here for decades. They have old donated vehicles like a police car, city bus, ambulances, or science stations, things like that. Things like plays exist, but it rural places they tend to be limited productions, either school or a traveling group. It may not make financial sense to have a play offered 6 nights/week all year in a small town, but a couple weekends throughout the year is common.
It’s only a troll if you tricked people. How many of the 12000 tweet likes were people liking the joke vs people legit confused? The article quotes two of them.
Also a fan of this format though I wish it was native to postgres so we dont have to convert to UUID for storage (maybe a custom type would do it).

There's definitely a healthy margin but don't underestimate how much time goes into making everything work smoothly. The major cloud providers do a lot of things like handling zero-downtime migration between failed physical hosts, monitoring for infrastructure issues, firmware testing/security/updates, etc. which is completely transparent to you until you realize that you haven't spent time in years on things like hardware or environmental failures (stuff like that SSD 40k hour bug which showed up here, recently, for example) or dealing with stuff like Spectre.

The big confound here is scale: AWS can amortize the cost of someone really digging into firmware security over millions of customers but a smaller provider can't. You might not notice that until you either need to get your environment certified or some kind of vulnerability / supply chain attack against a hardware vendor is revealed. That can mean that AWS is both making a hefty profit reselling those engineers' work to all of their customers but also that it's still cheaper to pay them than it is for you to do that work yourself.
Sooo I'd just say I'm not really "never buy anything made in China", my comment was more geared toward if you're going to criticize Apple for making things in China, ostensibly for political reasons, that doesn't excuse your own buying of things made in China, particularly when you have options (power banks notwithstanding).
Maybe not that much smaller? The density of meat is close to 1gm/cm³, that of the sun about 1.41gm/cm³, but the sun is relatively small for a star and larger stars are less dense.

I’m neither an astrophysicist nor a food expert, but sausages have lots of carbon and contain a reasonable amount of water and thus, oxygen, so I don’t see young stars match them chemically. Maybe, some really old ones will, fairly short befor they run out of stuff to fuse.

If you limit things to a star’s atmosphere, you may have better luck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_star)
Apart from all the things at the top that have no sources and that honestly sound like propaganda:

> Back before all of this, LGBQT people were happy to just be seen as normal and like everyone else

Since when, sorry? When were we *ever* seen as normal people. Slurs flying around. People getting beat up. Suicide rates for trans youth are through the roof. Constant hate and bullying offline and online, and all of this is just for the countries that have it good.
In some places, being yourself is a literal death sentence.

Just the fact that you say that LGBTQ+ people were "happy" to be seen as "normal" shows how out of touch you are with the things queer people experience on a daily basis. And not only that.. what the hell does "normal" mean. What, you expect us to conform just enough that the straights don't see us as an eyesore?

I shouldn't be angry about a random comment on the internet, but I am. And you know why? Because right now, at this point in time, there's many people in my country and others that say the exact same bullshit that you're saying, and they weaponize it to:

- deny my right to marry my partner
- deny my right to adopt kids
- deny my friends' right to start HRT, so that she can stop feeling gender dysphoria every single day
- stop laws that would protect me from being publicly berated in public for my sexuality
- push homophobic and transphobic rethoric on their children, so that LGBTQ+ teens go through hell

I'd wager that "marriage", "family", "not feeling like shit", "being respected" are pretty basic rights... aren't they?
That costs 100 dollars a year. And you can't share what you made with anyone without getting Apples permission.
How does he think dissemination of scientific knowledge actually works? 99.99% of people don't have the education to truly verify breakthrough scientific work.

It's a lot of pageantry and ethical training to make the appeal to authority more valid, but it will always at its core be appeal to authority.
There are good festivals happening, its just no longer that kind of music that people gather around.
While we have you here, can you guys take a look at why the Google Cache feature is very hard to find nowadays? It's almost as if most big sites don't have an option to see the cached version, and even when they do, finding the "Cached" button on desktop seems impossible, this started happening ever since the "More :" menu got redesigned (to show "about this result"), the cached button just isn't there sometimes. (Ex: Amazon).
You could probably run something over the output summary to make it sound like commentary. A filter to make the comment seem "unsure" about the conclusions of the article, or one to make it express gratitude that the article was written.
That's when they're not getting enough water...

The last draft expired without any consensus so I dont have high hopes for this one. We will see.
To be fair, China was ready to start WWIII a few days ago.
Alternate theory: they havent opend the in-restaurant seating becuase they make more money keeping it closed and operating drive-through (and delivery) only.
Not really. Intel, Nvidia and AMD have learned to ramp supply up and down depending on demand to ensure they keep their margins very healthy.

Even if their costs come down due to fab oversupply, don't expect them to pass their savings along to you and me.

They have near monopolies in their sectors so have no incentive to lower prices too much.
So if I’m building a service that lets somebody login with a DID, and I’m using a DID library to verify your authN then that library needs a different code block for every one of those methods?? LOL. What could possibly go wrong? Or less sarcastically, how could this possibly be expected to work?
Editing is important too ;) One effective sentence beats ten well-crafted sentences.
Can you explain what changed about your opinion after moving into a suburb?
It would probably help if you reduced dopamine spikes and made them more intermittent (less regular).

If you stack multiple pleasures together it could be making it harder to focus. (Like drinking + watching something you enjoy + snacks, or smoking weed + playing video games).

https://youtu.be/QmOF0crdyRU

This video explains the science behind it.

Make your dopamine spikes more random and intermittent and try to reduce the peak on them by sometimes enjoying your pleasures separately instead of stacking them all at the same time.
I mean there are countless documented situations where U.S. law enforcement has dramatically overreached or misstepped, and personally, I’d prefer people who have cameras and microphones in my home to require the U.S. judiciary to review some facts and agree to issue a warrant for any access. Amazon doesn’t meet this test and so this acquisition likely means we’ll be parting ways with iRobot equipment in our home.

I guess you could say my threat model is not “the United States is my adversary”, and more that I appreciate some checks and balances being present on ‘local yokel’ police departments which are empirically not always doing the right thing (especially where oversight is low).
I'd prefer some anecdata from people actually owning oled TVs ;)

Like "I always forget to shut down my PS5 when i stop playing and I have/don't have burn in on my oled tv".
disappointing that there was no example :/
Thanks timou!
I think if you don't use some relatively niche packages, nix is fine. However there are some quirks such as setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for CUDA that may need some tinkering.

If you want to give nix another try, I strongly recommend you to use nix flakes and home manager. Nix flakes allows you to pin dependency versions, and home manager provides a lot of configurations for commonly used packages.
Oops, see how my mind became lazy when thinking about such a boring, tasteless function? A function like memdup() would be slightly more useful.

At least, glob() has its own globfree() function, leaving room for slightly more mindful organization.
Error: password must contain at least two capital letters
True but I don't think it's necessarily malicious - simply a stupid oversight of not being able to access the Mac mail preferences before completing its setup flow. Given that they say this I don't believe there's anything preventing a third-party app (or the command line) from changing this parameter.
China Is Climate Change
Now that china is producing more greenhouse gasses than every other developed country combined, what can we do? If we can’t stop them from ramping things up, should we consider geoengineering?
Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, operating in China. The Taiwanese businesses knew they were shooting themselves in the foot but opened up factories in China anyways.

The comparison the Ukraine is getting old, mainly because I think a lot of history has been forgotten. Taiwan's formal name is the Republic of China, a government that was in control of Beijing in WWII, and allies with the US. During the Civil War, there was a truce been the CCP and the Kuomingtang (the ruling party of ROC back then) to fight against the Japanese. After WWII, there was a civil war between the CCP and the Kuomingtang. The Kuomingtang lost military engagements and retreated to the island of Taiwan. What makes the issue of Taiwanese and Chinese soveriengty complicated is that the Kuomingtang had asserted territorial rights over mainland China, but the military reality weakens those claims year after year. By the time of the late 80s, that position over reclaiming China had become the equivalent of the right-wing politics in Taiwan.

Culturally, the Taiwanese and Chinese inherit from the same, ancient Chinese civilization, with the Taiwanese having preserved much of the Chinese history, and the PROC did not (Cultural Revolution).

Unlike Ukraine, Taiwan (ROC) is not a buffer state between two major political powers. They were a veto power in the UN before CCP-controlled China, backed by the Soviets, forced their way into the UN Security Council. It is less about Taiwan being protected by US and more about the US honoring old alliances.

It's from that lens that Apple's response is interesting.
"Intuitive" usually just means "what I'm used to and I can't remember when it was confusing anymore."
> If it was that easy, everyone would pass.

The implication is not that the questions are easy for the average person, but the questions are relatively easy to programmers talented in solving these kinds of questions (even if they don't actively grind problems on leetcode).

I personally think it's true that there might not be a high correlation between being good at solving leetcode style problems and being good at software development in general, and there's definitely a valid point to be made that some FAANG companies are essentially off feeding unconscionable ad money to a class of "smart" people who can leetcode without a bitter grind.

But when people complain about mandatory leetcode grinding, I just can't help but find it kind of ironic that they're simultaneously feeling bitter about not being able to get that $300k+ job, yet also feeling self-entitled because they have some so-called industry experience (which may or may not be relevant), and also proud of forgetting what they were taught in their CS curriculum... I suspect the Dunning–Kruger effect is strong in those cases.
> I work for Google Search. Quotes replaced the + operator

Quotes existed before the + operator was removed. Unless the algorithm for quotes changed from exact match to match anything, which seems likely from the results I get.
Great, thanks! But that only solves printing. How do I do the reverse operation? I.e. parsing a string to an integer type of an unknown size, while checking for overflow?
You're missing the biggest practical source of fake news: people are absolutely determined to comment on articles after reading only the headline, and headlines optimize for attention-grabbing rather than informativeness. You're completely right about what actually happened here, but the majority of people who see this while it's on the front page are going to walk away confident that Apple did some much more problematic thing.
I HATE the fact technology has to be influenced so much by politics. The only reason we are not travel the stars by now is our own fault.
I read this as Plan B for IUDs and was confused why we would want to encrypt birth control.
Is it Go Dot or Go Dough? Asking for a friend :)
Now that Godot seems to be getting much hotter, I feel like I am having to update my game engine more and more frequently. It's great to see then update the navigation system, but will it break my game? I worry it could be heading to the same problem I see with Unity where things are constantly getting updated and re engineered. I have seen professional teams working in Unity be many version behind because they dread the work of updating.

Plus, I don't know how many more integrations I want to do on 3.x before 4.0. I am hoping that the move to Vulkan will give me better 3d performance on mobile
I don't hear these types of stories about Glastonbury, or Download, or Coachella, or Rock in Japan or other large festivals that happen (nearly) every year. Am I just not finding them?
The sales team still gets "pro" laptops.
The society where children "will probably" have less friends for not having a key to access this privilege, in this case a gadget, is totally FUBAR.
The thing is: the photo is OBVIOUSLY a slice of sausage. I don't understand how anyone could be taken in at all.
I'd say the key to reducing poverty is to get rid of the cultural acceptance and promotion of the idea that doing what other people want you to do is the only way you should be allowed to eat food, have medicine when you're sick, and have shelter from the rain.

But maybe society is nowhere near ready enough yet for a full overhaul away from capitalist, consumerist selfishness, and my ideals are just dreams that will never materialize in my lifetime.
As Eth is moving to PoS soon, I'd expect it have to affect Bitcoin's price more.
Headline is falsified. This is about boxes shipped into China, not people.

No wonder they keep getting my order wrong. I was using the brown heart (heroin) instead of the red heart (MDMA).
I was there in a semi-professional capacity. AT&T Labs had developed a multi-channel 3D microphone array and we hung it above the emerging artists' stage. I didn't stay overnight at the facility, so I only saw the degradation when I arrived in the morning. The second day we came in, all the commercial tents were soaked with urine and every trash can had been dumped out and piled up to form a massive all-day drum circle. We left before things got really bad, but it was obvious they were headed in an ugly direction (largely, I think, due to deliberate neglect and extractive behavior.)

On the bright side: the scientists at the Labs were very pleased with the microphone's performance, since (sitting in a room with six speakers) you could clearly hear the drum circle behind and outside the stage doors.
I remember hearing about Woodstock 99 in the news during that time. That there were "problems". That documentary was pretty shocking. I hadn't realized it was that bad / chaotic.

How is wanting your products to be aligned with their vision evidence of dysfunction?
Not sure how that compares to all the companies that require Windows.

Would be interesting to know what business considerations lead to the decision to open source MoonRay.
> but China could throw Apple into a huge crisis tomorrow if they were cut off, since it would take years to ramp up capacity elsewhere.

Would not be painless for China though. The thing about trade is, it’s trade. While Apple and American consumers benefit, so does China or obviously they wouldn’t trade. They’re not making our phones as a charity to us.
A branch of that theory posits that black holes are higher dimensional beings that happen to like the taste of this universe.

Also that entropy proves expiration dates are misleading; shelf life is not a cliff but a monotonically decreasing value.
Check the structure of these jobs and then we can talk about how it actually will be a boom...

Do you see industrial and manufacturing jobs as a major percentage here?
Totally agreed. The biggest example of "love" I read in the piece was... people jointly throwing plastic bottles in the air (most of which they presumably just left on the ground)? That's the epitome of human kindness?

Unlike the original Woodstock, this doesn't sound like a group that came together out of any shared values other than to have as much fun as they could, whatever the cost. Oh, and of course to brag that they were there. Not exactly inspiring, and I'm dismayed it's at the top of HN.

India and Vietnam, which are already sites of Apple production, are among the countries being seen as an alternative option to China[1]. However, parts for iPhone, iPad and Macs come from around the globe and are assembled in China, India and Vietnam. Apple depends upon a global supply chain to make final products. The production of the iPhone doubled this year in India because of ongoing geo-tension and strict lockdowns in China. However, that is just 7% of production iPhones. Anyway, I hope China and the USA reach some middle ground and keep Taiwan safe. Any war between these two giant countries would disaster the world economy and escalate to world war 3.

Woodstock 99 was more of a commercial endeavor and they booked the most popular acts of the time, which happened to be bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit unfortunately.
> So, if a supposedly neutral international body sees it fit to maintain the link, then what hope have you got for individual countries or their companies ?

The body was most certainly not neutral.
I don't know, I went to outside lands(SF) for three years straight 2011-2013 and it wasn't too bad, not being able to leave and come back in during the day was horrible(they wanted you to eat over priced food inside the festival) but everything else was pretty great(water stations, bathrooms pretty clean for a festival). I also don't hear alot of bad stuff around Cochella and it has truly massive crowds. I think woodstock 99 really was poorly run which is why we haven't seen another one since.
it's bewildering how a company can lose money for 13 years.....
